This week’s incident at the Alamo Drafthouse tugs at my heartstrings. 😉 NSFW: She Texted, So We Kicked Her Out For those who don’t want to endure the NSFW video and blog, here is the gist: Alamo warns (several times) that calls/texting during their movies is forbidden. Girl texts. Girl ignores two personal warnings to […]
There is a great website: WhenParentsText.com. This is my little spin/play on that. Yes, this was in my facebook news feed this week. Tony B. is a friend of my mom’s from high school. While I’ve never met him IRL (i.e. In Real Life for you parents), I’ve grown up hearing countless stories about him […]
Weekend! Saturday, the best day of the week, right? Well, it is for me. It’s the one day when I can both sleep in and stay up late. It’s the one day that I have all 24 hours to spend with E. Saturday is for festivals and weddings. Saturday is for mini-vacays when the week […]
So, today, I was working through all the goodness that Twitter and tumblr have to offer AYW. I was buzzing through a BUSY day of it when I got the notice on my iPhone that Keith and the Girl was about to start. This is how it went down. T: Must be time for me […]
Saturday, we wanted an adventure away from the Memorial Day weekend craziness. So, after lunch at Pita Fusion (OMG was it GOOD!), we drove out to a National Wildlife Refuge near Burnet. Our Journey On the way there, we ventured through some developments with marinas and/or boat docks. In one of them, we found this […]
{[I was going to post this on facebook in response to one of my college friends (and a ZTA sister) asking for donations of cash, instead of clothing/food for disaster relief. She’s right. …but that doesn’t diminish my concerns or alter my ability to donate. So, rather than endure the wrath of facebook, I’m posting […]
We have a new warm-weather date that is just perfect for a “school night”: beer floats Now, before you gross out–assuming we didn’t already lose you–it’s just beer for me and ice cream (in the form of a shake) for E. Amazingly, a place that has both of these was initially difficult to find, but […]
This weekend was Daddy’s golf tournament. [1] E couldn’t make the trip, so I trekked up to Paris on Friday. I was all the way there before I started to see (mostly on Twitter and some on facebook) all the jokes about the Rapture. I called E to say hello and made some of my […]
Last week, our Internet speed was inconsistent, and we ended up with a tech call to have the problems investigated. While the tech worked on lines and such, we chatted. He’s lived in New York and hasn’t been in Austin all that long. At one point, he was telling me about living in “this little […]
For those liked the story about me being stranded with no gas and no phone…you need to watch the movie One Fine Day. At 1:04 into the movie when Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is at the police station….that’s about how I looked and felt that day. The movie pretty much sums up the kind of […]
