Join me won't you as I recap my roller coaster of a day....ready? Hold on. I'm warning you.....
I wake up and I am FINALLY allowed to open my Valentine's Day card that John left for me several days earlier. It was so sweet that not only did he remember Valentine's Day, but he had the forethought to get me a card ahead of time so that I had it for this morning was super sweet! I get to work, ready for my weigh in..... 2 more pounds down! WOO! A few hours later, I head to the office, and I'm told that the beautiful daisies (wedding flowers!) are for me! Awww I have the best fiance ever!!!!! My day is still heading in the right direction. I decided at that point that since John is away, I am going to surprise him with dinner when he gets back to his hotel. I figure out where he is staying, and order a heart-shaped pizza (I'm a nerd, I know), wings, and dessert and set it to have it delivered when he should be arriving back at his hotel. I giggle at my ingenious. I make it through most of the day, and finally it's time for our party. The volunteer parents start showing up and putting out the food. Lots. of. sugar. and. chocolate. And I want it. ALL. And I ignore it. ALL. I pretended to be happy with my cucumbers, broccoli, and mini tomatoes. Wahoo.... party......My students are getting more and more obnoxious thanks to a situation that I am not at liberty to discuss on the internet..... but it pisses me off. A lot. After being SO good during the party, I scarf down 2 pieces of chocolate. Dammit. 150 calories because I was annoyed. Shortly after, I finish tallying the results of the BL game. At the midpoint, I am in 3rd place out of 21! YAY! Of course that means I win NOTHING, but we still have 5 more weeks so we'll see what happens...... Anyway, as I'm heading home from work, John calls me to tell me they are done with work and are heading to the hotel early. Crap. I call the pizza place and beg them to change the time. They said they will. Then John tells me they are going out to dinner. CRAP. I'm torn. Do I tell him about the dinner surprise? Or do I try to stall him and hope the pizza beats him out the door? I opt for option 2. I was wrong. He leaves for dinner not knowing that he has dinner on its way. Through texts, I eventually tell him what's going on. I was SO upset that my plan backfired, that I was literally on the bike at the gym, crying. What an ass I must have looked like. After 60 minutes of cardio, because realistically, I was pissed, I talked to a personal trainer. I start tomorrow! I finally headed out for dinner of my own and went to Qdoba (secret diet food!) On my way home, I decided that working out wasn't enough to get rid of my anger so I went to McDonald's for some dessert for me and my valentine-my puppy Molly. Of course, since ice cream melts, I just HAD to eat it first. I mean afterall, dessert is the most important meal of the day right? RIGHT? <crickets>........
And that my friends was my day. Feel free to barf from the crazy ride at any time.Oh, and PS- Happy Valentine's Day!
