A Blurry Picture...

From that one night on 6th Street when Tamura's dress broke not once, but twice... and we fixed it with a key ring, when there was also so many ginger jokes it was unreal, when I engaged in the biggest drunk text fail of my life, when someone said Piddy Diddy instead of P. Diddy and we cracked up for hours...

Yea, that's when this picture was.

Don't be jealous, we can't help that we're some classy bitches.

To recap what I would call a rather successful weekend:

Friday:
Pool and Beer definitely happened with my momma.
It was wonderful.

Saturday:
There was a wedding at the rents house.
Considering it was 111 degrees at  5:00 pm, the whole thing went off without a hitch.
Although, I would prefer to avoid the disgustingly hot weather. I was sweating my face off (literally).

Sunday:
I drove to Austin to pick up the HSLP.
There was Free Birds, Jamba, Hula Hut, Buffalo Exchange, and 6th Street.
There was also, only 3.5 hours of sleep, drunk dials, and conversations about Gingers.

Monday:
Me and Tamura ate some wonderful kirby lane, drove home, went to visit my rents, and then I delivered her to her momma. Incidentally, there was a party at my house... involving 6 immature adults, a leftover keg of blue moon from the wedding, Wii Bowling, and very inapropro conversation.

and to sum it all up....
I walked into the office looking something like this:

yeah.

...it's just another manic monday. tuesday.
Tuesday is the new monday apparently.

I did something on my life list!

Number 8 to be exact.

drum roll......

I got my first tattoo. I actually got it on January 30th, in Austin, but I hadn't told my dad until recently two days ago. It's a red tulip on the inside of my upper arm. To be honest, I hadn't planned on this being the first tattoo I got, but I'm so happy I did it. I have no regrets. A picture will come soon!

It hurt!! BAD!! I didn't really think that it would hurt quite that bad, but surprisingly I'm kinda ready for #2. It's strange, like a hurt so good sort of thing. Ok, that's weird, but it's the truth. Don't worry, there won't be a second one for a while.


post script-
If the next time you see me I have no hair, it's because I pulled it out.
The phone has not stopped ringing all day. It's been ringing 2 lines at a time. I'm about to go crazy...

I'm like a bad boy magnet.

You know, the boys that...
...have too many tattoos.
...ride motorcycles.
...don't call you back.
...would really piss my dad off if he knew I was with them.

Or, maybe...bad boys have the magnet, and I can't resist the gravitational pull that surrounds them.

Either way.

/sigh
Good times on 6th Street in Austin.

HAPPY MONDAY

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wow!! The holidays have ended. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. The end of another and another new beginning. Every year I have so many emotions regarding the year to come. Twentyten was a big year for me, I learned so much about myself and I graduated from college. Yipee. However, I know that twentyeleven is going to be a rollercoaster of a ride... finding a job, going back to school (possibly), moving. It all makes me want to crawl back into bed. But I'm also excited.

NYE was an interesting day...
...found my lost phone, and didn't have to mourn its death!
...drove to Austin with Sarah. A wonderful trip that included many deep (and not-so-deep) conversations and singing along to loud music.
...bought a new outfit at Express. I'm now in love with their jeans.
...went to see Black Swan (a post regarding this experience will follow)
...Mexican Martinis at Trudy's. Along with some really good chicken quesadillas.
...rang in the New Year under a canopy of baloons at the Ranch on 6th street.

New Years Day was even more interesting...
...had brunch at Taverna. We really need a good brunch place in San Angelo. I want to be able to get eggs benedict more often than when I'm in Austin. They also have $1 mimosas!
...dropped yet another best friend at the airport. I drove Tamura the day after Christmas, this time is was Sarah's turn. If my best friends were truly concerned with my mental and emotional health they would both move back to Texas. Sorry, thats so selfish, no true.
...decided spontaneously to drive to Mansfield to see my family. That was a great decision.

And finally yesterday, we had lunch at P.F. Chang's. This was my fortune:
"New and rewarding opportunities will soon develop for you."
Well, if thats not the best fortune to get at the beginning of a new year, I don't know what is.

Also, started my picture-a-day challenge (number 1 on my life list). I took them on the Fisheye, so I can't post them immediately. They will be posted as soon as they are developed.

Pictures from christmas are coming soon!! :)

trip to austin

took a trip to austin this weekend. i had so much fun! my friend sarah got us tickets to the john mayer concert. since it wasnt until monday night, we had an extra long weekend. friday-monday!! it was great!
can i first just say how completely awesome the john mayer concert was?! my life is now complete... just kidding. but seriously, probably one of the best shows i've even been to. he has an amazing voice and writes the most beatiful music. if you dont listen to him, you should at leat check him out. i really dont think you will be disappointed.

while in austin i got to hang out with some girls from high school that i havent seen in forever!! we hung out with kelli sunday evening and monday before the concert. we had such a blast. her and her boyfriend are the cutest thing i have ever seen!

this is before we went downtown. shout out to kaela for helping me curl my hair!! :)

kaela met us in austin, she lives in san antonio and decided to come hang out on saturday night. we went to go see the new alice in wonderland, which was pretty wierd by the way, at the alamo drafthouse. the alamo draft house is probably one of the coolest places i've ever been. they take your order and you get to eat real food while youre watching the movie. someone had a great idea!! i had a 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwhich and french fries. it was great!

24 hour trip!

last weekend i decided to go on a last minute trip to austin. i left saturday afternoon and got back sunday afternoon! it waas so much fun! sarah's birthday was on tuesday so we had a huge party!

my best friend!!

sarah, me, and some of her friends from austin - kristin and ryan!

trip to austin!!!

i went to austin to visit my best friend sarah!!
on friday we went to eat at cheesecake factory! it was so wonderful! i got clam chowder and crab wontons. then for dessert i got CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH CHEESECAKE!! it was amazing!

on saturday she took me to eat thai food! i've never had it before and it was really good! then we went shopping at the barton creek mall. here's what i got:










i can't wait to wear them!!




we also went to see He's Just Not That Into You:
one of the best movies i've seen in a while. it has such a good message. it follows nine people, who all have an indirect connection to each other. all of them are dealing with there own relationship problems.



each situation has it's own solution, some unexpected.
gigi is my favorite character...she's hilarious.
