The Mr. and I ended up braving the snow to make our dinner reservation on Valentines Day. The food was delicious, so it was totally worth it.

THANK YOU. I've heard nasty rumors of why Robin Wright left him as well. I am so bummed out that he took Charlize Theron fell for his outward charms.

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight is a gem of a song.

The end of our relationship was a withering death march. We kept hanging out with together even though we hated each other (but would never say so). He felt comfortable telling me that so he wouldn't actually have to say "I hate your fucking guts and I never want to see you again".

NOPE. Fuck that shit.

I hear that.
