My mother was visiting for a few days, so my husband and I actually (gasp) went out on a date last night! We saw In Bruges at this movie theatre that I swear hasn't been updated for at least forty years, probably longer. It was great! The movie is fantastic, even with the bit at the end that reminds me of the Rigor Mortis group image. (GROSS.)

The weather has turned absolutely beautiful. I overdid it the other day, though. At lunch I took a walk in the cemetery near my office, and got sunburnt! Oops. Cemeteries are the most relaxing places in the world. I know I want to be cremated, but I want some kind of marker for my descendants to visit. How do you pick an epitaph, anyway? I worry that it would end up like my high school yearbook ... highly embarrassing!

On Wednesday night I leave for Chicago. I'm getting a ride to Buffalo, then taking the train. It should be fun. I haven't been in a couple of years, and it'll be good to see my friends again.

I really need to finish the strawberries. They're all on sale, everywhere, right now. I guess they're in season! But I got these on Friday, and they must be eaten tonight. I've got yogurt and a banana to mix in with them. Mmmm, smoothie.
