Betcha Didn't Know...

I'm feeling quite random today. Part of it is because I'm tired and the other part is...well, just me. ;-) For your reading pleasure today, I'm treating you to a list of what I like to call "Fun Facts" about me. Enjoy. =)

❊ I drink sweet tea by the gallon. If there is a tea shortage in our house, beware!


❊ I like to be organized, but I hate filing things away. Instead, I organize them into a drawer.

❊ I love coffee, but I rarely drink it anymore.

❊ I'm a sucker for cute socks.

❊ I still make CDs to listen to in the car. Ours doesn't have the handy "Audio In" jack. *sigh* Also, Joe has my our iPod. {Which may or may not have bitten the dust. Literally.}

❊ I over analyze ev-er-ry-thing. Something stupid I did or said...an entire day's events. Someone else's motives, thoughts, actions... It's bad. Really bad.

❊ Before I met Joe, I hated wine. I'm slowly getting to the loving-it stage.

❊ I have known my bestie's husband longer than I have known my own.

❊ I'm a freakin' klutz. Walls, doorways, cracks in the sidewalk, random steps and the "little man" in the carpet are all out to get me. I have, indeed, fallen UP stairs. That, my friends, takes real talent.


❊ I sleep with a daddy doll tucked in on Joe's side of the bed. Yeah. I'm that girl.


❊ I really miss playing the piano. 


❊ I was never, ever, ever a partier. Not in high school or college. I have been drunk maybe twice...and still coherent enough to remember everything and form sentences.


❊ Chocolate is my weakness. Oh wait. I think you knew that already. ;-)


❊ Tulips are - by far - my favorite flower. They're just so happy and sweet! I've loved them as long as I can remember. Nana used to plant them in her garden when they lived in AR. I can remember drawing them - as part of Nana's garden - when I was little. This is why, when I got "my delivery" today, I was more than thrilled.

Eeeep! =D

The best part is...we had just talked about this last night. Well, he was frustrated about the situation and said he'd contacted another company, etc. I very discreetly (*wink, wink*) asked if I could have tulips. He replied with the typical "we'll see" and left it at that. Since he'd said "we'll see" last night, I thought "Oh my gosh?! Did he order them just because I asked?" Then I felt bad. (See? Over-analyzing.) And then, I looked at the card:

Epic, epic FAIL. He did tell me something was supposed to come on Saturday. I didn't believe him. So, my VDay gift was really 2 days late for VDay, but FOUR days later than it was supposed to be delivered. Joe was glad that I'd finally gotten them, but he's still not happy about it. I'm totally with him on this one. But, that means that he ordered me tulips without me asking for them!!!! Major, major points for the hubby. Oh, if he was home.... ;-) Hahaha! 

Being the lover of tulips that I am, I grabbed another vase, put water in it and took two tulips out of the larger vase. I think I need to be able to enjoy my flowers in more than one room. So, I put them in my bedroom on my night stand. =)

Now I have my happy flowers right where I can see them in the morning! I also have a very sweet card...but I'm thinking that's going to stay with just me. =) No need to make all of you ladies jealous. Haha! According to Joe, I also have one more surprise coming. Can't wait to see what it is!

Hope y'all enjoyed my randomness!

Post-VDay High

I went in to good 'ole VDay with a pretty good attitude! My hubby called me just after midnight while I was still in bed reading. It was definitely a surprise and those always make me happy. I also had the promise of "a delivery" later in the day. Joe had encouraged me to go shopping for an outfit at Charlotte Rousse, but I declined because I wanted to be home to get "my delivery."

I started the day with a workout (that's definitely a new one for me!) and shortly after, my mom called. I think she was just calling to make sure I wasn't in a deep, dark, depressing hole. I was cool. I had lunch, I showered and that's when things started going downhill. See, I was hoping "the delivery" would come earlyish so I could still go shopping. Well...since I'm not going on and on about how I got flowers yesterday, you can guess what happened. I ended up being home all day doing dishes, laundry and attempting other things...and getting nothing. Joe got online that night and I told him (he was upset too..just in a different way). To top everything off, he couldn't talk but for about 3 minutes. 

Best VDay ever, right? {sarcasm}

Later that night, a friend of mine popped into town! This in itself is extremely random given the fact that I live in the middle of an ocean. She works for an airline and randomly takes trips across the world. Anyway. She posted on FB that she was here and I commented, of course. We talked back and forth about getting together and finally decided on lunch today. Yay! I was so excited! I really haven't seen her in years, so it would be nice to see her. After a quick email to the museum curator letting her know I wouldn't be in, I decided on the next day's plan: Lunch with friend and then shopping! Doesn't get much better than that, right?!

I got up and around earlier this morning than I usually do. My friend and her, um, guy were planning on going to Pearl Harbor and then we were going to do lunch. Most people go early because you can't get tickets if you don't. I assumed early. I got ready. I sat. I waited. Nothing. Noon rolls around and I'm absolutely starving. People with hypoglycemia really can't wait until 1, 2 or 3 p.m. to eat lunch. After confirming my thoughts with Melissa, I ate lunch and then headed to the outlet mall.

Friend never called (but she did text around 4p.m. inviting me to dinner. I politely declined because of my Skype date with Joe. =)). But it was ok. I did some serious shopping! And only in one store! Would you like to see the loot!? What am I thinking? Of course you want to see it! ;-)

I SO love all the bows!!

This is my favorite, I think.

I love this one too, but it's not grey.

My camera sucks.

I also got these cute sandals!

Can't go wrong with those!

I was getting very excited about all of my clothes, until I saw this:

FAIL.

I don't know what to do about this. Should I attempt to remove it myself? Should I take it to another store close by to see if they could remove it? Or should I wait until Sunday - when I'm back in the area - and take it to Charlotte Russe? 

After calling my mom and hitting up the commissary for some much-needed food, I came home. As usual, I put the groceries away, brought in my cute clothes and took Jasper to get the mail. And what did I find in my teeny tiny mailbox?! This!

The package, not the phone silly readers. =P

I got a thrill out of seeing Edmond, OK on my package.

Home! =D Well, OK is home. Not Edmond.

Lookie what I got!!!! 

Protection for my precious iPhone!

Tada!

This thing was a pain in the BUTT to get on!

But (haha) it looks cute and keeps my phone safe from all my klutziness.

The back. I *heart* being able to see the Apple.

I also got this...contraption.

I was terrified that it was part of the cover and not an extra part.

How hideous would that have been!?

I have to say this is the first time I've had such a great day after a really crappy VDay. I still haven't gotten "a delivery," but I think the hubby is more upset about that than I am. He's supposedly working something out to make it up to me. Belated VDay gifts through out the week? Yes, please! ;-)

I hope y'all enjoyed the VDay blog swap yesterday! Thanks again to Wife on the Roller Coaster for hosting! And if you missed my post, you can go here to check it out.
