VALENTINE'S DAY WAS VERY BASIC. I HAD WAKEN UP TO AN EMPTY BED AND LOOKED AT THE CLOCK TO NOTICE THAT IT WAS AFTER 9, AND MY HUBBY WAS NOT AT WORK! SO I FREAKED OUT AND ASKED WHY HE WASN'T AT WORK, AND HE SAID HE WAS GONNA WORK FROM HOME. MMMMM YEAH RIGHT. WELL I HAD SOME STUFF TO DO ON MY LIST, SO WE GOT STARTED DOING SOME HOUSEWORK. I WAS KINDA CLEANING UP THE COMPUTER ROOM, AND PLACED SOME AVON ORDERS.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A COPY OF MY HOME DEPOT RECEIPT FOR THE STORE TO RE-IMBURSE ME $100 SINCE THE SALES PERSON WAS PUSHING ME TO SPEND OVER $2,000 TO QUALIFY FOR A PROMO $200 GIFT CARD. WELL, MONTHS LATER I GET MY GIFT CARD IN THE MAIL, AND THERE IS A CARD FOR ONLY $100. I CALLED AND THE REBATE CENTER SAID THAT THE ACCESSORIES I HAD ADDED TO THE ORDER WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BASE PRICE. OK, THAT KINDA DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SINCE THE MANUFACTURER HAS TO CUT THE LUMBER ACCORDING TO MY SPECIFICATIONS OF WHERE I WANTED THE VENT, AND WINDOW TO BE PLACED. IT'S NOT THAT EASY TO ADD THAT STUFF AFTER THE FACT THAT THE SHED HAS BEEN BUILT. WHATEVER. SO I SAID MY POINT AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE HOME DEPOT STORE AND CHEW THEM OUT FOR MISINFORMING ME. SO I DID. THE MGR TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME A $100 GIFT CARD TO COMPENSATE ME. SO I HAD TO GO OVER THERE. THEY HAD A COPY OF THE ORDER FROM OCTOBER. SO THAT HELPED.

I ALSO HAD TO GO TO FAMOUS FOOTWEAR TO EXCHANGE A PAIR OF K-SWISS SHOES THAT HAVE THE "TONGUE TWISTER" (REVERSIBLE COLOR TONGUE) SINCE THE BALL PIVOT SNAPPED OFF. WEIRD. THEY'RE NEARLY NEW! SO, I LOOKED AROUND FOR A WHILE, AND HAD DECIDED ON A PAIR OF NIKE'S, BUT WHEN I WENT UP TO THE COUNTER THEY ONLY WANTED TO GIVE ME LIKE $30 SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE THE RECEIPT. I'D BE FINE WITH THAT IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT SAME SHOE FOR THE SAME PRICE OF $54.99 WHICH IS WHAT I PAID FOR. SO I TOLD THEM THEY CAN GO THROUGH ALL OF THEIR JOURNAL TAPES FOR WHEN I TELL THEM THE DATE OF MY RECEIPT IF I CAN FIND MY BANK STATEMENT. I JUST DON'T REMEMBER PAYING $30 FOR THEM. WHO KNOWS, I COULD BE WRONG. IF I AM WRONG, THEN THERE'S NO HARM DONE AT ALL. I DIDN'T RAISE A FIT IN THE STORE (WHICH I SURPRISED MYSELF) I DON'T KNOW. I KINDA REMEMBER BUYING SOMETHING FROM THEM ON MY VISA FOR AROUND $55, BUT NOT SURE IF THE SHOES WERE INDEED $30 AND A PAIR OF PUMPS TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE? GRRR. OH WELL.

THEN FROM THERE, I WENT TO COSTCO TO GET SOME APPLES, AND LETTUCE. I DID FIND A PAIR OF ADIDAS SNEAKERS FOR $25 SO I GOT THEM. I STILL NEED TO TRY THEM ON. THEN CAME HOME TO FIND THAT DON'S AUNT HAD BEAT ME THERE. THEY WERE ON THERE WAY FROM TWIN FALLS, IDAHO. SO WE HAD THEM OVER FOR DINNER. THEY LEFT AFTER THAT. I HAD PLANNED ON GOING ON OUR 2 MILE WALK, BUT BY THEN IT WAS DARK OUT. I STILL HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY A CARD FOR HUBBY! WHOOPS! THEN WHEN I WAS GONNA GO TO THE STORE, HE HAD THE 1ST SEASON OF "LOST" ON TV, THEN I GOT SUCKED INTO WATCHING LIKE 3 HOURS OF IT. SO RIGHT WHEN THE NEXT DISC WAS TO BE ON, I TOLD HIM I HAD TO GO AND TO NOT WATCH IT WITHOUT ME! HAHA.

WELL, I'M GONNA GET READY FOR BED.
