Valentines Day is probably my least favorite holiday. Yesterday was that day and I realized why I hated this Hallmark holiday.

I almost have the worst day ever on Valentines Day.

I didn't get to sleep until five in the morning that night since my heater decided to see how hot it could go. When I threw open the window my closet door decided to keep opening and closing with the breeze that was trickling in the stifling hot room.

When I rolled out of bed to go to class I noticed I had a package from my mom. It's a tradition for my mother to give me and my brother something red on Valentines Day. Usually the gifts are quite good. I mean, she doesn't give me diamond earrings but she usually goes out and gets something pretty cool and funky. Last year I got an Alice and Wonderland t shirt with the Red Queen. So I couldn't wait to see what's in the package for this year.

The front desk worker handed me my package and I tore it open right there. I looked inside, there I found... Work out gear. Completed with a bright red sports bra.

WORK OUT GEAR?!?!

See, I know my mom had good intentions buying this stuff for me. But ON VALENTINES DAY?!? While everyone is getting flowers and chocolates?!?  I know it probably sounds bitchy and I'm the scum of the earth for a daughter but seriously work out gear for a surprise? C'mon! That's like getting an old pair of socks for Christmas! So I feel really crummy and tired and shitty the whole day. With not getting enough sleep and knowing the fact I'm the new owner of a brand new red sports bra. And to make things better? I called my boyfriend to say happy valentines day. He doesn't pick up the phone or call me back. He leaves a generic "Happy Valentines Day!" on my FaceBook wall. I knew I picked a winner haha.

But like all fairy tales. This one has a happy ending. My friend is a music major. She plays the guitar and has a killer voice. She records her songs and puts it on YouTube. She texted me late last night and she wanted to me to do harmony on a song she wrote for Valentines Day. So as 12:00 am rolled around and the worst Valentines Day of my life was coming to a close. I sat there with one of my best friends laughing until tears came to our eyes. Wanna see our video? Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hQYgDlfmh4&feature=player_embedded#at=13

Have any worse Valentines Day stories than mine? You probably do. Leave me a comment and tell me about it. :)

The commercials are rolling and my team is winning (Go Packers!) so I thought it would be a good time to fill you guys in. Sorry it's been taking me so long to update. I found out there is actually stuff to do in Idaho.

My four friends and I drove up to McCall, Idaho to stay at my friends cabin. There was snow EVERYWHERE. Not like the flurry that Oregon gets it was ACTUAL LEGIT SNOW. When we went snowshoeing it was seriously up to my knee. And that was with snow shoes.

Anyway, McCall was actually a lot of fun. Last night we went to this place called The Activity Barn and we went night sledding. It consisted of getting an intertube, getting hooked up to a lift, and going down a slippery icy slope at a really fast speed. It was fantastic.

Tomorrow we head back to school to start a new semester (ugggghhhhhh) and it's back to the run of the mill. Getting up early, homework, work, etc. This week was much needed to just hang out with my friends and chill. I hope we do this again soon.

So after a long and tiring month of class, I finally get to go on a vacation. Yes, that's right, vacation.

My friend invited me and a couple of friends back to her home in Idaho and it's my first day here.

We just woke up and now we're watching "Say Yes to the Dress". I can feel the estrogen pouring into the room.

More tomorrow.... I just woke up. haha
