Loved This!

I went Tuesday to see this movie {by myself, love doing that}, and it was incredible. It was a total strong girl, coming of age movie. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD, so I can buy it and watch it over and over.

It has some great actresses in it too like Drew Barrymore, Juliet Lewis, Kristen Wiig, and the young but great, Ellen Page. Who are all tough, rockin', roller derby chicks in the movie.

And it is set in Austin- whoo, whoo. There is quite an Austin theme in my life lately.

Why I Love Austin

Why do I love Austin, TX? Because this is what they put on their construction signs.

The Size of Our World

I love stumbleupon.com, and while stumbling , I found this to be interseting. The source was unknow, by the way.




This makes me think of some kind of cosmic Russian dolls. I have trouble grasping the vastness of our universe and beyond. It just makes me feel too small and insignificant if I try for too long.

Late You Tube Tuesday

Since I'm so excited about Panic next week, I found this old video to get me in the mood even more.

A Revealing Questionnaire

Lately I've been new blog hunting and found this new blog through this blog that I already followed. There was this little questionnaire posted that Little Ms Blog said anyone could steal. So I am. Maybe this will give some insight into who I am ( probably some things that I never would have revealed on my own). You are suppose to answer the questions saying if you're guilty or innocent of the doing whatever the question asks. It's kind of like the drinking game I've Never.

Asked someone to marry you? Innocent
Ever kissed someone of the same sex? Guilty
Danced on a table in a bar? Guilty
Ever told a lie? Guilty
Had feelings for someone whom you can’t have back? Guilty
Kissed a picture? Guilty
Slept in until 5 PM? Guilty
Fallen asleep at work/school? Guilty
Held a snake? Guilty
Been suspended from school? Guilty ( only in-school suspension)
Worked at a fast food restaurant? ?? (does Chucky Cheese count?)
Stolen from a store? Innocent
Been fired from a job? Innocent
Done something you regret? Guilty
Laughed until something you were drinking came out your nose? Guilty.
Caught a snowflake on your tongue? Guilty.
Kissed in the rain? Guilty
Sat on a roof top? Guilty
Kissed someone you shouldn’t? Guilty.
Sang in the shower? Guilty.
Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on? Guilty
Shaved your head? Innocent.
Had a boxing membership? Innocent...I think because I don't know what that means.
Made a boyfriend cry? Guilty.
Been in a band? Innocent
Shot a gun? Guilty
Donated Blood? Guilty

Been told that you’re handsome or beautiful by someone who totally meant what they said? Guilty

Got totally drunk on the night before exam? Guilty
Got totally angry that you cried so hard? Guilty

Please cut and paste this onto you blog, so I can see just how alike or different we are!

Please Send Us Your Positive Thoughts

I forgot to mention earlier that Greg is taking the third part of the CPA exam tomorrow. So far he has passed the two parts that he's taken on the first try, but it's still very nerve racking for him. Please send some positive thoughts and/or prayers this way tomorrow. Thanks and let me know when I can repay the favor.

Upcoming Travel Plans

In about a week and a half, Greg and I are going here


to see


I'm super excited! I love Austin and, of course, love Panic. The shows are 10/30 and 10/31....halloween! Which I also love. I can't wait!!

I'm hoping some of you have been to Austin and can tell me where to get the best fish tacos. The place needs to be somewhere close to the downtown Sheraton Hotel, since we always walk or take taxis everywhere we go when on vaca { cause you never know when the mood to get hammered will strike when you have no responsibilities}.

I also can't wait to go here when we get there

And here

The Whole Foods downtown Austin is a whole city block. Anyone, who knows me, knows that this is like the mother ship calling me home. Oh, and it just so happens that the Whole Foods and the Anthropologie are right across the street from each other. Austin really is the coolest city ever.

I'm also just beside myself about getting my husband all to myself, with no CPA exam materials anywhere in sight. This will very much help my plan to come home with a little, Panic fan on board. Maybe we'll name it Austin, if it's a boy, or Antrhopologie, if it's a girl. Hahaha. Or Sheraton or Panic or......

Anyways, let me know if you have some favorite spot in Austin that we must see. Or any old wives' tales tricks on how to conceive a boy...... preferably some that are fun and not any that I have to eat or drink anything nasty.
