We were supposed to go to Calgary this weekend to visit old friends but we’ve just learned the hubby has to work *sigh* Now I have no excuse not to work my tail off and finish my history and psych papers with time to spare (they’re due Monday).

On the bright side it’s the silly Hallmark holiday again today and we’ve decided NOT to participate in the grand purchasing program. Rather than spending the recommended *cough* $300+ on presents for each other because we’ve been together longer than 6 months, we’re going to cuddle on the couch after I do some more reading and prep work for my papers.

Love doesn’t need stinkin’ cards and chocolate flavoured calories. However, a nice dinner at home never hurts…

My mother-in-law will understand this; not sure about anyone else.

The “thing” I was ordered to take down cause I supposedly “talked out of school” ended up being a non-issue. Since Drew didn’t read the blog entry, he didn’t know what it actually contained. A few hours after it was removed, he asks about the content. I told him and his response was “oh, well that was alright then. You could have left that up”.

Ummm, no – not after you had a minor freaking panic attack and I got the big lecture I couldn’t.

Welcome to my world.

*sigh*

Drew is home. He arrived just after 1am on Thursday morning and we’ve been spending the day doing the usual “getting to know you” things again. Sure, he was only gone a month and we’re used to much longer separations but usually I’m the one that’s returning home – not him.

As exhausted from travel as I was a year ago, I’m just itching to travel again soon. Since there’s no travel in my new job I guess I’ll have to save all my pennies and try to fit a vacation in there somewhere.

While he was away I asked Drew to look for new PJ’s for me. My current winter ones were on their last legs – the flannel has nearly worn through – and I thought he might find something on sale while he was state-side. Not only did he shop and find PJ’s I’d happily wear in winter but he also didn’t try to sneak in some see through contraption 😉

I was so proud of him until I unwrapped the package. In his wanders to find me the perfect PJ’s, he didn’t double-check the size tags. So, now I’m the proud owner of a small (6-8, which I’m not) set of cat PJ’s that would have been perfect for the chilly nights of spring and fall and an XXL (22-24) pair of red flannels. By checking the size chart on the tags, a L would have been perfect! He also managed to pick up a “remove before flight” sleepshirt from the base PX in a one size fits all that looks like it’s more than roomy enough.

He did pick up a nice brown and white skirt in the perfect size so not all is lost.

On the other hand, we can probably fit the both of us in the XXL jammies. That might be fun to try.

The hubby arrives home tonight. Sometime close to midnight. My boss has signed off on a nice 4 day weekend so we can spend some time together – and I can make sure my homework is completed on time 😉

I’m off to do the mad dash fluff and stuff routine on the house.

I was listening to the morning show on the ride into work today and they were talking about the worst gifts you could give your wife/girlfriend for v-tines day (or anytime really). Of course someone calls in and mentions a vaccuum cleaner. Me, I got a vaccuum for my first Christmas with Drew and was thrilled wiht it. To me, it was a thoughtful and much needed gift. Then again, I’ve been known to fill Drew’s present boxes with socks and underwear cause he asked for them. It takes all kinds I guess.
