Thoughts for the week:

• Started off the new week with only four and a half hours of sleep. Never a good thing.

• My main sustenance for the weekend? Johnny's birthday cake. Never make a cake entitled "Double Trouble." (pictures and a recipe to come)

• Realized that working full time is not conducive to getting a tan. I've consigned myself to buying sunless tanner for my face.  

• Sorted through two tubs of childhood keepsakes yesterday. It felt empowering to see the person I have become but also depressing to realize I'm not nearly as young or innocent as I once was.

• Moved the TV to our bedroom at the same time that our landlord bought us a DVR. The results this weekend were shameful.

• Started a daily routine of sitting outside and reading during my lunch break. It's amazing how the simple things can make a day so much better.
