tales of an ordinary girl

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I hope today is filled with thoughts of those you love and that it's a wonderful one at that.

Matt got sent out of town this morning by his company. They gave him some notice this time -- they told him Monday evening. So I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing tonight. I'll probably stop at the grocery store on the way home and make myself dinner.

He felt bad about it. It's not his fault. And I know he felt bad because he knew I was looking forward to it. But it's not a big deal if we celebrate today or tomorrow or Friday or not at all. The thing I like about Valentine's Day is that I get to look forward to doing something special for him and look forward to being surprised by him. It's like another birthday for the both of us, I guess.

The only bad thing really is that he doesn't know when he'll be back. By the weekend, I'm sure. Everyone here has plans with their husband or wife tonight. I don't begrudge it, I just don't feel all that sunshiney today. I guess it all just makes me feel a little lonely about tonight. Blah, now I'm getting depressed.

My car is in the shop. There's a problem with the elecronic control module. Yeah, whatever that is. They don't have the part for it in. I'm going to pick it up and drive it until they are able to fix it. Hopefully it'll be ok. It won't damage the car. It'll just stop being able to accelerate if the voltage generated is too low. Or something like that.

The good news is that it's covered by the warranty, so it'll get fixed for free. And I was also able to get some maintenance items worked on while I had it there today.

This weekend the weather is supposed to finally get a little warmer and stay that way. Hello 50's! Maybe it'll even be warm for my birthday.
