Yay knitting!
I got my knitting book today from Overstock.Com. That gives me tomorrow to read through it and pick a project or two to work on and then Wednesday, I can go and pick out the yarn and needles for my projects, as well as a small ball of practise yarn. I am all sorts of excited! It almost makes up for the shitty earlier part of the day.
But enough about that. Onto the Valentine's Day booty. My mum got us cards (one with a chocolate lipped cow for Steven and a sentimental one for me), a box of Russell Stovers, and $25 for us to go on a date or something. We actually weren't going to go out, but after the grill incident, neither of us felt like cooking much. So, we're cool, we went to Tennessee's BBQ. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as it usually is. After that, we went to the mall to fetch Elliott's sweater, which had sort of slipped our minds after he broke out in hives near his eye.
We puttered around, I picked up a Tutti Dolce lippie because they were only $5 instead of $10, a cherry blossom hand creme, and my Burt's Bees lippie. Saw the Ex talking to a friend of ours, but we obviously didn't bother stopping. Besides, I don't really want to be within 100 yards of him. I guess Laura almost hit him the other day on accident because he ran out in front of her.
Speaking of, Laura came over for a while today and she's my valentine this year. She brought me cherry blossom tea and I have her my Imitrex that I'm allergic to. It was nice to see a real live person, other than the one I live with. Yay!
Anyhow, despite Steven's dislike of the holiday, he's been getting me little things for about the last two weeks. So, from him, I received a pair of flying Cupid piggy socks, a chocolate rose, a red heart balloon, a really niiiiice massage, and happy, happy sex. I'm not going to totally elaborate on the varieties, but that was definitely the high point of today. Well, that and the back massage. I swear to god, you know you're getting old when a massage ranks up there with sex.
Oh, and I have computer sheepies. If anyone wants them, let me know and I'll email you the programme.

After that, we went to the mall to fetch Elliott's sweater, which had sort of slipped our minds after he broke out in hives near his eye.
We took Elliott to the mall yesterday to spend his little birthday gift certificate and possibly get his free Happy Meal. He found nothing he wanted, toywise that a) wasn't missing parts or b) he doesn't already have here. We took him by my former place of work to visit Meredith and I noticed he was either sniffing his coat or rubbing his face on it. This is when I noticed that he had three big hives and about five little ones coming up. We got a cold compress, parked him on my lap in the wheelchair for brevity's sake (have you ever tried holding a small child's hand while he walks and steer a wheelchair at the same time? It's damn slow.), called his mother to let her know we'd be bringing him back about 20 minutes early, and headed out so we could pump him full of Dimetapp to get rid of the itch. He was kind of upset about not getting the Happy Meal and kept trying to tell us he was all better (even though the hives were pretty obviously getting worse), but I think riding on the wheelchair evened it out a little.
His mother called and said his eye is all better, so that's good. I think we'll be avoiding Wiz Kids for the last two weeks of its existence, since that's where we think he got into whatever allergen he found. He told us he got the itchies while we were in KB Toys. We told him next time he gets the itches to tell us right away, so he doesn't have to itch so long.
