Sunday Mornings

/ Paul / Leave a comment

This weekend I was at the boyfriend’s house. Lately we’ve been very busy on Sunday mornings but today we were able to relax and not rush off to a winery or an event. The boyfriend made multi-grain pancakes and bacon. He also made a pot of coffee for himself (I don’t drink coffee). While I was doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, this is what he was doing.

He really enjoys being able to enjoy his coffee while reading the Sunday paper. He reads it pretty much cover to cover. After doing the dishes, I watched the CBS Sunday Morning show. We had such a relaxing Sunday morning. Considering we both are back to work now, it was nice to enjoy one quiet relaxing morning. I don’t know how many of these we will have this academic year.

James Is Out

I’m so upset that James got voted out last night from Big Brother 7. I think he is adorable (and my boyfriend knows that) but I know James is a republican asshole. I can put that aside just to look at him. But that’s over. I won’t be watching him anymore on Big Brother 7. He now goes to the jury house. Aw…when so many get kicked out of the house I know the summer is ending….yet another sign like the last post.

Who will win BB7?

The End of Summer

/ Paul / Leave a comment

I know the summer is ending when it's time for me to go back to work. I've been off all summer but come Monday I go back to work. I never look forward to the return to work but I usually get back into a routine pretty quickly.

Even though summer doesn't officially end until Labor Day weekend, the sun is setting earlier now and the temperatures aren't as bad as they were in July. These are signs to me that the summer is ending. I won't be able to stay up late watching TV anymore. Nor will I be able to sleep late. I'll have to revert back to my school year schedule of getting up really early and going to bed really early. Why can't I just win the lottery so that I don't have to work!

The boyfriend and I will be going to our last summer concert tonight. We're going to see Bruce Hornsby at Wolf Trap. I haven't heard anything from him for a long time. I only remember one song and I can't even think of the name of it. I'm sure we'll enjoy the concert, the weather, the food, and the wine.

How do you know when the summer is over? What signals it for you?

A Picture of Us

We have so few pictures of us together. It’s nice to get a good one of the two of us together. Here’s one from yesterday. We went to a winery with a fellow wine blogger and he was nice enough to take a photo of us together. I think we look pretty good. Love ya, honey!

Update:

Today is our 1 1/2 year anniversary. We went to see Chris Issak in concert tonight. We saw him last year at this time and it was the first time we admitted our love for each other. The boyfriend reminded me of that tonight. He’s so sweet. We reaffirmed our love.
