A Light Through the Darkness

beard5 and I had a BLAST today!!! Today, of course, is further proof that we should not be allowed out with money and without chaperones.

First, we went to the mall (yay!) and had fun in FYE. He traded in a bunch of CDs for DVDs, and I found Muppets DVDs on sale for Miss Maggie's 2nd birthday (Kermit: The Swamp Years; The Muppets Take Manhattan; Muppets from Space - all for $9.99!) Breakfast was picked up at the Amazon Cafe - a Citrus Smoothie for me, and an Ultimate Coffee Smoothie for beard5, of course.

Then it was off to the Concord Library. I got a new library card and information on the Writer's Group that meets in the library, and then, the Circulation desk gave me potentially deadly news.

"So, are there any limits to what I can take out at a time?" I asked.

"Well, you can only take out 5 DVDs at once, 5 Books on CD or Tape at once," she said cheerfully.

"What about books?"

"Oh, there's no limit on books."

OH BABY!!! I only walked out with 5 this time. :D But I didn't make it into the fiction section. And I can browse the catalog online. I foresee lots of new books coming into my life.

Next stop was Morimoto's. Sushi!!! I had a $50 gift cheque from work, and we spent ALL of it! Two bento boxes (I've never had a bento box - it was huge!!!), and five rolls, including a squash roll that I liked but he didn't, and a plum sauce and cucumber roll that he liked but I wasn't crazy about. We had a dragon roll and a rusty roll that was to die for. I had shumai and gyoza for the first time, and a bit of my california roll. Needless to say, we took a lot of food home. I haven't even mentioned the tempura and the chicken teriyaki he had in his...

And then, we went to Payless Shoes. (Yes, we did this all before I went to work.) They're having a Buy One, Get One 1/2 Off sale, so I picked up a pair of black work shoes (chunky, with a heel, but uber-comfortable) and then beard5 found the cutest pair of purple plaid flats. I had to get them. I'll get a picture to post later tonight. Then I got purple plaid socks and white socks with skulls and vines on them (yes, I'm a freak. Leave me alone). Then we finally went to drop him off at home and I went to work.

So now, I'm sitting here in purple plaid socks and vibrating because I love wasabi soooo much that it hypes me up. :D My poor cubemate.
