So,
Valentines Day cometh again. It cometh every year; some to haunt, some to encourage, some to fill with emotion, and some to cram a schedule.
I am the later. I am the one who always has some stupid obligation to fulfill on Valentines Day. In fact within the three Valentine Days that I have been with Christopher, every one has been full to the brim with commitments and other such nonsense.
Last year I had the Phonathon, and Christopher had class...
The year before I had class.
You would think that professors of the collegiate world would care about valentines day a little more, since those of us who had someone to "Valentine" with were a little more serious about our valentining than we had been at younger ages. But no, they do not.
I am finding that Elementary schools are a little more forgiving... For the students. Not for the teachers. OR their parents. Yes, we have Parent Teacher Conferences on Valentines day, and in the evening until 7:30.
YUCK!!! Who wants to hear about their child's behavior/misbehavior on VALENTINES DAY!?!?!
No one, that's who, And what teacher even wants to think about their brood of 20-30-425 students on Valentines Day evening
No one, that's who,
But until USD Blankity blank blank can gets their act together... we will have conferences on Valentines day evening, and Christopher will again sit home by him self pining for the sight of my smiling face.

so i had a great rant about pvdd last year (about how it's dumb), but i never finished...i thought about posting it this year...but i'm not sure how to finish it, so i probably won't. but just as a sidenote, we watched streetcar named desire last year. yup. memorable.
i'm looking forward to spending yet another holiday alone in my unvacuumed apartment. it's going to be effing great!
