Well, Matt and I have become “that couple.”  We were out shopping at Target on Saturday (looking for light bulbs.  Aren’t we exciting?) and as we saw all the Valentine’s cards and candy, we realized that neither one of us had even thought of what to do for the other for Valentine’s Day.  

We decided to move it to next Saturday.

See?  That couple.

In fairness, it was on a Monday.  And we’ve been insanely busy.  Matt’s financial deadline at work is always the 15th so the 14th is the worst day of every month for him.  Since giving my notice at work I’ve been “blessed” with insanity and a side of drama to usher me out the door.  Plus the stress/anticipation of a new job is building steadily.  Matt’s been sick for ten days and I’m fighting it off.  We both pass out on the couch around 9:30 every night and have to drag ourselves into our bed whenever one of us is concious enough to make it happen.  Last night was no exception.  Again, that couple.

However, we have big plans for Saturday.  We’ve got nothing to distract us from the day togetherness and we have reservations at the Brazilian chiaroscuro restaurant in Scottsdale and I’ve got some other fun stuff up my sleeve.  Hopefully we can salvage this holiday although, as my husband pointed out in the Target candy aisle “We love each other every single day.  We don’t need no stinkin’ Valentines.”

 Sigh.  That couple.

It appears that my prayers to get out of my own head and find ways to be happy and productive have paid off in a big way.  January made a diving save on day 28 and is officially forgiven for sucking so extraordinarily.  I’m so grateful it redeemed itself and it seems my prediction that 2011 will be my best year ever has already started to come true.

I just got back from a five day Disney World vacation and while I was there I got word from back here in AZ that I was offered a dream job at a dream company.  With a dream salary and dream benefits.  Downside?  I had to give my notice today exactly five minutes after returning from said Disney vacation and watch the mayhem unfold.  OK fine, that’s not really a downside.  It’s more like a little hiccup which will cause the next three weeks to be a little strained and stressful.  But it’s so worth it.  I’m giddy with excitement.

For the record, Disney World is the most magical place on earth and I want to live there.  With these girls.  Love them.

Yay for DisneyWorld and yay for new jobs.  Happy Monday and even Happier February!
