Third Anniversary!

Today is Ryan's and my three year anniversary. I'd use this entry to write him a letter telling him how wonderful he is, how much I appreciate him, how I don't know where I would be or how I would get along without him...

...except I told him all that earlier today, and basically repeat it on a semi-daily basis. He knows it. It's all good.

Today went...differently than planned. Ryan's computer went weird last night, and he spent the first couple hours of the day talking to Justin on the phone, trying to get it fixed with his help. When that didn't work, he called our computer-savvy friend Alex, who came over when he got off work. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to do anything because one of the possible fixes required a keyboard, but the computer couldn't boot far enough in to register any of the USB-based keyboards in the house. So Alex went home to get a different keyboard (and his fiancee, our other friend Kittie), and we ran off to do two of the things we had originally planned for today:

[o] stopped at my store to get tips and say hi, which was extremely rewarding and wonderful.
[o] visited Indulgence, a locally-owned pastry shop and cafe that makes I had visited before but Ryan hadn't been to yet. He has vowed to return to try a Reuben, something he hasn't a satisfactory example of since we last ate at Rein's Deli in Connecticut.

We got back and spent the rest of the afternoon working both the computer, discussing movies, and setting up March Man Madness while hanging out with Alex, Kittie, BJ, and Sameh. The computer has been saved, although it required a reformat which has Ryan busy re-downloading and re-bookmarking a bunch of stuff. Still, he's happy it didn't get borked, and we're both happy it didn't require a $60 hard drive, $150 motherboard, or $200 processor!

Dinner was at a local Mexican place called Burrito Chulo, which Sameh has endorsed forever but we had yet to visit. Dee-licious. We're currently doing random internetty things, but will soon be settling down to watch either some movies or some more Weeds, whichever plucks at our fancy.

Tomorrow is back to work--eight hours at the new store with the employee that everyone at every store in the district agrees is the meanest, loudest, most obnoxious worker in existence. Yay. Thursday is off and hanging out with Aurelie, Friday I picked up a shift at my original store--huzzah for extra hours AND working with friends!

Back to the Ryan-time-spending! :)
