Happy Valentine's Day

Today is February 14, Valentine's Day. I cannot say that this is a day I miss being home because of some romantic annual event I inevitably will be missing out on. I miss being home on days like this when I know my mom does cute stuff around the house and makes things really special. OK enough with the sad stuff. I am so excited to get home, but I know I have a lot more to learn here. And I continue to feel more and more comfortable, which may or may not be a good thing. 

I know I probably think about this a little bit too much, but I am going to need a mammoth sized makeover when I get back in April. I will look like someone who has not had a haircut since August and who has been wearing and rewearing the same grungy clothes. Oh, wait, I have done that. Yuck. If I can just vent a little bit. I cannot wait to get back and meet the new puppy (Boo), wear my other clothes and buy some new ones, go on hikes with mama, visit the friends at ND, scope out the new car, enjoy warm Carolina nights on the deck and finally live in Chicago for the summer. OK I know I cannot dwell like this for too long.

I am staying here in Toledo this weekend 1) because my friends are going to Dublin, where I have been, 2) because I have some work to get done which probably will not even happen 3) because I am giving the bank account a rest and 4) because I am giving my poor body a rest. Even though it's not exactly so, I feel like I have been going a million miles an hour and I need some rest to appreciate everything. Alright gotta run. Spending the day with Jani and Ricky. She is so into holidays so I think today she will pull all the stops out.
