Today: I'm up early (lots of sleep last night) doing more homework and more Nesting. Our softball games got cancelled due to rain. When DH wakes up we may go see a movie, cook some brunch, or just hang out. We're not going out tonight because he spent way too much at the bars last night

Then probably watchthing the Bears Game!
