It's FRIDAY!

Play along HERE!

1. My favorite place I've ever traveled to is   Colorado. I loved the landscape. I loved Garden of the Gods. I only wish I was in better shape when we went, because I pooped out on hikes and there was just SO much nature to take in.

2.    Ireland     is somewhere I'd love to go someday.

3. I pass the time on a plane (or bus, or car ride or train) by     talking. I can talk and talk and talk. Listening to music. Reading magazines. Reading my Kindle.

 

4. My three must-haves when I travel are    drink ,   snacks and     music .

5. My favorite travel companion is    I might have said my sister but there was that one road trip to Dallas where she made me listen to RENT. Jeremy is definitely my favorite travel companion.

6. The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is    when we were driving back from Pensacola, Fl. We pulled off the highway to a little rinky-dink diesel truck stop in Louisiana for gas. Jeremy pulled up to the pump and turned the car off when I realized the gas tank was on the other side {that's what happens when you've been driving for hours and hours}. When Jeremy went to start the car to pull around...the engine didn't even turn over. No notice, no clicking, no sputtering..no anything. Thankfully my Mom was behind us on the highway and I called her to come rescue us. One trip down the road to an Autozone and one brand new battery later, we were back on the road headed home.

7. The most exotic food I've ever tried while traveling is    a hot dog from a street vendor in Acuna, Mexico.

8. If I could live anywhere else, I'd live in   I don't know! It's hard to imagine ever living anywhere other than Texas. I love my state.

 

9. I have been to eight 

states in the U.S

Wednesday Mash Up

Geez y'all!! I have been cccrrraazzzyyy busy this week. After my 'digital detox' and being out of town for the weekend I feel like everything got a little out of whack. Like I'm just a step behind. We just got around to grocery shopping tonight...and it was MANDATORY..because we were out of everything. Jeremy and I have both been sick. It was rainy today. Ya know...LIFE keeps happening. lol.
But I know everything will get back to normal soon enough.

I had a super great weekend. My mom and I drove up to see my sister for her birthday but we were able to sneak up to Denton to see Jonessa and her brand new baby boy, Seth! Poor Jonessa had that dazed and confused look going on. Being a brand new Momma is hard work.

We surprised my sister with our visit..she had no idea we were coming. But THEN we surprised her with a party at her apartment. I have discovered that I am not a very good liar when under pressure. I am NOT able to lie on the fly!

Jonessa suggested speaking with a foreign accent to confuse the person I am speaking to long enough to think of something else to say. Good idea...except I was trying to fib to my sister. I'm not sure she would have fallen for the foreign accent.

My cousin, Briana (she is presenting the cupcakes above), who lives with my sister is celebrating her birthday today {Happy Birthday, Bri!}. And my sister planned a surprise birthday party for HER on Sunday. So..it was one crazy weekend of surprise birthday parties at my sister's place.

*Subject change*

Has anyone else tried BodyCombat at the gym? It's like Tae Bo...on crack. I LOVE it! It get's my heart rate up and I'm sweating. It's a great way to get out any frustrations. Even though I know I'm NOT..it makes me feel like a total bad ass.

OH! Guess what I signed up for today?! The Hot Chocolate 5k next month!!! I'll run for chocolate. There is a time restriction of a 15 mile..after that they open the roads back up to traffic. I've only AVERAGED a 14: 21 mile on my own at a walk/jog pace...so hopefully I won't be waved off the course for being too slow. Nervous! Excited!

OH! AND! I got my Jessica Simpson dress in. My Facebook people have already seen this pic but I'll share with y'all too!

Confessions of a Former Anti-Cat Human

I'm taking a short break away from the internets. This is a self-imposed digital detox. No blogging, google reader, email, or facebook. In the meantime enjoy this guest post by my cousin, Briana.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve never been a cat person. In fact, I don’t think that I’m much of a cat person now. I certainly wouldn’t go get one for myself and allow it into my house.

Why? Mostly because I’m pretty freakin’ allergic! Ask my cousins. I used to sleep over at their house, where they had a cat and within about 30 minutes or so my eyes would start watering, I would start sneezing up a storm, and my throat would start closing up and I would get all wheezy and sneezy and all that… .

I really think it’s an overall conspiracy by cats around the world. They can sense when people are allergic to them! They sniff those people out and immediately park themselves in said allergic person’s lap. Coincidentally, the same time those people go over to their cousin’s house without taking their medication. Both Squeak and Otto have done this to me, thankfully, no clawing or biting happened during said lap occupations. Although that has happened before, and attacking my feet and pretending to like me only to bite or hiss at me. The list goes on and on…

I love dogs! I didn’t use to like a lot of animals when I was growing up, but as an adult I really do appreciate canines. Some of my friends have some of the greatest dogs ever and I want one, once I don’t live in an apartment where a big dog would go crazy.

With all of that being said…I hate to admit it, and it pains me to actually say it. But a certain cat has slightly taken away my dislike for felines. That’s right, I, a former anti-cat human, love a cat.

This is probably the only cat that I will ever treat like this. She’s a cuddler, she’s playful, she plays fetch! Sort of. Essentially, she’s a semi-dog in cat form. I think that’s why we have bonded so well. She also curls up in your lap, lets you scratch her belly, and she snores when she naps! You’d have to have a heart of stone not to be charmed by this cat.

Don’t get me wrong, she has her cat moments where she walks on my arms when I’m trying to type on my laptop or she’ll streak across the room and claw at my beloved chair. Or prevent us from having a Christmas tree inside the apartment because she chews on the light chords and swats at the ornaments. Or try to sneak into my room, which is the only “No Mila Zone” in the entire apartment.

And even though I have to take a pill to live with her every day, I’m kinda fond of that dastardly feline. My roommate is probably jumping for joy at reading this. Because even though I’ve told her that I don’t mind her cat, I haven’t really publicly announced it before. So…here I am.

Hello, my name is Briana, and I am a former anti-cat human. Don’t spread that around though, I got a rep to protect.
