6:04 a.m.

People are headed off to Challenge (have a good time! ::waves::), and I'm sitting here squeezing the last personal seconds out of my morning before I head off to a job that I'm not happy with.

Ugh.

I've been living with it for a while, doing what needs to be done because there are bills to be paid and responsibilities to be met but...damn. I've been pretty unhappy the last couple of months especially, workwise, and I'm now thinking it's not going to be getting any better.

It's stressful. I hate that my first thoughts in the morning are usually about work.

I didn't go to Challenge and all I got was this lousy headache.

I should be in Miami, dammit. ;-(

So, I saw this post on the JJB this morning. As others have noted, Tony Lucca announced at a show last night that he's touring with JC this fall, and that JC stole one of his guitar players for the tour band. ;-) Squee!

Popped out on my friends list and saw a few people wondering if Tony might be talking out of his ass. Tony doesn't seem the type to flap his lips for nothing, so I've got to believe that it's true.

JC. This fall. Maybe, maybe, maybe coming to my town, or close enough for a road trip. Cleveland? Chicago? Woohoo! I'm *so* there. If he comes to town I've told an O-Town loving friend that she's going with me. I forwarded the JC-in-traffic pics to her, and she agrees that he's a hottie. She seemed not too put out when I told her that the tour looks like a certainty. I daresay she seemed a little excited. Tomorrow I'll give her my CDs, complete with listening lists. I'm crossing my fingers that she's a convert. ;-) Oooh, I need to order Tony's CD...

To everyone lucky enough to be heading to Challenge: Have fun. Take pictures. Take notes. ;-)
