My day off!

Today was great. Normally, it would have been nothing unusual... But
my life is so far from normal right now that I almost forgot what it
was.

Not to get into crazy detail (though I will in private if anyone
cares) but my life has been a whirlwind of insanity and energy
recently. A new person has entered our life and has turned it upside
down. Nothing terrible, but so strange. I haven't seem my husband much
either, because he is always off saving the world and bailing out his
friends. I love him, but I miss him!

I got him all to myself today! We went to the new Pogo's, in East
Bridgewater. This is definitely the best Pogo's of the three... But
that is for a Yelp review. We got great omlettes and coffee and
yummmmm! I've been on a very strict diet with one cheat day a week, so
this was amazing for me.

It's so hot out today, so we poked around in a few stores. We went to
Dick's Sporting Goods and looked at kayaks (<3) and went to Bed, Bath
and Beyond to use our gift certificate that we got for our wedding
(thanks Dave!!!).

We looked around the whole store, and Mikey found a canopy! And not
the crappy kind that hangs from a circle, the nice kind that you hang
from the ceiling. It was white though, and they had no other colors.

Polyester doesn't take dye well, but anything would be better than
white. We found "dark brown" dye, and it did dye it, a bit. It turned
a gorgeous light violet... I love it!

Mikey cooked delicious scallops for the first time, they came out
great. Definitely worth the money. I'm currently sipping some wine
(okay, gulping) and watching Hell's Kitchen as the canopy is drying.
Today was so wonderful and peaceful! I love my life. This day was
exactly what I needed. Tomorrow it's back to the Stone, but for
tonight, I'm in heaven.
