Black Tuesday.

Better known as February 14th. As of 30 minutes ago it is no longer Valentine's Day. Thank goodness. I think this day is gross, and sappy, and cliche, and really just makes me wanna not leave my bed and pretend we can just skip right on over Feb 14th on the calendar. Because no one wants to see you making out in the hallways or carrying around a bouquet of flowers that you probably bought yourself anyway. And okay, ya you're thinking I'm the typical bitter single cat lady. Which, I mean, I am....but I don't even like this holiday when I'm in LoOoOoOve. Because really just think about it. If you love, or like, or even just kinda tolerate someone, you should feel that way about them 365 days of the year. Not one day full of roses and chocolate and teddy bears and glitter. Sorry for being a cynic. Except I'm not really that sorry. 

My lovely friends. 

This year, my cynical love-hating self was proven quite wrong because I had quite the lovely Black Tuesday. Actually, a quite lovely Valentines-y weekend. Which began with my Valentine coming to visit me from Austin, Texas :) Cheryl is the most kind hearted, beautiful person you will EVER come across in this world and I was lucky enough for her to be my Valentine this year! She came to spend the weekend with me and we had ourselves quite the girls weekend. She even brought me treats :) what kind of boy treats you like that? Answer: none even as remotely pretty as this girl! Cheryl always compliments me on my bloggy so I thought she'd be happy to have a shout-out....LOVE YOU! We had a few girls nights out, and watched some movies. Mostly just snuggled. Which was perfect. 

Ranch Crust? OMG.

And ya know what? Today didn't suck either. It was a beautiful day. I got the sweetest care package from my parents, my quizzes were all cancelled and MY FLIES HAD BABIES. I know, y'all, try to contain your excitement. My mutated flies in the genetics lab had larvae. I'm a proud mama. If that's not enough to make your day, well then I don't know what is. Then, when I got home my wonderful roomie Tara and I had a romantic pizza dinner :)

Care package from Momma.
Books + Coffee - my 2 favorite things.

And I mean, what better place for a cynic to spend Valentine's evening than in the Emergency Room? It was such a busy night it flew by, and I even got to see some cool stuff. No broken bones, though (my favorite). 

Even though I probably consumed 8 times the calories I've allotted myself daily in order to look like Anne V (swimsuit model, but more importantly girlfriend to Adam Levine) for my roomie Courtney's wedding in June, I'd say today was a success. 

One of my best friends sent me this today...she must know me pretty well because it absolutely melted my heart. Old people. They are precious. And this picture made me cry! On Valentine's Day of all days. He's picking out a card for his wife!!!! And he's so old and precious!!!!!! 

So I guess I totally embraced the mush this year and truly celebrated the people that I LOVE. Womp. 

Yes, yes you are Ronald. (Sorry...I mean, what's a good day without
Harry Potter? Not a good day, obviously.)
