This week was a good one. Each night we finished work at a decent time, put on music, and drank wine while we made dinner. After the Emmy Awards on Sunday, we also decided it was time to finally give Homeland a try and I'm so glad we did - it's incredible. Last night's signing was so fun and we capped off the night with some of my closest friends at Sotto. Tonight we're staying in (ahem - finishing the first season of the aforementioned show) and tomorrow I'm heading down to Orange County for my last Southern California signing (details here). Have a great weekend!
