I got a toothache. And then later that day, I got a root canal from the dentist. It just shows how much he cares. ---

I got Valentine’s Day early this year, since my boyfriend came home from the military base on Thursday. Extended leave, I luv ya. On Friday, I got to pick him up downtown at 2:30 am; he had been drinking with his army friends. Didn’t really care, I still got sex both nights. 😃 ---

The day before a girl told me she liked me and there was some kissing involved but then today she told me she was just out of a long term relationship and didn’t want to lead me on. Nothing to do with Valentines day I guess, just an anecdote of sorts. ---

I got a big box of cat litter and my foot slammed in the truck door. Envy me! Although if I think about it, the litter really wasn’t for me. _sigh_ ---
