Rodeo

In all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of living in Texas.

BUT! although I hate being from Texas, the Houston rodeo makes me proud to live here & is my favorite thing about this place.

P.S. like my henna? Its a piece sign with wings. I'm trying out different places for when I finally get the guts to go get a permanent tattoo.

The weekend that turned into a week!

Oh so sorry for being away from blog land for so long!

I'll tell you exactly what happened!

Its kind of a funny story actually...

Friday: So as I had said before I was going to the "Fire on the Altar" this weekend!

So we (my, Rachel, Amber & my adopted mother Peri) left Friday & got a hotel on the other side of Houston, went to the Fire on the Altar (it was 50 hours straight, none stop) left Friday night, ran over to CastleLights cd release party, watched them play, ran back to the Fire on the Altar, went to the hotel to sleep a few hours,

Saturday: got up went back to the Fire on the Altar, went to eat some yummy dinner at my new fav place in Houston, The Red Balloon, went back to Fire on the Alter around 3am or 4am or so went back to our hotel to sleep.

Sunday: Got back up, checked out of our hotel, went to fire on the altar again! Took a lunch break & decided HEY! Why not drive to there resort in Galveston & check in & stay there tonight since we don't really want to go home yet!? So we drove all the way out to Galveston, ate at The Spot, checked in, went all the way back to Fire on the Altar till 10pm when it was finally over, drove all the way back to Houston that night, went to sleep in there BEAUTIFUL executive presidential suite, then

Monday: Morning came & the stupid fire alarm in the building (seriously... loudest most horrid sounding fire alarm I've ever heard) went off, after the maintenance people FINALLY got it off we went back to sleep, then when we finally did get up Amber had to go back home due to work & Peri (Rachel's mom, my second mommy hehe) decided to go get us groceries & just let us stay there till Wednesday (today) by ourselves.

Tuesday: We slept in, ate a yummy breakfast on the patio, talked about the dreams we had had finally decided to walk to the beach then Jer (Rachel's brother, Lead guitarist in CastleLights plus one of my best friends) called & asked if he could come hang with us which he did & we went back to the beach for a late night walk, played a skip-bo game that lasted what seemed like 3 hours, watched Dumb & Dumber & Without A Paddle & finally collapsed into bed.

Wednesday: Woke up to the alarm AGAIN! at 8:30 (it really wasn't funny... I was walking around disoriented bumping into things trying to get away from the ringing in my ears.. horrible), Jer left for work, Rach went back to bed & I curled up on the couch with some old black & white movies until Peri came & picked us up & brought me home & you'll never guess what I came home to!

My dream bed! The one I've been wanting forever! My mother bought it for me & set it up. She also bought me some more string lights & a new chair. Plus she cleaned my room for me! & my room looked a bit like Justin Bieber ran through it followed by his entire fan base & everything was destroyed in the wake, so thanks mom! You made a perfect end to a great week!

I feel like its been forever

"I'll give up my nail biting, if you quit smacking your gum.

Its the little things that make you draw your gun.

Your a morning bird & I'm a night owl up so late, but if that's our biggest trouble baby, we have got it made."

These few days without blogging feels like years!

Its been BUS-AH!

End of the week update:

- This totally shocked me & kind of intrigued me

- I went from my normal nanny status to a live in nanny for two days & loved it :)

- I went to Discovery Green for my first time & loved it! Cant believe id never been. I'm such a horrible Houstonian.

- Hit my bosses gorgeous new car with mine... It was my first accident ever... Luckily there wasn't much damage & my boss is a saint & I love her to death & I'm eternally grateful for the fact she didn't even get mad!

- Spent way to much money on clothes.. but don't regret it :)

- Listened to the new Doom & Gloom song that came out today "Make Me An Offer" a little too much.. but also don't regret it :)

- & now I'm a little sickie

I need your guys help!!!

I don't know where to get some new film for my instax mini 7 that I can go bbuuyyyyy!

I need some asap & don't have time to order it off the interweb.

I feel like this is an impossible request & a dumb question but I had to ask..

confession #161

I'm in love with my string lights.. They are tacked to my ceiling & wall & I keep playing with them & they fall down.
Its FINALLY fall weather here in Houston.
Two days ago it was still like 90...
I have mixed feelings about it though.
Do I really want it to be so cold outside were I shiver every time I go walk Harley?
*sigh* I think I'm still just having the 'Summer Over' Blues

Sunday Beach Day

Yeah, Yeah, I know I'm late.

But I wanted to show my good friend Bryce the last picture on here before I posted it on the interweb & I haven't been able to talk to him the last few days.

My mom's good friend was taking her two daughters to the beach the Sunday, & I must admit.

I had a great time.

& It wasn't even that humid!

(which is normally the reason I hate the beach)

We ate, we chilled, we swam.

Good Sunday.

I made this for my friend Bryce,
He has never seen the Ocean before & I promised I'd write him a message in the sand
He is currently serving our country in Korea & I cant wait till he gets out & moves to Houston & I get to see his face everyday, (I do now.. but web cam isn't the same).
& He gets to see the Ocean for real!
