When you're here, you're family

Yesterday, for our fourth anniversary, Beth and I exchanged gifts. She gave me:

• A copy of Mother Goose in Prose, a children's book that L. Frank Baum wrote prior to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
  
• The recently released Pixies DVD
  
• One of those Hot Topic Mario shirts, which featured enemies introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 (Boos, Munchers, and Paragoombas)
  

After that, we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. I had wanted to try the parmesan-crusted shrimp, but it's already been taken off the menu. I sometimes have trouble understanding the whole limited-time offer thing. If a menu item requires unusual ingredients or preparation, I can see not wanting to offer it for a long time, but I tend to doubt parmesan-crusted shrimp would fall into either of those categories. I ended up having shimp and crab ravioli, which was very good. The portion was smaller than I'm used to getting at the Olive Garden, but seafood is more expensive than noodles and cheese, so it makes sense.

We didn't go bowling last night, but we might do that at some point during the week. Possibly Monday evening, but I don't know for sure.
