My mouse died the day after Valentine's day. I think he is the first pet who I miss like I would miss a person--the apartment is so empty without him.
Aaron came home the next day, which was great because I don't know what I would've done otherwise, but I was pretty sad on and off the whole time he was here. It was better after I made a list, so I wouldn't have to worry about forgetting any of the cool things mousie-poo did.

Me and Aaron did a bunch of stuff this weekend. It's all a (mostly freezing cold) blur and for right now, I can't really remember what we did day by day. For Valentine's day he got me checkerboard vans! and a DVD set of All-American Girl, that hilarious early-90s sitcom with Margaret Cho in it. And I got him Rise of Nations for Apple so he'd have a staple game to play.
On Thursday it was so warm it felt like summer, and we ate lunch at Player's around 4 pm, and it felt like we'd travelled back in time to last year.
Then, the rest of the weekend was freezing cold.
We watched Brokeback Mountain at the Drafthouse which was unexpectedly romantic, and made nighttime runs to HEB for queso stuff and alcohol we didn't drink, and rented Saw II. Ate at Dog Almighty (stuffed ourselves both times), ate at Chili's.
Also we went to Waterloo, and Town Lake Animal Shelter to look at the animals. We went for the first time on Saturday, and saw this little pug mix puppy that seemed awesome, and then, on Sunday, we trekked about a mile in the freezing cold across the river on a bridge because some marathon blocked up the street we needed to turn on, to see the puppy again and sign up to try to adopt her. But someone else is first in line, so we might not get her. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and I guess we weren't really on the market for a puppy, but somehow, this one makes all the inconveniences (pet deposit for only 3 more months at my apt., adoption fee, where me and Aaron will be next year, etc.) worth it. And Aaron loves her too. So that's good. We shall name her Mystery or Zero if we get her. (i really hope we do.)

And then today, I gave Aaron a haircut, and then gave myself one that he evened out.

So that's it for now, more later maybe.
I can't wait to get married--it will be like a never-ending sleepover.
