Valentine's Day, Owls, and Breaking Dawn..

Valentine's Day... 

Even the thought makes me shudder...

Maybe that is because for the past two, 

I have been totally and completely single...

I mean, yea. 

I ended my relationship after 3 and a half years...

I take full responsibility for that...

And I'm not complaining about it... 

I am perfectly happy being single...

But the thought of Valentine's Day...

Ewwwww. Commence the shuddering.

This year was better than last year...

Last year, the break up was still new... 

And that was a real bummer...

No flowers or cards... 

Kind of sucked really... 

But this year, I knew what to expect...

Yup. 

No flowers or cards... 

And no boyfriend...

Which I accepted...

I wasn't going to let it bum me out this year.

Tuesday was just a regular day...

I was late to American Literature class

(had some printer problems before class)...

Followed by Public Relations...

Where we took a few notes, talked about Hooters....

And I met with the teacher about the fundraiser...

Followed by Creative Writing...

It was a workshop day, so we tore classmates' stories to shreds... 

But we still got candy!!

And finally, Horror Films... 

Where I didn't pay attention 

and blogged happy birthday to Ben Graupner instead.

Drove home and chilled in front of the tv... 

See? Regular day... 

No presents or anything... 

And I was okay with it.

Flash forward to yesterday afternoon...

I was on my way home and got called to babysit... 

And since I am a poor college student, 

I gladly took the job... 

When I got to the house, 

the six year old was like,

"Come see!" 

So I followed her... 

And she handed me this... 

My little loves (ages 6 and 2) gave me a Valentine!! 

And I think that it was the best one... EVER! 

Getting the Valentine from the girls made my day... 

And maybe made me hate Valentine's Day a little less...

Maybe.

But in advance, not thinking I would get a Valentine...

I bought myself some presents... 

First off, the owl purse...

I have a new thing for owls as of lately...

Which is weird because I am usually a monkey lover...

But lately, it's owls... 

So. While waiting at Target for Breaking Dawn to be released...

My friend and I went shopping...

And I found this little guy and fell in love!!! 

He matches my wallet, which I already had... 

So I couldn't pass him up!!! 

I also snagged a really cute owl necklace,

which I don't have pictures of. 

And last but not least... 

Breaking Dawn. 

No explanation needed.

Ha. 

Peace and Love.
