Love.

It's just a simple four letter word, but what all does it mean?

I was thinking about this today in class while I was waiting for my meringue, among other things, to finish. What I came up with was this.

Love is...

... being able to care for that someone even when they're mad at you beyond all reason.

... telling everyone you know how much you want to be with that someone even when you just told them the day before.

... not being able to see yourself with anyone else five, ten, twenty years down the road.

... thinking about someone everyday, and wondering if they're thinking about you, too.

... finding a connection between you and someone else in everything you do.

... watching those cute love movies and seeing you and that someone in the movie instead.

... letting that someone mess up your hair but you keep it that way all day just because they like it.

... giving that someone a back massage until they almost fall asleep, but tickle them just to wake them up and kiss them.

... doing anything and everything you can to make that someone smile.

... driving ten hours through a snow storm just to be with that someone.

... waiting up till 3 in the morning just to call that someone and tell them goodnight and sleep sweet.

... doing things that you might not like just to see that someone smile and having a good time.

... making that someone mix cd's that relate to every month you've been together.

... everything.

And I just want to let my girlfriend know that I love her to death and this is just a short list of what all I came up with.

I love you, baby!

So this morning I was awoken to my roommate talking on his phone after I only had gotten about 5 hours I sleep. I didn't feel that great but I went ahead and got up anyways because I wanted to shower and get ready for class so I could talk to my girlfriend before I left. We were able to talk for about half an hour and it was nice.

In class I finished garnishing my Charlotte Royal and presented it to Chef. I ended up getting a 192 out of 200. *yay*

But after class things didn't go too well. I went shopping with hopes to talk to Carolynn after I was done. But while I was at Walmart I got a text from Nicole, who I use the internet from. She asked me if I could go with her to the hospital because she has a strong fear of them. For the past two weeks her jaw has been hurting pretty bad and this morning she couldn't close it all the way, sure sign of lock jaw. She told Marcia about this during class and Marcia told her that she needed to go to a hospital and have it looked at. Well, she asked around and couldn't find anyone to go with her. Two of her roommates left town for the weekend and the third had work. Marcia had work at midnight so she needed to sleep after class. So I told her I could thinking it wouldn't take that long, an hour tops. Turns out it took two hours for x-rays and what not and she only had a sprained jaw, so she needs to eat nothing but soft foods for the next 2 weeks and take some ivprofin (spelling?).

Well, my girlfriend got dissapointed because we couldn't talk and told me she was going to bed. I didn't want that but I let her go to bed. Later, I was talking to my roommate and we decided to walk to the gas station so he could get some smokes. Right after I left I get a text from my girlfriend asking if I'm still awake. Turns out she wants to talk now. I tell her we can when I get back in fifteen minutes. Turns out I can't predict time and she gets mad at me again for this and 2 MINUTES before I get home she tells me that's she going to bed again.

I'm sorry that I'm not perfect and I can't predict time, but 2 MINUTES!? I seriously think you could've waited for me and we could've talked. I know I would've. But that's just me.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm pissed off. I'm not pissed, just irritated.
