Valentine's Gifts

My lovely daughter was nice enough to get me a lovely card, a Dove chocolate rose and a bottle of Calgon body spray in "Pineapple coconut." Which was a nice surprise even though I gave her
the money :) And yes, I did place these nice gifts in front of my skull and cross bones headscarf just to contrast the lovey dovey stuff. I woke up to my Safeway grocery delivery (yes I ordered some food online because my "Mom" is in Hawaii on vacation and couldn't take me to pick up the much needed things like gallons of 2% milk and cubes of Diet Pepsi and I had almost forgotten it was Valentine's day until I saw my daughter's gifts. I had left my daughter a handmade card before she left for school in the morning and this is what the outside and inside looked like - don't laugh.

I also bought her this red Hershey Kiss fondue pot set which she only found mildly entertaining. I had hoped she might want to use it when her friends stay over however I am told her friends really wouldn't be interested in that kind of thing. We did use it after the pb&j stuffed french toast sticks (which she said were actually pretty good.) I melted two Hershey bars in plain with a little milk and we did banana slices, wafer squares and Rice Krispies I cut into tiny pieces. I wasn't quite sure what to dip so that's what I came up with. I must tell you it was really hard for me but I wanted her to use the fondue set so I ate the chocolate and sweets. Ew. I really don't like chocolate or sugary stuff. Overall, the day was nice but nothing spectacular. I stayed in and just did the dishes, no movie or nothing. I did fry the kid a bologna sand which while we watched the season finale of Beauty & The Geek (wasn't it awesome!) Here's to another day done.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Today has been a crazy chaotic mess. It was supposed to be payday. I was initially told that my leave of absence would be covered by my vacation hours (35) and whatever was left of my sick days (4) With this in mind, I figured since so many weeks have passed this time would have been processed already; I was wrong. I woke and logged into my online banking account to find out I did not get paid! I spent the day at work frantically trying to generate a paycheck, with no luck. I'm still getting the run around about when, how and if I should be getting one for such time or not. My store manager will be contacting payroll about it tomorrow. Grr.

Not to mention I had a bill that had to be paid today! Lucky for me I was able to get it done with a little help and an hour long lunch.

My daughter has went to her friend's place as part of her normal weekend routine, so I have a little time to sit back and relax. It's been a hectic, worrisome day but now it's all over and I can watch some of my favorite TV. I need a blanket though, we still need space heaters! Brrr!

Television

America's Next Top Model
I don't know if any of you watch this show but I have watched every season. I absolutely LOVE Tyra Banks and always have! I enjoy every aspect of the show and I must say I was SOOO happy that Anchel was eliminated! That girl might be pretty but she was too whiney! I was sad that Brooke got voted off but that's just because I really liked her personality, not because of her photos. Does anyone else watch this show and who is your pick for A.N.T.M?

One Tree Hill
This show always makes me a little teary eyed, wether it be for happy or for sad. I am so happy to see Payton has a brother to help her feel more centered. I just wonder when Luke and Payton will get together...

Veronica Mars
Veronica and Logan are probably my favorite television couple like ever and if they break up (which is where it seems to be leading) I am going to have a fit! :(
