Today is Ashleigh’s 23rd birthday. She officially has the power to kick butt and take names today.
Yesterday, as we all know, was V-day. I got Ashleigh a couple of cards and a box of chocolates, and she got me some chocolates, a card, and a cute little teddy bear. We ordered Chinese takeout, delivered of course, opened a bottle of wine, and watched DVR’d television.
Tonight, we’re going to see Definitely, Maybe and grab some dinner wherever Ashleigh wants to eat. She hasn’t really decided yet, and if she doesn’t figure it out soon, then I’m choosing.
I got her a new phone for her birthday, a Blackberry Curve 8310. She’s been fighting with her 3 year old Razr for awhile, and it was time to give her something that will last for awhile. She’s been playing with it like a toy ever since she got it. Nothing feels better than splurging on my wife and getting her something she really wants.
Have a great weekend!
It’s Super Tuesday, Oklahomans! Get out there and vote!
School’s steadily getting busier. I’m taking two upper-division history classes, American Revolution and Contemporary China, and these classes have heavy reading assignments. Both classes assigned 5 books each for reading, and nightly I’ve been attempting to read 2 chapters from at least 2 per class. My eyes are getting overworked.
Bill Clinton was a keynote speaker for a political forum at OU Wednesday. I didn’t go due to schedule conflicts, but from the people I’ve spoken to, Clinton delivered another terrific speech. Of course, his purpose was to campaign for Hillary to the state of Oklahoma, and since Oklahoma only holds 7 delegates in the electoral college and is a strong Republican state, Hillary decided not to make the trip herself. Other presidential candidates have visited recently, including Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, and OU held a political forum with speakers, including NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg, in early January.
Oklahoma holds its primary on Super Tuesday, which is Tuesday, Feb. 5. I’ll be sure to vote; make sure you vote, too.
Time to go play Army for the weekend.
