OMG almost March

hey there, february sure is a short month, it's already going to be march. i guess easter is right around the corner because this past wednesday was ash wednesday. not that it means anything to me, but i'm just waiting for easter to come because mary and the family will be in town. hopefully i'll be able to see them because she's bringing alyssa and a few of her friends to fiesta texas for alyssa's 15th bday instead of a quincianera. about time they thought outside the box and opted out of an outdated celebration.

dad's bday is coming up in august, he turns 70 so we might do something big for him. at least we'll go visit.

we had spring like weather around here this week and today we woke up to cold and windy. that's texas weather for you.

found out that people were let go at the san antonio express news this week. i hope newspapers don't become obsolete one of these days. i'm still the old fashioned type that likes to hold an actual paper newspaper. i get home at the end of a long hard day at work and retire to the living room with it. i lie down on the couch and catch up with the day's news. i hope that never changes. i still like to surf the internet, but it's not the same.

Happy Valentine's Day

Okay, so maybe we don't really celebrate valentine's day around here, but most people do. We acknowledge it but we don't go all out. The way we see it is that we don't need anyone to tell us when our special day is. We have our anniversay coming up in april, that's when we celebrate our love. But since i'm not a total stick in the mud: i made some valentine's day cookies and took them to work yesterday in the spirit of the celebration of friendship. Gotta love that.

Finally took Maggie to the vet today. we had to drop her off and pick her up later because one of the vaccines she needed cause a reaction the first time she got it. So they had to admit her and give her some benadryl to prevent any swelling and they kept her for observation. We had to take her to the banfield over on sw loop 410 since they already have her records there and we're still paying on the wellness plan. After this time, we might take her somewhere else because this place is a little out of our way. we'll see.

went to see the move PUSH today, about these people with abilities running from an organization out to get them (of course). it was alright, nothing too exciting, a couple of cool moments.....it was okay.

got an email from the folks over at the olive garden that they received my comments and apologize for our unpleasant experience and will be sending us a comp meal card. Last weekend we tried to have a nice lunch there after shopping at the ingram park mall. we didn't want to eat alot so we just ordered a soup and the sob waiter gave us an "is that all you're ordering?" look that downright pissed us off. that really soured our experience but didn't want to say anything right then and there because we were still mad so the next day i emailed them.

received my assingment back and the next one is due on march 11 so i better start working on that.

Here comes Februray

well, it was inevitable, have to go back to work tomorrow after taking a week off. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

Yesterday was my birthday and it was fun.

Spent the day w/my honey and we spent it shopping, eating and going to the movies. Watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I thought it was pretty good but was taken aback when the lead female role was killed. Her father busted her and found out she was having a thing with the wolf guy and had her killed. She was pregnant w/the guy's baby. That was a prequel so at the end they show the other girl that came out at the beginning of the 1st underworld movie, still trying to figure that out. Anyways, went out a bought some stuff, a couple of pairs of earrings and a locket. Ate some cake and went out for dinner at Johnny Carinos. At first we tried the Olive Garden but it was way past full of people waiting in line so we opted for the other place. Wasn't too long of a wait. It was also Maggie's 3rd bday so we celebrated that too. Not sure what day exactly in January but that's okay.

Got alot of stuff done this week but i never actually got around to starting the next assingment and yesterday i got the last one already. What i did was put it away and i won't look at it for another few day, it always makes me nervous when i get my graded assignment back. But i'm almost done w/the course, just maybe three more months to go so we'll see what happens after that. I need to get the new edition of the writers market since it's the updated one.

You know, for february it's kinda freaky to see the sunshine outside my window. It's usually cold and raining especially since my bday is always dreary outside but yesterday was nice. didn't even need a jacket.
