"like hands joined together"
Jan. 15th, 2011 04:42 pmSo, that was a fairly exhausting half-day. Good, but exhausting.
Because my boss is pretty much awesome, I could take Friday afternoon off for various "appointments." I left work shortly before noon and stopped in at B&N to see if they had Jo Walton's latest. They did, so I put half my gift card to good use.
I then met![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
uilos for lunch (conveyor-belt sushi FTW) and we tried to buy silk long underwear (stupid Bean) and succeeded at buying jewelry from my favorite store in Tysons. We then popped up to Rockville to complete the paper portion of Not-So-Secret Project Paper, which was a lot less hassle than I'd been afraid it would be. Afterwards we drove home and I napped for half an hour or so, and then we headed out to Dupont Circle so I could get myself my NaNoWriMo prize.
We had some amazing cupcakes at Hello Cupcake, and then stopped in at Kramer Books fully intending to just look around. I think we ended up spending around $50 each. At least I now have a copy of A.J. Ayer's Language, Truth, and Logic, which more or less demolishes pie-in-the-sky metaphysical arguments, and a history of the Bach cello suites, among other things. Dinner was at the attached cafe, and made my mouth very happy indeed.
I then paid an awful lot of money and spent an hour or so in agony, and then we went home and collapsed. ( So what happened? )
