Manic Monday #20

Manic Monday is back after a holiday break.

1. What was the last thing you regret buying?
   The second glass of wine with dinner on New Years Eve. But we hung around long enough that I decided to drink it anyway. And survived.
   


2. If you had a crystal ball that could tell you the truth about any one thing you wished to know about yourself, life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?
   When will I be pregnant?
   
   
3. How do you know when you're in love?
   Ah, funny you should ask. I was just thinking about this the other day.
   
   Before I met Shrike, I had been single and, I must admit, rather bitter about it, for several years. As you can imagine I became quite the not-a-fan of Valentine's Day.
   
   Ten years ago, Shrike and I were emailing and talking by phone, but had not yet met in person. A few days after Christmas, I walked into a mailing center (to send a package off to her - containing a mix tape, if I remember correctly) and saw that they had all their Valentine merchandise out already.
   
   When I realized that my immediate reaction was "Awww, Valentine's Day!" rather than "Ew, Valentine's Day!" I knew I that was screwed.
   
   A few weeks later - on Valentine's weekend, in fact - she came to visit me and we met in person for the first time. I was right.
