So, with my highly professional job, I underwent a 90 day probationary period (which ended earlier this month) so I am no entitled to my ONE paid personal day of the YEAR. Seriously? I feel like that is incredibly lame. Am I crazy? Shouldn't we have at least 12 PPD in a year? I mean, at least one a month. Sheesh.

Well, seeing as how I put in my notice on the 9th to quit my job on the 27th, I figured I should take my ONE precious PPD. Too bad I only have less than a week left of work, lol! Well, Curren decided to ask his mom if I could take Monday (yesterday) off so we could go to Richmond. She said yes, and we were off!

We did all kinds of fun stuff around town, without having an actual schedule. We saw a Shakespearean parody. It's called "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)". I'd seen it a few years back when I was in London, but I remembered loving it, so we saw it. It was just as hilarious as I remember. Basically the show consists of 3 men performing ALL of the bard's plays in a single setting. If you ever get the chance to see it, I strongly advise you to do so.

We also went to the Civil War Museum, the VA War Memorial and walked the canal since the boats don't operate Monday thru Thursday. Lame.

We shared some light meals at a few restaurants bc we couldn't decide where to eat. We had black bean soup at a place called The Strawberry Cafe; a veal sandwich and chilled tomato soup at a French place called Can Can; banana coconut ice cream (me) and blackberry sorbet (him, but I stole some) at Crossroads Ice Cream and Coffee; loaded potato soup and fish &chips at an Irish pub called Sine (shine-uh).

Another good weekend :o)
