Austin Loves Us

Zoe and I had a lovely time in Austin with my friend Mr. D, Sis #3 and her main dude. I also got to see Bro #2 and Bro #3. I really love my siblings. They are all so unique and interesting.

I love Austin. I miss my old haunts. It's changed quite a bit, but I still find it just very cool. It was great to see all the old places I used to relax or work out, eat, listen to music. Yes, it's changed a bit too much for me, but I still adore it. I feel very at home there.

I think until I can figure out exactly where I will end up, San Antonio will remain our home.

We hit Trudy's, Amy's Ice Cream, Z-Tejas Grill, Zilker Park, the Children's Museum, a kid's festival, and saw lots of my old stomping grounds. Zoe learned a scary lesson (and even apologized). We were down by Deep Eddy pool and the playground. We went for a little walk and she was on her bike. She got really far ahead of us, but then when we got to the top, we had no idea which way she went.

We waited for a while, but she never appeared. So I had to call the cops and asked a few passers-by if they had seen her. One nice soul took down my phone number and went off to find her (I had to wait for the park police). Eventually she was spotted down near riverside and Lamar and the kind stranger returned her to me. She wasn't even afraid. She had gone out in search of the "dog park." But later on she told me that she was afraid and was asking people if they had seen *me* because *I* was lost. I said a few prayers, but I wasn't horribly nervous. I did burst into tears for a minute, but I had a feeling she would come back to me. The police were really quick to respond. And Zoe was easily recognizable.

Pink Hello Kitty helmet. Barbie bike. Pink paisley halter top. Blue jean mini. And the coolest black cowgirl boots ever seen. I wish I had a pair just like them.

I wish I could have all my favorite things in one city. My parents. My siblings. My hospital. My friends. My favorite places. My Zoe. Zoe's school. And my gym.

Zoe now has a new favorite home - Sis #3 has a wii. Zoe was loving it. She would rather wii than eat, sleep, play Barbies or eat candy. I tried it out and it's totally cool. I told her if she earned half the cost, I might be willing to get one for her (if I can find one). I did have a blast and it was fun because you aren't just sitting there. You can play tennis, bowling, baseball or boxing. She looked so damn funny playing it. Zoe and Sis #3 even would do a victory dance exactly the same. Too too cute. I can't wait to go back. The drive was pretty easy for me.

Anyway, still cleaning and writing letters now.

I can do this. Zoe had an angel watching over her.

Your assignment today is to enjoy something related to Spring. We have been watching the storms come in and Zoe enjoyed helping Momo plant some beautiful Spring flowers. It's been some nice picnic and park weather, even if it is still a little hot. I kicked my cold, but have some residual allergies and I think I now do have GVH of the skin. I can't get rid of this dumb damn rash. But I'm here. And I feel great.

I miss you internets. I miss my Brenda. I'm sure we all do.
