Crank

(this is from last friday night - tid bit late in posting)

Last night began with a cheery start, as weazled my way through heavy traffic, home to my dear Hubby. We were raring to watch our Spurs take on the Mavs and so I fixed some super yummy burritos, beans and rice and we settled in for the exhilarating game that kept us on the edge the entire way through. Halftime came around, Spurs were up by one in this extremely close game and we both agreed that a trip to HEB for icecream was in order. What's a game without icecream? ;)

I was in the car in seconds. H stayed behind to play with the dog and clean the kitchen. A short drive down the road and as i was turning into the HEB parking lot a cop flashed his lights on me and pulled me over - for what??? I was NOT speeding. I had my lights on. I put my blinker on to get into the turn lane. What in the world???

A very large cop approached my car and I immediately asked, "um, hi, why did you pull me over?" "Well, you passed a car on the left in a turn lane."
Rewind here. Okay. There was a slow moving truck before me, but I stuck it out until about ten feet before the turn lane began for HEB. I did pass him, but I was just cruising up to the light in the turn lane, and not trying to get in front of him. I was going the speed limit, again, I must make that clear and known (to those of you who doubt my driving).
He asked for my insurance. Boy, did I tear that car apart trying to find our newest insurance card. I explained that this was a new car and I needed a little bit to open up the manual book and the glove compartment. He was fine to wait. I called my hubby in frustrated tears, asking where the insurance card was. I finally found it - right where it should be - in the glove compartment.

The cop was still not budging. . . so I got a traffic citation for this stupid 'offense' which I am baffled by. I am still wondering if I should contest it. It seemed like a completely ridiculous thing for me to get a citation for.


I was in a pretty irate mood in the store as I grabbed our ice cream essentials. I drove VERY carefully home and couldn't bring myself to watch our team struggle against the Mavs in the state I was in. I had to clean the kitchen first, and settle down. H informed me that we were winning, and so we got our icecream and finished off the cranky night with a Spurs win. WOHOO.

Life goes on. I admit, my attitude was not stellar, but I still feel like this was not fair. :( Kay, done with my pity party.

FRIDAY

WOHOO!!!

We made it . . . FINALLY!

Blogger's Block

Why is it that when I do have time to blog, I am always racking my brain to find something to say??? Its like a blog fart, I say. That being said, don't get your hopes up about me blogging.

So its Friday, I am sipping the blackest cup of coffee ever and trying to organize a mental list of everything I need to do today. Uggh.

Hector is looking at me with disgust. Last night was so boring for him - A night out with my sister cost him a night out on the town (aka a walk). I thought he'd burn off that hyper-crazy energy running up and down the stairs with me. Alas, only I was tired.

Blah blah blah - I told you this was a boring post ;)

You say hello, and I say goodbye . . .

This will be a late night full of packing and getting ready for our trip to New Mexico for a family reunion. Whew - its been quite a week! The NBA finals (= LATE NIGHTS! ;) Work busy-ness, family happenings, and some exciting decisions and opportunities have left us with a big adrenaline rush.

It is only a matter of time until we crash ;)

We'll be back on Monday - sadly missing our wonderful church & a Spurs victory parade at the riverwalk ;(

Have a wonderful weekend, and a blessed Father's Day!

Summer Nights

The past two weekends we have been having fun around downtown San Antonio. Long weekdays sort of lend themselves to a desire for relaxing rambles down at the riverwalk ;) And, last night, we enjoyed a night of Shakespeare, under the stars for the 'Taming of the Shrew'.

(You can see production photos here)

These are pics from the riverwalk. We did a little adventuring in a different section, visiting the new Aztec theater. It was so cool that we decided that we need to go back and actually see a movie there someday :)

A building we both love (can never remember the name!)

Just a little dark

A parade of lights

Friday - It couldn't have come at a better time ;)

Its been a very long week, and I am glad to see it at its end now.
Hubby and I celebrated the weekend over Chipotle burritos and later, a Lost episode we missed last week. Sigh.
I have the best hubby ever - he mopped all the floors (kitchen & bathroom), unloaded the dishwasher, and disinfected the toilets. I didn't even nag him ;) What a guy :)
I have a lot of BSF lessons to finish before tomorrow's meeting, and its already 10pm!

We are tucking ourselves in for the night, as a sever thunderstorm is headed our way. Night Night!

*Yeah - I am procrastinating about those Ohio trip pics - I'll get to it ;)

Happy Friday - the 13th, AHHH!

At Last

Its Friday.


Its been sort of a grueling week for us, with H sick and me working extra hours to cover for my coworker. I am a wee bit-ish tired.

But tonight will be a good payoff.

- Paydays for both of us
-Haven's feeling better
-We are going out to dinner tonight - we had to raincheck our Olive Garden dinner on Valentine's Day :(
-We are 18 days from moving! WOOHOO!


p.s.
Go check out MSN's "week in pictures" - Oh yeah, take particular notice of #4 (I thought it was funny that that made it into their collection).
