I left for work much earlier than usual, because we were planning on a movie that evening with friends. At work, the staff tried to throw a surprise birthday party for me and for one of the staff, whose special day was a couple of days earlier than mine. It was pleasant, and someone in the office gave me a Barnes & Noble gift card, which I promptly overspent. I'll post about those books, later.
Home, and
forestcats was putting up the peach butter. OMG, it's so good! Then, we were off to the movies.We caught Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I generally enjoyed, though I'll have to say this one thing: "teenage angst". I still prefer the first and third movies, but the overall quality of the series remains, so, I now await the final film. (And then, there's the question of whether or not Hollywood will let it be final...)
We tried to go get some dinner afterwards, as Kathy and Bill returned home to their little one, but they roll up the sidewalks in this neighborhood after ten PM, so we ended up finally at Applebee's. I had enough to eat to quell the beast in my belly, as did my beloved, and we returned home to doze off.
