One Month!!

In one month- August 19th!- I will be sipping strawberry Daiquiris on the beach in Playa Del Carmen. Thanks for being such a great friend and agreeing to go with me Katie! I am so EXCITED! Pictures to come...

My Austin Girls

This is a picture of some of my favorite Austin women as we celebrate at Mellow Mushroom right by UT's campus to celebrate the beautiful Katie Romney's Birthday! YEA KATIE! (Sorry this post is so late!)

The other week I went to the movies with Flor. We saw Up! What a beautiful movie! It is everything a movie should be... and more. One of the highlights for me were the sweet glasses we got to wear for the 3-D part. I liked them so much I used them while checking my messages...

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

I feel an immense sense of relief! 

All Creatures of our God and King...

Wildlife seems to be all around me here now that I live in Austin. Saw the huge snake the other night. Frequently see toads and rabbits on walks. The other night this little critter was in my apartment. I had to capture and release it myself as Bella the dog was not interested in doing the job for me.

A Ginormous Snake!

Saw this beauty on my way home tonight from taking Bella for a walk. Still gives me the willies just thinking about it! Not a fan of snakes.... thank heavens I live on 3rd floor!

The Austin Symphony

Friday night was my first real night on the town in Austin. Ivy and I planned a night out to the Austin Symphony. We went to a great little place for dinner called "Galaxy Diner." Fabulous dessert! Thanks Ivy! We then went to the beautiful Long Center right downtown for an incredible performance. The Featured Performance was by the lovely Miss Sarah Chang who played a Bruch Concerto in a fabulous shining silver dress. I was thoroughly satisfied as were all the lovely old ladies from the local retirement center who were at the performance in their best dress!

I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner!

The other night while walking Bella the dog with Ivy and Melanie, we came across this little treasure parked at the apartment complex next to ours. How Exciting!!
