He had a service dog vest on but what service he was providing I'm not sure. When his owner was with him he wasn't particularly well behaved, but he did just hang out and relax there while she went in to the fitting room and tried on clothes.
And even though he was getting a lot of attention from everybody he just stayed like that and only wagged his tail a little bit.
Out my window it's bright and sunny but when I went to take my laundry I saw the dark clouds on the horizon. So I am headed off for a bike ride now while my clothes are in the dryer. It hasn't started raining yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a rain ride.
I'm also just glad to get out of the house and away from that weird cat and whatever it is that I caught him doing earlier:
Since I am officially moving out I've had to keep my apt clean and ready to show whenever I get the call from my landlord, so I spent my day off cleaning everything.
As did the detective. The woman who came to look at my place the other day said she liked the apt and she loved my cat. I should have tried to give him to her when I had the chance.
I woke up this morning at 4am to him sneezing right in my face. That's what I figured happened anyways, I initially thought it was the air brakes on a bus that I had somehow fallen asleep next to. When I woke up I was so startled I had no idea what was going on. It almost sounded like a soda bottle exploded or something. I actually got out of bed and inspected everything to make sure it was in fact just him being exceptionally rude.
Having never seen anything with Honey Boo Boo I don't really know but I get the impression that the Simpsons pretty accurately foretold that show with Cletus the slack-jawed yokel.
It makes sense. Now that I've made the connection I kind of want to start watching Honey Boo Boo.
Granted leaving my entire music library on random provides for some awkward moments like when a book on tape comes on and totally ruins the flow.
BUT, it's all worth it for when I'm reminded of gems like Dirrty which I inexplicably removed from my main playlist at some point in the past decade.
That's right, this song came out in 2002. I'll never forget, this CD will always make me think of Jenny. I bought Christina and she bought Beyonce and then we traded copies. I miss those days, and I miss this Christina too.
Technically my valentine was Heather, but I thought of our dinner date as more of a birthday outing than a valentine's date. Either way, I was honored to get to spend her birthday evening with her.
Other than that and an afternoon with Daniel and Scout, I didn't do much of anything else today besides spend time with my special guy.
Lots of people at work commented on how great I looked in my suit, even though I've worn it around them all before. Then I realized it was because this was the first time I'd worn it since I got my hair cut.
Also, please note my amazing birthday gift from Jon. Whenever I look at it I imagine him saying, "Jonathan, I'm angry"
Jon sent me this picture today of a car he spotted in Boston traffic:
I immediately thought of Sail Away, which will always remind me of this:
Jonathan however said he thought of Only Time, so I thought I'd post the music video for today's love song, but after watching it I am not really sure if it counts as a love song. I do like the top comment on the video though:
I actually had every intention of posting this yesterday as I worked all day and heard this song countless times, but I got distracted with things and stuff.
So this is actually my love song for the 7th.
I'm pretty sure I had heard this song enough to know all the words before I ever asked a coworker who sings it. I was not expecting Selena Gomez. I really had to sit down with myself and ask the tough questions; are you willing to admit you like Selena Gomez? Are you ready to express these feelings with others? Does this mean you're going to start following Selena Gomez gossip? What's next, Bieber?
I'm going to be honest with you, I don't have all the answers, but I find some solace in the fact that I still have to google Bieber for spelling. And that even though I like the song, I didn't quite follow the music video. But whatever, if this is what the kids are in to these days I'm going to have to get used to it.
He says, "oh hey, I have a love song that expresses my feelings towards everyone"
I find the lyric, "When you lackin', you losin'. And I'm out the door!" is particularly appropriate for the detective. Yesterday he sat watching me finagle my bike back in to my apt until he finally had the perfect opportunity to bolt out the open door. I calmly went out to collect him and he proceeded to run around my apt building like a CRAZY MANIAC. At one point he came up to me slowly like he was ready to surrender and then at the last minute dashed out of my grasp and took off again.
He's bad.
You can look forward to a few more love songs from him this month. He told me he had a few good ones in mind.
This love song goes out to Leah and Meghan and everyone else who texted me at 8:15 to ask if I was watching the halftime show. Sadly, no, I was at work and did not get to see the halftime show, but I will surely watch it in the coming days and make my decisions on it.
In the meantime, I can't hear from Leah or Meghan without thinking of this Cake song, so I decided to make it my love song #3. I didn't even know there was a video but I am obsessed with it now. It has everything I love; cooking competitions, celebrity cameos, that Cake song I love. The only thing that would make it better would be if they had somehow worked in the detectives from the Special Victims Unit.
Still, it does have my new favorite quote, "I can't give you a 10 because of these damn peas".
It's like the words were stolen right out of my mouth.
This came to me yesterday like a bolt of lightning on my bike ride. I was so pleased, and then I forgot all about it and didn't post any love song at all.
I apologize, but know that I didn't forget entirely. And today you get two love songs.
Thank you Jonathan for sending me that to use for today. I try to keep a stockpile of rabbit images but I've actually used them all up now. I blame my always working and tending to horrible life chores, it's also why my posting has been so light.
Hopefully soon I will return in all my glory.
I like those two nice guys though, and the campaign makes me think of this:
which is always ok.
I was thinking about this post the other day but didn't make the realization that we were entering February and Valentine's Day. I think I've been more focused on it being Heather's birthday. But now that I remember, and have already had a reason to post a Jhud song, maybe I'll try and do a love song every day for February. Or maybe just every day until Valentine's day.
We'll see, at least I know there are enough love songs to choose from. Maybe I'll start planning them out today. It will give me an excuse to spend time with this month's calendar page:
