my friend Meg Brown works at Ann Richards School and was voted to get to dress as a fairy princess and dance...hahahaha....I LOVE IT

This has made my day!

Recollection

I am slowly remembering what all was in my bags that were theived. One thing was my favorite tweezers. Many may wonder why on earth tweezers are such a big thing, but as i am getting older...AND WISER i am realizing all the crazy hairs that just decide that they are going to make their presence known as you are on your way to meet people....i will tell you though, tweezing in the sunlight....you get all those little hairs.

Had a good weekend. Went on an retreat for this ministry i am part of at my church.. It was on the pedernales river and truly AMAZING.....it was so quiet, dark....in the words of Amber, " it forces you to think!"

Before i could head to those festivities though, i wanted to get in a swim workout....Coach Pain (Chrissie) was there in the freezing morning air laying it down on us!! It was good and I headed home to wash up the hair....i even styled it and get dressed.

Then my friend called to see if i was up for breakfast...HECK YES, so off to Maria's we went (my third trip there of the week!) Enjoyed by vegitarian taco, some chips and salsa....we were finishing up and then....

A BIRD POOPED ON MY HEAD!!! I was so embarrassed! Got out of there before making a spectacle and headed home to pack my bag for the weekend.

It has been a wonderful week in Austin, Texas. Amazing sunrises and sunsets....just chilly enough for a jacket, even a scarf, but not super windy!!! Truly is beautiful to live in this city and to get to do so many things outdoors, except when you get out of the pool and it's 45 degrees....brrrrrrrrrrr

To the Criminals....

in the green suburban, that decided that my car and Amber's car were prime targets for your little fix of dinero......I hope that you use the bible that was in my purse and have a COME TO JESUS!!!!!

Luckily, my wallet wasn't in my purse or Amber's, so it could be a lot worse, BUT i am still out $100 to get my window fixed.

And, a huge shoutout to the lady that saw the suburban, scared them off, and waited for almost an hour to let us know the details of what she saw....many thanks lady!!!

My Grandmother Called...

at 1:00 AM...my mom thought she was dreaming the phone ring....the message:

"Bob, this is your mother. I did't kill him, but we need to get together to coorborate our stories and find out who did."

....I'm sorry...what?

....she then proceeded to call my dad's office, upset that they called him out to investigate a murder and she's thinking they plan it, so he doesn't have to come visit!!

my blog title says it all...

...okay, so first blog....so i was raised with the philosophy, mindset, whatever you want to call it, to take care of the things you have been given, even if it isn't much.

so, this weekend lots of folks will be rolling with me in my car, which i am totally excited about! And, due to all the rain, dust and pretzals, my car has not looked too sparkily.

i decided that since i had a coupon i would head over, get my ride washed up and be ready for the weekend, "summer, summer, summertime"....

now, i don't know about others who go to the inside/out carwashes (Genie, Bee Caves, Regal, H2O), but i always watch my car just to make sure there are no shenagans going on and that they do what they claim they will do. here's a play-by-play in my head:

1. okay, there is no way that they actually vacuumed everywhere
2. why are they not taking my car over to the wash bay...there are four people chatting, someones on the clock
3. oh, they must have started adding more soap to the wash....it's not water with soap, it's soap with water.
4. PLEASE DON'T LET THAT CAR HIT THE BACK OF MINE!!! (That acutally happened to a friend of mine. Rearended at the carwash b/c they hadn't pulled her car out yet!)
5. okay, guy looks like he may actually wipe down my car, well
6. honk, honk...towel waving....THERE IS NO WAY HE IS DONE!!!
7. may i have your towel....

so, homeboy didn't wipe down the windows, the cup holders, the dash, the winshield (i'm sorry he did do half of it!), the doors, the door handles....he comes over while i am doing this and says the following....

"Oh, you wanted the doors done? me "um, yes, isn't that part of the deal....vaccuum, wash, interior (dashboard, doors, cupholders, steering column) and all windows?" him "you have to tell the guy at the front that you want all that." me "I'm sorry....what?"
