wishful thinking.

i just got my valentines gift from my dad: josh early nonpareils! it's what i get from him every year, but they are so good that it's still exciting. i already ate half of the box of milk chocolate ones and my stomach is on the verge of hurting. i'm going out to dinner tonight to farmicia, so i hope that i don't ruin my appetite too much. i wanted to wear a dress and look nice, but it's still pretty cold out. i wish that this painting by charlene liu was printed on silk and made into a beautiful summer dress. but i guess that i'd just settle for temperatures over 75. i'm officially sick of jeans and boots. dress weather please come!

valentines day.

this morning i called candy stores all over philly to find what i now know to be called "smooth melty mints." {ew}

cris kept talking about them so i figured that i'd pick some up for him today, but i didn't know how hard it would be! i finally found a shop that had them at the reading terminal market, fisher's soft pretzels. it was a cute mennonite store and the guy remembered me from when i called this morning. i must have sounded really excited. i also picked up some daisies. i wanted to get tulips, but they were looking pretty sad. i hope that he likes them! if not, i'm picking wayne the mini-horse i found while torturing myself on petfinder, to be my valentine! i love you wayne!
