Lovely!

Flowers sent to work- No wait, ROSES sent to work- ... i generally say it's not a big deal, and I'm not a flowers kind of girl. Still, it didn't hurt that darling friend sent me some! :) It was a lovely surprise!!!

i called him afterwards to thank him and he said, "I couldn't not send you roses on valentines day."

i suppose Max will get MAJOR brownie points later...
thank-you sweet boy!!!

and HAPPY LOVE DAY to all you! I hope you feel loved this weekend- whether it's with your bf/gf, your family, pets, or almost best of all- girlfriends! if you're single, read this fabulous "pep talk."

xo a happy micaela!

my Friday morning started out like a Monday

I stayed up last night watching my beloved Mavs lose to the Boston Celtics in O-T :( *twinkie is happy, she loves Boston. I decided to have a glass of wine- or 4. Needless to say, I was a bit hungover this morning. So I'm running late and then my Chi Straightener [my cute red chi straightener] dies on me. Just gave up. My hair is half wet and crazy. I generally have straight-ish hair, but when it's wet, it tends to get wavy. Not good.

I am leaving casa di M at 8:00 a.m. - the time I am supposed to be at work.

Not good.

I had already texted my boss to tell her i was running late. Luckily, I can be cool with my boss and i texted her that my chi straightener died, "stop laughing." :) since i was going to be late anyway, i decided to buy starbucks for the office. [My co-worker Sametta buys us Mcdonalds on payday fridays.]

i get to work, and there's a sweet lollipop waiting for me on my office chair from my boss :)

Starbucks and an unexpected little goodie... and then Betty from another office brings me a YUMMY cookie bar she baked. DELISH!

it feels like FRIDAY now. Everyone's buzzing with happy feelings.

I'm having lunch with darling friend

that's very good.

when i told him about my straightener, he texted, "i love your curls, maybe i sabotaged your straightener, ha." very cute. :)

hope you lovies are having a great Friday the 13th!!!

Friday the 13th!!! :)

My twinkie sent me this email:

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!!!!
I already got yelled at by my boss and it’s only 8:15!!! It REALLY must be Friday the 13th :) But at least it’s FRIDAY!!!!!

and I wrote her saying that it wasn't "Jason" Friday the 13th but it was

ROBBIE WILLIAMS' Birthday!!!! :)

I'm STILL going to marry him. ha

When we were younger, my seesters & close girlfriends would make me birthday cards "for him" to me. hahaha we'd even make a cake.

I can't make this stuff up. lol

Text from My Momma

"Richard Geere is still d man. He still so cute. Im watching d night in rodante."

My Momma really does text like that. I never write "d" for "the." Where does she learn it??? lol She just started texting awhile back. I love it! I'm glad she finally gave in and learned how to, because if not? I would be missing out on funny texts like these all the time.

*btw, she's watching "Nights in Rodanthe."



Momma text cont: "Marz don't like him." *Marz is my twinkie's nickname
My reply: "She's Crazy! Marz also hasn't seen "An Officer and a Gentleman!"

Richard Gere, I agree with my Momma... you are still d man!!!!

an email once sent from darling friend.

so, i was looking for some of the latest scientific research on love and romance on the web this morning. it seems that scientists and engineers dont have a great deal of insight on this subject. in fact, the ancients seem to have as good an understanding as modern folks. love is unexplainable, sometimes complex, sometimes simple....it is a powerful force that can cause us to do crazy things. however, modern science does give us some tools to look at love differently....

STRIKE A POSE!
