I ordered a new clock for our sparsely decorated mantle that will replace the Lego replica of the John Hancock building. In hindsight, it's kind of an ironic purchase, right?
I also spent some time waddling around Providence Place mall and took myself to an afternoon showing of The Iron Lady. Meryl Streep was amazing, of course, but overall I thought the movie was just okay. Check out the view from the mall overlooking downtown Providence. Not too shabby!
Steve and I have been trying to eat out as much as possible these days. Partly to sample the culinary delights of Providence (and have good places to eat when we have visitors - hint, hint) but mostly because we know that going out to dinner will soon be a luxury. In fact, we ate dinner in last night only because we vowed to go out tonight.
Before dinner, I was hoping that we could also check out Brown University's Ladd Observatory. The observatory has a 12 foot telescope (good for making a close-up wish upon a star) and is open to the public on Tuesday evenings. It also happens to be down the street from our house. Unfortunately it's closed tonight due to weather forecast.
