A Few Good Men - Five years later

Hard to believe, but five years ago today (it was even on a Friday!) my best buddy charityflint and I took the biggest spontaneous trip we'd ever done, and flew down to Fort Worth, Texas to see Jensen perform in A Few Good Men.

Man, how time flies! We had the BEST time in Texas. It was the first time we'd ever seen Jensen in person (in Navy dress whites of all things! Woot!) and he just nailed that performance. And the one the following night, too.

I remember waiting outside in the oppressive heat for him to come out the stage door and then nearly spontaneously combusting when he was suddenly standing in front of me. :-)  I don't even know how I was able to speak to him! LOL!

I'm so glad I brought a photo for him to autograph because to this day it's the only thing where he signed my name, since Creation doesn't allow them to personalize anything.

I was able to take a short video of Jensen signing autographs. It was absolutely pitch dark at the stage door, so only when someone's camera flashes can you see him:

And here you can see the back of my very blonde head as I was standing there recording it. :-)

So yeah, what an amazing trip. I still have my fingers crossed that Jensen will return to the stage someday because everyone should have the opportunity to see how fabulous he is in live theater. :-)

Friends can always make you smile

My good friend at work knew I was going to have a horrible day today (due to a lot of factors) and she surprised me by stopping at my favorite bakery and bringing me a giant smiley face sugar cookie. Awww! I told her I wasn't going to eat it until the end of the day, but keep it on my desk so I could look at it and smile back. :-)

This was also an excuse to use my new Tenderheart Bear icon. I absolutely loved the Care Bears when I was a kid, and Tenderheart happened to be my favorite. Had the stuffed animal that I took everywhere with me. In the new TV Guide there was this article about how they're bringing the Care Bears back to television with a new animated show, and the photo they showed was Tenderheart here. Talk about a long way from the old cartoon! Looks great, though.

Were any of you Care Bear kids, too? :-)
