Telephone Rock
It's CAPE weekend. I should be at the Live Art Show, but I'm just too wiped.
Instead of being off all day like originally planned, I had to work a half a day. It was a lot of work, but I made some of the people happy, and that's all you can hope for sometimes.
I then went and had a late lunch, then a massage from my good friend Holly. It helped ease the strain. if you're around Fort Worth and need a massage, I will pass along her info. You won't be sorry.
After that, a quick stop to Half Price and picking up some Serenity books for the Can't Stop the Serenity show in June. (check it out and join us!)
and then an early showing of IRON MAN!!!! It rolls with awesomeneess! You owe it to yourself to see this movie!
And now, I'm here at home, watching Sesame Street: Old School. gathering strength for the whirlwind that will be tomorrow.
What's tomorrow, you ask? Why it's only CAPE!!!
