We just needed to go to a couple stores to pick up little things, folders for organizing the bills in my desk, picture frames for some lithographs that I had kept packed away for years, dishtowels forthe kitchen. I don&#8217;t really like shopping, but the thought that our place would be so much nicer after having all these things made it a little better.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards we headed out to our favorite sushi place. We hadn&#8217;t been there in over six months because we began cutting back on how often we eat out. The dinner was amazing as always! We each got a Sapporo (a Japanese beer) and dined on seaweed salad, sashimi (sushi without the rice), and a couple yummie rolls. Then for dessert we had cheesecake, which was very good of course. I felt so good after that meal, it was a great Valentine&#8217;s Day (+1) dinner.<\/p>\n<p>By the time we got home it was after six. We unpacked all the shopping bags, put away our newly aquired items, and I headed upstairs to the computer room to start organizing stuff with my new folders and putting pictures in their frames. I&#8217;m lucky Michael is so understanding about my crazy fascination with Disney cartoons and Star Wars! I framed three of my Disney lithographs, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/lionkinglithograph.jpg\">The Lion King<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/sleepingbeautylithograph.jpg\">Sleeping Beauty<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/toystorylithograph.jpg\">Toy Story<\/a>, and then put them around the room. It&#8217;s so nice to finally have a place for these. The lithographs came when I pre-purchased the videos from the Disney Store, they&#8217;ve been packed away since I bought them since I never had an appropriate place to put them, and a quick google search for buying them tells me that they run $25-40 each these days, pretty nice since the whole purchase price for the video+lithograph+extra thing (usually plastic watch) was $30 originally.<\/p>\n<p>There are still boxes all around the computer room, we might go out this weekend and purchase a small bookshelf for our computer books, and maybe for displaying some of my toys. I&#8217;m trying to figure out what to do with all the Star Wars toys, back when I lived with my parents my bedroom was covered from wall to wall with toys and posters, in fact, I have pictures (1999): <lj-cut><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/MyImages\/Photos\/bedroom\/pl2sswsshelf.jpg\" alt=\"Disney and Star Wars shelves\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/MyImages\/Photos\/bedroom\/pl2sshelf.jpg\">Corner with shelves and more stuff<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/images\/MyImages\/Photos\/bedroom\/pl2scomputer.jpg\">Computer Desk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/center><br \/>\nMan, I loved that room. I still have a lot of this stuff, but I&#8217;m looking for a better way to display it all, especially those boxed toys. It&#8217;d be ashame to forever keep them packed away, what&#8217;s the fun in that?<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a fairly typical monday. I&#8217;m starting a new project at work and that seems to be going fine so far.<\/p>\n<p>Today I didn&#8217;t want to get out of bed, I&#8217;ve been so tired. We&#8217;ve been quite busy everyday, especially on our crazy weekends lately. I&#8217;m sure the cold weather hasn&#8217;t helped any, and this new commute to work means we leave at 6 am, while it&#8217;s still dark, and get homearound 5pm when it&#8217;s dark.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s it for now, I have work to do *wanders off*<\/p>\n<p><\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday we decided to head out to do some shopping before dinner.
