Hello all... I hope everyone had a marvelous Valentine's Day with their loved ones. I had quite the interesting one to say the least... going to try to make a long story short here so bare with me. So Thursday, Valentine's Day, I sit at work all day anxiously awaiting what presents I might be getting. When no flowers or anything came to work I drove home knowing that something would be waiting at the house for me. However, I came home to a gift-less house. That morning, I left Brian a basket full of Valentine's stuff so he'd have it when he came home for work (he got off at 2PM because he had class that night). So I figured surely he'd leave me something but nope. NOTHING. Now, take into consideration that it was that special time of the month for me, and you can just imagine how upset I was. I balled the entire night until he got home. He apologized a million times for not getting me anything, and I'm still not too sure why he didn't, but needless to say he was not on my good list that night or the following day. I was just really hurt that it was our FIRST Valentine's as a married couple and I got nothing. It's not like he had to spend a lot of money or anything... a card/note, flowers, anything you know? Also, all I've done for the past MONTH is talk about Valentine's Day... hence my blog posts about how much I LOVE Vday...
So Friday comes around and I'm still hurt... at work I can't think about much else and when I get off and head home I'm not sure what to expect. He did end up getting me flowers... said they were an apologee and that he'd find a way to make it up to me. I know he's really sorry... you could tell that just by looking at him, but we won't have Valentine's Day again for another year and it won't be our first one...
Saturday we went downtown to the Hyatt like we had planned... we really did have a great time, but the whole time I'm kinda just waiting for SOMETHING to show me that he's really sorry and he's trying to make it up to me but nothing out of the ordinary happened.
I really just need to come to terms with the fact that he is a GUY, and he always will be. He doesn't think like I do and he cannot read my mind. Why don't they realize that it's not about how much money they spend? All he would have to do is spend some time writing me a note or lighting some candles... ya know?
Ok I'm done venting. Everything is fine now, but NEXT Valentine's Day better be out of this world! ha!

aww carrie jo. you're too cute. i'm sorry valentines was a bummer...robert and i didn't do anything special either. something was "supposed" to come in the mail but it still hasn't shown up yet...hmmm, i think he's just buying time. silly boys, they'll never learn.
Carrie Jo...DONT feel bad!! The only reason we did ANYTHING was bc when Brian and I were dating, I told him that vday was my FAV and that the only requirement was that he had to place SOMETHING in my hands...a card, a flower from the front yard, a post-it saying i love you....ANYTHING! I'm not big on expensive gifts, but I AM big on acknowledging love day!! I guess since V-day will NEVER be cool to guys, girls just have to learn that if we want a special v-day, WE are in charge of informing them of the rules for the day hahaha. sad but true :)
I'm glad you had a fun weekend!!
this is a sad-vibe blog...so I think you should write a new, HAPPIER one!! :)
