Are you on Gowalla?

08Jan10

I have to admit. I was a bit overwhelmed and not very impressed by the amount of location based check-in iPhone apps.  I tried so hard to give Foursquare a fighting chance.  I became the Mayor of so many fun places… then one day I looked at my phone and asked myself — WHY?! It […]

Green Pizza Box!

26May09

This is what Austin needs == A GREEN Pizza box! I love it.  I would really use this on a weekly basis (OK … if I wasn’t on my horrendous DIET – UGH).  Maybe I should get endless pizza from Homeslice for posting this–and telling them about it! 😀

What would you have for your last meal?

22Oct08

I found this website that lists the last meal requests of different inmates in Texas. I find it fascinating what people request.  Everything from a bag of Jolly Ranchers to a pot of Coffee to a whole slew of things… I’m thinking this would be my last meal – 4 slices of French Toast, 3 […]

omg…I’m going to be hit by a hurricane….

11Sep08

OK. So I wasn’t too stressed about Hurricane Ike, until I heard the update on it.  It’s apparently going to hit Saturday morning at the coast and reach Austin with up to 70 MPH winds.  Oh my goodness….I’m going to fly away.  So needless to say I’m a little worried.  It’s already killed over 100 […]
