August 24, 2009 - Monday

Mostly sunny and cool, with some torrential rain showers.

I couldn't get up this morning. It was nice and cool in bed and I wasn't sweating for a change. So, I slept on. Sue me, it's my day off!

When I got up I relaxed for a bit, watched my weekend's TV. Is anyone else watching Celebrity Apprentice? I really do not like that Omarosa woman. I watched the episode again, even though I'd watched it on Saturday.

The episode of Cold Case was really cool, it was based around the time of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast. And, my favourite character got a little bit of back story again, hurray!

I was going to go out to the post office, but just as I had decided to do that, the rain came down. It was fierce! I didn't want to go out there, so I stayed home and ate lunch.

After lunch I did a bit of housework. I cleaned our dish drainer, our sink, cut up the milk cartons that were piling up, and bagged up some of hubby's cans for him to take out in the morning. Whew. I also washed the kitchen mat and the rubber non-slip mat underneath it. They're still drying.

Hubby came home around 6. To do him credit, he did offer to go to karaoke, but I think it isn't a great idea when we both have to work tomorrow. Instead, we had a snuggle and then went out for sushi.

We bought a few groceries on the way home and then basically didn't talk much to each other all night. He put on some horrible TV (kickboxing junk) so I put my headphones on my computer and listened to music and watched movie previews for a bit. Then, I went into the bedroom and read quite a bit of Eclipse. Is anyone else reading these books (Twilight series)? I love vampires stories....read all of the Anne Rice, but I'm really finding these a slog. I think I'd give up if it wasn't for Jacob. He's about the only interesting character. Two of my friends that read a lot have raved about them and I respect their opinions enough to really make an effort to read the series, but so far the novels just aren't doing it for me.

I came back out after a while and we chatted a bit, but a bit later hubby went off to bed. He does have to be up early tomorrow. Me too, at least earlier than today! My first class is at 3 so I'd like to be at the school around 2. I hope the weather is okay.

That was my day. Not too bad really. I enjoyed myself at home. I got a lot of relaxing in and it was cool. I didn't use the air conditioner at all today. Yes! Night.
