A Really Great Day

Today has been (as the title suggests) a really great day. I haven't done anything that is amazingly exciting or anything, but today has been probably the least stressful day in the whole month of September. (Yes, I know there were a lot of days I enjoyed in September, but with the lingering stresses of the move and going back to work, even those good days had complications.)

Today started with a phone call to my sister Hope (after I woke up at 8:45--yay sleeping in!), who suggested that we meet for breakfast at Panera before we headed for the book sale half price day. Over yummy bagels (I highly recommend the French toast bagel with honey-walnut cream cheese) and orange juice, we exchanged gossip and caught up on each others' lives. Then we went to Target to get scrapbook supplies so that she can make a scrapbook of her honeymoon pictures. From there, we found our way to Magnuson and hit the book sale, finding another stack of fun-sounding books. We stopped back by Michael's and my place to drop off the books, and Michael had finally managed to get out of bed. By then, we were hungry again, so we had a bowl of homemade chicken soup with him while we showed him our loot from the book sale. Next, Hope and I headed to the mall to print the honeymoon pictures. Hope dropped me off back here around 2:00, and Michael and I took a nap. Yes, an actual nap. In the middle of the afternoon! When we got up, we popped some leftover pizza in the microwave and settled down to watch not just one but two silly movies. Michael is now taking a soothing bedtime shower, and I'm about to curl up with a book until he gets out, then we're going to bed early. Talk about a luxurious day! Now, I just need about a week of days like this one...
