We had a very busy day around here so that is why the St. Patrick's Day well wishes are a day late. The girls went to my parents' house for a sleepover and Bob and I headed to downtown Portland for a book talk by Frank Warren who runs my favorite website Postsecretcom. If you haven't been there, go! People send him their secret on postcards. I love reading all of them and it makes me feel a little more normal every week.
The little part leprechaun I married likes his corned beef and cabbage so we went to McCormick and Schmicks for dinner. Bob talked me into not getting the chicken and pasta dish I have had there before and getting the Filet Mignon because that was what I really wanted. I could barely cut into it, it was a completely cremated cow on my plate. I sent it back and ordered the pasta instead.
After that I talked him in to just going and sitting in a few cars since we are starting to think about getting a smaller, earth friendly car. With gas up around $3 a gallon again and my 12 miles to the gallon beast that I drive, it is time. My top pick is a Toyota Prius, but I was also considering the Corolla or the Matrix. Our sales person was a really nice lady that reminded me of Bob's Aunt Sonja. I ended up driving the Prius and it was really nice. Of course on my test drive I got honked at and almost rear ended twice because I didn't want to hit and kill pedestrians. I will remember that a night where everyone is drunk on cheap green beer probably isn't the best night to drive a strange car.
We tried to go to a movie, but it was sold out at Cinetopia and when we went to the regular theaters, it was so overrun with teenagers that we decided we were too spoiled to go there and just went home and rented a movie.
All in all we were in bed before we usually go during the week! And Bob was up before the girls would have even been up to get us. I had visions of sleeping in late, but when you go to bed so darn early you don't need to sleep as late I guess.
