LMAO at this! My Valentines' day is going to be spent hanging out with a variety of friends - including a very cute architect who recently has caught my eye, and we're going to hit all the hot spots and have one hell of a good time.

Also, ex-boyfriend is marrying his beloved Hagzilla on Saturday in America's Armpit. Awwwwwwww, isn't that sweet? And he's more concerned about me NOT attending the wedding than trying to find his unemployed ass a job so he can support said Hagzilla and her two boys, Walker and Texas Ranger...

(My friends and I are already placing wagers on when she's going to get a divorce lawyer. My bet is at the 8 month mark - and that's only because I'm feeling generous these days.)

Dan and I were going to go for a hike and have a picnic, but it's raining for like 2 weeks straight. We haven't really discussed a plan B yet. We're both pretty broke so...I really don't know.

I'm knitting him a hat! I really need to work on it today so I can finish it on time.

I've been bitter all week about vday (I've just seen lots of couples in the streets displaying exhuberant PDA-yuck!) But I'm ok with it now.

I'm going to an art gallery, then dinner then a spoken word slam. Its a perfect date, except its with a female coworker. And because were both awkward, I said I would dress up and make it more official.

I've got no awkward vday stories. Oh wait. Senior year of hs, I asked my math teacher to be my valentine. He said yes. And we were both serious, despite the law saying that kinda thing could get him fired.

This sounds so inappropriate.

On another note: I got flowers from my mom today!

HotDamnImAPhiMu · #14 02-14-2009, 04:39 PM

That's adorable! And so sweet!

Omg... I feel so terrible...

A little back story first...

My dad has been with the company he works with for 30+ years and as a result has a lot vacation time. Also, his position allows him to do a good portion of his work at home, away from work. My parents are starting to get close to retirement, ESPECIALLY my dad. Heck, the way I see it, his brain has already been there the past few years.

When my parents first got engaged, my dad took my mom to Puerto Rico to meet his parents and other family who were living there. Although my dad spent many of his summers as a kid in PR, he always thought he'd spend the rest of his life in Chicago. But after that first visit to Puerto Rico with my dad, my mom knew that someday she wanted to own a house there. My dad started to think that was a pretty good idea too.

In fall of '07 their dream came true and they bought a nice little home in Puerto Rico. Ever since then they've been making trips 2-4 times a year, enjoying the house, decorating, and making it feel like home.

As I mentioned before my dad has a lot of vacation time and doesn't have to be at the office to work. So January 30 he left for Puerto Rico and is planning on coming home Feb 24.

My mom doesn't quite have the flexibility he has, but was still able to take off for two weeks. She came back home on Thursday, while my dad is staying in Puerto Rico, with my parents good friends.

My mom was mentioning to me that she wished my dad was home with her today, it being Valentine's Day and all, but my mom's not a super sentimental person when it comes to things like that, so she really wasn't too upset.

Just a few minutes ago I get a call from my dad. He said Happy V-Day and all, and then out of nowhere he goes "I made a huge mistake" and just breaks down into tears! I was like "Dad whats wrong??" And he's all, "I can't believe I'm not with your mother today, I shouldn't have stayed longer with out her, I feel so terrible!" I had no idea what to say, I've never heard my dad like that!! I mean, my dad can be a very sentimental guy, (he cried when the White Sox won the World Series...I mean in his defense it was more so cause he wished HIS dad could have seen it, but still...hehe) but I never heard him so upset, I felt terrible! I told him it was okay, and suggested maybe he have flowers sent to our house or something. He composed himself after about 30 seconds, but I could tell he was still sad.

I called my mom after I got off the phone with him, and I was like... "Uh mom, have you talked to dad recently?" And she's like "A little while ago, why what's up?"...."Well, I just got off the phone with him, and he was really upset that he wasn't with you today, and well, he got a bit...emotional." My mom started to laugh, and said "Oh no! I guess I must have layed the guilt on him TOO well". Like I said before, my mom isn't the kind of person who gets hung up on Valentine's Day, but she aparently had been teasing my dad about it a little, and he didn't understand that she wasn't serious. She felt really bad after that.

Poor Dad. At least I know where I get my sensitive side from!!
