I am not doing anything at work so I decided to post for everyone. The past two weeks have been so much fun. Last weekend we had some friends come over for pizza and Wii. On Saturday we had Buzzfest 27 to atttend in the Woodlands. Before the concert we stopped at Spring Creek for a quick bite to eat and I’m sorry to say I was not very impressed.  That night was all kinds of funny with my cousin getting caught in chick fights and nachos waving in the air. I even won a free tote bag. Hahaha! Chevelle was amazing as always and I’m so glad I was watching them with Howard.

Sunday we headed to the pumpkin patch with my mom for some specialty pumpkins and later some Papadeaux’s  food!

Someone at work asked me why I like Mondays and I told him, “Sometimes I like to wonder what everyone’s life is like for a moment. I wonder why each individual person dislikes Monday just like many other people around the world. What makes Monday so horrible?” I would have to say that my favorite day is Sunday. I like to wake up early Sunday morning and look outside to see the birds fighting over spilled seeds. There is something so calm about Sunday and it’s the day I feel when I’m most productive and creative.

Speaking of creativity, I am in need of some ideas for things to randomly write about. I used to be awesome at writing when I was in my younger years but somehow that has slipped away from me.

And I will clean the guest bathroom tonight. Howard is probably thinking, “Yeah, we’ll see if that happens. :/”

Best Friends

I want to find a hidden door behind a tapestry.

Earlier I was watching “The Secret Garden” with Howard and he fell asleep. :( I get it. Not everyone can love that movie as much as I do.

Howard wants a turtle as a pet and I’m thinking about getting a snake as well. We’ve got room in this house for more loveable friends except I’m not sure who is going to want to feed a snake while we are out on vacation. We went to the library and checked out a whole bunch of books on reptiles and how to care for them in your home. I did pick up Darwin’s “The Origin of Species” for some light reading. :) I have some weird tastes in books, huh?

Right now we are preparing some pork chops for dinner using Howard’s new George Forman Grill. ;D It smells so good I’m half tempted to eat a piece right now. The last time I had pork I was sick for two days and could barely walk from being so dehydrated. I’m not sure if I just can’t eat pork or if the last meal just wasn’t cooked thoroughly. Maybe this time will be different.

Earlier I was reading someone’s blog and she mentioned wanting to drink sweet tea on her front porch during the summer. I wish I could have done that this past Summer but there were just so many darn wasps flying around it was crazy. I will drink  hot coffee on my front porch this fall. I love sitting outside and watching the sun warm up the plants in the front yard.

Time for dinner! Yum!

I love this.

Last weekend Howard and I went to meet our friend at Katz’s for dinner and ended up having one smelly, funky night.

Everyone was enjoying their fried pickles when the hostess seated some nasty people next to us. Their funk drifted over to our table and lingered for the entire meal. This stench was so rancid I couldn’t eat my food. Oh, don’t worry… I left a nice comment card for the waiter. Then while we were leaving a homeless man tried to hit us up for some money. What is wrong with people these days!?

October 1st was one cool and breezy morning! I stepped outside and fell in love with the crisp cool air that swept around the corner of our house. I love this month so much and I look forward to drinking lots of pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks.

Aww! Look at her and her happy face. This is while we chilled at a coffee house on Bagby Street near downtown. I must say that the coffee drinks at Coffee Groundz are delicious.

Oh and have you ever watched the movie, “The Gate” when you were younger. I believe it came out in 1987 and it’s about this boy and his sister opening a gate to Hell. This movie was so awesome when I was little and now that I just watched it again I realized I still love it.  :D
