Sunday by the Numbers:

1. We discovered that the alarm system does, indeed, work. The wind blowing the curtains around set the system off, we both got called, and the police responded. Also, hooray for a watchful neighbor. We brought them a thank-you cheesecake.

2. Riding 6 miles on the bike is almost routine now. If my stupid back hadn't kinked up a little bit I could have gone even farther.

3. I threw together an OMG YUM chicken soup in about an hour. Broth, chicken tenders (oil, salt & pepper), Rice-a-Roni chicken flavored rice, carrots, and barley (pre-cooked from Whole Foods). There was enough for dinner last night, lunches today, and probably one more dinner tonight.

4. I was in a dither about how we were going to see Parks & Rec season 5 (there are only 4 seasons on Netflix). Hulu to the rescue. And *that* is why I pay for 3 different TV/movie services. Heh.

Today is Monday. More importantly, today is the day that THE NEW IZZY'S OPENS. You know what that means... mmmm.

Andiamo, yo. Last week in July.
