Photo an Hour

SO apparently I am always a day late and a dollar short (isn't that the saying or am I just making it up). Anyways, I completely missed yesterday's Photo an Hour link up that Meg is hosting because I was taking the photos yesterday. So today, you get to see what my Thursday looked like. It's pretty much a good representation of my week. I like to stay busy :)

6:45am- I have to wake up and get ready. Clark gets to sleep in. 

7:45am- We are ready and on our way. 

Clark goes to Grandma and Grandpa's (aka my parent's house) most days.

He is very excited.  

8:45am- dropped Clark off.

Cleaned up after the stray puppies my parents are currently housing.

And I am off to UH to drop something off at the DZ house. 

9:45am- 2 hours after leaving the house, I finally make it to work.

And yes, I am running really late.

(But if you look closely, there is another lady that is just as late as me)

I love having a flexible work schedule.

10:45am- since I was late, I figured I should actually get some real work done. 

Lots of papers on my desk.

And a jumbo Whataburger cup.

I may have stopped for a breakfast taco before coming to work.

I was already late so it didn't really matter, right?!?!?

11:45am- still doing some work.

12:45pm- LUNCH

The most important part of the day.

And today, I got the Southwest Salad from the cafeteria.

YUMMY!

1:45pm- Because I've already worked a full 2 hours today, I decided to do some of my other "work"

I'm going through Extension packets for sororities interest in coming to UH.

2:45pm- bathroom break. Uh oh!!!! The bathroom is out of service for the millionth time.

I go to the basement but there is a line.

So I have to walk over to the main hospital to use the bathroom.

The joys of being housed in an ancient building. 

3:45pm- counting down the hour until I can leave.

This is my view out my window. 

4:45pm- Leaving the med center.

Yes, I know the I only worked 7 hours today. 

I love this about my job. 

5:45pm- The fun doesn't end. I have a Rodeo Meeting tonight.

Sidenote- I'm selling Wine Seminar tickets for the HLSR. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Everyone could use a little wine and country music in their life.  

6:45pm- still in the meeting. Talking about the Wine Auction.

Apparently people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy lots of wine.

I wish I had that kind of money. 

7:45pm- I have now left the Rodeo meeting and driven back to UH for a recruitment meeting.

There are many nights where I have 2 meetings like this back to back.

Can you say "overprogrammed?"

8:45pm- finally leaving UH and on my way to pick up Clark. 

9:45pm- Clark is in the car and ready to go home. 

I awoke him from his slumber at Grandma and Grampa's. 

He was not pleased. 

10:45pm- watching a little "Millionaire Matchmaker" to wind down the night. 

Maybe Patty can find me a husband. 

And then somewhere in between 10:45pm and 11:45pm, I fell asleep. This is pretty much a normal day for me. I was exhausted. And I'm so glad it is Friday. And I have nothing to do tonight. 

Ice storm 2014

Hell has frozen over!!!!

Not really but we did have two ice/snow days in Houston in the past week. Tuesday was a big one. They shut down schools, delayed work, closed bridges, etc.

All for this-

If you look carefully, you'll see ice on the fertilizer bag in the backyard. 

And a layer of ice on this plastic box. 

I really have no idea how we all made it through this storm. But we survived. 

And I will live to blog another day. 

The ice storm also brought this with it. 

Apparently, my car hates cold weather.

Hoping dad can fix it this weekend.

Weekend Recap

This past weekend was one for the books. I had a packed weekend full of fun. So much fun that I took hardly any pictures.

Sidenote- I don't really like to take pictures of myself. I don't like the way I look so I often find myself taking pictures of things (mostly food and alcohol). Is there something wrong with that?

FRIDAY-

Stayed at home and got caught up with Downton Abbey and ate Thai food. 

SATURDAY-

Blogger Meetup at Hearsay downtown.

I love this place. I've never had anything bad here. 

This was only my 3rd or 4th meetup but I feel like I've known some of these girls for a long time.

I read their blogs almost every day. 

So that means we're BFFs, right?

Anyways, we were talking so much that most of us forgot to take pictures. 

Darby did take some pictures. You can see them HERE.

And if you look closely, this is the reason why I hate pictures. I just make weird faces all the time. 

I then ventured over to Reliant Stadium to pick up a wine case for one of my buyers.

I'm on the Wine Sales Committee. We sell wine.

If you want to go to a wine seminar during the rodeo, let me know.

I have tickets for you to buy.

The rest of Saturday is a blur with no pictures.

I went on a date.

I went to a birthday/housewarming party.

I went to a second birthday party. 

I was in bed by 10:30pm.

SUNDAY-

Went to brunch with a few friends at Brick and Spoon. 

We had to wait an hour to be seated but the wait was worth it. 

I sipped on this while we waited.

Berry mojito

Grown up grilled cheese

And a mimosa sampler in the background. 

I then went over to my parents house to go to a neighbor's open house.

My mom didn't want to go alone fearing that the neighbors would figure out that she was going through their house. 

But she really wanted to see what they had done to their backyard since my parents have the same exact house 2 doors down.

And she made me take pictures to show my dad. 

Screened-in patio under the deck. 

They converted part of their garage into a room.

It was pretty cool. 

And then this happened. I had seen these two dogs camped out on the corner by my parent's house.

They were just chilling waiting for someone to come get them.

Upon talking to the neighbors, they had been there for at least a day.

Knowing that it was going to get cold this week, I mentioned it to my dad.

He and I went and got the dogs. 

They are now living in our backyard/garage. 

Sweet puppies who will hopefully be going to the rescue place this weekend. 

Unless of course anyone wants a dog or two.
