I realized i forgot to say, "Happy Valentine's Day!" to everyone. So yah. There it is.
Didn't do much this year. I did however make a surprise visit to Sar's place to drop off a box of Godiva Dark Chocolates and a rose for my sweetheart. No dinner plans since she was sick.
Literally ran through Disneyland last Friday (2/16) because i had dinner plans at Blue Bayou (restaurant inside Pirates of the Caribean) with Sar's family and visiting friends from Japan. Reservations were made at 8:50pm. I was planning on getting off work at 6pm. I find out i have to stay for a special project. 8:20pm rolls around and we're done. I fly out the door and run across the plaza to the basement level of the structure to my car. Peel out and do about 110mph on the 5 frwy to the Disneyland parking structure where i park almost all the way to the back. Dash across the parking lot, dodging people on the escalator, make it to the tram just before it starts moving. Get to Downtown Disney, run through the gates, run down Main Street where people are lining up for the fireworks show, make it to Blue Bayou at 8:55pm. I'm sweatin' like crazy. That wasn't fun. At least i got prime rib out of it :P
Went to our first caterer's tasting. Sar and i were expecting small samples and planned to get ramen after our tasting. Turns out we got a full meal with 3 entrees. All three were split in half, but still... that's 1.5 entrees for each of us... including appetizers, salad, and bread. Needless to say we didn't get ramen that night. We'll be doing it again for our 2nd caterer this Sunday. Yay for free food!
Can't think of anything else to update on right now.

We've always said as soon as we buy our own house, Charlie would come live with us because he's *our* dog.
So over the weekend Sar needed to get organized and lesson plan for the week, but still had to walk Charlie. As i've done many times before, i offered to take Charlie myself to give Sar time to do what she needed to do.
While Sar was moving her car into the garage, i had Charlie ready to go. As we walked down the driveway, Charlie kept looking back at Sar and whining. I figured he would stop, so i kept tugging him along. I don't even get down the block and Charlie keeps looking back and pulling wondering where "Mommy" is. It got to the point where he wouldn't go on his walk anymore. So i let him pull me back to the front door of Sar's house where he planted himself and waited for Sar to come out.
I told Sar what happened and ofcourse she gushed over the situation and decided to come along. As soon as she called out to Charlie from the back door, Charlie literally dragged me back there to greet her *owner*. After handing over the leash, we walked without issue.
Dumb dog.
I think it's time i start looking for that German Shepard i've always wanted.

Not much really. Just made my manager's top 3 sh!t list this past week.
Without going into details, basically a coworker threw me under the bus by running off to Legal to tell them my manager was advocating fudging my hours on my timesheet to avoid paying me overtime (our company is into cost cutting). So basically Legal came down on my manager with a quickness... and ofcourse my manager points the finger at me, thinking i'm the one who ratted him out.
In the end, said coworker came clean... but that doesn't mean my manager is any less pissed off at me.
Success!! I can now listen to my iPod via the factory radio! Took me about an hour to install... only because i had to rip out my entire trunk to do this... but it's SO worth it!
Now maybe driving into work will be slightly more bareable.
