Houston Astros Games and then a Little Extra Sumpin' Sumpin'

April 1, 2014

Why hello, April! That photo is of me and my high school BFFL Erica before an Astros game. Based on the Reeboks I was wearing, you would justifiably think the year was 1984, but you would be mistaken as it was actually 2006 kids. I'm not a...

Happy Hour at Shade

April 1, 2014

This post was supposed to be about the amazing brunch I had at Brick and Spoon with my lady friends Megan and Boh. But someone (ME) accidentally deleted those photos from my phone, so....oh darn, now I get to go back! And for now I'll talk...

Brunchin' at Brick & Spoon

April 1, 2014

Guys. I'm going to NYC in roughly 16 days, and I'm going to smoosh faces with my friends, shove pizza down my throat, dance to wild 80s tunes at my friend Mike's rockin' wedding, and bask in the tale as old as time tradition of brunch. But...

Vacation Days: Las Vegas

March 1, 2014

Last month I was able to go away for a weekend trip to Las Vegas to celebrate my friend Meredith's 30th birthday. In addition to participating in the standard Vegas activities of eating my weight in food and winning $37 at a roulette table...

The 2014 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

March 1, 2014

On my long list of reasons I was excited to move back to H-Town a year ago, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo definitely ranked high. The list went something like this: Being close to my family. Never seeing another snowflake for as long...

Bingo Night in the Heights

March 1, 2014

Y'all. I'm going to Peru. In a feverish fit of "I need to do something wild and independent and exciting and visit some more countries," I booked a solo trip to Peru for later in the year to visit Lima, Cusco, and hike Machu Picchu, followe...

A Trip to the Suburbs: Christopher's in Humble

March 1, 2014

Prepare yourself for some super hipster photos. Well, for me anyway. I'm playing with this new "Matte" action I installed on my Photoshop, and it's just so darn fun! It's also so darn fitting for this post because this was the day I sat in...

369 Oriental Bistro

March 1, 2014

This year I had the PERFECT Valentine's Day, complete with Chinese Takeout, Netflix, and the best Valentine I could ever ask for! Also there's a 100% chance that the "best Valentine I could ever ask for" cost me my entire security deposit t...

Berryhill

February 1, 2014

It's February! Get excited! In truth, February might historically be my least favorite month. As a cynical teenager/early twentysomething, my February Hatred was about the anxiety of being single on Valentine's Day. Then when I was in relat...

Beaver's

February 1, 2014

Want to hear a funny story? (I'm hoping that if I charm you with a funny story, we can all ignore the fact that it's been FOURTEEN DAYS since I've put a post up here. Though I did warn you.) The other day I was at the Kroger on West Gray, g...

A Trip to the Suburbs: The Union Kitchen in Kingwood

February 1, 2014

Hey guys, remember me? My February is a wee bit busy, so full disclosure, my schblog posts are going to be a wee bit limited this month. But I promise they'll become more regular soon old chaps. I also promise to stop talking like I'm stuck...
