Quick Check-In

I am doing great -- just wanted to pop my head in to say hi!

Let's see -- what's new:

**My car has a new tire. Seriously, what is it with my car and nails? And it isn't something I can put off -- I can't say, "nah, I'll wait for that new tire" because, yeah, a blow-out would be incredibly bad.

**Work is going well. Same old stuff. Nothing new to report :/. People who annoyed me before still annoy me. I can only go to my zen, happy place.

**I went to the fair on Sunday and it was so much fun! I will tell you now, the fried beer was AWFUL!!! I didn't buy it so that was good. However, I did have to get a corn dog right after to get rid of the taste in my mouth! Horrible, horrible. Now, the fried margarita was incredible! As was the fried butter. I didn't think I'd like the fried butter, but I have to tell you, it was a good indulgence. Since I went to fried food heaven on Sunday, I have been trying to eat better this week. My indulgence was only once this year and I usually only go to the fair every other year or so. If I ate fried butter every day, it would be a problem. However, I don't regret it at all. And I really would love to go back and get some more :). (But I won't.... because I don't think it would live up to the way I remember it in my mind!!!).

**Michelle is coming to Dallas on Friday and I am taking the day off. Yay!! Can't wait. It will be a blast.

**I loved the Britney Spears episode of "Glee" last night. I didn't enjoy "Baby, One More Time" because it was too high. But seeing "Glee" Brittany showcase her stuff, front and center, was awesome. Now, the episode was total fluff, but it was good, happy fluff. And watching Heather Morris ("Glee" Brittany) dance is just magical. I could watch her all day. I wish the whole episode would have been just her!

Okay, that is about it. Random stuff, I know. But, hey, my mind is a bunch of random thoughts today :). Happy Wednesday everybody!!

This is insanely adorable - Cats and Ikea (I found it on Icanhazcheezburger!)

The weekend was great and I had a wonderful time. Nothing big happened, I just went to sushi with Dawn and then to the new Buffalo Wild Wings in Frisco. I didn't really think we would stay that long but we ended up watching college football most of the night. A wonderful waiter found us a table (it was packed!) and because of that, I figured we should stay for awhile. We chatted with the table next to us and made some new friends. A&M wasn't televised again this past week (not until 9/30... grr!) At least we are playing well - so I can't complain :). Okay, so it's been 2 games -- but still 2 wins is better than nothing. (Yes, looking at you Cowboys..)

Sunday I did nothing! It was kind of nice. So nothing to report there.

Right now I am watching a show called "Haunted History" and they are doing New Orleans ghost stories. I think one of the ladies giving commentary on it was a tour guide many, many years ago when I went. This would be the tour that I passed out on so I don't remember much about her except her dark hair and her giving me her water (well.... actually pouring it on my back...). Shocking that I passed out in May in humid, hot New Orleans (yes, sarcasm). I am sure I have relayed that story, but if not, I can definitely re-tell it here! This show is making me miss New Orleans though. I was supposed to go 5 years ago before Katrina hit, but obviously that never happened. But now I think I want to go back at some point.

Happy Monday to all! Hope the weekend was great.

Awesome Show!

Jo Koy was AWESOME!!! I laughed (tears at times) non-stop until he stopped. We had a pretty good view of the stage so that was good. I am so happy I was able to go (thanks to Steve for being my date!). We decided not to wait in line to get our picture taken with him. I do think I will be commenting on his FB page about the greatness that was the show. It was a very diverse crowd, which was kind of interesting. He just speaks to all types of people. He seems like he would be super fun to hang out with and just have a few beers. If I ever get the opportunity to see him again, I will!!! I love live comedy. There is nothing better than laughing until you are crying. And, yes, I did :).

And A&M kicked some college football booty today. 48-7 against Stephen F Austin. Solid showing :). Oh, and my friend's little girl took her first steps today. Go Ally!!!! I hope Natalie got it on video. I got the text after the show and I am happy she decided to share that moment with friends (pretty sure I wasn't the only one to get that message :))

Okay, time to log off. Because I feel lame for blogging on Saturday night even though I have already been out and had the most wonderful time!

Hump Day!

This week has been great. I have been busy at work (kind of to the point where my brain feels like it is swimming. Not a bad thing, I just feel exhausted when I leave the office!). I get to go see Jo Koy this weekend at the Addison Improv! I am sooooo excited. Love, love, love him. He is a comedian that appears on "Chelsea Lately" (and we all know I love her!). He just makes me laugh every time he is on panel. I was excited to read when he was coming to Dallas and then even more excited when my friend Steve wanted to go too! He is a big Chelsea fan as well and knows who Jo is -- so who better to drag along :). I am getting my ticket today since we just finally decided on the date and time. It was originally going to be at the Arlington Improv and I am not sure why they moved it. However, I am very happy they did because Addison is much more convenient.

My PHR Re-cert came back as accepted this week as well, so that makes me very happy. Another 3 years to get 60 credits. I will try not to wait until a year before they are all due. Really, that OSHA Standards course helped out a lot with 28 hours!!

That is it for now. I have to get back to work. Really, it is nice to be busy :). And I am looking forward to the 3 day weekend coming up. Besides the Improv, I have no other plans. So, it will be chilling and sleeping :). Yay.
