Isn’t it a little dismal to have class until 9pm on Valentine’s Day? And work all day before the 5 hours of class? That was my life yesterday. Now let me get this straight so no one misconstrues.. Valentine's Day is completely ridiculous to me. A virtual meaningless holiday, but I can't help but love playing along with it. We did have a great evening post stress-filled day. Mitch surprised me with an array of Cadbury, roses, and dark chocolate, my faves. He knows my abhorrence toward boxed chocolates. Like Jim Gaffigan says, every time you eat one it’s like, well this could be totally awesome or really nasty. And possibly filled with a toothpaste-like substance.
So Mitch got Becoming Jane for us to watch… all I have to say is it was amazing! I was crying for the last 40 minutes of the movie and then for about 30 minutes afterwards. I am now trying to plan which Jane Austen book I’m going to re-read. They are all so fabulous… But hands down best part of the evening—oh when I almost set our apartment complex on fire!! Manager Darrell if you for some weird reason are reading this, I apologize for the candle. I know they aren’t allowed, but it was v-day. I’m sorry, but don’t worry, the clothes I threw that landed on the candle didn’t ignite fully.Yes, I almost starting our apartment complex on fire when I threw Mitch's shirt and Yes it landed ON the candle!!! It was so hilarious, we were freaking out trying to pat the clothes out! What a day. But it was hilarious. We were laughing so hard my head hurt (and we were freaking out a little too).

Nothing says "I love you" like flaming clothing. And I won't broach the question of why Mitch's shirt was being thrown. But I will ask whether or not you are one of the people that always thinks, 'I can handle a candle, these landlords are just paranoid'. I know I was...until I almost burned down our complex as well. Glad you had fun, though!
So why was his shirt being thrown across the room ;) Glad you didn't burn your place down and I'm totally going to get that movie, I love chick flicks and I'm such a crier so I'm sure I will be right there with you!
I melted a bowl to our stove.
Oh man, I saw Becoming Jane when Matt was still living in Kauai and I came home to CA to work. I was a blubbering mess! In my mom's words, "No more love stories for Kara until Matt comes home!" Haha
And I could totally see you two laughing your butts off trying to put a fire of clothes out! You crack me up!!
I am ROLLING over you throwing Mitch's shirt and it catching on fire. Honestly. I was cracking up at work and had to tell a coworker and we both agree that that sort of thing only happens on movies.
That reminds me of when Dan almost lit our beach house on fire on our wedding night. The smell of burnt eyebrows will always remind me of our honeymoon. Glad the fire wasn't too serious...
Haven't seen the movie but I agree with the box of chocolates. THAT is why I get a whole lb box of mint truffles so as not to get a nasty one. (I love Jim Gaffigan...Hot pockets). Glad you aren't homeless.
