V-Day, Postponed

So, Valentine's Day was a bust. Mike and I had plans to visit our favorite restaurant, Cantone's. That plan was destroyed by about 80 evil 14 year-olds. They are seriously evil. I don't want to get into details, but let's just say it was a day so bad I was contemplating gnawing my own foot off so I'd have an excuse to leave and go home early. I still have two feet, though, which means I suffered through the entire day. And I do mean suffer. And then after the day was over, I spent about an hour and a half in what was supposed to be a "fifteen minute meeting". Then I had to go back to my room and figure out how I was going to rearrange my seating charts for the next day, when all the students were named "Satan", "Lucifer" or "Beelzabub". It gets confusing. Anyway... it was a long day, and I got home waaaaay late. So I was all funky and gross with kid germs, and wasn't gonna have time to shower and get myself cleaned up before our date. Then Mike got home and couldn't stop raving about the horrible day he'd had. Apparently some schlo-mo at the office who's a big screw up and a jerk made a big scene and threatened to quit if he didn't get a raise. So, this big screw up gets a raise! Just like that! Mike had to wait FOR MONTHS to get a promotion and a raise that he DESERVED!! He had just about EVERYBODY in his corner backing him, and at one point the state said that HE WOULD NOT get the promotion and he had to fight so hard for a promotion to a job he was already doing!! Grrrr... so he was livid that this guy got what he wanted just by throwing a temper tantrum. Mike said he was about ready to throw the guy out the window. So we were both in great moods, very romantic, huh? That said, we decided that maybe we should skip Cantone's (I know, I can't believe those words came out of my mouth) and just order in and have dinner on the living room coffee table in our sweats watching re-runs of Seinfeld. So that we did. We decided to postpone Valentine's day until Saturday, and just eat pizza and wings instead.

Sooooo Saturday came and I got my Valentine's present! Mike and I installed my new faucet! Our old one was ugly, gross, and leaking, so I requested a new pretty one! And I got it! And it works! And it's sexy! It gave us some problems, but we had fun installing it together!! It turned out to be a great day, much better than Thursday! And so my four-part gift was complete. Part 1 was the ipod, part two the faucet, part three installing the faucet, and I can't tell you what part 4 was. Use your imagination.

Anyway, we still haven't made it to Cantone's, because they were booked all through the weekend. But we still have our gift certificate from ma and pa Sage, so we can go at just about any time!!
