Forget "sleigh bells" ...

... and another big, fat Congratulations to my cousin, Mark, and his lady, Chrissy, for getting engaged this evening!

Yowza!

It seems like the theme lately should be, "Wedding bells ring ... are you listenin'? ..."

Dad & Karen

Well, I just learned that my dad got married today in Austin. Congratulations, Dad!! Welcome to the family, Karen!!

I will be celebrating this evening with breakfast (pancakes and bacon) for dinner.

Break time

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm ... frozen yogurt and mandarin oranges ...

Warmer weather means it is perfectly acceptable to eat frozen treats. Yes!

Burrrrrr

So ...

We all know how much I love wintery weather, right? Right. I mean, it's just so fantastic! That is, until I am scraping ice/snow/freezing fog off of my car every, single morning while wearing nice clothes and high heels.

Then ... it gets a little old.

Yahtzee!

It occurred to me today as I was standing in line for our Elton tickets that I have seen more shows since I moved back to Lubbock than saw when I lived in Austin. Well ... yeah, that's a lie, but still ... I have a really exciting few months lined out in this little city!

Wizard of Oz in January, Riverdance a week or so ago, Tuna Does Vegas a week from today, Elton John at the beginning of April, then Blue October at the end of April.

I love it!!!

Riverdance

Riverdance was AWESOME!

Not at all what I expected ... far exceeded my expectations.

Another bonus? The lead guy = smokin' hot!!

Good stuff, good times.
