picture review of weekend events
Thursday PM- Stayed at work until midnight. Chris joined me at 10pm when I freaked out about being all alone there. He was going to come anyway to pick me up, and ended up being a big help with my work. He was SUCH a lifesaver, driving me home, staying up with me while I packed (until 3:30am) and all the while moving heavy boxes downstairs to store it @ Roz’s pad. He even offered to pack my kitchen stuff so we could go to bed (he planned on driving me to BWI at 6:30am to catch my flight to Texas–is that AMAZING or what?) Incredible.
Friday morning, we were hit by a truck not 1 minute after leaving my house at 7am. The truck didn’t even stop or try to turn to run away, it kept going down 16th street as if nothing had happened and it was going on its merry way! THe driver must have figured that he or she couldn’t get caught because the plate was so dirty and the numbers on the "How am I driving?" sticker was cut off! what an asshole.
So I take a cab to the airport after chatting with the cops (see Chris wearing the PHA shirt–ahhahah! awesome)
Here’s me and my mom at lunch in Austin.
My sister, mom and I went on a bat cruise of the Santiago River (is that the river name? it’s not anything romantic like the Seine or Thames… or silly like the Potomac or Nile, so who can remember?)
We’re at the State Capital Building.
My mom and me loving each other (I’m her favorite, seriously.)
My mom really hated when I took this picture. You should have seen the other picture of when I put the GBush Sr. bronze head at the capital building in between my boobs!
Here is a picture of the bats that are famous in the city. Millions live under the bridge and come out in waves at least 3-4 times at dusk. Austin is liberal, fun, funky, with great bars, monuments and museums. The history is pretty cool too. Did you know that Texas was its own country for 10 years before joining the Union? The great nation of Texas. Oi vey! Craziness!
My mom got over my boob meet bigger boob (Bush, that is) and here we are enjoying the cruise, our company, and a sprite and diet coke. Oh yeah, and my sis Alex’s company too I guess.
Saturday night we celebrated Carlena’s birthday with a subway dinner and Harry Potter Goblet’s o’ Fire Slumber Party with her friend Victoria. Aundrea and I snuck out of the festivities to webcam chat with my friend who likes me (she told me I could do much better, but I reminded her that he’s only my friend and that I hearty-heart Chris!) Later, I slept on the floor of the living room with Aundrea and Luzy.
The morning after (not pill) I gave Carlena, Luzy and my sister Alex MP3 players and set them up with music for their b-day. Then we went to the beach at Corpus Christi. It was totally fun. I got stung by jelly fish four times. I swear they like Mexican meat. I used to complain about the water in my eyes and salty water, but with my nieces, sis and mom, it was totally fun. Carlena had a temper tantrum on the way back, but she calmed down and all is good.
Tomorrow my sister goes to work, kids go to school and my mom and I will either clean up my sister’s house or shoot the shit and make fun of each other. AWESOME!
