A peek at Texas State

1. All the little bumps in life are easier to go over when my sisters are around.

2. Sun can still get to you under a tent which is under a tree.

3. College tours now are the same as they were in 1994.  Nice to know some things stay the same.

4. Whipped almond milk is surprisingly thick and creamy.

5. Living in a cool city means that not only do people want to visit you, but its easy to entertain them when they do.

6. There is such a thing as too much rock candy.

7. The name Sierra has been gentrified.

8. As much as I am still obsessed with candy, I have reached a point in life when I know enough is enough.

9. Very little in life goes as planned.

10.  According to Mad Men, I would have been considered middle aged in the 1960's.

Happy Birthday Faye!!

1.  Bangs are to stylish ladies as facial hair is to hipster men

2.  Colored skinny jeans are very in and look cute in a rainbow of colors (except on me, which is why I stick to skirts)

3.  I've become wise enough in my old age to know when it is and when it is not the right time to suffer in 5" heels

4.  Salami does not last forever in the fridge (that was actually Adam's deep thought)

5.  I still find Yoda to be awesomely wise: "Do or do not, there is no try"

6.  Faye turned 9 or 10 yesterday (I think 10) and I can't imagine the last decade without her by my side

7.  Actual events are often less stressful then what you think are going to be like

8.  Just because I CAN eat 3lbs of Alaskan king crab and 6 oysters AND cheese all at one meal, does not mean I SHOULD

9.  I made the best decision of my life when I moved to Austin, TX

10.  It's scarier to not try at all than to fail

1. If you work until 4 in the morning and push yourslef to the breaking point, you'll get the flu going around.

2. Callouses are just blisters with a hard shell.

3. When taking sinus medication and excess caffeine, perhaps a drill should be considered heavy machinery.

4. If your car has two flat tires and you are not in it, chances are high that it will be impounded if the cops beat your tow truck to it.

5. It's oddly hard to find a wedding venue for a wedding that's not too little, not too big, but juuuuussssst right in size...which is 40 and as far as venues go, a sort of weird size.

6. The contents of cupboards look insanely deceivingly less then when you empty them out onto every surface in your home.

7. Snoring trumps Nyquil.

8. Faye plays sick when I'm sick.

9. I am not a stress eater.  I always wondered that...but no, when stressed I actually forget to eat, which is much worse, because then I'm stressed AND cranky.

10. If the person you share your home with has the flu, you'll get the flu.

Faye and I found some time to relax with family today.

1.  Nothing can stand in my way when I'm on a mission...i.e.: my new cowboy boots are awesome.

2. Eating super healthy requires twice as much food as eating sort of healthy.

3. You can't taste spinach when you blend it with bananas, vanilla almond milk, protein powder and ice.

4. Just when you relax and think you don't have to move for another year, you find out that it's time to start packing.

5. There are only 5 or so styles of bridesmaids dresses.

6. Most wedding dresses are strapless.

7.  Knowing exactly what flatters your figure saves endless time shopping, especially when you tell it to sales people.

8.  There are more people like you out there than you think, you just have to know where to look.

9. Learning about the unexpected lose of a good friend will knock the breath out of you.

10. The harder you work on something, the greater the fear of failure.
