• And the heat continues....I did turn off all the fans except for the ceiling fans for 1/2 an hour this morning around 4am.  I was really craving a silent house for just a little while.  We may get a break around Thursday.  All I can do is deal with it.  The cats are becoming fan hogs.  I've got about 4 on the floor through out the house for the pets.  I gave Buk a bath yesterday simply to cool him down for a little while.  He was so cute marching around in the cool water in the tub.

  I slept from midnight until about 3:30am.  I'm good if I can get at least 3 hours of sleep.  I think I could get more now, if only it would cool down a little.  Just wait until winter and I start complaining about the cold.

  I did my yoga yesterday morning and then was out of the house at 6am, Hollywood Reporter magazine under my arm.  At 6:05 I walked through the doors of my favorite breakfast place and enjoyed a lovely breakfast and 45 minutes of reading.  I'm really getting excited about the Emmy race-I want "American Horror Story" to kick butt!  Came home to grab Buk and a short grocery list at 7am.  Took him for a 20 minute walk and then grocery shopped.  We were home by 8am, just as it started getting really warm outside.  I wanted to cook dinner-its been too hot to cook this week.  So I had grabbed a roast at the store and tossed it in my crock pot for the day.  Another one of my brilliant ideas!  I did what I could around the house-fan count reached 11 by 2pm.  I figured it was movie time so I put on my "Expendables" dvd.

  That movie is so darn fun!  I did some research on the new one.  Going to see it today. I would love Sam to go with me, but feel like a bad mom because a part of me doesn't want him to go.  If he doesn't, I can hit the Target in the mall and also have an early dinner at a restaurant that he doesn't care for and I love.  Plus I got another Hollywood Reporter yesterday that I could dive into while I eat.  Like watching dvd's during the day, I also feel guilty if I just sit and read.  I feel I can justify it if I'm at a restaurant.  I'm weird.

  Anyway, a third "Expendables" is already in the works.  It will be the same cast as number 2 (oh no, I'm having a "Friends" moment-I just said number 2), but Stalone is approaching about five more heavy hitters to add to it.  Like Clint Eastwood!  If they can pull off number 3, that will be the most amazing ensemble that has ever been cast before.  I'm going to be following this one closely.

  I got all my fall/winter movie release dates up on my wall calendar-we've got some really good ones coming out.  A couple of them I've been tracking since they made their first appearance at the Sundance Film Festival in January.  Okay, movie queen will shut up now-she can really get quite obnoxious.

  Sam's gig Friday night went really well and everyone showed up who said they were coming to see him play.  If it hadn't been downtown, I would have gone.  But I hate driving downtown with all the traffic and one way streets on a Friday night.  I will try to go to his next one.  He was in and out of the house all day and evening.  But sometimes I enjoy having the house all to myself for a while.

  More yoga and Buk walking early this morning is planned.  I'm also going to try to get the patio cleaned up before it starts getting too hot.  I was out there last night because it was cooler than inside.  While watching all the solar lights come on, I realized the whole thing needs a good cleaning.  Its almost like I added on another room to the house but I enjoy it so much!

  Saw a picture on Facebook last night of Matt wearing a front carrier with Tristan in it.  Tristan is so small that all you can see are his arms and legs sticking out-no head.  It was so darned cute!

  At least I didn't hear from the ex again yesterday.

  So, overall, it was a pretty good day.  The sun is going to be up in a few minutes-time to get busy.
