Friday, She in Love

Friday night was a blast. Reuben V is like a young Santana. He's funky, has soul, and an amazing voice. His original music is great. His band is great. I was so glad I went. My friend was fun. He brought his roommate and she is like a character on SNL. She is so funny and makes these total rubber-faces that crack me up. I'm glad I didn't chicken out. I even work high heels.

Yesterday was a Mommy/Zoe Saturday. We had a great time, although she woke up as Miss Crankypants. She went to a church ice cream party with my Dad Friday night and ended up staying up beyond late. She woke up telling me about her friends being there. This play where THE GUY YELLED THE WHOLE TIME. And how the power went out in the elevator and they got trapped.

She wanted McDonald's pancakes for breakfast, but mom wasn't having it. There are so many new places for me to find here, so I wanted some real food. She loved the place I picked. French toast with powdered sugar and eggs and bacon. I barely ate again. The steroids helped for a few days, but then they stopped and I'm not eating again.

Then we decided to go to the Tower of the Americas. She LOVED it.

"Mommy, you can see the whole wide world."

"Can we live up here?"

"Can we come back tomorrow? I want to go here every week."

And she loved going to the outside observation deck. It's really windy and our hats flew off.

[aside]
You see I'm trying to teach Zoe the value of good skin care. Which includes wearing sunscreen, using moisturizer, and wearing hats with a wide brim. She tans easily, but she has random freckles (the cutest one is the one on the tip of her nose. She also has a matching one behind her knee, just like I do). So we both wore these woven cowboy hats. Hers is so cute on her. It's never too early to start taking care of your skin.

So Windy:

I think we were there for well over an hour. She wanted to see the Hillary Duff movie again, but I'd rather eat dirt. So we saw Step Up instead. It wasn't really a kid movie, but I knew Zoe would love the music and the dancing. Which she did.

My friends then came over for dinner. Their A/C went out, which is truly unbearable in Texas. So they grilled some chicken and we hung out and watched The Silence of the Lambs - still a damn spooky movie.

Ok, well it's like 1pm and I am still in my jammies. I'm going to a church thing at 5 for new parishoners and then we are going to go to mass.

I can do this. I'm exploring my city.

Your assignment for today is to find a visitor's type spot in your city. Maybe you've been there before, maybe not. But just go check it out. I haven't lived here in about 15 years, but it's kind of fun to do all the touristy things like a newbie. Enjoy!

I'm trying. I'm trying. But it's not working.
