Austin Film Festival, Colbie Caillat, and more: all in a week’s worth in Austin.

Austin never fails to remind us of its greatness! With the Austin Film Festival back for another year–last week got the stamp of approval…Top on the list and a surprise to all was the Carillion restaurant. Hands down THE best pork belly there-add to that their goat cheesecake. I highly recommend trying the goodness from this restaurant.
With the 2009 Food & Film, the festival officially began!

You Can’t Please Everyone…sigh

So I have been having this conflict at Jazzercise. There is this student who doesn’t like me, hasn’t for years. And honestly I am not sure why. But she has stormed out of my class before, complained to my class managers, and pouted during class. Fortunately she has managed to avoid me lately by [...]

Bracket Bet

So Ahmad Brooks, who is on our sister sports station bet me that he would do better on the NCAA bracket predictions than I would.If Ahmad won, I would have to wear burnt orange and say ‘hook ‘em for the day. Sigh…If I won, Ahmad would have to wear my Baylor Line jersey that [...]

My desk is decorated!

So one of my coworkers took a picture of me at my desk and posted it on Twitter . Since then I have gotten tweets (messages) on my Twitter account concerned for my lack of decoration.
For example: Girl, get some pictures up in your office… do I need to come decorate your desk like I [...]

Women and Money

Do you watch “The View?” I do. Yes it is true, I do. I have watched “The View” on and off since it started–through the trials and tribulations. And I have to admit that it has been pretty flat since Rosie left. But yesterday was a nice surprise. Financial guru, [...]

Go Rochie aka Dr. Rochelle!

Those of you who know me or read my blog (which means all of you) know that my little sister Rochelle is the apple of my eye. She is all things good in this world and I love her dearly. In fact if ever I think of going seriously wayward, I think of [...]

Rock Climbing

Have you ever been rock climbing? I love it and hate it all at the same time.
Without a fail every time I climb, I get about 3/4 of the way through and then wonder why the heck I decided to climb in the first place. I think, “I am not a big fan of [...]

A Spiritual Smack

Have you ever had a bad/weird/bizarre day that consumes you? Have you ever been smacked out of the funk of your bad day by unexpected kudos?
I most recently had that exact experience this weekend. I had a bizarre experience Saturday night…I found out that I was being deceived by someone I guess I [...]

Jazzercise In Disney World/Lubbock Radio
