I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!
This year valentines cost me way more
+ trip to the grammy's
+ new canon 5D camera
+ new canon lens
+ dinner
women are trouble
kind of reminds of the rodney joke
my wife lost her credit card but I haven't cancelled it
who ever's using it now is spending way less than she ever did

I read today that the average woman spends $85 on her husband on Valentine's Day and the average male spends $155. That proves that women are more trouble.
(I didn't get in trouble.)
I love chocolate ... And Godiva is fabulous chocolate. Way to go ... Roses are good, I like pink ones, but there are other flowers that are more original.
Valentine's day for me this year consisted of going to practice with three other people that are either married and don't celebrate or also didn't have a date. I had a great workout and while everyone was pigging out I was doing some great fly sprints!! :D

Me too baby sister. :rofl:
I hung out with three other "people" that aren't married and didn't have dates. I went to practice alone that afternoon at the only pool that wasn't closed due to weather where I did some fly sprints and underwater SDKs. Later, I had to cook for those three "people" and another friend of the "people." What fun.
Man, I'm thinking everyone wants to be married to Matt and Ande now.
I'll still pass on the roses though.
:smooch: for FlyQueen and Kyra.

I got an e mail with this in it a few weeks ago. I was going to use it as a signature but then thought better of it. Don't want to irritate some of my new friends.:thhbbb:
Women aren't trouble! Keep it simple guys!
My husband gave me the perfect Valentine's Day! He brought me a box of chocolate, a bottle of wine, and cooked me a steak and shrimp dinner at home. I thought it was so sweet for him to plan and cook the dinner for me. He's a great cook...so I am spoiled!
Roses are beautiful but they don't last... and they're pretty pricey....give me a bouquet of daisies and I'm happy!
Ooh! Full Frame DSLR..nice buy Ande. Now comes Photoshop CS3, Lightroom, DxO Optics, or some other Raw Converter/PP program. Easy come, easy go.
Valentines was relatively spendy for me as well, although nowhere near as bad as Ande's!
Dozen white/red roses
Godiva Chocolate Heart
Dinner at a nice restaurant for 4 (We went with another couple whom we are best of friends with and decided to treat)
Spendy, but worthwhile for sure.
Roses are good, I like pink ones, but there are other flowers that are more original.
I generally get tulips when I buy flowers but our local flower shops don't get them during these cold months. I suspect if I tried hard enough I could get them but they would come with a rather large price tag.
My husband has never done anything special for Valentines Day. I forgive him. It's a tough holiday to remember, what with the date changing every year. :D
(I can't complain though. The man is incredibly accomodating to my work and swimming schedule. He unloads the dishwasher first thing in the morning, starts Saturday morning out with laundry, never complains about the house being a mess and is game to try anything I cook. And most importantly, he still makes me laugh. I'll take that any day over sweets and roses...although once in a while would be nice.)
