Wings at Pluckers

January 1, 2014

Happy 2014 Everyone! So that pretty much sums up how my year started. Dog indiscretions aside, I'm feeling hopeful about 2014. I had a lot of major life changes in 2013 (uh, hello, QUIT MY JOB AND MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY), so 2013 was a bi...

The 2014 Houston Chevron Marathon

This is the opposite of awesome: Houston, is that a snowflake I see on the forecast?! "Wintry Mess in Heart of Texas"?! GIANT ASTEROID HEADED OUR WAY?! I thought we had a deal, Houston. Well, if my beautiful, perfect weather is going to be...

Beck's Prime in Memorial Park

January 1, 2014

There are three very important things I need to discuss: 1) THIS WEATHER WE'RE HAVING. Oh. my. gorsh. THIS is why I moved back to Houston - forget the fact that I'm now close to my family that I love so much and have an amazing job that I l...
