I've been falling behind in my pledge to blog at least once a week. Sorry about that again. I have two excuses: 1) work has been insane. 2) I have nothing exciting going on to write about. So this post will be about random nothings I've encountered the past few weeks.
1) I'm almost caught up on Desperate Housewives. I know it is a cheesy dramedy, but it is entertaining. What show should I watch next?
2) Ted worked nights all last week and I felt like I never saw him. It was really frustrating. Luckily he's back to working during the day so we will get back into a normal routine. Not-so-luckily he has to do it again next month :(
3) I love having Blair at home. I think we've seen each other almost every day. Hopefully she doesn't get sick of me.
4) In other Blair news, she loves her job, and that makes me happy. I'm glad she was able to find something fulfilling right off the bat. I hope it continues for her.
5) I want to see Something Borrowed, Bridesmaids, and The Hangover Part 2. I think I should just make next Sunday a movie marathon day.
6) Sly stayed at the kennel last weekend while we were in Waco. He came home with a green bandana, and I now believe that green is the best complimentary color for his fur.
7) We leave for Vegas in two weeks. Beyond excited.
That's really all I can think to write. Back later peeps.

All Grown Up
Hi everyone! Sorry I have lapsed a bit on writing. Life has been crazy busy lately between work and other stuff that I haven't really had a chance to sit down and talk about.
Friday my sister Blair graduated from Baylor. I can't believe that she's officially a grown up and is already going to start working in her field. We all drove up to Waco to see her graduation ceremony and to help move all of her stuff back home to Crosby. It took about 4 hours of sweat and irritation to get everything packed up in the U-haul and the two vehicles. I love my Dad, but man he can get cranky during a move!
Mom and Dad left with the U-haul, and Ted and I stayed back with Blair so she could take some pictures with her roommates one last time. On the way to campus, Blair was very emotional, which is definitely not the norm. She's always been a bit of a stoic, so it was really touching to see this response from her. I think it really showed how much her roommates mean to her and the impact that her college experience had on her.
Thinking back, I don't remember having that kind of response to leaving Centenary. I haven't seen some of the people that I considered really good friends while there since our graduation ceremony (my S'port girls are the exception to this rule). The only time I really cried was when I saw my mom cry. Centenary was a great experience, but at the same time I was beyond ready to get out of there. I wish I had developed such a strong tie to Centenary the way that Blair did with Baylor.
So, when you graduated from college did you have a big emotional response? Or were you like me and were more good riddance than good bye?

Big News Weekend
Geez Louise this was a big news weekend! Let's review, shall we?
Of course I woke up at 4:30 AM to watch the Royal Wedding. I'm a pop culture junkie, and do you honestly think I would miss the biggest event of the decade?? Psh I think not. Kate looked flawless. That dress was the perfect compromise of modern flair and classic, traditional elegance required for a royal wedding in Westminster Abbey.
For the people who say she wasn't edgy enough, I say that you people are cray-cray. She couldn't stomp down that aisle as if she were on the runway she was on when William finally realized her hotness and wear something like this:
The Queen would have passed out after screaming "To the Tower with that harlet". Prince Harry probably would have high-fived Wills and told him good job. Pippa wouldn't see the problem with that dress though...she seems like she knows how to have a good time.
Anyone else think that the Maid of Honor and Best Man totally hooked up after the reception? Especially after seeing what a hot mess Chelsy Davy was...honey, if you are trying to convince the official Spare to the thrown to marry you and make you a princess, TRY HARDER. Why you decided to wear something that looks like a Stein Mart power suit is beyond me.
I can't forget to give a shout out to Fergie's girls, Eugenie and Beatrice. I literally laughed every single time the camera panned over to the Queen and I saw these two perched behind her. I couldn't help but see this image:
instead of:
At the end of it I really hope that Kate and Wills make it work. You could tell they really love each other by the way they kept sneaking glances at each other and smiling during the ceremony. It would be a shame if the royal way of life messes it up for them.
The other big news of the weekend came in late last night. Osama bin Laden is dead. We finally caught up with the rat. A part of me is so glad that he finally paid for his many, many crimes against not only the US but humanity in general. The other part of me doesn't want to celebrate as hard as many Americans have been celebrating. I guess it just makes me anxious that retaliation is a definitive and is just a matter of when as opposed to if. Hopefully my anxious feelings are just paranoia and won't actually happen.
