i got a call from one of the cashiers up front that i had a delivery. i couldn't imagine why because the only thing i've purchased recently i had delivered to the police department. walking to the front mildly frustrated at someone's inability to ship something correctly, i got to our office door as a guy opened it, holding a big vase of flowers and a balloon. we stared at each other for a second before i asked, "are those for me?"
"are you chelsea?"
"uh...yeah..."
"then yeah."
cue oohing and aahing from some of my coworkers, and jamie's classy assertion, "ooh, someone's gettin' some bootay tonight!" ;) the classiest part was the quote on the card from "to catch a predator." i wonder how many girls chris hanson swooned today, ha.
i drove out to regal this afternoon to buy some vinyl. on my way back, i saw a guy sitting on the trash can at the 1 bus stop just north of 38th, holding a cardboard sign that read "FREE HUGS." further up, on the drag, i saw a TXRD girl complete with feathery white wings, skating along holding what appeared to be a bag of candy.
despite the fact my dumb ass didn't set the alarm last night and ended up being two hours late for work, i passed out my robot valentines and homemade truffles. man, you so wish you had one of those truffles. it took a few hours, and the shell didn't come out perfect (it's hard keeping melted chocolate between 90 and 92 degrees, okay?), but everyone still flipped over them.
and what says valentine's day like a heart-shaped pizza from mangia? man, chicago-style wheat crust packed with cheese and pepperonis...
nomnomnom. to quote bobby, "that's true love."
