Holidays are a great time to get together with friends and family.
The Tiny Dancers and I got together, naturally, for a night of fun.
I absolutely adore these girls.
I am so grateful to have had 10 years of friendship with these lovelies.
Of course Crash came too :)
and then the next day the parentals and I watched Crash,
and beads of sweat glisten off his sexy muscles,
glorify God
as he rocked the drums during worship at church.
I also got to spend some great quality time with bestie making everybody annoyed at Borders Books by being obnoxiously loud like we were 6th graders again.
So Im having issues with the fact that I am NOT in England right now. I am still trying to convince myself that it is a good thing that I didn't travel anywhere on my week off. I did head to Dallas for an extended weekend. YAHOO!!
DALLAS SB 2010!
So exciting!
(note my sarcasm)
One convincing factor that it was a good idea to stay put over spring break is that on Sunday I could NOT keep my eyes open. I slept SO much. I definitely needed it and would not be able to sleep if I was surrounded with british accents (men) in an exciting place such as London.
I also wouldn't have had a wine and dinner night with the "Tiny Dancers" if I was in England. A free meal made by a fabulous cook. Yeah I could have had wine and a fabulous dinner, but it definitely wouldn't have been free nor would it have been spent with such good company :)
I wouldn't have worked out with "bestie" at the "skinny jeans" class at Equinox gym for FREE if I was in England. My legs would still be functioning properly and I would not be so sore to the point of immobility if I was in England right now..but whats the fun in that?
I also wouldn't have gone to the Dallas Zoo with "Crash" if I was in England. A cheap $12 entertainment choice. Look at all the money I saved!
And I got to see this lil guy!
He's wavin!
"Hi! Im fancy!"
these beauties are fascinating
The picture below is a remake of a picture we took once when we were 17 in NYC. Ill try to find it and put it up to compare.
The elephant and giraffes were in a temporary home while their new home was in construction.
(and since Im sick I sound 5 yrs old)
But I really shouldn't be complaining because Im getting LOTS of visitors in Austin this weekend. Its the South by Southwest film/music festival and lots of celebrities are in town.
Its my time to shine! Cant wait to bolt around with huge sunglasses and hipster wear with Adam Brody on my arm. sigh. a girl can dream cant she?
Dont second guess that I wont meet every celebrity I can.
I have taken a nice, long, 4 and a 1/2 day break from anything computer. No email checking, no twittering (except for once yesterday) no Facebook and no blog posting. ahhhhh. I must say, it feels quite relaxing sometimes. Until I check my email this morning to all of the parent emails I had gotten over the weekend about the project that was due today in class. oops! Oh well. the weekends are my days off. I technically don't HAVE to respond.
The reason for my hiatus? Drummer boy came to visit. Previously nicknamed "nicknameless boy", but I decided drummer boy is his best description. maybe la drummer? drumsticks? Tama? Snare? China cymbal? high hat? splash? crash?
WAIT a tick......Crash sounds kinda cool.
Dangerous
Loud
When you see one you always have to check it out.
wowoweeeewaaaa. Im funny.
Crash. it. is.
(crash is a type of cymbal on a drum set)
and please, try not to drool over Crash's amazing rhythmical talent. He's crazy good.
A special thanks to Multicolored Sprinkles for her shout out to my blog. I love giraffes. Shes neat. I like her.
