There was an ice cream truck parked out in front of the Castilian this morning at 8:30 giving free samples. It left by 9:30am. I'm all for free ice cream but not at 9am. I need coffee more than ice cold milk products.
This past weekend was crazy. We went downtown and braved the SXSW crowds Thur, Fri, & Sat. nights. Thursday night, Jeff, me and F started out at a St. Patrick's day party with some of Jeff's ex-coworkers. We played beer pong....Jeff and I lost....F won. I was a very drunk girl heading out downtown. We also met a guy who got set on fire b/c he wanted to see if lighter fluid would evaporate....not the brightest crayon out of the box. Went downtown and drank more...got home really late and poor Jeff had to be at work early in the morning.
F and I chilled Friday. We went and had lunch with Jeff and then went and shopped at some shee-shee stores at Davenport village. It was fun times. Linds came into town and so did Kat and we all went to Manuel's for some extremely yummy Mexican food. Their ceviche, although they do not use shrimp, is really really good. Rolled my self home to get ready to go out to 4th st. We went out and met up with big Tim at Cuba Libre. I got hit on by a group of old guys who were into "International Commodities". Sure. The other one used the excuse that he was a hair dresser to mess with my hair....I wasn't amused...lets try creeped out. Otherwise, it was a fun night.
Saturday entailed lunch at Hula Hut and then off to have pedi's by highland. Jeff even got a pedi..but he didn't get his nails painted...it was a pitty. It did help his poor hurt toe which he claimed was the reason he got the pedicure in the first place. Dinner was a combo of leftovers from all the other nights out to dinner and PF Changs. Out again but this time we headed to 6th st. sans Linds who stayed behind with Tim. We ended the night in the hot tub with a couple of F's friends from college. I konked out soon after while they hung out some more.
Sunday went to work, came home and made dinner. Dinner was yummy and very healthy. I thought we might have needed something on the healthy side after all the take out and greasy mexican. Then I made a kickass chocolate soufflee for dessert. Jeff had already gone to bed so F and I enjoyed is lighter than air yumminess.
Overall a very successful weekend followed by an extremely busy week so far. Can't complain too much....although I always find a way to!!!

Dum..de...dum...
Location: The freezing cold planes of The Castilian Leasing Office
Temperature: FREEZING
Mood: Did you not read clearly before? FUCKIN' FREEZIN'!!!!!!!
I'm tired of working. I want to be supported by my parents again so that I can lounge around and still have money to shop and go out to eat. I think my mood is based upon the sub-zero temperatures that I have been forced to endure the past week. Right now I'm wearing a thick turtleneck sweater and shirt underneath, pants, wool socks, and boots and I'm still a popsicle. How can they expect us to work in this environment?!? I'm dreaming of the tropics right now and the beach.....ohhh summer cannot come soon enough...neither can a nice long vacation.
So, what's up in my life you ask? I'll tell you.
Last Thursday, Jeff, his roommate, and me go to see the YinYang twins at Paradox. (If you are like me and dont' know who they are...think of the song "Shake it like a salt shaker...") Anyway, we get there at 8:30 b/c the group is supposedly supposed to go on soon after that and the price bumps up to $20 after a certain time. Well after waiting in line for 30minutes...we get to the door and end up havign to pay $20 anyway...suckage. That is when we find out that they don't go on till 12:30 in the morning. Let me give you a little time line from this point on so that you can get an idea of the evening.
8:55pm: Get into the doors - immediately order 3 drinks apiece since it is $1 wells till 9 pm.
9:15pm: We have all finished our 3 drinks and are on the hunt for more alcohol to make the wait more bearable. Order two more drinks apiece for $2 each. Down those quickly and have now gained liquid courage to join the sluty 18 yr olds out on the dance floor.
10:00pm: Have tired of the dance floor - we are in desparate need of the sobering effects of water. Down several bottles.
10:30pm: Find a table and sit down at it...5minutes later Jeff's roommate's head is down on the table as she seems to have had more drinks while our back was turned.
10:45pm: Leave the club without having seen the Yinyang twins b/c we are all too drunk to wait another hour to see the group.
11:30pm: In bed and the group still hasn't gone on stage yet.
Friday: I decided that I wanted a quiet night in. I know this doesn't sound like me but for some reason in my drunken stooper I asked Jeff if we could play Friday lowkey....ooops...kinda regretted it by Friday evening but it was still nice.
Saturday: Went out downtown. Met up with Erin at Barcelona. My guys were already drunk so the evening ended around 1am. Jeff passed out in the seat next to me. At the traffic light a taxi full of guys pulled up next to me. One rolled down the window and started saying stuff to me. I tried to ignor him for a while thinking doesn't he see the guy sitting next to me? When I eventually rolled down my window, he merely shouted..."I like your antenna!"...Ok.
Sunday: Work
Monday: Work and then met Jeff at Tony's apt. The guys were playing Kings with Hooters playing cards. Joined in with them with my newly acquired mojito (yum yum)! Mel, passed out and got a penis drawn on his cheek. Drove Jeff home. Slept and work the next day.
This weekend, the girls are coming into town. I'm extremely excited as it should be full of fun and adventure....watch out Austin!

Sniffle, Cough, Sneeze!!!
So the girl who never gets sick has a cold. Of course it's all Jeff's fault. He works in an office with a ton of people...its like working in a day care center! If one person gets sick, everyone gets sick. So he brought it home to me. But thats ok because I'm sharing the wealth with people at work too! Both Lisa and Erin mentioned signs of sore throats (my first symptom). Oh well tis the season right?!?
I'm so excited about next weekend. F, Linds, & Kat are coming into town. It is going to be a hella crazy weekend. I'm going to catch up on all my sleep the week before so that I can party party party! I'm also going to see if I can get Renee to come in from Dallas too so then I get to hang with everyone! Whoop! I miss my girls...I just hang out with all Jeff's guy friends now. Not that anything is wrong with that but they aren't really any good for advice on whether a outfit looks good or my makeup is too heavy. They only notice my attire when my boobs are hanging out....Guys... So look forward to fun and interesting posts after next weekend. Hopefully there will be plenty of stories to tell.
Jeff heard back from the AmericaWest people. The are offering us a $25-$100 coupon on our next AmericaWest flight...the amount varies depending on how expensive the flight is. Total Suckage! That is assuming that we would ever want to fly AmericaWest again. ERRRGGG. We are still waiting to hear back from Orbits. They better have a better answer/solution. This has caused so much hassle and craziness.
Despite the trail of bad luck Jeff and I have experienced with vacations, I'm attempting to plan another one. I want to go where it is warm, sunny, and with lots of beaches. I'm thinking an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. Does anyone have any suggestions or deals? I was originally thinking about doing a cruise but in the end it would be 3 days at sea and 1 or 2 days at a destination. That kinda blows....so I thought a resort would be more fun. I don't want to spend too much because I'm saving for gradschool and hopefully a brief trip to Europe (not looking likely though).
Anyway, thats whats up in my life.

Busted...
For those of you who talked to me last week. It looked like it was going to be "OK or Bust" last week for Jeff. But yesterday he busted. He was denied the position in Oklahoma because of lack of tenure. It totally sucks for him because that means he is stuck in the same job for another 4 months with no hope of promotion and his boss is dumb a**. But, on the other hand, it is great news for us! The big decision of what is going to happen was made for us or at least postponed till I find out about grad school. I feel bad for feeling happy for myself but I really do feel horrible that he didn't get the job. Anyway, thats the latest scoop!
