Yesterday was my birthday! I’m 36 now. (Ack!)
Today we’re going to go see a friend of ours play Beatrice in my favorite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing, and I am VERY excited about that!
This coming week is Finals week for my husband, and then he’ll be done with school until the Fall, so I’m looking forward to him being a little less stressed over the summer.
We went to the 3rd annual ComicCon at my local library, where two of our friends were cosplaying Jedi with the 501st and the Rebel Legion – consequently we also picked up six more books, because we were at a library and that’s what happens!
Had a pretty big thunderstorm roll through the area last night, and the weather forecast says we’ll get plenty more this week, which I’m looking forward to. I’ve always loved thunderstorms and wind and rain. I could do without the tornado watch, though!
And I’m just going to leave you with this random thing from the internet that makes me giggle every time I look at it:

In non-reading related news, I spent Tabletop Game Day playing D&D with some fantastic friends. My husband has been DMing a 5e game for us for a few weeks now, and it’s a lot of fun! I haven’t had a lot of experience with D&D prior to this – I spent most of my teenage years playing White Wolf’s old World of Darkness. (I have almost a complete set of RPG books for that system to prove it – I’ll post pictures of those two bookcases someday. Maybe next Sunday!)
We re-purpled my hair this week, so it’s back to vibrant, gorgeous purple, and I’m LOVING it. We let it go far too long before re-bleaching and dying it again. So glad to have it back to brilliant purple. We dyed it for the first time almost a year ago, and have redone it a few times since then. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to brown. I was a really pretty brown, actually, but THIS PURPLE IS SO GORGEOUS. So in love with it. I also really enjoy how it makes me stand out among other people, most of the time. It’s helped my self-confidence a lot.
