Dinner, Apocalypse and a Movie

Last Wednesday, we celebrated my birthday by going out to dinner at an Indian restaurant. We had delicious vindaloo and naan and frozen mango drinks. At the end of the meal, a huge lightning storm erupted over the area and there were lots of close strikes and high winds. We made our way home around several detours including downed trees and transformer fires on telephone poles! We'd been planning to go see a movie after dinner, but decided that we'd better go home because of the storm and check on the pets. Fortunately, things were a lot calmer at home and since the atmosphere settled down, we decided to go to the late showing of the movie after all. We saw The Devil Wears Prada and loved it! So, other than the scary storm, it was a great birthday.

At Barnes and Noble the next day, I bought a paperback copy of The Devil Wears Prada to read it and compare it to the movie. The book was slightly different, but also very entertaining! Since I liked that book, I picked up the author's other book, Everyone Worth Knowing, and read that over the weekend. I thought it was also good, despite its not so stellar reviews on Amazon. I don't usually read 'chic-lit', but these two books were good, light summer reading.

I'm still working on the right front of Tulips. I was distracted from knitting over the past few days by the books, but will work hard on it today.

I'm a little behind with my blogging and have a bunch more to talk about. I'll write another post soon and have some pics too!
