Cooper’s Anti-Valentine’s day flowers for me…the day before v-day
Cooper and I are not Valentine’s day friendly, although we did have a heartfelt (actually heart clogging) V-day with a massive Zachary’s pizza. The flowers Coop-dog bought for me were not for Valentine’s day…they were “just cause” flowers which are so much better. Next year he plans to get the day after Valentine’s day leftover/sale flowers…atta boy!

Wednesday night we went to a pre-screening of In Bruges with Colin Farrell. It was actually really really good! (although, the screening was free and free things make everything better). If you are in the mood for a funny comedy and want to take your guy to something that involves guns but isn’t as serious as Rambo, this is a winner.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
