Bruised like Rihanna

Ok, maybe not like her. But, I do have an awesomely massive bruise on my right hip. What happened? Well, turns out when learning how to clip in to bike pedals, one should try that out first in the field, not their apartment parking lot. I tipped over and paid the price. Oh well. So, I was really scared of falling. I can't remember the last time I fell on a bike, so it was weird to experience that again.


Yesterday was my dear Milo's 5th birthday. I made him steak and gave him a side of peanut butter and he was in doggy heaven. He kept looking up at me as if he was saying "REALLY?!"

We had a massive storm last night that severely damaged some homes here. Luckily, no one around here was hurt. However, Oklahoma was not as lucky, as 8 people have been found dead and some 30 people are still missing. So tragic.

This weekend I have planned a HUGE surprise for David for Valentine's Day. For those who know me well, I usually hate that damn "holiday." I mean, shouldn't my significant other be that nice to me the whole year round? Plus, I've never been a fan of flowers and I really hate cards. Nonetheless, this year I decided to throw away the bah-humbug and go for the gusto. Hopefully, it'll be loads o'fun.
