TITTWIS 43 - Sandbox Edition

I am not expecting diamonds, though; maybe a book or something. I think last year A. got me a bunch of See's Candy, which I love.

(Oh yes, and happy Valentine's Day to all of you!)

flowers are nice but yes transitory. I really just want steaks. and sex.

Happy vday luna!

And yes, happy VDay everyone!

my coworker brought girl scout cookies. i'm about to snag one.

god, am i going to work today? all the work i've done so far is massively annoying which makes me not want to carry on. i have to find something more interesting.

(xpost to Sam) Well, diamonds could be considered a waste of money, I suppose, but so could almost any other gift. (books - you can get them from the library; flowers - gorgeous, but they die; chocolates - gone too fast and also lots of calories...). Actually, I'd be happy with any of the things you mention, though!

Also, I'm happy that I can stay home tonight and not have to spend the night in class. Oh, and I'm excited to hear about the kids' V-Day parties at school. They were both really excited about it when they left this morning.

the girl scout cookies are thin mints, bleh. I got the peanut butter patties the other day. num num.

I'm surprised to hear that kids have parties in school anymore! I thought most of them had been banished.

As for the Girl Scout Cookies, we have several Girl Scouts come to our door every year and we buy a box or two from each. Even in last weeks' insanely cold Minnesota weather! (Ahem, then we buy a case of Samoas from A's boss's daughter and stick them in the freezer so we can eat them all year).

Oh and Sara, my friend got the peanut butter for me but it hasn't arrived yet. He said it's amazing, though. I'm picking up bread and celery and Fluff today just to have, like, a day of peanut butter.

I will always call the Samoas "Samoas." I will have to check what the box says this year, though.

Samosas are Indian pastries with spicy meat or vegetables inside, right?

Peanut butter: cinnamon-raisin, and sun-dried tomato! I'm opening one and saving one and haven't decided which.

Also, they do samples of everything at PB Loco, so if you go and the kids haven't exhausted you, pop in. Apparently it's a very friendly place.

I will eat peanut butter on a spoon, plain. Oooh, maybe I should make peanut butter cookies. Or chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips. Hmmmm. I'm STARVING now.

Weird admission of eating habits: I like to scrape the PB and chocolate off the Tagalogs with my teeth first. It's a once a year event.

For the record, I'll be spending my Valentine's evening making (and eating) Asparagus Jack Quesadillas and cupcakes and watching Lost (with Nick - 108 days to go!).

Old Termites, Let me show you them

Robot flipping bird means I love you

I love vans and want a whole wardrobe in different colors. The other day I was lamenting not having any in solid, neutral colors for "business" wear. (since I'm crazy web developer I'm given lots of leeway in attire but feel funny going to meetings full of directors in my hot pink skull head vans.)

im really missing spring and summer now that i have a yard to enjoy. i can't wait to sit on the screen porch or in the hammock with a cooler full of icey suds.

I miss sweating. Weird, huh? I mean, I sweat at the gym sometimes, but I need to get my tank top and flimsy skirt sweat going (accompanied by an Icee of course).

Those sound like awesome presents. Nick and I decided not to do presents for V day this year since we're shelling out the big bucks for our wedding rings this weekend, but damn were those german chocolate cupcakes ever delicious.

ah the wedding rings. its nice that mine cost $400 and hers cost $2800.

other weather has been bizarre. bitterly freezing in the morning, 60s and springlike in the afternoon. bah.

Unfortunately, it seems he fucked off to the Bahamas.

Sam, your robot guy turned out really cute! The termite damage... scary.

A. gave me some books and some chocolates (no vans) for Valentine's Day. Very good stuff!
