Rob’s out of town this weekend so I decided to take advantage and start watching True Blood<\/b>. I saw the first couple of episodes at a friend’s place back when the series first started but I didn’t have HBO at the time so I never bothered to finish the season. It didn’t help that I wasn’t particularly enamored with the episodes I did see. I’ve since heard that the show definitely picks up after that point. And now that I’ve read the first 6 books of the Sookie Stackhouse series (which I enjoy), I thought I’d give it another chance. Hopefully I’ll like it much better this time around. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So it’s about that time for another Happy Things<\/b> entry — this time it’s the (almost) July edition!<\/p>\n
1. House-iversary! Rob and I have been living in our house for the past year. CRAZY. It really doesn’t seem that long. Particularly since we’re not even done furnishing or organizing the boxes in our garage. Not to mention that…<\/p>\n
2. We JUST now (mostly) finished the work in our (tiny) yard. Yes, after a year! We had sod and pavers installed last September but since then, we’ve let weeds grow in the surrounding soil. Oops. Finally, two weeks ago, with my dad’s help, we got rid of the weeds, prepared the soil, and added plants. YAY.<\/p>\n
3. The upcoming Fourth of July holiday. One of my favorites. Love how laid back it is. Not sure what our plans are for the long weekend but it’ll probably involve some work around the house. Maybe Rob will fire up the grill. \ud83d\ude00 And we can catch up on summer movies (still want to see Bridesmaids, X-Men: First Class, and Super 8).<\/p>\n
4. Speaking of movies… HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2. !!! I can’t believe it’s almost over. *sob* I’ve already convinced Rob we NEED to see it opening weekend.<\/p>\n
5. Two weddings and a baby shower. \ud83d\ude42 I’m going to be an aunt! My cousin’s wife is pregnant — since I have no siblings, I’m claiming their (future) daughter as my niece.<\/p>\n
Bonus happy thing!<\/p>\n
6. Comic-Con<\/a>. We’re going the full 4 days again. I CAN’T WAIT. This time we’ll have other friends with us — it’s going to be great.<\/p>\n Random. I’ve had Bruno Mars’s “The Lazy Song” on repeat. This is like my summer anthem…<\/p>\n Today I don’t feel like doing anything Rob’s out of town this weekend so I decided to take advantage and start watching True Blood.
