Hearts...Chocolate... AND WINGS???

Sweets expressed that romance isn't his strong point. As someone who is in love with being in love that should worry me, right? Not at all. I smile when he questions his ability to be romantic. I don't think that he realizes how romantic his small gestures are and how much they mean to me.

So the great decider of romance is around the corner. Valentine's Day is usually do or die time for the male species. This will be our first one.....we were going back and forth about what we wanted to do until I saw this......











<----------All-Star Weekend??? Dunk Contest???? Seriously???









(sigh) Ok...so I don't want to ruin the man's plans. But I can think of no better way to spend the weekend than laying in bed and watching the goodness on tv (short of being there in person). I know deep down how much he loves basketball, so i figured it would be great for the both of us, right?? So I mustered up the courage and said....

Dani: Can we just spend Vday in bed watching the All-Star Game Dunk Contest?
Sweets: What makes you think that I didn't already have plans?
Dani: I didn't think that per se.....I'm just telling you what I'd like to do
Sweets: (Pause) we can do that
Dani: (Smiles) Great!
(long pause)
Sweets: I think I may love you even more for suggesting that
Dani: I know


So....I think its settled. Bring on the wings and it'll be a Happy Valentine's Day indeed!

30 Rocks?

I asked sweets how he could be so sure about our plan to move and kick-start a new chapter in our lives. I always worry about the details because I understand, all to well, that things are never the same if you have to take a step back. So I try to do enough planning to avoid room for error/failure.

Sweets prophetically stated, "things can't get much worse than they are now."

Hmm....touche'

Let me not paint the picture that things are dire, but in my own realm, I can see 30 over the horizons and I'm not ready. I remember just a few years ago still having the disillusionment of what I would accomplish in my 20s. Now my 20s just feel like a continuation of my teens. It feels like I'm reliving the not so great middle school years where you spent most of your time confused and uncertain.

So what would I like to accomplish by 30?

1. Engaged, if not married
2. Living in a metro area
3. Financial stability

When you type those things it seems easy enough. So why have I spent the first 6 yrs of my 20s floundering?

I'm sure this list will change/grow. I am pleased to have at least started it. We'll see how this goes.

Oh yea.....and as for my more immediate plans. Moving...anywhere. Finding more job stability (sigh good luck with that one).

Also, in honor of my confusing 20s, I've found a new blog to read.

Date Night

Yesterday was rough for me. I do not like it when my tech toys are not working. The computer situation is still sketch, however, I've decided to focus on some other things for the time being. Thankfully, last night got significantly better with a well-timed date night with sweets. Sushi, drinks, and a movie that I've been anxious to see for awhile, put things back in perspective.

Taken was great...although Mr. Neeson is a strong 2,456 years old. It's fine, I still adore him. It was raining when we got out of the movie, which made me smile ( I LOVE the rain). We ended up at our coffee haven and made the barista's night by acting a silly the entire time we were there.

The night ended with a shoulder shimmy/dani wiggle/spirit finger/body roll dance sequence while we drove home and passed out.

So...while my first post yesterday was less than savory, I'm happy to report that the night ended much better.

Have a good morning :)

Today is not the day....

I'm not chatty today. I'm not pleasant. I'm not lovable. I'm not having it.....

I opened my browser last night to view a link and that was all she wrote. My safari, mail, itunes, iphoto....won't open. Luckily, I still have firefox.

I'm not pleased at all. We will retry pleasantries tomorrow.

Victory Is...

Victory is....Not having to clean sweet's place.

Victory is....Not having to do his laundry.

Victory is....Picking the RIGHT TEAM!

Victory is....watching sweets wash and wax my car, while singing me a song.

Victory is.....knowing my car's interior will be pristine.

Victory is.....GLORIOUS :)

Lackluster at best....

So the fun in watching a game happens when its not a blow out....this game has gotten decidedly less exciting.....I mean, my team is still winning...but the fun has diminished.

It's Go Time.....

Yep....Go Steelers!!!!! It's bet time and Sweets has a car wash and wax for me when I win. :)

Gotta Love love :)
