A good night's sleep feels so refreshing! Wish I had more of those...
Some friends came by last night, and we ended up drinking beers for a few hours, solving the world's problems one at a time.

Tonight we're having our friends over again, whipping up some dinner and then we're going to watch
The Fourth Kind.
