Texas

We are flying last-minute to Texas tonight! I’m going to Gin’s graduation party Saturday night and then on Sunday I’m going to take Phil to float the river. I haven’t had time to tell anyone… I’m really excited to go home for the weekend. We’re coming back on Monday so I will be back to [...]

Dick’s, BJ’s, & Jumper

I went to Trinity today mainly to sign a background check form for HR, but I also talked to Sue, the AD, and she walked me around and I met even more people that also work there. I’m horrible at names and I think I remember a grand total of one person’s name I met [...]

Brixx & Trinity

First let me give you the best update ever – Trinity offered me the job and I gladly accepted!! It is so awesome because I 1) I don’t start until August 2) I get all the days off that teachers get off! 3) benefits. I’m pumped about the benefits because I really need some health [...]

Pei Wei & Baba

You know, I can’t help but to think what a wonderful life I’m currently living as I sit here wondering what to write and can’t think of anything due to the lack of things I did today. As usual we went to the gym and played HORSE (he beat me finally after three losses). [...]

Butterflies

Well Heather called and Chad texted and they each told me that Trinity has contacted them. Here’s hoping Trinity likes what my references have to say! They should also be calling DYa… which for those of you who don’t know – DYa is short for David Yamane – my sociology professor and advisor who (it’s [...]

fun[fetti]

I just remembered that I forgot to mention how many weirdos there were at that sneak peek of Wanted. I’m talking your typical 35-year-old-fat-guy-with-glasses-with-identical-friend-talking-comic-books kind of weirdos. The place was packed full of those! I sat next to a couple of them and couldn’t help but listen to their weird conversations… I swear I was [...]

Yumbo

For dinner I made portabello burgers and it was so delicious we each had two. I marinated the mushrooms in balsamic vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, and a little butter and then (since we can’t grill) I opted to sautée them in their marinade with some sweet onion slivers. YUM YUM they turned out to be [...]

Wanted

… is really entertaining! If you don’t mind a lot of cussing (which I don’t really but I did notice it), then you should really enjoy it. It is funny, dramatic, very action packed, Angelina is hot, and I liked all of the different guns that were used throughout the movie as well as [...]

Pretend!

So I was just at the pool for a little bit (would have been there longer but I, being the genius that I am, left my book)… anyway, it was hard to relax because there were four young girls there splashing around and being loud. So, I watched them through my sunglasses as they were [...]

Flying Saucers!

We went to a bar last night called Flying Saucers. Apparently there is one of these in San Antonio, Houston, and in Austin. They have about 82647 beers on draft and on Mondays they have $2.75 pints… and although that is not that cheap it is better than the normal $4.50. We’re just used to [...]
