Steve Martin Stood Me Up

Last night I dreamt I had a date with Steve Martin. But he stood me up. Well, not exactly. He did call to tell me he had fallen asleep and was simply too tired to make it. He wanted a rain check but in my dream I knew it was a dream and that he had missed his chance. This was after I had prepared a phenomenal dinner for him and gotten all dressed up in a smoking hot new dress. As I went to look at myself in the mirror and said to myself, "Self, this is just a dream so, you might was well look super skinny and hot." And when I looked in the mirror that is precisely how I looked. Too bad he didn't show up. I was hoping he could give me a banjo lesson.

Meanwhile...Back at the Ranch...

We made it safely to Harris Ranch last night after spending the whole day driving. Harris Ranch which is located in Coalinga, CA, has become a stopping point for us whenever we travel south. While, this destination designed to please the pallet of the carnivorous steak-lover doesn't exactly appeal to this vegetable-arian, the hotel certainly has its perks. One being, the fact that it is pet-friendly. Sadie Mae appreciates being able to travel with her two-legged family. Although she does find it rather exhausting.

We had dinner in the lounge last night and while I was completely zombied out from driving, my ears perked when I heard a the beautiful sound of an acoustic guitar and a heavenly voice singing in the far corner of the room. His rendition of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen nearly moved me to tears and as I looked around the large room, I was appalled to notice that only one other couple seemed to even notice he was playing. Everyone was talking loudly over the music or watching golf (??). When he finished I had to go tell him how impressed I was. Also, I had to slip him a twenty in his empty tip jar. People! Wake up! This guy is amazing! Hello.

Bead & Button Show

I just made my hotel arrangements for this year's Bead & Button Show. I'm really looking forward to it and I must admit I get really excited about it every year. It kind of makes me feel like I'm ten again and I'm getting ready for a trip to Disneyland. Yes, folks it really is that cool. Will you be there this year? I'm looking through the catalog of classes right now trying to decide which class I will take. I always enjoy the balance of taking a class, along with teaching classes.
Check out the class I'm teaching on Sunday. We are going to have some serious fun playing with bottle caps.
