John: "That's more than fine. On that note, something serious. In a few days it'll be a holiday I've not had much use for. Thanks to you that's changed. However I don't know how best to go about doing things for it. That being said I'd like to try and have something else handy when I arrive this month, late as it'll be anyway. Will you be my Valentine? If yes, what may I get you?"

That happened last night during our nightly texting. He's so cute :)
I told him I wasn't sure what to get him and didn't know what he should get me- though I did think of a whole list of things later on- and that it didn't matter when we celebrated the holiday, as long as we were together.
After he went to bed, I started reading Death in Salem: The Private Lives Behind the 1692 Witch Hunt by Diane E. Foulds before I too went to bed around 12:30. I actually was awake around 8 something, but stayed in bed until 9:25.
Mom, Dad and I went to Metrocast before we went to lunch and got a new modem, which I hooked up in minutes. It is so nice to have internet again, especially since I can have my Skype dates again whenever I want.
BBQ place didn't happen, but we went to this place called Kapelli's. I got a sausage and meatball sub which I found good. Mom of course was her usual charming self and was sniping at me during much of the afternoon.
I finished the book I was reading and watched the first episode of 'Boardwalk Empire' with Mom before my shower. Since John's going to bed at 10 to work at 7 tomorrow morning, our Skype date should be happening any time now.
