Have I mentioned how difficult New Mexico was? Did I mention how you could try and buy something? You would have money and wish to be parted with it. However, people wouldn’t take it. Be it an hour line at Wal-Mart to unavailability at a doctor’s office until 2011 to a lack of original chicken [...]
Whew. Moving sucks big goat balls. I am tired, tired, and more tired. I am pissy and grouchy and altogether unpleasant to be around. My Our house is a mess.
How quickly gratitude can disappear. How quickly your gleeful attitude turns to irritation. Rudeness. Grumpy McGrumpyness.
Mere days is all it takes to move [...]
The call came.
I gathered my things, peeked out the window and saw nothing.
I turned off all the lights, double-checked to make sure the coffee pot was turned off. Turned off the A/C.
I tucked my coat under my arm, despite the 75 degree temps.
I stepped outside, looked left, looked right and there it was.
I [...]
When I moved to this area, my commute was foremost on my mind.
I work smack dab in the middle of Houston. I work the standard 8-5 and must deal with ridiculous rush hour traffic.
So when I decided where to stay, the length of my commute was extremely important. And I pay for it.

Scene: Bustling law office, 3 P.M., our heroine is suited in a demure white sweater and grey slacks that are just a tad tight due to several days of extra helpings of General Tso’s chicken. She is busily typing an email to her friend about how she wished the day was over already and is [...]
I have a place to live in Houston. A place that is not a hotel. A place where my cats won’t bite me every 2 minutes because they have explored every inch of the hotel room and there isn’t anything new to sniff or claw at.
I drove to New Mexico last week to pick [...]
I completely forgot about this prior to Halloween. Due to my own little drama, I did not share this timely. Forgive me please!!
Houston, the nation’s strip club capital, you make me proud once again.
During my senior year of high school, I did the typical stuff – SAT’s, admissions applications, and college visits. I had chosen “my” college. Decided that I was going to pursue an elementary education degree at a wonderful teaching school a couple of hours from my parent’s home. I was accepted, I applied for loans, [...]
Oh, what a weekend! Awesome. awesome weekend.
On Friday, I met Crazy Aunt Purl. She is so amazingly personable and sweet, and cute and Southern! I had never been to a book signing before. It was a weird little thing. From reading her blog for a couple years now, it is like I know [...]
Just got home from a sad loss by the Astros. But I am content.
AWESOME tickets, free parking pass, dollar dog night, and I know where the cheap beer booth is hidden. (Between sections 133 and 150 – which are right next to each other oddly enough).
$11 for a couple beers, a full belly and [...]
