Happy Valentine's Day

Feb 14, 2009 17:34

The weather today was gorgeous. We slept in rather late, but I had trouble falling asleep last night, so that makes sense. We then went out to Barnes and Noble (so my dearest could buy a gift for me) and had a nice late lunch at Chili's. We ran a few more errands and came home, and just exchanged gifts. He got me two books, both of which look like a lot of fun. One is Witchblade, Volume 1. A few years ago I bought the huge Compendium that collected issues 1 - 50. I unfortunately waited too long to get Volume 2, and it's out of print now. The one he got me today is traditional graphic novel size and collects issues 80-85. There are four more volumes in this series. The other was obviously a recommendation from dancer, Twyla Tharp: The Creative Habit, Learn it and Use it for Life. I'll probably read that one first, after I finish Darkspell, which I am currently reading. So probably tomorrow. :)

Speaking of books, I was a complete dunce and requested two of the Sherrilyn Kenyon novels from the library last week that I'd already read. The names are so blasted similar and I can't keep them straight. So I took those back today and picked up the correct next one from the library. I think it's the first one that's actually had a local copy. Apparently my area is too high class to read Sherrilyn Kenyon smut. The next couple have been requested too, and will probably arrive at our local branch early next week.

I didn't score any chocolate for V-Day, but I bought a bag of kisses for my hubby, and whether or not he wants to, he's going to end up sharing. :)

Tomorrow I believe we're going to an NEG general meeting at Bob's, and I made eye appointments for the both of us on Monday. My eyes continue to get worse, and I need a new pair of glasses. I'm wearing my contacts today. They were originally too strong for me, so now they're just about right. And my poor husband spends too much time staring at computer monitors and thinks his eyes are starting to go bad. Despite the fact that I've worn glasses since I was six, and it's bound to happen to everyone sooner or later, I still feel bad for him. Not being able to see sucks!

health, books, holidays
