I just got back from lunch with my wonderful boyfriend. He gave me my Valentine's Day gift and he certainly was right about me liking it! He gave me a "Get Away Day" package from Derma Technique Day Spa.

They didn't put on the gift certificate what all is included, but it's definitely got a manicure, pedicure, massage, and facial. It takes like five hours to do the whole thing, so I will take a day off from work (probably a Friday) and pamper myself silly! My birthday's in about a month, so that might be a perfect time to do that.

He did so good on this gift. I am a lucky, lucky girl. :-)

Since Robyn has declared that today is to be a Bloggin' Lovefest, I wanted to take a few minutes and let some people know how much I love them. I wish I could say something about everyone in the blogosphere, but alas, I just don't have days to wax poetic about them all. With that in mind, here are a few special bloggers (in alphabetical order) that I adore:

The Bran. Since I worship and adore her literally, how could I leave Bran off the list? I still remember when, just a few weeks into the blogging world, she e-mailed me and offered to make me a skin. I thought it was so sweet of her and have been part of her cult ever since.

Christine. The person who actually got me started in all of this crazy blogging nonsense. She helped come up with the domain, installed my MT, made the first skin, and hosted me. Well, after working together for a couple of years, it was the least she could do, right? ;-) Anyway, she's one of the few people that can actually appreciate the insanity in my life and I'm thankful for her.

Erika. I've always been impressed by Erika's blog and her wonderful designs. Her posts are always interesting (be they funny, sad, or just a bit nutty) and her blog was one of the ones that I've read since before I began my own. I appreciate her honesty, her warmth, and her friendship.

Kristine. There is so much I could say about the ever-wonderful Kristine. She has always patiently answered my MT questions and even IMed with me through my first upgrade. She is a kind, kind soul who took me under her wing and I am a better person for it. She is sweet, she is passionate, she is smart, she is funny, and no one could be a better person than her. Plus, she's the one who got me hooked on all those online tests. ;-)

Michele. I remember reading Michele at the time of the WTC disaster and her writing would usually move me to tears. Rarely have I met anyone would could write so well be it a funny post, a heart-wrenching post, or just an every day, run of the mill post. I even remember getting drunk and crying a bit over her spitting incident post because I was so proud of her. If I could be any blogger, I would probably wish to be her.

Sheila. Ah, my own little tart. Sheila sent me an e-mail mentioning that she had been watching my blog (and me) from afar and really enjoyed it. I can't remember the last time I felt so flattered. We know IM pretty regularly and she's always good for a bit of tartness to get me going in the morning. She has a penchant for pin-ups that is completely understandable and crafts some of the most gorgeous blogsets out of them (check out Tart Graphics if you don't believe me). She is witty and deliciously interesting and I just adore her.

This week is like Christmas all over again! Yeserday I got all my presents from Jeanna and then today and I had a ton of boxes arrive on my desk. Well, they were all stuff I had ordered online, except for a package that I couldn't place.

I open it up and inside is a gorgeous blue, purple, and silver beaded bracelet and earrings from Dragonfly Lane sent by none other than the adorable Kristine. The beads are just gorgeous and I totally love the set. Of course, now I want to order more stuff since everything is just so beautiful. Thank you so much, sweet Kristine-y. You are a better friend than most people ever get to have in their life.

Today is my best friend Jeanna's birthday. She doesn't have a blog, so you can't go visit her, but feel free to leave her a note in the comments and I'll pass it along. Happy birthday, Jeanna! I love you!

Dear Mom,

While leaving on the plane Sunday, Steven and I were listening to the flight attendant (on video now) go through the what to do in an emergency spiel. At one point she said, "The cabin is pressurized for your comfort." Steven said to me, "And your survival." I completely cracked up. Who knew that pressurizing the plane was only for your comfort? Silly me! I thought that kept us from dying!

Ahh, it was nice visiting this crazy fishbowl, I had a nice time. I hope I didn't mess up the place too bad.

Thanks to everyone for visiting while I took care of the joint. Kymberlie will be returning soon, tonight I think, and I may not be back on to wrap things up, so thought I'd do so now.

And also thanks to the Big Fish herself. It was an honor to guest Blog here Kymberlie, I'd come back anytime. Thanks for trusting me with your Blog.

Take care everyone, and remember to visit Promo land once in a while.

OK, well, The Amazing Race is 2-hours, so I have a lot to do before I can free up all that time.

See you!

I finished reading Everything's Eventual by Stephen King last night. I had read or heard all the stories before, save Luckey Quarter, but I had forgotten how frightening the story 1408 is. After I finished it and the rest of the book, I turned off the light and tried to go to sleep, but had completely succedeed in freaking myself out with that story (King himself said the story frightened him, so I'm not as much of a wuss as I sound). I'm lying in bed trying not to think about the scary story when Steven (who has been asleep the whole time) rolls over and puts his arms around me. I then felt so safe that I went right to sleep. Ah. Happiness is being held by the man you love when you're your book has scared you and you can't go to sleep.

My boyfriend Steven is one of those men that you could describe as a gay straight man. He's very particular about decor, he has more fashion sense than me (not that that's probably saying much, though), and he loves to cook. Last night I'm talking to Christine on the phone when I here this funny clicking noise, like someone is stirring something really fast. It goes on for a couple of minutes, so I call into the other room, "Honey? What's that noise?" I hear back, "I'm making something from the Food Channel." My curiosity piqued (other Food Channel tests have lead to him making the best made-from scratch pizzas, calzones, and piña coladas), I walk into the kitchen to find Steven making mayonnaise. He accidentally put too much salt in, but it totally cracked me up that he was making mayonnaise by hand! On a side note, he also brought me flowers last night because he said it looked like I'd had a rough day. He is just too cute some times.
