it was significantly passed midnight by the time we got to bed last night. and hence, valentine's day. so i gave stef the gift that i had bought for her. a necklace of three irregular loops. (like the dots on the sheets.)

at dinner last night she had been talking about how she needed to buy herself a new necklace because she was getting tired of the couple she always wears. and i sort of sat back and smiled, having already bought one for her. she wore a v-neck shirt to show it off at work today.


i had lunch with garth, then a meeting of the library architect search committee with the president of the school. aaa. new antifreeze in the car. home.

on her break stef had gone to the mall to buy some books on chicago and maybe some new clothes, and called me when she was done. she got me a sexy new black sweater.

then she was back off to work, all dressed up for valentine's day, and i went back home to finish my laundry.

she got out early, before nine, and we called around to see if we could get dinner somewhere, but everyone was pretty much booked up. so we ordered in. sat at home and watched tv.

i guess it's really the first valentine's day that either of us has been part of a real couple. i think it's appropriate that we're each other's first. it's nice.
