As expected, yesterday turned into a lazy Sunday. We ran some errands and planned on watching a whole lot of TV, and we didn't even get around to that. We woke up late, watched women's World Cup soccer — someone needs to teach a few intricacies of defensive play to these women; they had it and gave it away ... twice! — and played Stronghold Kingdoms, APB Reloaded, The Witcher 2, and Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.
Our big movie/DVR afternoon turned out to be weak, as we only managed to watch Burn Notice and half an episode of Leverage before I snoozed off.
From here on out, it's all about counting down to Captain America!

The long weekend is over, and boy, did we eat a lot of ribs! We stopped stuffing ourselves hours ago, and I'm still topped off. Ended the feast with chocolate brownies and some raspberry cheesecake bars. Tasty!
While we were too full to move, we watched the season finale of
The Amazing Race and the latest episode of
Falling Skies, but earlier in the day, I had finished up
The Next Three Days, which was surprisingly better than I'd anticipated.
Off to eat some Rainier cherries ....
