Jewellery and jobs

Went shopping for a tougher chain for the cross I gave Hubby for Valentine's. Instead of going to the mall close by, I drove about 20 minutes out to Chesterfield and got there just as the woman was putting out the trays of jewellery. Wandered off and waited,

Valentine's Day

It's a nice sunny day, I'm meeting Hubby for lunch, and we're going out to dinner tonight.

Important Dates

Why am I keeping this blog? I know a couple of people who are reading it (Iceland and UK show up in the web stats, so does Germany, though I'm fairly sure I don't know anyone there.) It's probably half development journal for Chronicle,

Discoveries

Today is a special day. The second day of the second month of the second year, 02/02/02. One good thing about having cable TV is the Discovery Channel. "There's always more to discover" is their slogan. And they're right. Just think, I
