On top of Cracker Barrel and Iron Chef Japanese Steakhouse yesterday, I ate about a half a can of wasabi soy almonds (OMG, those things rock) and of course the double-chocolate ice cream cake from Coldstone, which we got for Keith's birthday

Read a book in print for fifteen minutes every day.
Goal met. One of these days I'll actually finish "Silhouette in Scarlet" by Elizabeth Peters.

Also on the entertainment front, Keith and I went to the movies, and the dude at the counter highly recommended "Zombieland" as an A+ comedy. At the opening scene, with melodramatic sprays of blood and stringy intestinal organs flying everywhere, we worried that it would be as stupid as "Tropic Thunder," the movie we watched about a week ago on DVD. Understand that we rarely watch movies together; our entertainment consists mostly of football, with the occasional "So You Think You Can Dance" (which Abby loves), and Sponge Bob episodes with Blaine in the morning. So to watch two dud movies in a row, especially on Keith's birthday, would have been an utter disappointment. During the opening credits, I gave it ten minutes before I planned to march back out and demand tickets to a different show. Fortunately, "Zombieland" started to get funny, ramping up with the appearance of Woody Harrelson. The twist when the sisters arrived on the scene surprised me (although, I haven't seen the trailer to know whether it hinted at the twist.) It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but I definitely enjoyed it.
