so full…
I’ve been in Texas for a week now and it. is. awesome. If you asked me three years ago if I thought TX was awesome I would have told you hell no. But it is. Oh but it is. I had a full day of painful food ingestion and a ridiculous amount of exercise. Fortunately, I performed those in reverse order. I went to the most wonderful Thundercloud on Guadalupe for lunch, got my eyebrows done by a very nice Iranian woman located on the Drag and then bought some shorts for 2.88 at Academy on Brodie Lane. After that, my sister-in-law invited me to do her 6 mile walk down Slaughter Lane before dinner. I survived the walk although I will be in severe pain tomorrow. We then went out for a late supper at Polvo’s on South First Street. I drank lots of cheap margaritas and enjoyed their incredible fajita beef tacos.
Tomorrow, I’m going to my hometown to help my mom get ready for her Labor Day party. This will involve lots of cooking, drinking and shopping. I’m such a girl but this sounds like lots of fun. However, my mom invited some of my high school classmates and I’m not really sure what to think of that. We’ll see what happens.
By the way, when I went walking today, the temperature was 89 outside and I though “Wow, this is cool for August!”
Yeah, Sarah Mauldin didn’t particularly adore Austin when we lived there… but when we moved to Las Vegas, we missed Austin a lot. Past the casinos, Las Vegas is all suburbs…
But now we live in Atlanta, she’s a big time law firm librarian and I’m a power protection engineer (I try to ensure substations don’t explode).
Grats on your marriage and getting out of that odd tech writing pit we were in!
Hey Ryan! It’s great to hear from a long lost friend. Say hi to Sarah for me and congrats on making your way back to Atlanta. I’m glad nothing has exploded (yet) and that life is sweet. More updates to come from the grad school front.
