ladyofavalon77Why must we be open on the day after Christmas???? There are so many stores I want to hit and I can't because I'm working *scowls* We were pretty slow at work but I would rather be doing something...anything else! Fortunately, I got the early lunch so I could race over to the mall and grab some half off Pepperidge Farm food products. Their swiss cheese logs are pure heaven and I love their petit fours and so much more. Stocked right up and headed to the calendar/game shop for the two 24 games. And that's when I discovered I didn't have my driver's license so it was back out to the mall to find an ATM machine. Silly me forgot the right amount to take out and could only get one of the games *sighs* On the good side, I bought my brother a Star Wars version of Risk. Hopefully he'll like it! I never did get to Hallmark or the Disney Store *cries some more*
Time for more poetry. We're on #13 of The Greatest Love Poems of All Time and it's another classic! I so so SO think this poem was made for Martha Logan. She says at the airfield to Mike Novick in the deleted scene that she doesn't know what happened to Charles...that he used to be so idealistic...want to right every wrong and fight every evil. So when the poet says "I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be", I believe Martha would have agreed with him when she and Charles first started on the campaign trail. Just like falling in love for the first time, everything is seen through rose colored glasses and the one you love can do no wrong...
Last night I mainly spent organizing my hundreds of Martha/Charles icons into better folders. I still have 18 where I have no idea who the artist is. Time to go through all icon posts at 24_icons since January. *groans* I also am behind in my LJ posts again. Maybe with my late day on Thursday I can finally catch up. We were thinking about seeing The Prestige tonight but my Mom doesn't like things with magic so we decided against it. I ended up taping Law and Order: Criminal Intent and SVU. Since I've been focused on other shows, it was nice to see some I haven't seen. Pretty good, complex storylines too. I think they're taking a page out of the playbook for Criminal Minds. You can only go to the well so many times and the Law and Order franchise I think is growing a little stale.

Oh! And on a side personal note, today is my Mom's birthday :) We had a small party at home :D She's so special!
Don't even THINK about picking up that phone? We have issues to discuss, Charles...
