How are you spending your long weekend?
I feel like you live in such a cool city! Haha I'm jell! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm spending my weekend: a) babysitting my favorite kiddo b) seeing an old friend play his first solo show @ the troubadour in west hollywood c) a little extra dose of family time.
Before I go back to work AND school on the same day! YIKES!
Enjoy your weekend!
Haha, having just been to California, I feel like you must live somewhere to some awesome stuff. And the weather where I was (Corte Madera) was gorgeous. But you're right, St. Louis is a great place to be, and I appreciate it more the longer I'm here.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds like a lot of fun! I always welcome extra family time, and your friend's show sounds exciting.
It's nice you have a long weekend to gear up for your big day back. Hope it's a great one :).
