Fun Things
This place for high praise from my girl friend, but I wasn't impressed...at all. Just taste like the standard milk tea. Doesn't even compare to my favorite bubble tea spot, the Teahouse.
I usually get the milk tea with 3/4 sugar, which I love love love! Best bubble tea hands down! This time, I tried the milk tea with 2% milk instead of the default creamer. See the difference in color? I was expecting it to be nasty, but it actually wasn't bad. I'll try whole milk next time and report back.
Pretty outstanding, but these days I've been so tired and did doze off for a few seconds. This was my first Cirque de Soleil show and though I enjoyed it, it's probably going to be my one and only. Great costumes, lights and props were amazing and singing and show were awesome. Fun time!
Everyone is out to enjoy this beautiful day!
My first mobile starbucks order, didn't even have to wait in that long line, and it even has my name on it! Love it!
Movie night at Tiny Boxwood's every Saturday at dusk, about 8pm. I loved everything except the fact that you can't order food when you're on the lawn. And the movie, this week...Magnificent Seven, was a bit hard to stay awake through all 2 hours. Other than those two things it was great! I think a fabulous idea for a date!
Add favorite current and life-time friends, great food & spirits, and some good ol conversation...makes for the perfect 40th celebration. Details on where and how much below.
This super relaxed an casual event was pretty inexpensive...globe lights from C&D Hardware were $30 /box, here are a total of 4. Canvas tarp $20 from Home Depot. White table covers $3/each from Arnie's Party Supply, 2 were used here. I happen to have to burlap table runners that I purchased from Battery Operated Lights. Votive candles can also be purchased at Arnie's. Cushions and pillows were from lawn/patio chairs and around the house. Blue Ball jars for flowers were from Michael's, $1/jar. The Korean BBQ was a hit and a crowd favorite. It was purchased from HMart, marinated short ribs $11/lb. Cupcakes were made by a guest, Jennifer. Veruca Salt cake $66 from Fluff Bake Bar. Super inexpensive party that created the perfect ambiance for my special day!
My girlfriend, Susan invites me and of course, I said yes. Surprisingly, this is my first time! You would think I would have been before. It was my first time and I did not come prepared. My allergies were acting up and it was very very uncomfortable. It was mostly what I was expecting, dog show, booths, and even human things to shop for. I didn't bring my dogs as I didn't know it was allowed, which is silly why I thought I couldn't bring them. Tons of dogs, for show and not for show. I've posted here some pictures from my phone, the cutest, most interesting, and fun dogs. I thought there would be more neat gadgets and stuff for dogs, but nope, a few things I've had on my list, weren't here either. One being a leash for 3 dogs. It gets pretty tangling walking 3 dogs, so that would be a great invention! However, I did get an ID tag for my little one, Lily. Enjoy!
We were super excited about going to this. There were 3 ticket options, $135 for the VIP combo, $90, and $65 for the grand tasting. It was a smaller affair than I expected, but I still had a good time. It was hot, so it was nice to camp out under the umbrella. Our ticket gave us access between 2-5pm but by 4pm, the food was out. There were lots of free wine, but after a few tastings, I needed to slow down since I was the designated driver. Janice, got to try a lot more brands than I did, however, we both agreed the Skinny Girl Cab ended up being the best thing we tried. We didn't care for the white or rose, but the red was actually really nice. I gotta remember to pick up some of that! It was also nice to visit Market street in Galveston. I hadn't been back in a while, but looks like they're totally back up and running. It's a great town, reminds me to come visit more often.
It is definitely a good time for pictures with Bluebonnets! I think the best spot is at Memorial Park and as you can see my dogs had the best time playing, running through, and smelling them. It was the best watching Lily frolic through the field like a gazelle!
Thanks to Bruce and Judy for our seats 5 rows from the court. Amazing seats! We had a blast! And guess who we ran into? Calvin Murphy! He's fun...told Matt he better not rush the photo either...haha. He's great! Oh and...we won! Go Rockets! By the way, I highly recommend going to a game, it was a blast!
