Random Photo Entry 27: Hope I Don't Blow it This Time

I never really talked about what I did on Valentine's Day.

Well, that's because I was sick and didn't have the energy to cook him dinner like I had planned.

He got me a little present with some things to cheer me up (including that Ring Pop in the back when he "proposed" that we should be Valentines).


I felt really bad because I didn't go through any of that effort.  Worn out from work, school, and my cold, I could only think about laying in front of the TV.

He made me soup with some produce he had and a box of carrot ginger soup in the cupboard -- my version didn't have those sausages on top.  Sadly, due to my extreme lack of appetite, I had to work hard to get it down. :(

NOTE: I did not have these sausages in my bowl!



He even brought over some lovely cheese bread from Bishop, CA.  But as much as I tried to appreciate it, I'm sure my lethargy wasn't appreciated.

Well, now, I've got less than a week to think of something for our third anniversary.  I have school this Saturday and other important school stuffs in the week/s after.  That, along with being completely burnt out in general, doesn't bode well for my creativity.

Last year, he took me to Temecula, a romantic winery area.  Everyone thought he was going to propose, a notion to which I laughed.  I wasn't laughing at the idea but moreso at how quickly people jump to those sorts of conclusions.  Nope, I'm not engaged... yet... except in my school work. 

Okay, maybe not.

StyleScience Airfoil Sunglasses

Much too long after the death of my last pair of sunglasses, I managed to get my hands on another pair. This one comes from CVS/pharmacy. I figured that since a more expensive pair blew out on me, why not a drugstore one? So after going to speciality stores, I came upon this one that looks and feels good... StyleScience's Airfoil. I didn't notice until later that this is meant for men, but my large head circumference called for it, I think. Anyway, I like that the sides have some ventilation (via a large triangular hole). I hope not to break this one...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat
