Micro Brewery in Sedona, AZ

While in Sedona, AZ I went to a microbrewery called Oak Creek Brewery & Grill. I had their sampler called the 7 dwarfs and added the seasonal brew which was a delicious Belgian style witt. If you ever find yourself in this area...check it out. Good food, good beer and great location...

Anyone want a new dog???

I found a doggie abandoned at a gas station about 20 miles outside of Dallas. She is a really sweet dog and luckily I work with a bunch of animal lovers. One of my co-workers is fostering her until we can get her updated on shots and find someone to adopt her. I can't understand how anyone could just leave a dog by themselves in the middle of nowhere.

Sedona, Arizon

I am in Sedona for a work meeting and it is just beautiful. This morning we went for a quick 2 mile walk around. The views are just so breathtaking. The weather has been perfect, 65 during the day and cool at night. Tomorrow we are going on a Jeep tour.

Austin - Halloween

Even though I felt like crap, we went out to 6th Street for Halloween. I didn't end up dressing up but we had a lot of fun watching all of the people walk around. We drank for awhile but went back to the hotel relatively early because DTR had to go set up a nurse really early. Saturday, before heading out we went to Phil's Icehouse for Burgers with Ass Gagger. Those jalepeno buns are great...

Company Party 2008

DTR's brother Tony aka MJ dancing Thriller.

DTR acting incredibly shy and nervous.

My sister and me.

They were dancing, I guess!

So, I got into an interesting discussion the other day. I was telling the other person that I didn't really see why my husband and I would want to change our lives by growing up because we basically get to do whatever we want. Our philosophy has always been work hard, play harder and I don't really have any desire to grow up. Hence no children or real responsibility other than work or dogs.

This person I was talking to said that it is our duty as human beings to make a contribution to the world and that some day you do have to grow up otherwise, you will look back on your life and it won't have meant anything. While I am not sure I completely buy into that, I think he had a point. I think the moments I feel the most at peace and happy are when I have accomplished something that isn't all about treating myself. I get into this cycle where I reward myself for everything...if I have a bad day, I reward myself...if I have a good day, I reward myself. Things stop being as special if I am constantly rewarding myself.


It's been an ok day, time to go drink now...more whining later!!!

What to do?

What to do with a visiting hasher? Not So Silent Bob visited this weekend and it was drunken and lots of fun...but we did drag him to a cousin's 4th birthday party! We played on bouncy things for a couple of hours, laughed a whole lot and then went back to drinking! Donnie and Bob went to the first game that the Texans won on Sunday and had really awesome free tickets on the 40 yard line while I went golfing with my brother-in-law. We drank the final 9 holes, about 2 beers a hole and cracked ourselves up. We bet to see who would lose more balls, I lost 3 and Tony lost 4 so I won! (Really, we bost lost cause we suck!!!) It was a great weekend!
