Luckily, class wasn't a long one, so I got to watch the first episode of Survivor. I get made fun of my Survivor obsession, and rightfully so. After we finished watching Survivor (which was great!) we watched some more tv before we headed out to the Trout. We hung out there for a while, then headed home and went to bed.

tousled hair anyone?
Friday (February 12) I had a paper due at 5. As of 11, when I got home, I had yet to start it. Well, I talked to mom for a while, then we got a call that the kids (who were supposed to be on their way to our house) got on the wrong bus and I had to go get them. So I wasted nearly and hour going to get them and getting back home. I finally started my paper at 1, and finished it at 345. Oh and I already got my grade back, I aced it, don't worry. ;)
After I was done with my paper, I went upstairs and was talking to mom and she had mentioned that she wanted to go to town so she could get stuff for Valentine's Day, so I offered to take her. While we were at Walmart, I picked up some hair dye. I have been bored with my hair for a while and I don't want to cut it yet, so I decided to dye it, temporarily.
When we got home I dyed my hair and got ready to go out to meet friends. Oh, and I didn't tell them I was going to dye my hair. I met up with them at the Trout. They claimed to like my hair, even though it was REALLY bright that first night. Anyhow, we hung out there for a while before heading home.

red?!?
Saturday (February 13) I had to get up early to head home and get ready to go to Indian River to the smokehouse for training for fire school. I changed my clothes and thew my hair in a ponytail and grabbed an air pack and headed to the smoke house.
For those of you reading this who aren't firefighters, the smokehouse is a two story building that was built specifically for training, there are movable walls in it so the training can be changed up and you don't become familiar with the set up after a couple training sessions.Then they use a smoke machine (breathable smoke) to fill the building so we can train in it doing searches with our air packs on.
Zach (my training partner) wasn't in town for the training because he had to do something for work, so I teamed up with Jill (a friend of mine from high school). The training was awesome. I think all of us who were there loved it. I can't wait to do it again!
After training, I came back home and did my homework that was due on Sunday and got ready to go back out to see a friend. We hung out at the house and watched TV for a while, I'm pretty sure I fell asleep a couple times. We were both kinda hungry though, so we went out to McDonald's and got some food. While we were there we decided to go to the Trout for a bit. I was so tired, but was more than happy to go along with him, well just before we got there he asked if I would rather just go back home and relax and I said absolutely. I know for a fact that I slept through whatever we were watching on TV then. And we went to bed early! I think all my staying up late and not sleeping through the night because of heartburn was catching up to me.

I had just woken up from one of my naps on the couch.
Happy Valentine's Day!!
On Sunday (February 14) my day started out great! I spent the morning with my friend, he got me roses and a card. This is especially significant because we had the not doing anything for Valentine's Day talk at least twice. Then one night at the Trout there was a guy going on and on about buying flowers for girls that he wants to be with or is with and told me how he better buy me flowers for Valentine's Day. Later he told me if I was lucky I would get a card. Whatever, I really didn't care either way. But I can tell you I was very happy to get the flowers in the morning, which he said was his whole plan. If I was expecting nothing I would be happy with anything, little does he know, I've learned not to have high expectations (not dissing anyone) and that I am always happy with anything. :)
Anyhow, we were supposed to be going to a late lunch/early dinner with Krissi and Seth, so I went home at a decent time so I could be ready to go to lunch with them whenever they called. Well, Krissi called me to tell me that they wouldn't be going home that day, so we wouldn't be doing lunch. When I called my friend to tell him he told me I should go to my fire meeting and he was busy in the evening.
So I went to my meeting. It wasn't all that exciting, I find we rarely discuss fire related stuff so I'm often bored. When I got home I worked on some homework. When he was done with his stuff he called me and I headed out to his place, gave him his Valentine's Day gift (just because he told me we weren't doing anything doesn't mean I listen!) and hung out with him for a while.

I curled my hair. :)
Monday (February 15) we really were going to lunch with Krissi and Seth, so I came home early and got ready to go out to lunch, then I worked on some homework and hung out with Dad until Krissi called to say they were on their way.
At that point, I went to my friend's and we hung out. We watched TV and talked while I knitted. When they got into town we went down to the Trout to meet them for lunch. It was so great seeing them! I missed Krissi so much!! Hell, I miss everyone from the 409 so much! I need to go visit them, but right now there are so many reasons I can't. Both because I am too busy and because I'm not certain that I am emotionally ready to deal with the relationship that I would inevitably see. I will be soon enough though. :) Anyhow, lunch was great, we caught up and spent some time reminiscing about some things. My only complaint was that it wasn't nearly long enough.
After lunch, Krissi and Seth headed back to Kalamazoo and we went back to his place. We hung out there for the hour or so we had left before we had to leave for class. Fire class was short again and I can't think of anything that was worth commenting on. When we got home from class we watched the CBS comedy shows (which were all reruns, boo) and looked up stuff online and just talked. I love just hanging out with him. (Which is obviously a good thing, right?) We called it a night kinda early because I had to be up early today.

Today I met Dad in Cheboygan so we could take the car into the shop. They told us to wait a bit and come back and they could tell us what was up with it. So, we went to Walmart and wandered around, got gas in Dad's truck and went to McDonald's for breakfast.
When we went back to get the truck they told Dad what work needed to be done on it and that they would need to keep it, so we headed home. I'm not feeling the greatest today so I spent a lot of the day in bed. I also worked on cleaning my room and worked on a bit of homework.
In the late afternoon, I had to get ready to go to the Firefighter's Association meeting., so I did. The meeting went well. There was some drama, as there always is. Ya know, you would think in a room of all grown men the drama would be minimal. . . . well you would be wrong. Oh well, it didn't involve me directly so I don't care.
After the meeting, Dad and I came home and I worked on editing my pictures of the day and this blog. I think I will be heading to bed shortly, so I'm confident in ending today's post here. . . :)
