my day

you ever have one of those days?  well today was mine.  i woke up late this morning and was therefore late for work.  well that just sets the whole day off.  i had to wake up my grumpy husband and beg him to give me a ride to work.  once i got to work i was teased for the first hour about being late.  luckily i am a fairly good spirited person so i laughed and joked along with them.  i shock myself sometimes with my ability to appear in a great mood even though i'm just not really feeling it.

at one point during the day i went for a walk and missed a step and literally fell on my face.  nothing was damaged but my pride.  also ended up staying a half hour after work to make up for the time i missed in the morning.  *sigh*

went shopping after work to get gifts for my boy to take to a party he's going to this weekend.  grumpy came with us as well.  bitched the whole time.  another *sigh*

i'm really hoping that tomorrow is a much better day and not too terribly busy at work.

oh...i forgot...valentines day.  i'm finding lately that i am getting more and more disappointed with the gifts i get from my hubby.  first i should tell you that we don't really celebrate valentines day as our anniversary is close to the same day.  well every year i bug him that it would be really nice to get flowers sent to work.  he is a cheapskape though so he NEVER wants to do this.

this year though, he decided to give it a try.  he showed up at my work with a dozen roses.  they weren't wrapped up or anything, just in that clear plastic stuff.  as he gives them to me he says "you'd better put those in water right away".  i didn't think much of it...

once i got the flowers home i set them in a vase in the kitchen.  i walked past them just before going to bed and noticed that they were all dying.  my daughter then revealed to me that he had bought them the day before so they sat out in the cold vehicle without water all night!  i mean, i guess the thought is nice?  i dunno...any opinions on this??

first time...

well...this is my first time doing a blog.  so i'm just trying this out as my first post.  i guess we'll see how and where it goes from here.
