Such a beautiful day it was yesterday, amazing. We watched some TV after breakfast, did some errands, checked out a new promising property but decided not to pursue any further due to the crime-ridden neighborhood, and then did some catch-up work. It was less than we had hoped for, but it was such a nice day that it couldn't be helped.
No movies at all, but we did get to watch The Amazing Race and might snag Date Night sometime this week at the small theater just down the street.

No rest for the wicked. With the flaky coverage from earlier this week, we'll be doing a little bit of catching up over the weekend.
No special plans for the weekend. Maybe we'll go catch a movie if there's anything interesting playing, but if not, there's always the DVR. We kicked off the weekend in style with some awesome Greek food, which we devoured in front of the TV while watching Stargate Universe and Supernatural. On deck are Flashforward, Bones and maybe a little V.
