Neither Dan nor I felt up to cooking on Friday so we decided to seek dinner out. We stopped by Gurnee Mills to check out the tripods at Micomp that stormdog had mentioned (alas, they only had the floor model left, and that was rather beat up), then got some dinner at the taquiera at one of the food courts (they make delicious quesadillas!). After dinner, and as the mall was closing, we headed across the street and bought our first new toy of the weekend

Just a quick entry
Just a couple of things before we sit down to rot our brains with Survivor…
ovrclokd started my day off with a gigglefit as I read the link she posted: I Has a Sweet Potato. No, it’s not a picture of an animal with cute, poorly-structured statements on it, it’s something that’s far funnier than that. Just click. Trust me.
Looks like we’re going up to Kettle Moraine State Park in Wisconsin. It’s still up in the air whether we’re going to the Southern Unit or the Northern Unit, but either way it should be a pleasant hike with some good company. I’m really looking forward to it.
A minor annoyance: when I was buying stamps yesterday I wanted to buy postcard stamps that I could use after the rate increase that goes into effect on Monday. They’d happily sell me several 100-stamp rolls of 24-cent postcard stamps…which won’t do me much good when the rate goes up to 26 cents. When I asked if they had any of the new 26-cent stamps, I was informed that they didn’t have any of those in stock. Gah! I understand that postcard stamps are in less demand, but it’s less than a week before the rate hike, and they don’t have the stamps in? Since when did the post office become a JIT operation?
There. I feel better 🙂
