my valentines day so far

this year my valentines day started off well. i woke up and cuddled up with the argentinian as long as i could before having to get ready for work. i really didn't want to get up. i felt (and still do) so tired. things went a little downhill from there. there was insane traffic on my way to work. a normally 10 min drive took me 45+ minutes, which caused me to run out of gas. i then had to walk to the nearest gas station from half way up the offramp. upon reaching said gas station, i learned that one of those gallon container things costs $15. i had exactly $15 with me. i could not afford both the gas, and the container to hold it in. perfect. i then have to call my boyfriend to come save me, which he does, even though he is working on homework, and will be late for class. he really is the best. i couldn't have a better guy to be my "valentine". so now, i'm at work, where i really don't want to be. but at least i have tonight to look forward to.

for the last week or so the ladies room at my work has reminded me of something out of a horror movie. the lights over the sinks worked, but the rest of the lights were out, except for one lone flickering light. everytime i would use the restroom it would remind me of all those scenes where a girl gets attacked by some monster or villian. finally, after the day was half gone, the lights were fixed. i no longer think of being attacked when i'm at work.

new addition

so i went to the SPCA last night, hping to find a cute little animal to take home with me. and after about 2 hours of waiting (i had no idea it could take so long), i did. i found the cutest little kitten. someone else almost adopted her, but they brought out the wrong kitten to them, so i got the one i really wanted.she (i keep saying "she" cause i have yet to pick a name. any suggestions?) was scared at first and on the way home (naturally), but once we got home she calmed down immediately, and was so friendly and playful. she was exploring all over my room, and then when the argentinian and i started watching a movie, she cuddled up right between us and fell asleep. it was a little more than i thought it would cost, but totally worth it!
