Well my mom's heart cath yesterday AM went just fine (she had actually improved in 8 years), and I managed to live through class last night after taking a short nap in the afternoon, but OMGOMGOMG my pretty bed was waiting for me to snoozle in it all night long....mmmmmmmmm. Having gotten 4-6 hours per night for the last week this was just awesome. :D
TBRU was much fun as always, and thank goodness I paced myself or I'd have the kennel cough by now. I got to hang out with my fave Dallas peeps, rub on some bears and cubs (new and repeat), finally discovered what all the hoopla over Whataburger was about (mmmm, BBQ Cheddar Burger), and generally had a fine time hanging out, meeting and greeting, and of course delivering a milkshake (or three, ahem).
Much love to my DFW posse Travis

If I didn't list you by name it's because you didn't blow me I can't remember everyone who did I ran into into 6 days! But you're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it, people like you!
I didn't take a ton of pics cause I lost my battery charger and most of the ones I did take came out crappy, but
here are a few that did turn out good - I'll see if I can save a few more with some P'shop TLC.
