Bookstore, Massage and Spring Preserve

I think it might be impossible for me to go into a bookstore and come out without buying more than I intended. I haven't gone to a bookstore for a while and now I remember how much I like looking around. I could spend as much time in a bookstore as I can at a home improvement store. I saw this section on Manga and I couldn't believe how many books were there! If I were in Kinokuniya, I wouldn't have been so surprised, but there were 2 more sections on either side and the whole other side of the shelving full of manga!


But I got my secret santa gift...a couple of books on "how to make anyone to fall in love with you". I was looking for a book of pick-up lines, but didn't see any. I knew I should have just ordered it online. Oh well, what I got will have to do.

It's been a pretty busy week. Picking up my cousin's daughter from Harrah's after she finished with the convention for pharmacists. I dropped her friend off at the airport and then Kristi and I went to lunch. After lunch I dropped her off at the mall while mom was bowling. Mom picked her up after she finished and I was off to work.

Today I got a massage with Liz and Tahnee. It was good and I may have to make it a monthly thing. They have a pretty good rate for locals. They stayed around the spa but I had to leave because I had plans to go to the Spring Preserve with Lindsay. There are a lot of cowboys in town because of the NFR.





We walked in through the cafe (there's a Wolfgang Puck cafe there), the to the gift shop and ended up inside so we walked around some of the trails and I was thinking that we were supposed to pay admission somewhere. The first building we walked to had a sign that said "meeting in progress" so we kept walking around. Then we finally came to a building and I asked the guy how this place worked and he asked us if we got our hands stamped. I said, "No, we just wandered in and didn't see the main entrance" So he said he'd let us just look around since we were already inside =). But I guess normally, there's one admission fee to see everything - around $14 for locals and $18 for other adults. So it was a nice treat for us. Steven didn't end up coming with us, so maybe next time.

When I was getting my massage, I realized that I need more work on my forearms and hands. I really need to get back to yoga and get massages more frequently.
