Happy Weekend.

Today is full of meetings, so I’m closing up shop a little earlier than usual this week. Among other things, this weekend I need to shop for the dress I never shopped for last weekend (for a wedding in PA next week), play bingo with friends at a local drag bar and take Piper to the dog park for some major energy releasing. What’s on your agenda?

+ May 1st is tomorrow – start the month off with this sweet desktop wallpaper
