tiger's blood...

No, I haven't been hunting...or hanging out with Charlie Sheen...Tiger's Blood is my favorite snow cone flavor! I am sooo glad the snow cone places are open for the summer. It is one of my favorite ways to beat-the-heat :)

pickles and reubens and crab claws, oh my!

We all have our "go-to" restaurants. The place you know will be good every time-no matter what. The Real Pickle and Herby K's are those places for me. I can't go to the Real Pickle without getting the reuben sandwich and even when I think I want to try something new at Herby K's, when ordering time comes I blurt out "the oyster loaf and marinated crab claws, please!" There is something about a place with a patio, some random things hanging on the wall, and a great glass of beer that keeps me coming back - that and a nap that inevitably follows an empty plate.

What are your favorite restaurants?

poolside...

Let the summer fun begin!

My friends Jordan and Patrick were in for a visit from Chicago for a few days and I caught up with the Gedeon gals poolside. This family amazes me. I honestly love everyone so much. Babs, Jordan & Patrick, Ryan & Jase, Adrienne, Allison, Lauren, and Matthew- y'all are awesome! Jordan and Ryan have been my friends for over 10 years now and I treasure each time we get to to spend together, whether its sharing the serious stuff or having a chicken fight in the pool ;)

{how precious is baby Frannie!}

frisbee fun...

During Memorial Day weekend some friends and I went to the frisbee golf course at Veterans Park next to the Red River. It was a gorgeous day for it. I had no idea what I was doing (dare I say no one did)....but the sweat bands came in handy! Go America!

I know what you're thinking. Sweet moves right?!!

busy bee...

I am pretty sure I have never been this busy in my life! For the past week I have been working like a mad woman that never sees the light of day. Luckily my motivation is a big fancy trip at the end of the month. Yep, I am leaving for Greece and Turkey on June 20th for a conference I have been planning for over a year now. It's major crunch time - making sure everything is in order...there are moments in the day where I feel like my head might explode! Then I stop. Take a deep breath and try to ease the tension headache. I have to remind myself that my job is not my life. (even when it feels like it)
