Valentines Day

I never realized how big a deal Valentines Day is. It's crazy how many people give gifts on valentines day and hype it up. I had only one cup of coffee at work today. Random comment, but I'm proud of myself. I managed to get about 7.5 hours of sleep so I felt awake all day. Good stuff.
I dropped a bag of clothing off at a La Salle bank on the way home. I have all these clothes that I can get money for back in Iowa that Plato's closet doesn't take here because they're "over a year old" or something. With a few items it's true, but all the clothes are in good condition! Well, I gave up trying to get money for some of it, and just got rid of it. I kept some pants and stuff because I refuse to give up good money for those right now.
Since the 14th was Angela's 22nd birthday, we decided beforehand to go out to dinner. We left the kind of food up to Ang, and she decided on Greek. I've only ever had greek salad before, so I was up to it. Plus it gave us all a chance to dress up a bit more. We ended up at a place called Rodity's, located in Greektown just off the blue line. It was a really nice place, not too busy, but enough people inside to show us that the food was liked.
We grabbed a menu and ordered...Pam, Ang, and I ordered wine as well :) The others had a really sweet syrupy wine and I had a Merlot...only good when I mixed the sweet wine with it. I'm not really a fan of wine just yet...I've only had maybe 2 really good wines ever, and how am I supposed to remember the names?!?
After our meals of Gyros, chicken, greek salad, lamb ribs (blech!) and wine we started on our trek down to Michigan Ave to visit some chocolate shops. Mmmmmm. We tried the Hershey Corner store, but that had just closed. We ran across the street to another chocolate store and even got a sample!
That was about all for our evening together. I ran upstairs to get my shared books over to Chris so that he could read before class and I ended up watching a bible study-type movie with them about grieving. It's a series by Robbie Bell--Nooma? I've watched a couple of his videos before and he's super easy to listen to and watch. He's Dave's Pastor at Mars Hill church, so he has the whole series and knows the guy.
I came back to the room to get distracted once again and not start on homework until after midnight. Aah well, I can get a nap in tomorrow sometime. I'm also volunteering at the Bicycle Federation again :)
