TV Geek

If anyone knows me well, then they know I love TV.  This fall, I'll be spending a lot of time perched on the sofa.  I sometimes wonder if all the TV watching is a bad thing?  It's cheaper to watch TV then some other hobbies. :)

Our kitties

I just had to post the picture of Fred.  I think it's the best one we've ever taken of him!

Here's one of Fiona too.  She is a little bit bigger now but I think this is a cute picture of her.

Jamie's Bachelorette Weekend

The weekend of September 12th was Jamie's bachelorette party. I headed to Austin on Friday morning and met up with Mom and Heather. We jumped in the car and started south to San Antonio. It's always so nice to hang out with just the two of them. It makes me wish we all lived closer to each other to hang out more often.

We were staying at the Hotel Valencia Riverwalk which was a nice boutique hotel. They had given my reservation to another Foster but did get us a room...that is after the manager accused me of not knowing which hotel I had made a reservation with. I thought that was very rude as I had already given the girl at the desk my confirmation number. Despite that little issue, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

We just wandered around the Riverwalk on Friday night. We decided to eat Mexican food and unfortunately made a bad restaurant choice. Don't ever eat at Rio Rio! Of the nine people at the table, no one liked their food!

On Saturday, we got started with a late breakfast at Denny's which was very good. It put the bad Mexican food to shame! They have these new pancake puppies (like hush puppies) which we got as a starter ... very yummy! We then spent the rest of the day shopping! There were some great sales at Macy's.

Saturday evening we started the party by eating dinner at Dick's Last Resort. If you've never eaten there, it's an experience! The waitstaff are really mean to you! They make the dumb hats and throw paper towels everywhere. The food was actually really good and I got a souvenir glass. After dinner, we headed back to the hotel for the lingerie shower. We started off on the patio but it started raining so we had to bring it inside.

We then headed out to the bars! The concierge at the hotel got us into Acapulco Sam's for free! Yeah! After a while of dancing there, we headed to Howl at the Moon for the dueling pianos. We actually ran into our waiter from Dick's. I'd never been to a piano bar. They had drums and a base guitar so I thought the piano was kind of drowned out. Maybe I should have drank more and I wouldn't have cared what it sounded like!

Sunday morning we got up and hit the road rather early. Heather had a test to study for and I had the additional 2 1/2 hour drive back to Houston.

Had to include a pic of the Alamo!

My silly hat from Dick's. It says: I finally moved up to a 28AAA.

Jamie ready to start the festivities.

Labor Day Weekend

We enjoyed a relaxing Labor Day weekend. Zack and I didn't do anything special on Saturday or Sunday. We were invited to our friends Scott and Lori's for a BBQ on Monday. They recently bought a home in the Spring Branch area. Scott made some great chicken and Lori made some bleu cheese cole slaw which was delicious! I would not think to put bleu cheese in cole slaw but it added an amazing flavor. I'll be adding this to my recipe book. I made some yummy peanut butter cookies. They have a mini Reeses peanut butter cup baked inside of them!

We spent most of the day lounging in their pool. As you can see in this picture of Zack, he was being his 'normal' self.

Bad blogger

I'd say I've been a bad blogger lately. I feel like I never have anything to say and always need pictures to post along with my entry. I read a lot of blogs and they never have pictures so I don't know why I think I need them too.

We had a bridal shower for my cousin Jamie last weekend. I have a few pics that I'll try to post soon. Her bachelorette party is next weekend which should be fun!

I had a busy week at work. We are moving around offices and I was one of the first people to move. This will be my 3rd office in 4 years! One of the girls has moved about 4 or 5 times in the last 2 years. Do all companies do this to their people??? I really like my new office - it's bigger! The furniture doesn't match very well but I'm going to try to swap it out with another office next week. Hopefully, I'll be successful.

I'm looking forward to the Labor Day holiday weekend. We've been invited to two B-B-Q's and will try to make it to both.

Have a safe holiday weekend!
