The hundred-and-forty-third and hundred-and-forty-fourth days combined...

Today was a wonderfully lazy Sunday filled with hanging out with my sisters, sleeping, watching TV (True Blood was so good, but so sad this week), and catching up on some of the blogs that I follow.

I can't believe that it's already August 16th. My sisters head back up to school on Friday, and I start my classes on the 31st . Where did the summer go? I mean seriously - the year is getting away from me. It feels like just yesterday that it was January, and I was thinking about my 2009 to do list. Now here I am, half the year - more than half the year - is done and I feel like I've accomplished almost nothing. I need to kick some of my laziness and pick up the pace a bit. Easier said than done :)

I've got a long week ahead of me so I'm off to sleep, but before I go - two pics from my weekend.

Even the birds enjoyed the wonderful weather.

Yet another single family house for sale. If only mortgages could be paid with hope and wishes :)

Have a great night everyone!

The hundred-and-twenty-ninth and hundred-and-thirtieth days combined...

I can't believe that the weekend is almost over again. How is it that the work week can move so slowly, but the weekend (or any personal or fun time) flies by in the blink on an eye? Someone should research that. It's probably some trick of time and space - or not :)

Oh man, it's (once again) hot today. I feel like I'm sitting in a giant sauna. It's too hot to anything of significance so, I've decided to just sit on the couch, hang out with Sis 1 and watch Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel. I love that show. For anyone who has never seen the show, it follows Adam Richman as he travels to all over the place sample all kinds of delicious foods, and competing in challenges.

I have an ever-growing list of restaurants that I have to visit just from seeing them on this show. I mean how can anyone say no to restaurants that serve 5 pound deep dish pizzas, 13 inch pancakes (in buttermilk, pumpkin, or wheat), over 70 varieties of doughnuts (including a peanut butter and bacon variety and a maple and bacon bar - yea, you read that right), or an unlimited sausage buffet. I'm getting hungry just thinking about all that :) Anyway, point is, it's a great show - especially if you're a foodie. Adam's a funny host too, so that just makes it more interesting.

On the way back from errand running yesterday, I passed this house for sale.

I don't know what it looks like inside, but I like the curb appeal. I think part of why it appeals to me so much is because it's a one family house. The one-family house is becoming such a rarity in my area - it's a shame. On every little plot of land - poof! Like evil magic, up pops a new 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more family home. It's kind of sad. I'm sick of being a renter, and I feel that by the time I really want to buy a house I won't even be able to find a one family house :( That time is a while off though, so we'll see.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone! True, Monday is on the horizon, but on the bright side, True Blood's on at 9 :)
