I've said it before...

And I'll say it again. My friends rock. Not only do they know that this is one of the two most exhausting weeks of my year, but they also know my favorite flower. Thanks guys! I love you! (When I saw that my red message light was blinking, I almost didn't call because I thought it would be an annoying message. But then the man was like, "we have flowers for you!" Yay!)

And as an added bonus, here are a couple photos of me participating in a drumming circle at the Northwest Folklife Festival yesterday. (I did get to have one day of fun!)
