It smells like a cold day at the Island. I can almost smell the bay... the cars are the motor boats rushing by; the tin boats racing to the best fishing spots... The breeze propels the flouncy, white sails on the sailboats in the distance, whisking them across the water, mirroring the billowing clouds that race in the sky.

I miss it.

(I dreamt about the Island, but it was a dark, dark dream. One that I didn't enjoy at all. Stormy and tumultuous - frightening, really)

Yay for valentines day...

Two weeks late ^_^ Jon and I finally got to go out! We got dressed to the nines, and went to this wonderful little restaurant called Mealey's. I ate the better part of a four-course meal- ooohhh tummy was so full, but it was all sooo good. Baked brie in puff pastry (covered in honey and almonds!) as an appetizer (it came with grapes, too, yum!), then a salad with the house dressing - a honey vinagrette I believe - followed by the main course: Surf and turf, a filet mignon and a crab cake, with baked potato and green beans. The filet was so tender and yummy, and the crab cake had huge pieces of crab in it. They both tasted excellent! And, of course, I had to have dessert (I made Jon promise! :-P), so I had some Chocolate Rum cake, which honestly didn't taste like it had any rum flavoring in it, but still tasted oh so rich and wonderful (I also had a latte, which was excellent! And it came with a crystallized sugar stick!). It was such a yummy evening. We were one of the last ones to leave the restaurant; we were there for about 2 hours ^_^ It was nice just to relax and converse with my love, and eat some REALLY good food. Yummmmmmy!

On another note- it smells like spring! The breeze coming in my window is so fresh and new. It smells full of expectation! I'm really looking forward to warm weather :)

My room is clean - I cleaned it for yesterday - but only superficially. IE: stuff is stuffed under my bed, in drawers, in the closet, and anywhere else I can hide things... O:) I need to declutter when spring break comes (ie: take useless stuff home). We'll see if that happens. Maybe Jon will help...

Bid Day and weekend

YAY! Tomorrow (er, today) is Bid Day! We get to go out and sing our hearts out and get our new girls :) Unfortunately, exec then has to leave for Leadership Conference that evening! So we miss out on Bid Day weekend. Ohhh well. BUT it's going to be SO much fun!! I'm so excited...

We are the Phi Mus, we are the best/We are the girls that top all the rest!

I'm kinda hungry right now... dunno why.

The semester has been going really great.

I want my digicam back... Jon has it b/c they took pictures of their potentials with it :
I need to pack and clean my room (again!).

I gave Jon his v-day gift today! He loved it! :) It was a Stephen Lynch CD. Hehehehe!

Okay, no real content to this post... just inane babbling. Sometimes I feel like I would be a complete nerd if I tried to be poetic. So that's why I'm not. Oh well.

Yay!

My boy finally came home yesterday... I was cleaning my room and he walked in (I was so surprised- he had said that he'd call when he landed at the airport and I hadn't received a call yet)... definitely ran (the two feet) and jumped on him and hugged him. My heart lifted right at that moment, to see, hear, and smell him. Oh, how nice it was!

He insisted on giving me my valentine's day gift last night- I didn't want him to, because I didn't have much to give him (yet), but he finally convinced me. Can I tell you how surprised I was when (animal activists don't read this :P) he gave me a beautiful fur coat!It's calf length... very nice... I'm going to wear it tomorrow night when we go out and celebrate Valentine's Day. Hee hee! Not quite sure where to put it, though. It can't be touching other fabric... From what I know from mom, though, I think I could get a paper cover for it. We'll see. Oh, and I gave him a mug from starbucks that says 'Amore.' on it, with a cute heart handle. Mom gave me a pink one, and a red one for me to give to him.

The weather has been so topsy-turvy lately. I never thought I'd say this, but I could use some warmer weather ... get to wear sexy outfits without freeeeezing my patookus off. (although I have my fur now to keep me warm! ;P)

I feel so much more on top of things when my room is clean... I feel organized and able. I'm going to try and keep it that way, just for my own, mental, sake. Sometimes I wonder if I'm borderline o/c, or if I'm just anal. Who knows...

Hmm.

Well.

I'm not really sure what to say. I'm getting a little tired... and tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I don't understand why some people really hate V-day. I mean, even when I didn't have a sig. other, I just found it fun to get stuff from my parents and do stuff for them (one year, I dressed up like cupid. It was funny. no, you can't see pictures). The only thing that bums me out is that Jon is up in Boston, and I am down here. Makes getting together on V-day a little difficult... I'm going to open his card when I wake up, and also the cards from my parents... my mom gave me a box of chocolates, too :)

I need to do laundry. Slowly the supply of underwear is dwindling.

I hope I'm not as bored tomorrow night as I was this past night. Meh.

I am the most uninteresting person ever.

Righto. Long time, no post!

Amazing how going to classes, meetings, and playing Sonic can cut down on your blogging time.

I'm doing well in my classes; Culture of Lat. America seems like it will be very time consuming. Lot's of reading and outside class activities to do... why?? Meh. World o' Light and Color is interesting - I'm such a nerd! I like physics types of stuff, plus the class just flies by. Information Age was a little hard to get going in (it's my online class), but I think I'm getting the swing of things.

Cardio Kick... wow, that's an intense class. I'm sore today from monday, and now this mornings class, too! But I am having fun, and I'm glad I'm working out. I kinda wished that the class lasted the whole semester, because I think it would be good for me. Maybe I'll check into something like that at the YMCA or something (note: I probably won't). Of course, by the time it's over, It should be warming up enough so that I can go running again... I really rather enjoy running. Oooh! And I'm excited because today in class we did an ab exercise that doesn't hurt my back! I was so psyched. So now I'll be able to work on my abs some more :) Wow, don't I sound like a fitness freak...

I have all my class stuff together, but everything else is kind of slipping out. I need to sit down and really fill out my calendar to the fullest with all my Phi Mu meetings (etc) and other stuff. Meh! I missed selling choc. roses today because I plumb forgot - but I promise to be there the next 4 days that I'm doing it! I just need to start USING the planner that I write everything in. SLOWLY I'm becoming more organized with my life. So far it's taken 10 years just to find these methods of organization. Damn.
