Eat It, Too

[ateolf]

My manager'd given me the blessing to get off early yesterday, but then a bunch of stuff kept coming up from different directions in the afternoon and I wasn't able to. Oh well. Mary Beth and I did another walk after work. After dinner she had a whim of craving for cake so we drove out to Lucchesi's. Online it said they close at 8, but we got there at 7 on the dot and they were closing! But they were nice and let me run in and grab it real quick and I grabbed the cake real quick and went back home to eat it, nick of time! We ate it watching The Simpsons. We were watching a disc from the seventh season and the episodes towards the end were skipping more and more, leaving a couple unwatchable (including stone-cold classics like A Fish Called Selma and Bart on the Road). Then we tried another disc from the same season and that wouldn't even load! Pissing me off quite a bit as I keep my discs in the case and don't get them scratched up or anything. We finished up by switching to another season (but that season's so good and I want to watch those episodes!). Later at night I finished reading The Quest for Christa T. by Christa Wolf and it was good. Then Mary Beth finished reading to me Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown. Now I have today off and we slept in. Nice start!
