Happy Birthday Kasi!!!

Yes, that's right... another birthday this week!!! Unfortunately, I have realized that I don't have any fun pictures of Kasi and I together. :o) So, I think that she and I need to work on that!

Kasi and I met while working in Hell... aka Samsung. She was brave and jumped ship several months before I did, but in the few months we worked together, we clicked right away. Our cubes were right across the aisle from one another so we quickly bonded by shooting looks of disbelief to each other regarding crazy things that would happen or we would overhear.

She is a special friend and we have become very close in a very short time. She now has a beautiful little girl named Troy and it has been fun watching Kasi develop as a Mommy!

So, happy birthday my dear Kasi!!

By the way... here is a tip for everyone. I have found the SECRET to successful friendships and finding great girlfriends... they all need to have names that start with "K" and be 4 letter. Kara, Kitt and Kasi prove my point!

Happy Birthday Kara!!!

Today is a special day for my friend Kara… it is her birthday!!! YAY! Most of you know that Kara is like a sister to me… I have known her for 12 of my birthdays!!

We have been through so much together and celebrated LOTS of birthdays together. In fact, for many years, we had a “Birthday Girl Crown” that we passed back and forth for each of our birthdays.

In honor of her special day and our long-distance love affair, I have put together some pictures of fun memories…

Happy Birthday Kara!!!

So you think you can dance??

On Sunday night, my friend Kasi and I (along with Kasi's friend Bridget) went to the Frank Erwin Center to see the "So You Think You Can Dance" Live Tour. It was SO much fun!!!

This past summer, Kasi and I would have "TV Night" at her house and we watched SYTYCD. We both enjoy all sorts of genres of dance, so this was a good choice for us. We quickly became professional judges and would critique the dancers and choreographers.

One of our favorite dancers, Joshua (on the left) won the competition.

Even though we quickly realized we were amongst the average age of most mothers there, we had a blast. We got to scream for our favorite dancers, relive our favorite performances and just be kids. It was so much fun!!!

HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

We just watched our beloved, #5 ranked UT Longhorns play an AWESOME game!! They beat #1 ranked Oklahoma 45 to 35. There were a lot of not-so-great calls made by the official towards both teams, but ultimately, UT was victorious!

Jason and I watched the first half the game in a sea of burnt orange shirts at a local bar. We shared an appetizer and kicked back in our bar stools. As we headed home during halftime, it was a 1 point game... so there was no way to know what to expect! We finished the 2nd half in our living room with the dogs happily napping.

There are a lot of other big college games this weekend, so it will be interesting to see what this does to our ranking once everything plays out.

Go Horns!!!

Just one of those days...

Have you ever gone to workout and it was just one of those awesome days? Your timing is on, you push yourself, you are proud of yourself and it just feels good to be there! I had one of those this morning.

I went to Spin Class and just let it all out. For as long as I have been doing Spin, I am not sure I have ever had a workout that awesome.

Here's the best part... after class in the locker room I was chatting with my instructor, Vickie. She said that she can see a very evident difference in me since Boot Camp!! She said she can tell I push myself harder and my endurance has definitely increased. She said there was just an "added focus" to me since doing the BC. Isn't that awesome!?! Made me feel great!

After some encouragement from Kara, I have decided to try a new class next week... "Body Combat". Just the sound of it scares me! However, I am willing to try anything once and maybe it will take me back to my Boot Camp days! I will let you know...

Party Animal...

Today we celebrated one of my co-worker's birthday! Happy 29th Matt!!!

As is tradition in our office, the desk of the birthday person is heavily decorated when they arrive to work. One of Matt's decorations was a party hat. I walked into my office this afternoon to find this...


Another one of my co-workers, Scotty, got this idea and I think its darn cute!!
