Well, I got my Valentine present. Was it wrapped nicely with a pretty bow? No. Was it given to me by candle light with soft music playing in the background. No. Was it romantic? Not by traditional standards maybe, but I am over the moon... Apparently, every once in awhile, my ramblings are heard and acted on (who knew?!) Bernard got me a Garmin watch! It tracks distance, pace, heart rate, and calories burned, and keeps a record of each training session. So excited! Of course, it’s still waaaay too cold and dark to actual run out doors so I’ll have to wait a few weeks before I try it out, but so eager and so touched by the thoughtful present. Romance is dead. Long live romance!!
By the way, I bought Bernard a shirt which of course doesn’t fit, so I get to return it and buy something nice for myself instead... :-)
After a crap week in work, the only thing I wanted to do tonight was sit back with a glass (yes, of course I actually mean 'bottle') of wine and watch the next episode of Homeland... (have pretty much given up on tv and have been watching Netflix / box set dvds - which means an absolute addiction to a particular show and non stop watching it until there’s no more and I feel like my best friend has died - Dexter Morgan, Jessie Pinkman of Breaking Bad, John Bates of Downtown Abbey, now Homeland....) The last thing I wanted was a text saying there was football training for the boys tonight. Of course a discussion with Bernard over who would bring them was considered moot once he realised that I had (in retrospect, stupidly) bought 24 cans of Heineken (not stupid that I bought it, the slab was only €33, stupid that I told him, because once he knew they were in the fridge there wasn’t a hope in hell Bernard was leaving the kitchen tonight). So I got to drive for 20 mins, stand in the cold for an hour, then drive 20 minutes home - on a Friday night. These things should not be allowed and should be termed as parental abuse. Anyway, home again, kids put to bed in lightning speed, and wine has been poured... The weekend has officially begun!!
