Paws in the Park

My mom and I took our furry friends, Toby and Ruby, to the Pearland Paws in the Park festival. There were so many doggies of all shapes and sizes! We got to watch some dock diving and fly ball contests. We also took the pups to the dog park for a little off-the-leash time!

Symphony, dogs, and books

A. and I went to see the Houston Symphony last night. It was a wonderful show! Then we had a late night snack (dinner for me!) at Empire Cafe - yum! We decided that Houston needs a better selection of late night eats... Austin has plenty!

Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain

Strauss: Duet-Concertino for Clarinet, Bassoon and Orchestra

Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6, Pathetique (this one was my favorite!)

This morning Ruby and I headed off to the dog park to meet some friends. Freddy was not there, so Ruby took his place as the "Fun Police." Any time the other dogs started playing around and having FUN, she would run over and break it up. She had a great time running around with Duke, Roscoe, Tuna, Raven, Rufus, and Melly!! :)

Right now Ruby and I are being super lazy and hanging out in the bed while A. is watching basketball at his brother's house. In a little while, I will head off to BOOK CLUB! YAY!! I didn't get to go last month because I was busy preparing for my Hawaii trip and I miss my bookworm friends!

This month we read Case Histories by Kate Atkinson - a novel/mystery with several interwoven stories that span 40 years. It was a great mix of English culture, relationships with siblings and parents, and fresh starts. One of my New Year's resolutions was to read 2 books a month, and I am behind! I'm starting Time Traveler's Wife tonight and I'm pumped!

Spring is here!

The weather is getting warmer, my flowers are blooming, and the sun is still high in the sky when I get off work! I'm so excited for spring and summer - I can't stand it!!!

Today after work A went to play disc golf and Ruby and I tagged along. :)

HAWAII!!!

My good friend from college lives in Hawaii! So another friend and I went to visit her for a week. It was absolutely amazing. Not only is Oahu gorgeous - the week was one giant slumber party and we loved every minute of it! I can't wait to go back! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the air fares go back down.... Here's some of the highlights!
