Hellooooo! I have been MIA for the last week because I was off gallivanting with my family in none other than The Happiest Place on Earth! I, of course, will continue posting about my Houston discoveries and shenanigans, but I think it's on...
Jeremy Grey: What do you like better, Christmas or Wedding Season? (raises hand) John Beckwith: Mr. Grey? Jeremy Grey: Yes. The answer would be, um, Wedding Season? John Beckwith: Bingo! - Wedding Crashers ---------- An incredible thing sta...
In my next life I want to be a food blogger. But, as I am a mediocre cook and can be somewhat of a disaster in the kitchen, I'm pretty sure it isn't my calling. However, I occasionally manage to cook up something good (a fluke, I am sure)....
I am one of those fortunate people who got both July 4th and 5th off from work, so I wanted to do something fun on my additional day off. Is there a better way to spend it than by touring the oldest craft brewery in Texas? I think not. The...
My sister is deathly afraid of butterflies. I'm sure her fear has somewhat subsided now that she is an adult, but if you mention one of God's Beautiful Creatures to her, to this day I swear you can see a flicker of fear flash behind her eye...
Happy Independence Day!! Three days ago I got an email from my overly ambitious mother titled "July 4th 5K," which is never a good sign. I'll give you three guesses as to how I spent my 4th of July morning… And I'm so glad I did! (Now if yo...
You know what I MISS? What my heart aches for every day?? John's Pizzeria on Bleecker Street in New York. ERMERGERD, it's like nothing I've ever tasted. Last night, I had my first flirtation with GOOD pizza since I've been back in Houston....
I was alerted on Monday by Hank On Food that it was National Chicken Wing Day. As if I'd needed an excuse. Aside from Domino's and frozen 'Anytizers (just buy some now from the grocery store, and don't ask any questions), I hadn't had any b...
A beautiful sight. Okay everyone, say it with me now: Huynh. Who…In. Whin. Huynh. Make sense? Despite my embarrassing failed attempts at pronouncing seemingly simple names correctly - which I swear I get from my mother who cannot pronounce...
For some (obvious) reason, birthdays always make me think of this: Source Oh, just look at you John Krasinski, with your dreamy smile and floppy locks. How are you even real? You're not. You're not. real. SO. Today is my 28th birthday. The...
Things I love: Kettle chips. Summertime. Cold beer on a hot day. Disney World. Wine. The beach. Sundresses. Duck salad with goat cheese, blackberries, red onions, and balsamic vinaigrette. Okay, I didn't know about the last one until I met...
When I was in college, all of my friends started talking about this amazing movie Garden State. The music! The actors! The scenery! So angsty, yet so uplifting! It's creative! It's smart! It's funny! It's the movie of our generation! YOU HA...
