Hopefully, the extended weekend will put me back on the right track.
Out house guest leaves tomorrow morning, only to be replaced by the in-laws in the afternoon ... joy joy :)
Had my mind set on watching "Leverage" and "Dark Blue," but the day went by too quickly, and next thing I know I've got a house full of people to entertain. Such hardship! :)
