It's a beautiful day outside and I can't seem to get myself off the couch.

I am bound to my book. I can't stop turning pages. "Wicked" is a fascinating book.

So the plan to get me outside is the promise of a nice decaf latte where I can settle down and read.

I had a fantastic day yesterday shopping with my brother. He is far and away my favourite person to shop for/with. We started out by going to see a teeny tiny townhouse condo. Cute, but very small - too small even for me. We took a look through some other nearby condo developments before having a nice coffee with Alex and chatting about financial woes. Always a favourite topic in my family.

And then it was shop, shop, shop. By the end of the day, we were tired. I made a lasagne while he watched the Leaf game. I think it might be the first time anyone's watched TV here in my apartment.

We ate the last of the cinnabons that Alex had brought me the night before... Actually, it was very sweet. Alex and I were going to go to the movies and decided to eat in. Alex brought me the best dinner I could imagine: cinnabons and a decaf latte. He loves me.

And we saw "Walk the line," based on the bio of Johnny Cash. Great flick. Seriously, go see it.

All in all, it's been a good weekend. Now, if I could only get myself outside. The decaf latte calls...
