Currently I’m reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. It’s a post-apocalyptical book in which aliens arrive on earth and kill many humans in an attempt to take over the planet. The book follows two main characters Ben Parrish and Cassie Sullivan as they struggle through a plague sent by the aliens to eliminate the human race. The aliens pit the human race against each other as they reside in human brains and make it impossible to determine the difference between human and alien.

In short, it’s great. At least, so far. I’ll let you know if the last 100 or so pages change my mind on that verdict. If you know of any post-apocalytical books that you have read and loved, please pass them along! I am always up for a new book/author.
The family and I started watching Newsroom a few weeks ago. We loved West Wing and Newroom is written by the same author: Aaron Sorkin. We have been playing catch-up as Season 2 is airing currently. I just watched the season premiere with the short one and it seems like this season will be fast paced. I’m excited to see where exactly they take it.

I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend. The roommate and I watched TV and tidied up the apartment. It looks so clean I almost don’t recognise it!
I was chatting with a friend earlier today, and I got schooled on the difference between gingham and plaid. Do you know the difference?
Plaid and Gingham-From Mens Style
I thought they were similar patterns but when you look at the fine print there are a few things that separate them. This quick article succinctly explains it if you were out of the loop just like me. :]

Prepare yourselves: it’s a long photo-filled glorious post!
My roommate has two adorable labs. We brought them out to California in June/July and they are great company. Reeces is 9 years old and is a chocolate Lab. She is also the mother of Nala, who is a yellow lab. Nala is 4 years old. Both dogs are friendly and play well with my brothers dog Crash. Crash is just over a year old, and is a Belgian Malinois.

Crash! Isn’t he beautiful?
Nala loves to relax in my room, and in particular on my bed. She has become rather attached to one of my stuffed animals.
Nala loves my dinosaur teddy bear.
It was a very busy weekend. Thus the radio silence since my post on Friday morning. Friday evening a group of us dressed in our Sunday best gathered for a glass of wine at my parents house. I’m hoping this becomes a regular thing, but we shall see! After tasting a lovely chardenay, we went over to Sweet Tomatoes for a bite to eat. Robert documented our loveliness and produced these fine things:

On Saturday the whole family, both roommates and I went down to the premiere Bacon Festival in San Jose. We waited in long lines and then chowed down on some seriously tasty bacon filled tidbits. My favorite was the garlic and bacon fries.
The family, roommates and I.
How was your weekend? What did you do? Are you enjoying this long weekend?
Love,

Classy and Fabulous
