Good Week

Despite the fact that, having had a little too much fun with friends and neighbors on Labor Day and taking a late-night spill, this is an actual picture of my hip:


it's been a great week!  You can't really go wrong when you start with Monday off work, though, right? Thanks to all us laborers.  We had a little impromptu BBQ at our house, and it was fun seeing everyone, eating delicious food, and drinking sangria.  There were even a couple babies in attendance (and five dogs, some of whom behaved).

Tuesday I got to go into work a little late, had an easy day, and a yummy takeout dinner with my roomie from my favorite veggie Chinese place.  And today I woke up happy as a clam, cause in one short hour, I have my Brazilian blowout with my girl Lauren!  So excited to bid adieu to the hairdryer.  And frizzies.  Pics to follow.

And Friday I'm going with some of my favorite people in the world to see these brilliant crooners in action at the Greek Theater:

David Gray & Ray Lamontagne

Hopefully one or both of them don't make me cry.  Ha.  

And now I have a request for you all . . .

Please go read this post of Summer's.  This is Summer and her Daddy:


Her daddy, Mr. Butch Bailey, has cancer.  He is going through all kinds of harsh treatments, and has been rendered unable to work due to loss of energy, memory, and burns on his head and ears.  Summer is doing everything she can to help him, but she lives in NYC and Daddy Butch is in Plaquemine, Louisiana.  She's asking anyone who can to send a card and a dollar to her dad . . . times are tough in the Bailey household!  And I, for one, believe that we humans should take care of each other whenever we can . . . 

There is more info on Summer's blog, but Mr. Bailey's address is:

Mr. Butch Bailey
39865 Hwy 75
Plaquemine, Louisiana 70764

If you have the time and means to send him a card and a dollar, Summer (and me, too!) would be very grateful!

Hope everyone's having a great week, too.  Be back tomorrow . . . with better hair!
