Jamie is Hot!
I’m so excited! I almost forgot the other important thing about my birthday – A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon is out! I finished The Fiery Cross last spring, and having to wait all summer for the next book was hard. Maybe I should wait to read the new [...]
Rebroadcast…
If you live in the Houston area and missed the season premieres of the shows on NBC, they will be shown again starting tonight. I looked for a similar message for channel 11 or 13, but no luck.
Days of our Lives wasn’t shown last Wednesday – Friday, but the episode on Monday did a [...]
Another Day, Another Year…
It has been a fairly quiet day today – we finished unpacking the things we brought in last night; Mike did some of the yard work and brought the patio items back out from the garage; he made me pancakes for breakfast since I didn’t have class today and he didn’t have to go to [...]
Home, Sweet Home…
We pulled into our driveway this afternoon at about 4:45 pm. The last 18 minutes of our drive were over the first 10 miles of the route we took to leave town. It took us FIVE hours to go those 10 miles last Thursday night. The fact that it only took us [...]
Home!
We’re home! Lots of pine needles and a few small branches down. Nothing too major.
Birthday Girls
We even did candles! (Tara’s birthday was on the 19th, mine is on the 27th.)
Birthday Cake
Mike made a birthday cake for Tara and me! (He wrote Happy Birthday in the frosting since he didn’t have any decorating icing to use.)
I Nailed It…
They are now announcing on the news that they will be allowing people back into Houston in stages. I totally nailed it. Now I wonder if they will go with my alphabet plan or my number plan.
All Clear…
We are still in Austin, and we have no plans to return to Houston for a few days. I refuse to get stuck in the gridlock that we got stuck in coming to Austin. There isn’t any traffic in Houston yet, but there is the beginning of traffic jams in Austin already – [...]
Rita Runaways…
I’ll admit it – I feel guilty that I’m here in Austin and not over in Houston right now with the rest of my family and friends. Well, the friends that didn’t leave, since many of them are in Austin and surrounding cities already. Instead of waiting out the storm, we went to [...]

I Can Feel My Legs…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…
We are at the Hacker House for Houston Homeless. We have brought the animals in and had our first (and hopefully only) accident. We have showered and changed. You can not imagine how icky you feel after driving with the windows down in 80-90 degree heat for hour after hour. Ugh. [...]
