So, my birthday was yesterday. As is customary, I had the day off. I didn’t do anything particularly interesting–mostly errands–but I did manage a nap and some knitting. The best surprise was running into Jake at Giant Eagle, where he was buying me flowers for my birthday–such a sweetie! The three of us also went out to dinner at Franklin Street Bar & Grill. Previously, we celebrated my birthday (and my brother’s) with my family over Memorial Day weekend. So, I guess that’s it till next year.

Esme got a little cut on one of her foot pads and had been limping for a few days, so Brian took her to see the vet yesterday afternoon. The cut was slightly infected so she was put on a course of antibiotics and was also given some pain medication. She’s doing better already. Hopefully we’ll be able to exercise her again soon because she’s starting to get pretty wound up.

This book was written by Anne Rice. It was about a contract killer that turned into a helper to guardian angels. Uh huh. I think she should stick to vampire stories.
My rating: 2/5
sold!
We sold our rental house as of Monday. Finally. I had a love/hate relationship with that place. It was nice to have the income (though once you figure in taxes, upkeep, insurance, etc., it didn’t amount to that much), but I always hated dealing with potential renters. And, it seemed that things were getting worse in that regard–we’d get a lot of applications from Philly and NY from people who did not have jobs. Hmm. Anyway, it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about and to also be one step closer to building our own house. Now, if only we could find a plot of land that we both agree on…

This movie was based on the true story of a group of wildfire firefighters. It had one bummer of an ending, so if you’re not into that sort of thing, you’ll want to skip this one. On the plus side, it had firefighters.
My rating: 3.5/5
