It’s been a busy morning. 4 dogs at the butt crack of waking up … barks galore. *sigh* It also didn’t help upon leaving the house that our window repair guys came … therefore more barking. Oyyy veyy.
Tammy and I got ready and got our nails done. You like? We promise the coral-y color is different. Mine is more pink. Tammy’s is more orange! But it obviously doesn’t look that way.
We also got a Groupon for 59 Diner! And this is only one meal … Yikes! And Tammy’s plate was filled with food as well. Cheap. Delicious. Filling.
I finally got Vine. As of now, you can probably find me as Cripple15 since I didn’t put my name. Do you like it? It’s my first video! And if you don’t like it … well then. Friendship is over.
Our plans are to stay here so she could study for a few more then head back home and hang out with brother, Sissy, and BIL. Love these days.
Till we leave I’ll be reading up on bloggeroonies while watching Season 9 of Grey’s! Happy Friday y’all! Have a great weekend!
Lunch with the coworkers and BossMan. We went to La Madeline’s then Ooh La La Bakery. Here we have the Red Velvet. I wasn’t a great fan of it. Pure sugar in the frosting and no taste in the cake part.
Happy Hour with the coworkers and BossMan. My usual Guinness. They know how to do it right here at The King’s Head Pub. Lots of foam. YUM!
Friday:
Day off = Dentist appointment. Not a fan of any kinds of doctors. Got an Asian Dentist … racists. jk. Got my teeth cleaned and told that I need to extract all four of my wisdom teeth. Scared. Need to set appointment. Ahh first surgery of my life.
Sonic run with June after Just Dance 3. Pretty much ate back everything we burned. I got a mini strawberry milkshake and almost didn’t finish. I don’t know how people can do sweets like this.
Saturday:
Almost took this baby home. A Chiuauaua mix. He was the right height for running and right size to pick up and cuddle with. Too hyper out of the kennel though and wasn’t potty trained.
Sunday:
Sissy & Brett came home to visit and brought Bruno Baby. Can’t get enough of his cuteness.
Old school blood pressure measurer. With mercury and everything.
Sunday night football … Texans lost.
Red Velvet Cake for Sissy’s early birthday celebration. Soooo good. Better than Ooh La La. We had Korean BBQ to celebrate as well. No more Korean BBQ for a long while … haha
My life isn’t really crazy wild like others. Anyway, I hope this week is going well for all. We’re almost there! 😉
I’ve been a bit lagged on Google Reader. Whoopsies. I’ll get there. I always do.
***************************
A few days ago some of my coworkers and I went to:
Nom Nom Noodles 1635 Eldridge Pkwy Ste 400 Houston, TX 77077 (281) 497-602 www.nomnomnoodles.com
Vermicelli Combo aka Bun Dac Biet [combination of grilled pork & chicken vermicelli rice noodles served with house sauce, green onions, lettuce, pickled carrots, pickled daikon, bean sprouts, cucumbers, carrots, & crushed peanuts} | $7.79
Additional $1.99 for a choice of one eggroll or one spring roll plus a fountain drink …
Which I wished I knew because I would not have taken that. I don’t like soda much and that spring roll looked a little sad. Yeah, this place is good if I want Pho close to work … but I’ve had better. My coworkers thought it tasted pretty darn good though. Guess it was just mine that was not up to par.
***************************
Today started out a little different …
So gorgeous. The light shining through would be lighting and I love that the moon was just chilling up above. Surprisingly no rain came down the whole drive to work. And it reminded me of Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away:
“Dry lightning cracks across sky Those storm clouds gather in her eyes …”
Pretty obsessed with this song right now. Sad song though.
***************************
I made today an FTK day. Natural lighting aka florescent lights with an exposure value of +2.0 makes for some pretty pictures. Glowing! Haven’t wore my FTK polo in so long. I heard a lot of things about FTK from various people that are still in it and it seems a lot has changed. I wonder how it’s been. Guess I’ll be able to see when I go visit toward the end of the month.
***************************
Upon going with some of my coworkers to buy coffee … Venti Caramel Macchiato, a friend/old coworker told me to meet her downstairs by the elevator. She surprised me with a Tall Pumpkin Spice Latte. My first one ever and I loved it!
You would think a girl that doesn’t drink a lot of coffee would be wide awake … false. Coffee doesn’t do anything to me but make me pee like a horse.
***************************
source: not sure where she got this but I’m sure it was on Facebook …
A friend of mine sent me this. Ahh … makes me wish I was still in SA. And it’s nice I’m still thought of. Cannot wait to see her toward the end of the month as well!
Remember that one time I went to go give blood and they messed up? Well I went back in to give blood again, passed all the tests and got told I couldn’t give blood because the last time I did it, they took too much RBCs so now my body doesn’t have enough RBCs and I will have to wait til December.
Disappointed.
And what’s worse is Mallory and I scheduled our appointment together to hang out. Needless to say I went home and left her there. I was too sad to stay and watch everyone give blood.
***************************
Day off tomorrow and I have a list of errands to run. Weee!
Went to work earlier than usual and got a lot of stuff done.
Then I took a break and had Tazo Green Tea and bagel with Laughing Cow Cheese … the best cheese because it’s spreadable. Try it if you haven’t. You’ll love it.
Then Osvaldo and Fatimah came over and visited me. Fatimah and I then went and visited Rose, David E., and Michelle H. Went back and did a little more work then went off to lunch with Rose and Amy N.
Ruggles Green 801 Town & Country Boulevard Houston, TX (713) 464-5557 www.rugglesgreen.com
This is a really sweet restaurant! Reason? It’s Houston’s first Certified Green Restaurant!
Their cool seating thing. You stick your card in which has your order and it tells the people in the kitchen which table you’re at. Cool, eh?
Amy N.’s:
Ruggles Green Atlantic Salmon Salad [mixed greens, romaine, shaved carrots, boiled eggs, croutons, and queso fresco; tossed with mango ranch dressing and topped with chipotle honey seared salmon] | $15
Didn’t get to try it but she said it was DELICIOUS. The salmon looks dry because it’s so thin but she reassured me it wasn’t.
She said it’s a to try because it was so good.
Rose’s:
Vegetable Pizza [tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, mozzarella, fontina and feta and pesto sauce; topped with baby arugula and balsamic vinegar] | $13
I tried it and it was delicious! Not a fan of the arugula but other then that … so good. Pesto is always my favorite. And the flatness of the pizza was crispy yet it had enough chew. Does that even make sense?
Mine:
Veggie Sourdough Panini [grilled eggplant, Portobello mushrooms, onions, zucchini, organic hummus, and fresh goat cheese on sourdough] | $9
So dang good! I got a side of Quinoa Tabouleh. Yum! I’m in love with Quinoa Tabouleh. Teach me to make it! The Panini was so juicy. Love my veggies.
Mine:
Fire-Roasted Tomato Basil [served with crispy puff pastry dome and sliced mozzarella] | $6
YUM. I wasn’t a big fan of the puff pastry but the soup was SO good. It had a little spice to it.
Everything is SUPPOSE to be organic so it’s definitely costly but it’s worth the money.
After a wonderful meal, we went back in Amy N.’s car and uh … it wouldn’t start. After an hour in the parking garage her husband arrived and we switched cars so we could get back. Thank goodness. I did a little more work then it was time to go. I went down to visit Michelle H. again and we caught up a bit. It was nice.
Then it was time to look for a doggie! I went to CAP and SPCA.
Two cuties. But I’m not sure. They look like they’ll be kind of big.
I don’t understand how people can update 3-6 times a day. It’s a little ridiculous to me. Do y’all not have a life?! Or am I just SUPER lazy? I think it’s the latter. Anyway, the load in my Google Reader is making me stressed out.
So I relaxed with online shopping. Online shopping is the devil. I only bought stuff because I had coupons, else, I wouldn’t bother. But oh oh oh! I am excited for all the stuff that is going to be coming in the mail! I cannot wait!
Andrew C. texted me two songs yesterday and I’m already in love with them. I’ve replayed them a bunches of times! I think I broke the replay button. I love, love, love when I get new songs to listen to! Especially when they’re right up my alley! I was actually very surprised I got a text from him since I haven’t really talked to him in a long while but it was nice nonetheless to catch up a little bit.
And Travis now has internet/cable at his new apartment!! So we’re able to catch up. Seems life is going really well for him. No matter what he thinks. We’re all growing up. I wish I wasn’t though because my paycheck is now partially gone to pay back loans and buy my own insurance. Yuck.
But the good thing about growing up is looking for a puppy! My dream doggies pictured above. Shiba Inus. But they cost an arm and a leg and there are none in the shelters. Aren’t they cuties?!
Since I’m living at home, I had to get an okay from the parents … and I did! I’m so excited. I’ve been searching online for the one. I feel kind of bad doing so because I feel like I’m shopping for a dog. And that sounds HORRIBLE to me. I’ve been looking at shelters and I even downloaded the Petfinder app on my phone!
I wish I could adopt them all! They are all so dang cute. I’ve found one I really love but my parents aren’t so fond of him. Guess I have to keep looking. Hopefully I find one we all love because I cannot wait to have him/her with me forever and ever!
