i guess these

people didn't think a cross was cool enough to hang in their car so they did the next best thing...hung a cd with images of Jesus.
Why stop there?  To raise the coolness factor, they even added a tassel.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think a cross would have been sufficient.

downtown




If guys like this are so determined to show off their underwear, then they should just totally avoid pants.  Why not just wear their underwear with leg warmers?  That would look equally ridiculous.

eric wanted

Luby's to celebrate getting his permit so he drove us there
while I didn't drive and enjoyed gazing out the window...and taking pictures, of course.  So cool!
He had chicken fried steak with macaroni and cheese.  I think he was too excited because he only ate about half his food.  (Strange fact I just thought about: Eric will ONLY eat Luby's macaroni and cheese.)
Afterwards, we went for a ride - and were stopped by a train.  
  

here are those

seagulls I was talking about yesterday.


I was the only person out at the beach that morning.  Let me start by saying I am terrified of water but there are times when I really like the beach.  Everything was fine.  I'd been out there for at least half an hour.  All of a sudden it hit.  I saw the line where the water had been a little earlier from the high tide, glanced at the jetties and realized all the water standing on the other side and saw I was out there all alone.  Panic hit. I grabbed my camera bag, cupped my hands around my eyes (it helps if I can't see the water and block it out) and ran.  I should mention that it wasn't easy to run and climb back up the jetty rocks with all my stuff while in flip flops, especially during panic mode.  There was one man on the jetties and I'm pretty sure he thought I had problems but I didn't care.  As soon as I got back up to the parking lot I was better.  Man.  I'm getting worked up just thinking about it.  When I got in the car I saw this one-legged seagull standing here.  I had to get a picture of him too.

see what happens

when I want to get out while everyone is at work and school?  You get pictures of me and my shoes.  I have a few more from this day but it's birds.  Since the last post was a bird, I thought I'd break it up a little.  I don't even like birds but since they're always around, I get pictures.

almost every

morning this bird sits on this thing.  Isn't he fat?  I'm sure the phrase "eats like a bird" has nothing to do with him.

eric was so

happy yesterday.  He'd been waiting for this.
Kat Von D came to Houston yesterday for a book signing.  It was fun.  We sat in line (number 6) for 7 hours.  Eric's friend caught up with us so at least he had a buddy there.  We made friends with everyone around us.  Eric bought Apples to Apples around 2:30 or 3:00.  We had a group of 5 gathered around to play, with others eventually joining in.  It was pretty funny and killed about 2 hours.  When the time finally came, I'll admit it was pretty cool.  When Eric's turn came up, Kat said, "Dude, I love your jacket" - I think that totally made his day.


if you try this

you'll never go back.  Okay, you'll probably go back but these are good too.
I've never been a fan of coconut.  Actually, I've always hated coconut.  
A few years ago I tried a coconut pie from Sam's Restaurant in Fairfield.  It was good.  At that point I could handle a little coconut flavoring...and I do mean LITTLE.  Over the years I think it's grown on me, kind of like broccoli.  Don't get me wrong, coconut is nowhere near being my favorite but I tried one of these during my last hair appointment.  Oh my goodness.  They were SO good.  Now I'm trying to find these things.  Look at this next picture.
It's like a miniature coconut pie.  They're so good.  Do yourself a favor and try it if you come across one...and then have one for me too.
