AAhhh Valentines day. There's nothing like running to Fry's in the morning while Kara's at the gym to look for something.. anything to get the love of my life something so thoughtful and sentimental that it would just melt her heart away. HHmmm - melt - chocolate melts - she loves chocolate- Reese's miniature cups! I can't believe it took me so long to think of something so precious and meaningful in our relationship. Then I cook for her and we watch a movie. Pride and Prejudice... Garnetski would be so proud of me. (for Non-Globites he was the 12th grade english teacher from Globe that would wear shirts with flames on them half way buttoned down while he stared at mckay, dusty, and I licking his lolipop) It was a good movie and Kara and I had a good time talking with our English accents for the rest of the night.

Rise and shine it's time to go teach the youth at our church about hugs and kisses. If you ever wanted to feel like an old man really fast talk to today's youth about why it's better to save yourself for marriage. That's right this was supposed to be a discussion about hugs and kisses and by the end of the lesson I was trying to explain it's not okay for two people who just like each other to get it on. After sunday school and a word from PB we had our usual lunch with the Meskill's and whoever else shows up to eat with us (always interesting and informative my IQ goes up every time I hang out with J & A. Then the highlight of our Valentines weekend . . . Confessions of a Shopaholic, lets just skip the review and move on to Monday.

Monday Feb 16th

Uneventful day at the office. Then dinner at Chili's to benefit the C.P.C.C.F. Ciara Porter Cheer Competition Foundation. She is a great little girl and if anyone would like to make a donation to help her out tell Kara.

Tuesday Feb 17th

Another fun day at work drinking coffee and Rock stars. I think this was the day I went to Globe for a little bit and worked and had some delicious LP's. Then we watched fireproof (see Kara's blog about 2 months ago for more info) it was fun and I especially enjoyed the company of friends.

Wed. Feb 18th

We all show up at the office early to do our cleaning chores and after getting some great instructions I was able to get the toilets pretty clean and now I know why Kara and my mom HATE cleaning them so much.... it's pretty bad. Then we had a study night after work where we all study about surveying to try and gain more knowledge because when this recessions over our company goal is to to be head and shoulders above any remaining survivors!! I probably take my job a little too seriously

Thursday Feb 19th

Office day. Showed up 30 minutes late which really stinks because according to the rules of one of the 30 office bets I got going, I'm at $1 a minute for tardiness. Spent most of the day bidding jobs for prospective clients. "Bidding these jobs is like a game of cards" my friend/boss says as we go over the numbers, this statement becomes much more relevant in tomorrows post.

Friday Feb 20th

MSHA Training day. Now for all of you non miners MSHA stands for Mining Safety and Health Administration and yes an 8 hour refresher course on mine safety is as boring as it sounds. But as usual if you mix in a few antics with a sudoku challenge, it becomes manageable. oh yeah and if any of you ever hear about Talmage getting hurt at the mines don't feel to sorry for him he was falling asleep during most of the Safety Hazard of working at the mines!! Oh and about my good friend Taylor, I guess i need to start CHEATING when I bid jobs because playing the card game Phase 10 is no fun when someone hides all the wild cards under their chair!!!!! P.S. Kimmers i was winning before all the shenanigans took place.
