Sorry I've been behind...

This last week at work has been crazy! I have three books going to print in a two-week span, so yeah, it's kind of hectic! That's ok, though; I actually prefer it that way because then the week just flies by. Oh, and I've been happily adjusting to my new corner office, complete with windows :)

We had a really fun Valentine's Day weekend. On Friday, Tracy, Kirsti and I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar live at the Overture Center. We were excited that it finally came to Madison, since the last two times we saw it, we had to venture down to Milwaukee. It was really good, as always, but we did have to admit that it might be time for Ted Neely to hang up his hat...or robe, so to speak. The first year we saw it, he was 63, and I was amazed that he sounded exactly like he did in the movie, which was made in 1973 when he wasn't even 30 years old! Dan and I said that he only slipped into "Grandpa Jesus" mode once. Last year it was getting a little more obvious, and this year, it was fully apparent that he's 65. So, it's probably time he quits, since he's 32 years older than the real Jesus was supposed to be at the time of his death. But all in all, it was still fun.

On Saturday, Dan surprised me with dinner at the Ocean Grill for Valentine's Day, and that was a lot of fun. We'd been there before, but only for breakfast when we go to the Farmer's Market. Their food was excellent. I had the lobster, while Dan opted for seabass (which I had never had before, but it was quite good!) The restaurant handed out red flowers to all the women, so that was a nice touch.

Sunday, we saw the movie The Reader, which was very well-made (and I love Kate Winslet) but rather sad. Tuesday we went to see Coraline, which was excellent, but we were disappointed because the website and newspaper listed it as 3D, but when we got there, they said that was incorrect, and it wasn't going to start in 3D until this weekend. But, we had driven out to Fitchburg since it wasn't showing at the theatre by our house, so we decided to stay and see it, and we ended up liking it a lot.

I'm not sure what we'll do this weekend; I kind of want to see Defiance or Rachel Getting Married, so we'll see what Dan thinks. There's also this really good (and really cheap) new Italian restaurant right by my office called Bellitalia, so maybe we'll hit that up for dinner.

Dan leaves for San Diego on Sunday for a business trip, which sucks (well, sucks for me; it'll be fun for him, especially since he loves warm weather!) That's the main reason we're not going to see Uninvited this weekend; the last thing I need to do before my husband leaves for two nights is see a scary movie!
