Two months and counting . . .

For those of you who don't know: I am what one might call OBSESSED with WEEZER!! and on June 24, 2008 We will all be blessed with yet another amazing album from this amazing band. Words can not express the excitement in my heart for this day. I can't stop smiling. The only thing better than a weezer album would be the fact that they will soon thereafter tour the united states promoting said album. If I could go to a weezer concert with Michael my life would then be complete. I don't need children, I need more Weezer! I hope I can sleep 61 more nights. Too bad I'm old school and have to have the tangable album or it would already be paid for thanks to itunes. . . who knows maybe by tomorrow I'll decide I need two copies (it wouldn't be the first album I have a duplicate of).

The results are in. . . .

I am 71% texan!! I took a quiz and all to prove it. So, I was going to be all swavy and post a link so all ya'll could take it too but I couldn't really figure that out. I'm not all that computer savy and I didn't really feel like spending a lot of time doing it so you'll have to blog surf to find the link I used if your dying to get your own score. :)

Only in Texas!


Where else in the world can you find a public restroom by a picture of a man/woman/baby with a cowboy hat on? HILARIOUS. Infact, funny enough that it deserved it's own post. Need I say more?

Pa-thetic


So, we just got back from the jazz/spurs game and I have one word for you. pathetic. We were lucky enough to get tickets last week and we were really excited about it, up until 2 minutes in. It was a rough night if you didn't see the game, the jazz were shooting a whapping 38% ouch. I guess what goes around comes around. We still have fun though. Dinner was included with our tickets and our beautiful faces were shown on the big screen! I'll tell you this, I'd rather watch a game at the AT&T center above the energy solutions any day. We were WAY up there and could still see rather well. Hopefully the jazz will do better in the play-offs. GO JAZZ GO!!

My two cents again.....

Well like I said I thought I would let you all know what is going on lately with us. It has been raining a lot lately down here. One thing about when it rains is that certain areas flood. We have some neighbors who were not so fortunate. Their house flooded and they were able to get out which is important. As you can see they have their 72 hour kit with them, you know all the essentials to survive on. (Beer, liquor, and soda)

Well my job is going good. You know everyone reaches a point in their lives when they have to make a switch from renting to buying a house. We have found a really nice home and waiting to hear how much they want for it. If the price is right we may go for it.


It's in a good neighborhood. We meet with some of the neighbors and there is a real sweet lady. Melissa is really nice she is concern about some construction that is going on near by and the effects of it might have on her newborn. She finds that smoking is quite helpful though.

She lives with her brother, Billy Bob, he is a good guy. But the thing I love is his sweet ride! You should see him lean into as he takes curves. I'm going to help him to extend his rear view mirrors out the side, I think we are going to really pimp it up!
I've started a new hobby lately. I've tried to take up riding a bike. You know me, once I try something I have to go all the way. Well I tried to do some tricks.....you can see that it didn't end up so hot. I'm looking at takeing up cribbage because I am now in a bodycast and can only move my fingers.

Well after my accident I decided to keep up with riding a bike but instead at a gym. The gym we signed up is so great they even offer an escalator up to the front door. You know for those people that get tired from going up stairs.
Texas really is a great place. You know what they say in Texas there are Steers and Beers, or as my Uncle Chuck likes to say "Steers and Queers." Well here is a steer, I don't know where the others are though.
One of the nice things about Texas is that there are lot of good places to go out to eat. Well we went to this one restaurant that claims they have the best belly dancers around. So we went in and sure enough as you can see Berta has the belly but needs a little work on the dancing portion.

Anyway's I'll keep you all up to date on what Texas is like for us down here in San Antonio. Until next time take care!

SA vs SLC

So, did you catch the jazz/spurs game the other night. . . fantastic. For all that are wondering we did infact root for the jazz. We don't loose our loyalty that quickly. I was reserved in who I told though, people down here are pretty crazy about their 'teams' and I didn't want to get shot. I'll tell you one thing though, if you don't like watching Ginobli on the court you should see his commercials. TERRIBLE. Seriously, because of him I will never buy a car from GUNN.

Playing Mom and Dad


Well, we were pretend parents yet again this past week. We watched Jaden and Megan for a few days while Ben and Nat were out of town. It was fun and as-always very interesting. Never a dull moment with a Wright in town. Megan is ALL GIRL oh my goodness. From hauling around a pink purse, to feeling the need to nurture stray animals (be it a cat or a catipillar) to mood swings and not being able to make and keep a decision on what to eat, wear, or do. But when on vacation with aunt trish you can pretty much do, watch and be awake however long you want-the later the better (mostly because they/I could sleep longer-and if you don't know I'm not a morning person, you don't know me.). I did improve my uno and playground skills as well as my ability to carry a scooter across the complex and was reminded of how terrible I am at miniature golf.


If you haven't been miniature golfing with a 3 or 6 year old, I HIGHLY recommend it. Hilarious. They just chase the ball and have the ability to use feet as "backboards" and hit numerous 'hole-in-ones' simply because the ball doesn't stop until its in the hole. I will tell you this- the course was pretty cool.


Michael isn't the only one to sport a fanny pack. The trend is taking over.



Any question as to who's photo-genic daughter this is? Who else but picture-maniac, scrap-a-holic Natalie? She teaches her children to take pictures rather well.


Aaahhh-CHOO

How we kept them quiet.


See, we're good baby-sitters. promise. This is the other thing everyone should see in their lifetime: High School Musical. Not the movie it's self persay, but a 3 or 6 year old watching H.S.M. (yea, that's right, i abbreviated it) back to back with HSM2- seriously adds up to four hours of hilariousness. Although the songs/plot are uber cheesy they are indeed catchy and memorable (I can't get them out of my head) no wonder Jaden and Megan both know the songs and dance along. Too bad Jaden is camera shy, I wasn't able to get a good video. So you'll have to figure out you own way to see it.


I was just happy the sun came out long enough to go to the pool. We really had a good time. Jaden is such a sweetie and an excellent older brother. He watches out for Megan like you wouldn't believe. They both say and do the funniest things. Its been really nice to have some family closer than a three days drive. It's helps keep my mind sane and my eyes dry. . . . We'll try not to get too attached :)
