Busy Bumblebees!

So today is my last day here at my client – I’m really sad! Who knows what the future will hold with my next one, but this last year has been pretty fun, I must say!

This past weekend was really fun – we hung out with my family for dinner on Friday evening, had a 1 year old’s birthday party and a wedding on Saturday (Vicki’s younger sister Machelle), and then Sunday was the Renaissance Festival – yea!

At the birthday party, I was so jealous because Dylan leaned towards Curt to hold him and I was like, huh? LOL - it was too cute... Dylan is at a super cute age... last night at Campaigner's though Dylan chose ME! Apparently he'd been all about the ladies that day as he'd felt a little puny, but normally he prefers men... haha

Adam, Claire, Little Dylan (1 years old - yea!), Curt, Mike, Rachel (the parents).

The Dooly girls: Kelly, Vicki, Machelle's friend Megan, and James the MOH:

Now I know a lot of people don’t get why I love the Renaissance Festival so much, but I really honestly do… I just think it’s so great! I mean I've been going every year for my whole life, and there's just a special kind of magic when you have YEARS of memories like this... sigh! This time we had the whole family there (Dad is not always a given as it's not so magical to him - LOL) but he did really enjoy telling Curt about the year that I was 3 months old, and my mom was all into it, and my Dad saw rain clouds so suggested they should go, but she wanted to stay and they ended up getting stuck in the mud for HOURS all wet and cranky... OMG I was dying... they finally made it out by driving over the baby pine tree rows which are not babies anymore!! We went to plenty of shows this time, too - we had a great time at a comedy show in which I was invited on stage and was giggling like crazy!, watched my favorite, the Birds of Prey show, belly dancing, two GREAT music bands, one of which is E-Muzeki and the other is Tartanic of which I have a video…

Me and Arsene for his trick and me giggling because I had no idea what he was up to behind me but I wasn't allowed to look (but then I would, and he would get mad at me!) LOL

Me assisting him with his hat juggling - he was going so fast! I dropped a hat a couple of times, but overall everyone agreed I did a great job helping!

The Birds of Prey show... this year my best pic was of the North American Great Horned Owl... beautiful!

Other than that this week has been pretty crazy with me trying to wrap things up here at work, and getting ready for another busy weekend! Tomorrow I’ll be in CS all day for a conference that I’m speaking at, then we’ll be in Giddings/New Braunfels for a wedding and then YL on Sunday evening! Whew! I’m already so tired, maybe Curt will let me sleep in the car! LOL!

Enjoy the music from Tartanic!

Love,

Ok - so found this link on a fellow blogger's website (thanks Aggieland Mommy! She has an awesome Aggie blog, by the way! Wow!) and thought it was really great. Basically it's 11 questions about your views on the good ol' US of A, and then based on your views it shows the presidential candidates that closest match your opinions!

I'm *very* happy to report, that although I have not been following platforms, who stands for what, etc. that I most closely match Rudy Giuliani, who is my favorite so far anyway! I truly answered honestly, without dwelling on political party, etc. and he was at the very top, and guess who was pretty close to the bottom? :-) LOL!

Anyway, go take the quiz - some of the questions really made me think and "bucket" my opinions, but thought it was pretty fun...

Also good news - Curt and I are officially registered to vote in our new county! Whoop! So we're all set for this November and *especially* next!

Check out the link to see who you share opinions with!

October... YEA!

Since I last wrote, we’ve been busy (what’s new), but it’s been with fun things so yea for that! Last weekend was crazy – Friday I was out in the heat all day for a charity golf tournament for my client, and it was just non stop from 6:00 a.m. until 5 p.m., and then Friday night was the high school homecoming where we went to see Chelsea as she was on the Homecoming Court! Saturday was equally as nuts – we woke up at 6 a.m., were picked up by Heidi by 7 a.m. to head up to College Station to see Chelsea play in her tennis matches (she won!), and then off to the Aggie game! I was so exhausted at the game that in the third quarter I actually did a head bob b/c I started to nod off! WHAT?! I slapped myself around and quickly got back into it… the halftime show was GREAT though – Baylor did Thriller and actually started doing the dance and it was so fantastic – other than our Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band performances, this is the best one I’ve ever seen! So good… then after the game we went to Tom and Carolyn’s for some water and cheese and to visit for a bit, then drove home to *rush* to get ready for dinner with Vicki and Paul at a great Thai restaurant in The Woodlands! We loved our chicken curry, but unfortunately Curt was down for the count for the rest of the evening – I guess those spices didn’t mix well with his meat and potatoes tummy… (LOL)! Sunday I slept for what seemed like forever, and we took it easy for a bit and did some chores, then drove out to Kendyl’s new house! Yea! We had fun moving her in some, and will go again this weekend I’m sure, too!

This week has been eventful as well, and mostly stressful as a bunch of stuff has happened – sigh! First, we found out our renter decided not to buy our house, which is totally fine, but adds ENORMOUS stress to us! I’m so at the end of my rope about it that this is all I’m going to say about it… ugh. Then I found out my project here at my client is going to stop for the moment for various reasons, which are also understandable but now I have my next project to worry about. So two major things, and then other stuff as well that just showed me that this week was just not my week, but Curt and I will keep the faith and just keep moving forward and hope for the best as most of it is out of our control. Send any prayers our way, people! We thought we had a lot on our plate before, but oh no, we didn’t, so let’s just hope this is it for awhile.

This weekend, we have Dylan’s first birthday party, Machelle’s wedding, Kendyl’s house, a potential visit from Andrew, taking the boat out (I am insisting!), and a car inspection – LOL! Should be fun… Oh! And we'll probably conclude Harry Potter 1 - moving right along!!

Last night, though – a Halloween Phantom came to our house! It was so fun… Curt and I are sitting down to eat and watching Grey’s, and the doorbell rings, Mav goes crazy, we go to the front door and no one is there, but a bunch of Halloween stuff is with a note from the Halloween Phantom! So tonight I have to go shopping to participate which should be fun, but there was a light up pumpkin included in our goodies, and we thought it would be interesting to see what Maverick thought about it, so here’s the video… he’s so unsure, and keeps looking at Curt for reassurance! Too cute…

Here is Maverick and the Great Pumpkin!




Hope everyone has had a great start to their October – my favorite month! We’ll hopefully buy some pumpkins tonight… Muah-ah-ah-ah-AH!
