"Thumbs down Johnny V" - Kaitlin, Jen, Raelynn, etc...

Thing done in Dallas today that get a thumbs up:

0) Waking up at 10:40 a.m. Sleeping in might be one of the best things ever about not having to go to work.

1) Cafe Brazil French Toast. Heavenly. Also, slipped K8's number to the waiter while she was in the bathroom.

2) Cucumber Masque Pedicure at Soho Pedispa, which makes my forlorn right big toe's missing toenail look SO MUCH BETTER I am wondering why I didn't do this sooner. It now looks so much less deformed that I was willing to wear flip-flops. The 94 degree weather also helped with the flip flop decision.

3) Flirted with a 20 year old university kid picking out chips to go with his quesadilla, right after flirting with a 70 year old German sommelier telling us chilled wine will numb your tongue and taste buds, at Central Market.

4) Listened to David Newman at Jazz Under the Stars in the DMA sculpture park, eating green peppers and hummus, drinking bad wine.

5) Gave K8's card to a local weatherman. He is not a meteorologist, which is a little cooler, but he was really funny, which gave him lots of points. More on how this came about later.

6) Had a drink at Vickery Park in the M streets with friends. Walked three blocks home and said it was a good day.
