i’m so sorry i didn’t see this before–Brian was the one who told me. my current tenant, Divine Calm, is a BUCKEYE!!! just like Brian and me. you must, must, MUST visit her. 
Go Bucks!
i received neither roses nor a Star Wars LEGO set from Brian yesterday for Valentine’s Day. instead, he bought red and green bricks from the LEGO store and created roses out of LEGOs to give me. i absolutely love them!!! he always knows just the right thing to say or do. 
if you guys thought i was freaky because i pop my cats’ blackheads, well my current tenant, Divine Calm does the same thing–to her dogs, however. i didn’t even know dogs could get blocked pores. Divine works in politics, and was also an RA in college. maybe that led to her work in politics? she takes beautiful photographs and has 2 good-looking dogs, Winston and Murphy, and a good-looking boyfriend, as well. 
how can you not like a guy who buys clothes for your furbabies? please give a warm welcome to Divine Calm!
Brian called me from work yesterday morning. this is pretty much how the conversation went:
Brian: So, what do you want to do tomorrow?
Me: Tomorrow?
Brian: Yeah.
Me: Oh! It’s Valentine’s Day.
Brian: Yeah.
Me: Do you really care about Valentine’s Day?
Brian: Not really.
Me: Good. Neither do I.
Valentines schmalentines. this day was a lot more important to me when Brian and i first started dating. now that we’ve been together for over 6 years, it just isn’t a priority. do other married couples or people in long-term relationships feel this way? i mean, we’re secure about where each of us stands in the other’s life, so there doesn’t seem to be any reason to exchange gifts to prove it.
i don’t dislike flowers–in fact i love fresh flowers. the problem is, so do the cats. a couple of weeks ago i told Brian that if he plans on buying me flowers, he would do better buying me a Star Wars LEGO set, instead.
at any rate, we’re going to watch tonight’s episode of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, and have pot roast slow-cooked (read: crock pot) with giardiniera peppers and a merlot for dinner. the merlot will be served in coffee mugs. i’m not even sure that we own wine glasses, and the regular glasses are all boxed up because we drink out of pop cans and bottles of water. the cats drink from our glasses when we aren’t looking. maybe it sounds ridiculous to other people, but this scenario clearly states: Brian and Barb.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
since this is a meme, i’m first going to discuss The Three Meme i did a couple of weeks ago. two truths and a lie. the lie: i don’t wear dentures. Frodo had an excellent point when he said that because i played hockey, it’s very possible that i may be missing some of my real teeth. nope. they’re all there. i do, however, type 100wpm with few (2%) errors according to a test i took at a temp agency. the number may have gone down, but probably not by much. i can’t take dictation, but i can type it. finally, i always, always put my left sock and shoe on first. don’t know why, other than an irrational belief that if i put my right sock/shoe on first, something bad will happen that day.
the Mania Meme is one that Joel created and here are the rules:
Rules for the meme: First, you must be bipolar or schizoaffective. Second, simply make a list of your signs that you are in mania. Third, tag up to five people to keep the meme going.
it’s been over a year since i’ve had even a short hypomanic episode, so it’s almost hard to remember, but here they are:
i’m tagging bp_hockey_chick, Marie, Moody, and bLitch.
