You know how you're not supposed to mess with Texas? Well, Kate and I did and somehow we were able to come away unscathed. E-bo was nice enough to house our cheap selves for an entire long weekend and even picked us up at different airports that were 45 minutes away from each other! I think she was just excited to be able to spend time with others without having to make a diagnosis.
I'm gonna go ahead and speak for Kate and say we had a wonderful time in Houston (that's H-town to those of us who are down). I'd like to give my first shout-out to Whattaburger--a 24hr dining establishment that has the best chocolate shakes south of.....well, I don't know where but they make a damn fine shake. My next props goes to Houston's Anthropologie, where I was able to buy $400 worth of stuff for $84. You may call it frugal or smart shopping; I'm going to take a cue from Belinda Carlisle and call it heaven on earth. Finally, what's up Chuy's!! Queso, margaritas AND enchiladas! Si, si, and si!!!
On our last day, we saw Emma's hospital and spent time in neighboring Hermann Park. It was the most beautiful weather but unfortunately, none of us geniuses thought to bring a camera so you'll have to settle for a google image. But take my word for it--it was super relaxing.
I know what you're thinking; did we get on the paddleboats? You know it!!
The only thing that gave me pause was driving by a strip mall that housed the Church of Good something or other and, right next door, an "adult" bookstore. I guess different people unwind in different ways on Sunday afternoons...
So thanks again Emma for all the hospitality during my first trip to the Longhorn State. AM, you're next!! I can't wait for my first trip to Canadialand.
For no particular reason, I feel compelled to tell you all that my favorite lyrics right now are: "You know how long I been on ya, since Prince was on Apollonia." Who says subtlety is dead?
sd sfffffffffffffs Oops, that's Brick saying hello to everyone as she helps me type. I think that's my cue to end it here. Unless you'd like to hear more from her. I think she takes requests.
