{Where is all this extra time coming from? It’s amazing how much free time you have when you don’t have 8 hours of work and an hour and a half of commuting to deal with.} I’m not sure exactly when or how my extreme affinity for the Biggest Loser started, but I do know that … Continue reading →

Well, we’ve had a glorious two days (make that three tomorrow!) off because of this gross winter weather. Since Alex is still in the job searching process, he’s home and stress-free so we’ve had fun.

I had a great time at A&M hanging out with some Indonesian friends. My best bud from East Asia’s name was Fadhliani. We did a cultural exchange of sorts.

Our booth included the following small enterprises: Red Feather Canes- During his brief retirement, my father sought a hobby and found one in making … Continue reading →

Okay, here’s another story for you that I didn’t have time to type last night. It’s probably my MOST embarassing moment. The setting: Freshman year at A&M. Fall. Leaves changing color. Cold enough for a sweater….and a scarf. I was on  my way to an afternoon class. I felt like “dressing up” so I put … Continue reading →

For our anniversary, Alex bought tickets to see the Blue Man Group at the new opera house here in Dallas. We went on Thursday. We got home from work and laid around for about an hour, dropped the dog off at the sitter’s (AKA Jesse and Diane’s), and drove downtown. Before we left, Alex asked … Continue reading →
