sherron0Mark took off work today so we could spend the day together.
It was easy. He spent Valentine's in a cave. When he asked if that was okay, I told him, "Sure. Just, I want you to take off work Wednesday for our anniversary." He very readily agreed. He'd much rather take a day off work than a day off caving! lol
I slept late and woke up to hot tea. I had to do a little "work" today, some editing, some chatting to my boss about my upcoming new job (more later), and some of that around the house stuff: call in refills, feed the fish, etc. I did that while he was at church for Ash Wednesday services.
Then we headed off towards Nashville. We ate a really late lunch at Moe's Southwest grill. meh. It was y first time; Mark's eaten there before and liked it. I can eat there and like it okay, but I'll never go there on my own.
Then McKAY'S Used Books and more. I love that store. It's gigantic, and what you wish all used bookstores were like. Back when I was in college they were just getting started up in Knoxville. Now several expansions there, they've expanded out to Chattanooga and Nashville. They have a website: http://mckaybooks.com/about/ Mark's been looking for a large print bible and finally found one there, and a few other books I was very well behaved and only bought two reference books. My TBR pile is now TWO long shelves.
Then we hit Best Buy and got Mark another camera. (Remember, I killed the last on in Mexico. However, the other 5 that he killed, not my fault.)
He gave me my gift at home this morning. He got me a beautiful new ring. Exquisitely engraved gold and diamonds. I'll try to post a picture.
Now we're at home, relaxing with a glass of wine. Really nice day.
