I learned today that I should always have my camera with me. I was getting ready to go to Target this afternoon, and looked at my camera. I thought, what could I find to take a picture of at Target? So I left the camera in my apartment. Because though it was Valentine's Day, it was a rather routine day.
Being single, I don't typically make a big deal of Valentine's Day. It's usually during a weekday, so we have our little party at school, and I go home and make myself a nice little dinner, and life goes on. Today, being Saturday, I just decided to have a normal little Saturday, doing things that made me happy, and watching whatever I wanted to on tv, including in indulging in a Lifetime movie network in which Dean Cain went from being a street hustler to a seemingly-wealthy, exceedingly-eligible bachelor thanks to an executive who is secretly doing it as a bet. You see where this one is going... I had to draw the line when the movie that was on after that was also starring Dean Cain, this time as a fireman who was about to get married but found himself falling in love with the wedding planner. A girl's gotta have standards.
So, I had the debate about the camera with myself and Daisy, who wasn't willing to participate or give advice because she was put in her crate and harboring a silent grudge. I decided not to take the camera, but saw the error of my ways when I went outside and saw this:
I bet you can't guess what my picture of the day is going to be. So, wow. What does one do with this? I'm so in unchartered territory. I'm not the kind of girl that has secret admirers. One of my first thoughts was actually "Dude. Somebody got the wrong car." And I'm not so sure that I'm wrong. I looked on all of the other cars in the parking lot, but none of them got secret admirer notes. I also thought that it might be Jewelry Guy (the guy from eHarmony that won't go away), but I'd discovered earlier that he has recently unfriended me, which just means he beat me to the punch.So, who is it? I can't in a million years figure it out. Is it someone from my apartment complex? I'm trying to figure out who knows where I live, and knows what kind of car I drive. I can't figure it out. I have no idea who it is. At all.
But, that's a good thing in some ways. For once, I can't control anything. I can't seek him out. I can't say manipulate conversations or anything to make myself look witty and good. I can't do anything but go along my merry way and see be myself and see if he makes a move of any sort. And that's how it's supposed to be anyway.
So, here I go, on about my merry way...
Things that make my world go round:
- hearing my favorite phrase "eleventy billion" used in my new favorite television show, "Leverage"
- even though the laptop's broken AGAIN, at least they fixed the battery, so I can milk the four hours or so for all it's worth.
- my favorite shows DVRed, with no time to watch them, so that I could enjoy them all on this leisurely Satruday
