The weekend is over and done with again, so it's back to the grind.

Even though the weather sucked, yesterday was a fun day. Due to the constant raining, we did not get to plant any of our bulbs for our spring flowers, but we got to play The Smurfs' Village (iPod) and Stronghold Kingdoms, and we watched The Walking Dead, Burn Notice, a few episodes of Hell's Kitchen and NCIS.

We might be housebound this week. There's some major construction work that's being done to our street, so we'll find out tomorrow AM if we can leave the place at all.
