This is what happens when I miss the train

So I missed the train tonight and was left with 30 minutes of blank time to spend sitting in Caribou Coffee. You know how Caribou's normally have a chalkboard wall posing a new question every week? This week's question in my local Caribou is "What are you looking forward to this Spring?"

Here are my thoughts on that question (reflected on while sipping a raspberry Northern Lite Latte):

I'm looking forward to learning the ins and outs of my new job as Events Coordinator.

I'm looking forward to traveling (for work and fun).

I'm looking forward to green grass and leaves.

I'm looking forward to not wearing tights everyday.

I'm looking forward to iced coffee season.

I'm looking forward to seeing my flowers, especially my newly planted lilacs.

I'm looking forward to painting the garage doors (because they look so bad in the dreary winter sludge).

I'm looking forward to running outside and not freezing.

And lastly...

I'm looking forward to riding my bike to work.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  

Hubs and I are going to celebrate our February 14th with Thai food from one of our favorite local spots. And maybe, just maybe- we'll grab some Starbucks on the drive home.  Sounds like a lovely evening to me.  

To help celebrate the occasion, enjoy these funny Heart Day poems. (They made me smile).

P.S. I love you, Honey!

There's someone I know

Who I really can't stand

I wish he would bury his

Head in the sand or

Move to the moon or

Deeper out of space

Whenever I see him

I make a weird face

Today during recess

Outside the yard

He suddenly gave me

A valentine card

I wish that he hadn't

It made me upset

It was the prettiest one

I could possible get

My love is like a cabbage

Divided into two,
The leaves I give to others,
The heart I give to you.

You may not "carrot" all for me
The way I care for you.
You may "turnip" your nose
When I plead with you
But if your "heart" should "beet" with mine
Forever "lettuce" hope
There is no reason in the world
Why we two "Cantaloupe."

I look at a tree,

And what do I see?

My Valentine's face

Smiling back at me.

I spot a cute rock,

But, oh what a shock,

For it reminds of you

And that is no crock.

Everywhere that I turn,

My feelings just burn

With thoughts about you,

My love please don’t spurn!

Each rock and each tree,

Each cloud and each bee,

The earth and the sea,

It all reminds me...

I love you awesomely!
