Yesterday was an amazing day. I spent the morning with the kids and Sean, and then at 12pm it was MY day. Sean handed me $20 and told me to "go have a cup of coffee on me!" So, I went to Borders for the afternoon while he took the kids to a birthday party. (Why didn't I go? It was for the kids of the girl I would rather pretend is not on the planet with me so he offered to take them himself. I could have been a "bigger person" and gone, but the fact of the matter is that I've decided it's okay to do what's right for me vs. what etiquette tells me to do! I'm done with trying to be polite and take shit from people when I don't deserve it.)

Anyway, I went to the book store and wandered through the spirituality and religion sections to see what they had. I was annoyed at first because they have Science of the Mind and things like Eckhart Tolle in the Metaphysics section (?) and their sections on non-Western religion was pretty sparce, but I managed to come away with a collection I've wanted for a while, and another book that I've seen over 5 times now so I bought it for no other reason then I figured there was a reason I've seen it so much!

From there I picked up a Pure Inspiration Magazine, a peppermint mocha coffee, and spent the next 2 hours reading through that, making notes, and thinking. I found a lot of great quotes, had some ideas, and felt completely refreshed and inspired again.

From there I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond where I picked up some Christmas presents for Ian's teacher and for Sean, plus got the replacement steamer to replace the one that I melted on Friday night. Then I called my Mom and we went for a lazy lunch at Ballyhoo Grill.  I had a yummy Oyster Po'Boy and a few beers, and then we went to Tuesday Morning where I completed my Christmas shopping for the kids.

I came home around 5:30pm, hung out with the kids while Sean picked up Sushi, then it was time for us to eat and watch a movie.

It was a great day! Other than Ian's strange 102 fever at midnight, it was probably one of the best days I've had in a long time... for my spiritual self anyway ;-)
