At our house, the weekend went by way too fast. I’m mildly bitter about it, actually. I’m just in a crappy mood. The girls were treating me quite obnoxiously at dinner. And I have a raging headache. But enough about me! We’ve got the Riverway Storytelling Festival and Earth Day and all sorts of fun this week. And if you feel like it, I posted again on the CBS 6 Blog, too.
