Valentine's Day

I usually try to ignore Valentine's Day every year, even if I am dating someone. Of course this is completely futile especially in a workplace where everyone is dating but me. We've been busy all week and working late but the upside to the holiday is that even with the work load we all got out 'early'. So I spent my Valentine's Day at work and sleeping in a hammock which was completely awesome by my reckoning.

The only thing I really missed was getting flowers from my dad like when I was a little girl. They always made me feel special. My family did send me a card in the mail!

Speaking of which, a very happy anniversary to my parents!

It seems my single friends state side also had some fun :) Incidentally it was also his birthday.

Look Out!

Look Out New Zealand! I have an International Drivers Permit!!

I did this just in case I needed to rent a car and so I can used it as an official form of identification where needed. Social Security cards are no bueno for that over there.

I am much more concerned with this whole driving on the other side of the road bid. I'm reading up on it before I go but somehow I don't think it's going to be enough. If I'm lucky I won't drive at all while I'm there but I have learned to trust nothing to luck or the future. It's better to make your own luck thru hard work and preparation if at all possible and then if you do get lucky it's just a bonus.
