Over the three-day weekend I… spent several hours at the salon getting several inches added to my hair (more on that later!)… got a pedicure with Fiji (my favorite pink) and did my own nails with a new fall color — Mink Muffs… spent a ridiculous amount of time in men’s basketball pants, lounging/watching TV [...]

Thirsty Thursday: Sangria

August 12, 2011

I’m on vacation! I wish you were too, but since you’re not, I think you should, at the very least, drink like you are. Sangria says vacation, right? (Currently, “Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka and Bourbon” says vacation to me, because that is what Eric’s aunt and I decided to buy at the gas station [...]

Yesterday was my birthday! The whole weekend was just so great! And it wasn’t “Oh, it’s my birthday so you have to give me attention” great or “Let’s do something really different and crazy because it’s my birthday” great. It was just a really typical weekend day filled with all of my favorite little normal things. Periodically, [...]

Inspired by their recent trip to Texas, my mom decided to throw Preston a Texas-themed family birthday party. After the cakes she made last year — the volcano cake and rainbow cake — she decided to keep it (semi) simple this year with a state of Texas cake. Never one to settle for too simple, [...]

Last night, Eric took me to see his favorite band, Reel Big Fish, play at Warehouse Live in Houston. Today’s lesson: Seeing someone you love totally, completely, 100 percent geeked about something they love is not only a necessary part of falling more in love…it’s also a really fun part. And I’m not too familiar [...]

Last night, Eric and I were at Houston’s Hobby Airport, reminiscing about the early days of our relationship that took place at…Hobby Airport. “Want to make out in the car for old time’s sake?” I said, referring to our second kiss after he picked me up for our first datecation. “I’m afraid you might hurt [...]

Happy Royal Wedding Day! OK so…as I expected, the wedding itself (when I found it buried deep within my 6 hours of DVRd speculation/pregame/procession to Buckingham Palace) was pretty boring. Don’t get me wrong, everything was perfect. But beside the hats (if I go to any weddings this summer, I will wear one!) and Pippa’s [...]

Going Places

Eric’s work schedule for the past five months is a schedule I wouldn’t wish on anyone — or anyone’s significant other. His final deadline is on Monday, and I couldn’t be happier for life to return to normal. Five months is a long time to be a supportive girlfriend. (Although, admittedly, sometimes I was less [...]
