It’s another sunny day in San Diego and while I was out enjoying it earlier, I’m glad to be back inside. I got a cold earlier this week and I’m still trying to get rid of the little bugger. It’s much easier to deal with sneezes and such when you have tissues close by. Also, it’s supposed to rain again this week. Who knew San Diego actually got weather?

It’s Monday? Really? Where did the weekend go? It was such a blur but a pretty awesome weekend nonetheless. My weekend was punctuated with some sadness when my favorite band The Academy Is… announced they were breaking up.
