  *= trade Colleen's trip to Norwescon for her netbook?
     yes, but she was keenly disappointed and is now upset at me.
  & I apparently missed a sale at SW, but was more interested in being with
    Colleen.

A pretty good day; a good walk; an evening out with Colleen, a great step count, and a ton of good links (above the cut, as usual).

Our "date night" entailed a lot of driving around looking for a place to eat, finally ending up at Bucca de Bepo in the Westgate mall on Blossom Hill. After which we wandered around most of the mall, and then drove around some more. Nice.

Then I went and broke the mood by suggesting that if she stays home for Norwescon, we would save enough money to cover her new netbook. After a lot of snuggle I think she's resigned to it, but she's probably still mad at me as well (or will be, once she wakes up). Can't blame her. *sigh* Should have brought it up earlier; it's been obvious since Conflikt that it would be near-impossible both financially and logistically. *socially-inept bear grumbles discontentedly at himself*
