Eagle Sighting

We have some sweet neighbors at the lake... Terry took these pictures and sent them to us.

This was on his beach front -- right next door!!! Isn't that crazy and AWESOME!?!

Award Worthy Post

My good friend Marissa probably just made the post of the year, check it out:

Oh, and I now *officially* nomiante her for every cute blogging award possible!

Good or Bad Luck?!?!!

The night I met Lunch Box!

On Friday, I was out with some friends (in Houston)…and I stopped mid-sentence because I definitely saw a DJ from my favorite morning show - The Bobby Bones Show (out of Austin)!

After many "sneaky" attempts at taking pictures like this (and lots of spazzing out):

I **finally** got the guts up to talk to him and ask him to take a picture... On Air, Lunch Box always complains that people "bother" him while he is out, or he feels like he is followed by the "paparazzi" etc, and to top it off, he was definitely on a date…so I was extra nervous….

BUT, he was SOO nice!!! LB asked my name and a few questions, we had a conversation about awkward moments in the gym locker room and LB even introduced himself to my friend who took the picture …he was like “LB was really listening and actually conversing with you – what a nice guy!”

Lunch is a co-host on the Bobby Bones Show that is produced out of Austin, and syndicated in Lubbock -- which is where my brother got hooked, and how he got me hooked! I listen on “I Heart Radio” on my iPhone and/or the downloaded podcast!

Bobby Bones is hilarious; I would totally want to be friends with Amy! and LB…well, LB is pretty much ridiculous! But together they make me CRACK up just about every morning…

Oh, and I knew what he looked like, because I stalk their blog :)

Corpse Flower

About a month ago, The Houston Museum of Natural Science had a huge (6 ft) Corpse Flower nicknamed "Lois". When it bloomed, it was going to let off a not-so-pleasant scent!

My (Hilarious) friend Danny played at a wedding, which was held in the HMNS, during the week the (stinky) flower was supposed to bloom! Here's the song he wrote:

Quotes from Thursday

On Thursday morning (8am), I went to a birthday party for an 87 year old guy at the gym!

Every morning at 7:00, Bob walks in with his little cane and his wife. He climbs up on the treadmill and sets it for like .14 MPH (approximately) and grips the handles real tight and puts one foot in front of another...when he is done exercising, he visits, with EVERYONE and ANYONE!

Evidently, they have been having birthday parties for 11 years for him at the gym. It was hilarious... cake, muffins, singing, dancing, many toasts (with our OJ) and lots of quotes.

Bob had some advice:

-- "Be nice to old guys" :)

-- "Always greet others with their name" -- Which I loved! My dad always says that "Your favorite word is your own name!" Who doesn't like it when you remember their name? You know?!


Finally, this other women proposed a few quotes for Bob, I am not sure how this one fits with the 87 year old birthday party theme, but I was slightly offended...

"Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses." - Dorothy Parker

I took off my glasses and winked in Bob's direction......and then put them right back on because I couldn't see worth a darn without them!
