TGIF

My song recommendation to kick off the last work day of the week:








For real. Go listen and try not to wiggle.

Happy weekend.

The good life

I've been enjoying myself the past few weeks while celebrating holidays, football games, work parties, but most of all, family time. We brought home the newest addition, Lucy, shortly after thanksgiving. Her and Ruby became the best of friends and absolutely love one another (If you don't believe me, ask for a special video of the two licking each others tongues.) They snuggle, spoon, and sleep next to each other every night.








Love them. I've also been enjoying my new haircut, aka The Great Chop.


And enjoying the rest of my lovely family.








But what I haven't been enjoying is this monster called NCE. The NCE is my licensing exam and I have to try to slay the monster this week. I was delirious the other day when studying and started drawing pictures of various theories to aid my memory intake.





Whatever it takes for me to pass. I hope everyone has been enjoying life as much as I have. Well, except for the NCE. I wouldn't wish that on anyone! Happy 2012.

Thankful Heart

First of all, I want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! My work schedule prevented me from traveling for the holiday but I've been enjoying my time spent cuddling with Ruby and catching up on TV. Speaking of Ruby, my thoughts today keep pulling me back to our upcoming addition to the family. We adopted a dog from the shelter last weekend! We can't bring her home until next week and my patience is running on 10%. We were told that we could come to the shelter any time and see her so that's what we did yesterday. Here are a few pictures from our visit:













Check out that underbite! She reminds us so much of Ruby and I'm hoping they will be best friends forever. She doesn't have a name yet but we have a few ideas that are being bounced around. Updates will come soon.

Gobble gobble.

Take her to sea, Mr. Murdoch

Say whaaaat?!?

"Is this for real?" said the girl who saw the original Titanic in the theater approximately 17 times.

"Can I preorder tickets for this?" questioned the girl who had multiple scrapbooks of random Leo and Kate pictures circa 1998.

This news makes me excited and embarrassed all at the same time.

Happy Halloween!








I think my dog is beginning to dislike me...big time.

We did it!

I'm in bed recovering from our awesome weekend. We survived the 8+ hour car ride home yesterday and rolled up to my crib around 4:45pm. I still haven't touched my suitcase. Or my hair. It looks horrendous.

Thank goodness I took off work today. Sometimes I'm very proud of myself for making certain decisions. Other times, notsomuch.

Our last day in Austin was spent getting mani/pedis, eating Greek deliciousness for lunch, laughing, napping, sweating in 104 degrees of suffocating heat, putting on high heels for the first time of the trip, too fine of dining at Perry's, and shufflin' like nobody's business until the early morning.

Did I mention we had a 8+ hour car ride the very next day?

Why my body hates me and my pants won't zip:




Dinner at Perry's:



Anne and Ann:



I want this for breakfast right now:



All of the pictures are from my phone so they aren't that great.

This little angel apparently acted out on a daily basis while I was gone. She hasn't left my side since I got home yesterday. If only she knew how to unpack my suitcase and start the laundry...

Is this considered a honky tonk?

Austin day #3 has arrived and it appears the amount of luggage we initially brought with us has doubled in size. My concern isn't the lack of floor space in the condo but rather the lack of space in our departing car tomorrow. Something is getting strapped on to the roof.

Yesterday was one of the laziest days I've had in many, many moons. Liz and I stayed at the condo while everyone else went tubing. Liz napped on multiple occasions and I have no clue what I did to pass the time. I didn't read, watch tv, or exit the condo to sightsee. I think I walked around aimlessly and played in my phone. I can't remember how I spent six hours of my day yesterday.

We met up with everyone to eat then go to River Road Icehouse in New Braunsfels. Curtis Grimes was performing and not knowing who in the world he was I listened with an open mind (and wide eyes because he was nice to look at). I ended up buying his compact disc (I'm bringing the word back) and will think about listening to it.





















I would post more but the smell of bacon is permeating the room and as much as I want to update, I want bacon more. Clearly I haven't had my share of meat (see picture above) in the past few days so I need to jump on this opportunity before the other hens wake up.
