I'm a nerd today.

Virginia the Greek and Jill the Geek

Chamber emplyees showed off their carving skills today. I did mine (right) last night. I couldn't think of anything cool so I ended up just doing shapes all the way around. I think it turned out pretty sweet. And of course someone at the Chamber HAD to bring in the We Do campaign!

My pumpkin from the top. Niiice!

And drumroll please...I've been working on getting all of my pictures sorted out....and here's the debut of my new photo gallery! Enjoy.

100,000 miles = 100,000 problems

I've been keeping a close eye on my car for the past couple of weeks because I'm weird. I wanted to take a picture of when it reached 100,000 miles. I missed it by a few, but I did get a picture.

We had to replace the starter on my car yesterday, and the guys who worked on it gave us a list of about 10 things that needed to be done to my car as well. Yay.

And I still can't figure out what to be for Halloween. At this point, I'm thinking it will be something thrown together on Friday morning before work. I'm leaning towards wearing some comfortable pjs, mocassins and my robe.

what should i be for halloween?

i've been searching high and low for three months now, and i still can't decide what to be for halloween.

ideas:
sarah palin
vincent van gogh...i'd make my ear bloody and dress as an artist. (too morbid, although i think it is funny)
pam from the office
my dog abbey (wear all black and make some ears, walk sideways, and wag my rear end uncontrollably all day)
one of the disciples
a tree...wear all brown and make some kind of hat with branches everywhere
i think i still have my fro somewhere...
all out 80s garb (except where is my crimping iron?)
a bride...i've got the dress and the veil
a biker...where i ride my bike to work and wear my skin-tight bike shorts, a tshirt, and my helmet
ghost (put a sign on my chair that says please don't sit here...i'm actually here...and not show up for work all day)

help me! i need some better ideas.

i think geoffrey and i are going camping this weekend. with abbey. i'm excited because i think fall has finally arrived!

It is time...

...for a new post.

so here we go.

in the past couple of weeks, i've been to the Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo...

Wiener Dog Races

Quilt display

Rodeo

Funnel cakes

Good ol' country jellies and veggies

...to Coco's for chocolate ice cream in a homemade waffle bowl...

Just down the street on Bosque...heaven

Their awesome light-up palm tree...that would probably be a better fit for Miami

Sweet neon signage at Coco's!

...and I've been working like crazy on: a t-shirt for the sax section of the Lobo band, a paper system for Penny and her necklace, a booklet about her necklace, figuring out where to go camping, cutting out crazy images to paste into my sketchbook that i will fill with collage (inspiration: here), writing/doing weird stuff in my new journal that Kimberly sent me (you should look here to learn more about it), loving the Connection Group that Geoffrey and I are leading at Highland, joining Highland, eating at George's, making fried pickles and fried jalapenos from scratch for the first time, painting very small canvas paintings that I'm not very happy with right now, watching the Office on Fridays, hanging out with the Godfreys, becoming friends with Lauren G. again...we were besties in like fourth grade, and learning what it means when Christin N. talks about finding her identity in Christ (where's mine?)...

Now that I've posted, I'm going to try really hard not to wait so long.

Oh yeah, and I've been wasting my time doing this. I got a 4!
