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!

OMFG is right! Jesus woman. What happened?
Thank you for posting about Daddy Butch.
Um, I think I may be more excited than you about your hair! I am for sure at a 10!
Goodness- I'll read the post that summer wrote.

OUCH. I loathe the 'cocktail bruises' (I used to get so many, I had to come up with an appropriate name for them...)
So glad you're having a great week!
OMG!! Here's some healing xoxo's for that crazy bruised hip of yours!!! OUCH!!! I cannot wait to see your hair. My hair is in MAJOR need of a trim. It always feels so good after you do something for your hair :) I remember you talking about how badly you wanted a Brazilian blowout so I'm really excited for you :)
I am SOOOOOOOOO jealous that you will be getting to see both those amazing singers this Friday. I SO wish I could be your date. To get to see one of them would be heavenly, but to get to see both - well you are just SPOILED :)
You are such an angel to spread the word about Summer's dad. You are right, we should all take care of each other. I'll be sending Daddy Butch a card and keeping him in my prayers!
JESUS CHRIST, YOUR HIP! But I'm sure you were having fun.. haha. One fun night I tore open my knee and hand with a pretty epic fall (along with some other equally stupid things).
I'm so glad more people are blogging about Summer's dad. I sent my card yesterday! DO IT PEOPLE! ;)
I'll def. send Mr.Bailey a homemade card :)
your poor hip :( must have been a really fun party!!! lol
i CANNOT wait to see the results of your Brazilian...been wanting one soo bad.
and as you know...David Gray...SWOON!!! i missed him when he was here (totally didn't even know about it) but i heard he is AMAZING...so have tons of fun!!
i sent Mr Butch Bailey a card yesterday :)
I love David Gray and have only recently been turned on to Ray Lamontagne - should be a blast. Looking forward to seeing your hair. Will happily send card and dollar tomorrow.
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry you hurt your hip! That bruise looks hella-painful. And thanks for the heads up on Summer's dad -- I'll definitely be sending them a card and a donation.

and that sending a dollar to him is such a good idea - I'll have to see if I have an american dollars laying around!
It's so awesome that you're spreading the word for Summer!!!

You cant share a bruise without the story.
I insist.
Claire,
Just got in from Canada a short time ago. Girl I hope you've got ice or something on that hip!! Don't give osteoporosis an edge!!
I think you're gonna love Ray. He made me tear up...and Summer and her dad have done the same. Card and a buck this week.
