August 25, 2010

One of the things that is great about having fun friends is the unusual entertainment opportunities that arise. A few weeks ago I received an email from a friend that invited us to go with him and his wife to the roller derby: We could pack some drink/food/appetizers and drink/eat before and during the event.

June 6, 2010

Yesterday I participated in the i heart faces photo walk in Dallas. 40 local photographers and bloggers showed up to tour the town with camera in hand. It was literally a paparazzi gang let loose on the unsuspecting streets of Dallas and its inhabitants. We roamed and clicked for hours. It was really fun to [...]

i drove all over town for silly bandz

May 17, 2010

I am not really a collector. I escaped all the frenzied collection trends of the last 40 years – friendship beads, cabbage patch kids, beanie babies and webkinz are all items for which I have avoided seeking and spending. A few weeks ago Ryan started talking about the “animal shaped rubber bands“. He was pretty [...]

Splashing around DFW

February 16, 2010

Yes, last week we were SNOWED in… 12 1/2 ” ya’ll! C.R.A.Z.Y. A few days later we are still shivering, but the snow is almost gone. It was so weird seeing SNOWBANKS in local shopping center parking lots. Anyway, we are slowly thawing out and I am trying my best to segue into some WATER [...]

Texas Safari

November 8, 2008
