Valentine's Day: Looking Back
A few years ago I was dog sitting on Valentine's Day. I was sitting in a gorgeous house with two gentle and enormous English mastiffs and decided to go get dinner, as I was getting really hungry. I started my car and popped the cassette into the tape player, and "On My Own," from the Les Miserables sountrack was appropriately queued up on the tape.
A lesson learned this week: Never discuss your frustrations about singlehood with someone in a relationship. They will either try to tell you how you just have to be patient--that perfect someone is out there, or they won't be any help at all because now that they've found someone, they could care less about you and your situation.

Which one is Rerun?
You are Rerun!
Which Peanuts Character are You?
It sort of scares me how on target this result is.
