It barely started, but our weekend plans have already changed. In the afternoon, we are going to a wine & art festival. I have no idea what that is all about, but there will be wine, so that's all that matters. Afterward, we were going to attend a party with some friends, but it turns out another friend is flying in from Hawaii, so we'll have to be good hosts instead. I'll be passed out by then anyhow ...
We just watched a few episodes of Hell's Kitchen, while we have
DayBreakers and
The Blind Side lying around, so we may watch those later.
