It absolutely made my day this week when a reader asked me where the Week in Preview was! I don't know what you guys enjoy and use if you don't tell me, so please feel free to email/facebook/twitter me and let me know!! If I'm going to spend the time doing it, I'd really love it if you read it!!

Honestly Monday doesn't look that exciting. Same combination of library, boucing, skating, etc, but nothing out of the ordinary. Some weeks are like that. Or, maybe I'm missing something! I don't know if you don't tell me! Submit your events under the "Calendar" tab by clicking "Propose an Event"!!
