Finally going home!

I escaped the wild fires of LA and ended up in the 65 degree cooler weather of Chicago. From Chicago I made it to the warmer but boring city of Houston. Now I am finally heading home! I know I skipped some cities somewhere in between.

I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with friends and family and vacationing in Puerto Rico. I'm also looking forward to seeing my doggy, Lilo. I miss when she was a little puppy. She was the most adorable thing!



Here are some important lessons I've learned on this particular tour

1. Do not be nice and sit in the middle seat of 2 large people who cannot put their armrests down.
I felt like I was in a body cast.
2. When it comes to managing, treat others the way you would want to be managed.
3. Confrontation sometimes is necessary in order to improve work relations.
4. Garmin's are retarded and always say, "Lost Satellite" or "Recalculating."
5. Vitamins can make you gassy... be careful when you take them.
6. Don't try to bargain too much in Chinatown. You end up leaving with nothing.
7. It's okay to jump on hotel beds!

Breakfast Klub, Lost Cousin, Boredom

I am sitting here at the Hilton Houston America hotel. I've always thought about starting a blog, but could never figure out what to write about. I'm also usually pretty busy with work or my family. However, tonight I am so bored I decided to start a blog about my life.

What is there to do in downtown Houston?
My cousin from Austin made her way over to help with my boredom. We ventured out to the Breakfast Klub! All I can say is, "They have the best WINGS AND WAFFLES!" People make fun of me for eating wings and waffles, but they are so yummy. I've never tried Roscoe's, but my cousin insisted the wings and waffles at the Breakfast Klub were better. After brunch, we headed over to the lone Forever 21 on Main St. I bought a couple of cute things and managed to lose my cousin. After sitting on the stairs for 30 minutes, I started worrying. I had already purchased some clothes, shopped again, and purchased more clothes. I decided to check the fitting room. I yelled her name and got no response. I looked upstairs and downstairs again. I went back to the fitting room and this time stuck my head under the stalls looking for her Michael Kors flats and purple toenails. Thank goodness I pay attention to details. She was still nowhere to be found.

Now crazy thoughts start going through my head.

1. Maybe she's crazy and just left me there
2. Maybe she was kidnapped
3. Maybe she got locked into some hidden room

I decided to head over to security.

Me: Excuse me. This is strange, but I think I've lost my cousin.
Security Guard: Let's go check it out.
Me: Oh nevermind! There she is!

So where was my cousin hiding the hour I was looking for her? In a CLOSED fitting room.

At least I found her and she was safe.

We returned back to the hotel and my cousin headed back home to Austin. I decided to take a nap, since I couldn't watch my Redskins beat the Seahawks. I woke up and my co-worker asked if I wanted some sandwiches for dinner. We all work up an appetite and call to order.

It's downtown. Nothing is opening on the weekend! Sigh.

Our manager picked us up and we headed to Fuddruckers. (Doesn't Fuddruckers sound dirty to you?) I had the kids hamburger meal, which I can never finish.

Now, I am back at the hotel bored again. Blogging is relieving me of some of my boredom. I hope you aren't too bored reading about my boredom! Hopefully, I'll have more exciting stories to come.
