My retail therapy this morning came in the form of books.  Thanks to my B&N card and several coupons, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  ;)  I got:

Roadkill by Rob Thurman \o/
The Midnight Mayor (Or, the Inauguration of Matthew Swift) by Kate Griffin
Death's Mistress by Karen Chance
Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs
Deadtown by Nancy Holzner

Stress has really just dampened my reading lately so I'm hoping to jump start it by reading new books in some of my favorite series.

Just got back from a relaxing afternoon at Lauren's - I made her Shrimp and Corn Chowder (actually, it's probably better called Shrimp and Leeks chowder...) as I've been wanting to cook for her at her place for some time now.  Speaking of cooking, this was the first time I've cooked since like the middle of the week previous.  I and my check book needed a break but, ironically, I spent more because I had few leftovers. -.- *sigh*

Anyway, I left the majority of the chowder with Lauren but took enough for lunch tomorrow.  The menu for this week will be:

Monday: Poached eggs with mushrooms and tomatoes
Tuesday: Taco's
Wednesday or Thursday: Meatloaf with Bacon
