Hot and sunny, cold at night.

This morning I did something unusual. When I made the bed, I put our blankets on it as well as the towelkets. It's getting quite cold at night and the towelket isn't quite enough anymore. It was a bit strange doing it, but better than being cold. I also got up in time to watch the news this morning, and drink some of F's lovely coffee.

I had a relaxing morning around the apartment. I didn't even get dressed until the afternoon. Don't you love days off? Me too! But I did change finally and around 3 pm decided to go out. I biked off to the post office first to make a payment and to mail off a bookmooch to Canada. Then I went on to the mall.

At the mall, I had a quite nice lunch at the restaurant upstairs. The snotty waitress wasn't there, so I enjoyed myself a lot more. I had pasta and then dessert. I was hoping it was bread pudding. It wasn't, but it was a bit like it, more like French toast with pudding in it. I hacked around the stores but didn't buy too much. A few things in the 100 yen shop, and a packet of English Muffins at the grocery store. I had a nice tea in Doutors and wrote about a page of my column. I think I need to rewatch some of these films pronto.

I realized it would be dark soon, so I biked off home. Hubby was going to be working late tonight, so I didn't have to rush off on his behalf, but I didn't want to ride home in the dark. I got home rather quickly and watched a bit of TV and played computer games. He called me around 9:30 and came home soon after.

We went out for dinner to New York, New York. It was okay. I had chicken, my usual! We had a nice chat and then came home via the grocery store. Despite F saying I didn't have to cook tomorrow night, I ended up buying food for us. More chicken! What can I say? I like chicken!

It was after 11:30 before we got home, and F went to bed very soon afterwards. I did more internetting and reading of Eclipse. Parts of it are well done, but they are strung together with little bits of tedium that drive me up the wall. But, it's readable.

Anyway, that's it for me. I'm back to work tomorrow night, and I should go to the post office again to send off another bookmooch. I'm the only person who is willing to part with The Last Lecture. My copy is going off to Ireland. Night!

Seems the biggest difference in our days is that you get to eat out a whole lot more! I love eating out, so I'm jealous.

mooching too I see! I'll have to borrow Eclipse off you so I can complain about it too

We do eat out a lot, but most of it is because I work late. Funnily enough, last night it was because F worked late.

Sadly, I can't lend you Eclipse because it isn't mine. I borrowed it (and all the others except Twilight) from a friend. You'll want to borrow New Moon first though!

Thanks for stopping by!
