Chilling Out Tonight

Today has been a decent enough day. We went out to eat for a work birthday and I had a delicious grilled chicken salad. It was a pleasant surprise as the restaurant used to stink. They changed owners and everything about it is better now. I'm also happy to report that the carrot cake I made last night was delicious and everyone loved it. I have to quit doing that. The better I bake, the more I get asked to. SIGH!

I also went to the book store to order a new book for Jason and ended up buying 4 books for myself and 2 books for my craft swap partner. It was a little difficult to buy for her as I wasn't sure what to get, but I found two books that I read recently and LOVED. I won't post them here, just in case she happens to read this, but I hope that she hasn't read them and that she'll enjoy them.

I bought Girl With A Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, What's A Christian To Do With Harry Potter by Connie Neal and The Color Purple by Alice Walker for myself. I don't know when I'll ever get to reading them considering I'm half done with Bless Your Heart, Tramp: And Other Southern Endearments by Celia Rivenbark and have Transgressions by Sarah Dunant (one of my new favorite authors) waiting as well. They're from booksfree.com and take precedence over the others so that I can mail them back ASAP. I also have the two books that my swap partner sent me to read. I need help. This is definitely a borderline addiction.

After work I'm planning on jogging and hitting the heavy bag for a bit. We're having leftovers for dinner and are going to lay on the couch and watch The Addam's Family on ABC Family tonight. I also have to finish crafting for my swap partner so that I can send tomorrow and then I'll move on to the other two swaps I've signed up for. That may be an addiction as well. I'll get back to you on that one!
