Still feeling a weee bit stressy but I'll get over it someday!

perfect star in my frozen cherry

My early vee-day treats. I ate two of them (red velv and strawberry) and brought the chocolate-frosted one back for VV.

The whole week and weekend before Valentine's was crazy busy with work stuff and even after we got home after dinner (Capital Grille in Costa Mesa) we both still had work to do. Though...we did make a detour into Sephora (it was right there and I had a gift card!) only to discover they no longer carry Shiseido makeup products in-store (WHAT THE WHAT).

You can sort of see our crème brûlée in this photo, though. You can also see that I didn't even bother to put down my spoon when the waiter came around with a camera. Oink oink.

afternoon snack. vv brought a soda for me because i was totally wiped out that morning

me: But I got my egg slicer! dan: @evilmidori a knife? BUTTHEAD. i love my egg slicer.

vv waiting for me since i'm in a perpetual state of not being able to get my shit together

back here again, this time for a birthday brunch for one of vv's friends

not my food but man did it look good

vv's "vietmanese-style" meatloaf, whatever that means. i think he said there was noodle in it.

VV was sick all Monday but he's better now! But now we have leftover chicken noodle soup and orange juice.

I need a change of scenery but am unable to make that happen right now.

Why oh why pie in your eye

because piggy always makes me happy

Haven't really updated because we've been really busy. It's been a pretty stressful week and as anyone who had to endure me in college around finals/midterms/close to any test, quiz or due date (i.e. PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME (and I wonder why I only have 6.251 friends (might even be down to 5.934 now))) knows that I'm completely insufferable when stressed (sorry guys) in my snappishness and general abject misery. In short, it's probably good I haven't been updating lately because it'd be a total downer and be thankful you don't have to live or work with me (in other words be thankful that you're not VV because he has to do both (POOR VV)).

So is everyone ready for Valentine's? Today I got to decorate cupcakes (I already ate two of them let's see if the last one makes it back home to VV as intended) and tomorrow we're going to dinner. I'm kind of meh about Valentine's day and never really expect anything for myself really but I enjoy any excuse to go out to a nice restaurant during the week.

The other night I dreamed I was smoking pot out of a clear glass pipe with a pink swirl through it (kind of like the swirl in a cat's eye marble) which is weird because a) I would probably never get a pink pipe and b) I DON'T SMOKE POT. Which of course means I have no idea what being stoned feels like so my subconscious decided that stoned == the way it feels when I take a strong antihistamine (LAME) and that when I look in bathroom mirrors my reflection will move independently of me (CREEPY). I spent the last few seconds of my dream cowering by the toilet because I was too afraid to walk past the mirror.

Next couple of days might be really busy but I have lots of photos to update with so STAY TUNED.

☸ <--did you know that there's a wheel of dharma unicode symbol? me neither.

This week = crap

Red red wine stay close to me

I forgot I had a webcam. The first time I used it was by accident. This time was on purpose. My hair is sort of awesome today.

I'm sneezing my brain out of my head.

Machete is gangsta.

Almost time to go.

(Yesterday night)

(totally unrelated to the pictures, by the way)

me: mouths are weird. they're like portals to your insides.
vv: like bums!
me: but...you're not really supposed to put stuff in your bum.
vv: except for GI Joes!
