An Update

Actually, we ended up not going to the movies last weekend. Instead, we went out to eat at Red Lobster--a belated birthday/anniversary dinner--and then we went shopping. DH wanted to go to a sporting goods store and I wanted to go to the local Borders bookstore. I ended up buying three books, because they were buy 2 get one free ("Lolita" by Nabokov; "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien; and "The Handmaid's Tale" by Atwood). In addition, the store was have a sale on its bound journals. I bought two of the large 8½ x 11 books (similar to this, only they said "Journal" on the cover and had lined pages) for a dollar each! Apparently they hadn't sold well. After I carried them around the store for awhile, I realized why: they are heavy! I should have purchased the whole stack.

So now I'm on a journal/book fast: not allowed to buy anymore blank books or reading books until I've read/used the ones I have. :)

The week has been busy with work and such. DH got a letter this week from one of his old co-workers telling him that another of their co-workers was given 3 months to live. He was diagnosed with cancer in May. He was a groomsman in our wedding and is our age. Hearing this news certainly put things into perspective.

Life is too short to spend living in the past or the future. Now is all we have. Life is way too short.

TGIF!
