Remember last week when I said that I only leave the house once or twice a week now? Well, that day was today, so things worth blogging about actually occurred.
I started the day by watching General Hospital, which is notable because Luke and Tracy got married! They're pretty much my only OTP on the show right now, since all the other couples are either too boring or too annoying to mesmerize my attention. They all have their fair share of drama, yes, but none of them have the charm of Luke and Tracy.

After lunch, I went to 2nd and Charles and dropped off seven books. I could have sold them a lot more, but paperbackswap.com is a much better deal for used books. However, if my copy is at the end of a waiting list of more than one hundred, obviously it's not going to be requested any time soon; hence my decision to sell some to 2nd and Charles. I knew I'd get $10 at the most - I actually got $7.50 - but the money's not important. Mostly I just need the shelf space, and it is a relief to know that one-third of my "to-get-rid-of" pile is gone.
After I sold my books, I went to Barnes and Noble to meet some friends. It's the first time that all five of us got together in at least two months, so we had a great time catching up. Josh and Danielle compared horror stories from teaching History 101 (my favorite? the guy who didn't realize he was in History 101 until December 1st...he genuinely thought it was an upper-level course), Josh and Jacob compared awkward stories of being hit on by male waiters, Danielle and I gushed about Josh Groban, and we all complained about our families. We ate dinner at Firebirds, a restaurant I've never been to, but it was soooo tasty. Fresh bread for everyone, spinach lobster queso and tortilla chips as an appetizer, and my crab cakes were perfect.
On a side note, I find it hard to believe that Christmas is two days away and that 2011 is just around the corner. Since I've been unemployed since May, I didn't buy anybody presents this year, which has seriously reduced my amount of holiday spirit. I think tomorrow I'll spend tomorrow watching Christmas movies and specials to better get me in the mood.
