What I've been up to...

Since I'm pretty sure my life will never slow down, I've decided it's time to put up some pictures so you can see what I've been up to when I haven't been working at the Capitol (which is not much time). Enjoy!

My adorable C.A.R. Debutante, Elizabeth, at DAR State Conference in San Antonio.

Me and Anne, one of my dear paging friends.

Me and Mrs. Metts, my C.A.R. Senior State President at DAR State Conference.

Downtown Austin on St. Patty's with my friend Tom. Just had to share his costume.

Austin Karoake for Phillip's 25th Birthday. We're singing "Sweet Caroline."

LaLa's for Michelle's 27th Birthday. It's a Christmas-themed bar!

Update.

My apologies for falling off the face of the blogging world, but I'm a busy girl! Basically, I work. A lot. I logged in over 60 hours at the Capitol last week in addition to working 7 hours at Bath and Body Works. I've also fallen asleep on my couch, a lot. It's really starting to become a problem, as it happens more nights than it doesn't. And to think, I had insomnia problems all through out my childhood.

I'll try to be better about posting, but sorry I can't make any promises!

A belated Happy Birthday...

While I was at DAR this weekend, two very important men in my life celebrated a fairly significant birthday. My dad and Uncle Jerrell turned 65 on Saturday! I did find time in my busy DAR schedule to call and wish them a Happy Birthday, but wanted to do a little posting since I know Jerrell keeps up with me on the internet. The fam is getting together this weekend to celebrate with a family favorite fish fry, and I'm bummed that I am not going to be able to make it! Here's two cute pictures I found of my Dad and Madelyn and Jerrell and Ella, hope you enjoy! (and oh yeah, they're identical twins in case you can't tell) I am going to try to get better at blogging, but life is pretty crazed!

Darrell and Madelyn (and Zeus and Baron)

You know you're tired when...

Last night after I got home from work I settled on the couch to watch the new episode of The Office. The next thing I know, it's 4:30 am and my cell phone alarm is going off. Apparently I fell asleep about 10 minutes into the show, laying on the couch, still fully clothed from work (skirt, button down shirt, cardigan), with the lights still on and Candace on the computer.

I guess that's what happens when you get to work before dawn and don't leave until after dark. Gotta love Committee hearing days!
