All my posts seem to be centered around the weather.
I am an old lady when it comes to the weather. I think I am highly sensitive to the seasons, like most human beings. It is so lovely outside today! Pretty weather combined with being out for spring break has made for a wonderful week for Betty.
I have cleaning my house including carpet shampooing AND washing windows. I know, big stuff. Baby sister is getting married so tomorrow said sister, super awesome big sister, my mom and I are going to look at bridesmaid dresses together.
Only 5ish more weeks of real teaching and then 7th grade is dead to me! Woot! After TAKS we can focus on real PreAP material and get these goobs geared up for algebra.
I have been super achey lately, but not in the joint dept. In the "my crazy biological need to have a child" dept. I am giving us till June and really start trying. If nothing happens, I will go hit up the dr to get my pipes checked. I still have a gut feeling my baby will come soon. Patience patience!
To distract me from other goober obsessions, I want to re-do my dining room. Hopefully next weekends trip to Warrenton will have some inspiration or awesome mcm junk waiting for me!

Hace frio!
It's so chilly!
Like for real yo! It's the coldest it's been in Houston for years. I may let my horrible dogs sleep with us tonight to act as small space heaters. They can be functional from time to time.
Oh yeah, Happy New Year all! I had a super fantastic NYE with chief eating surf and turf and trying not to tear up at Dick Clark counting down in a non consecutive order. Stay strong Dick!
With the new year, Joe and I have decided to no longer live in glorious denial and start budgeting. We already have some hefty savings for retirement, but no real "oh shit!" money. We would also like to buy something bigger than our t-home in the Lief' after our 5 year grant obligation is up, so we figure a nice down payment would help.
Per my usual anti-change self, I am slow to adhere to the budget. There is still plenty of chump change allotted to buy crap I don't need, it just stinks to remember we are on a budget. Bleh. I need to get over it and come to terms with I am almost 30 and my finances need to reflect it. wahh!
I counted it last weekend, only about 93ish more days of the seventh grade! Woot! Just as soon as I get used to these turds, they will get old and go to eight grade. I hate them but love them all so much at the same time. It's been a challenging year but we are half way done and still alive. It's a straight shot to April 27 (math TAKS), after that we can let loose just a touch. Can't wait to show them Stand and Deliver. They need some ganas!
Anywho, I am going to take a shower now, since it will be too damn cold in the morning. Buenas noches!

Give Thanks...
For the food I will eat on Thursday.
Because I plan to tear it up. Tomorrow after work I am going to stand alone in a line off of Crosstimbers to buy pies. I usually do this task with my mother-in-law, but since pies are on Betty and Joe this year, I decided to get it over with on my way home from work. I am doing this alone and potentially in the dark so I can sleep in on Wednesday.
Per my previous post, I am still pooped out from work. Cheif will be at work on Wednesday, so that means I will have the whole day to do whatever the hell I feel like it. It will be amazing. No one to answer to but my horrible dogs.
I think I may go up into my attic and pull down some Christmas shit (and secretly put some up, shhh, don't tell Joe) He is one of those anti any thing Christmas prior to Thanksgiving jerks. I say Thanksgiving is the start of Christmas, so no harm in getting things done ahead of time.
Other than food and the pies I will buy alone in the dark on Thursday, I am thankful for some normal things too.
I am happy my Dad is still here. I am happy and thankful for my little life, and my little house. My family, my friends, my awful dogs. I love it/them all and couldn't be happier. I know I can tend to want more (like most crazy women), but overall I have it pretty nice. I am thankful for not having a whole lot to complain about.
Happy Thanksgiving All!

October!
I am so sleepy.
Honestly it is only October and I can't wait for Thanksgiving break. I am going to sleep the whole time. These 7th graders are kicking my ass. Not only are there a million of them but they are extra goofy this year. And they all have swine flu. And the your mamma and fart jokes are abundant. I swear these kids weren't as stupid last year.
I will be married 3 years on the 28th. 3 years! Statistically this is great because I think it is like more than 1/2 of marriages under the age of 25 will end in divorce in the first 5 years. Maybe that was some bullshit I am pulling out of nowhere, but whatever. We are still 2 happy clams, and honestly, not to sound too lame, I love chief more and more everyday.
To piggy back on all of the OMG so in love lameness, I am also heavy into procreation right now. We have decided to try to have a baby. We just seriously started to try this past month. Over the summer I began to pay attention to my body, cycles, etc. I hope my womb is full of progesterone and cheifs loins are as equally fruitful. We would have an awesome child, I know it. And I have a friend who gave me some high end baby crap that I am storing, so I don't want to look too crazy being the owner of all this crap sans child. I almost bought a super hip stoller on clearance online but I stopped myself. Don't tell anyone, OK?
But yeah, I said it here officially. I hate admitting it for several reasons. First I hate attention whore moves like that. Look at me! I want to have a baby. Gay. Second, the off and sad chance we have issues, I don't want to share that with folks until I am ready. Third, folks don't need to be all up in my business. Ha!

2 years later..
I get back to my blog.
I forgot I had it really. I enjoy reading others blogs from a forum I participate on, so here I am. I don't know if it will take the general direction I originally planned, but either way it is a nice place to come and write down the day to day.

H-town gunna' get it's shine on!
Snap.
So I started a blog. It was inspired last night by Amanda and I's trek to find Uncle Bobs house from Urban Cowboy. (It was awesome by the way)
I love Houston, and all the wierd and interesting places waiting to be found out. I told Amanda, "We should make a blog about all the lame places we seek out in Houston" I guess I may be modeling this blog after people who travel around the US looking for cemetaries, haunted houses, etc.
I have always enjoyed exploring Houston, my dad is a native, and I have always grown up hearing stories and places about my hometown. I think the actual driving around stuff started Summer of 98 when I turned 16 and me, Meghan, and Whitney hit the streets. I want to especially thank Meghan, for her extensive street knowledge and eagerness to "stalk". Without it, I may have never been so interested. We both can attribute our mad street skills to our bad ass fathers.
So here it is! My blog about the late night and Saturday day trips I have made with my friends and family. I hope to include all the new places I will find and go back to some of my favorites in Houston. From Auroras house on Locke Lane to the beer can house, I hope to cover it all.
Peace!
Betty
