Chicago Trip

So I never posted anything about my amazing trip to Chicago to see the girls! It was a blast and just what I needed. I can't put into words how great it felt to see Melina and Doni. We spent the weekend hanging out. We cooked, we went to the Chicago Air Show which was awesome, hung out at a block party Chicago style, went to Busia's Pub and surprise, surprise...I pierced my nose. It was so much fun. I've wanted to get this piercing for a long time but have always worked corporate so it hasn't been an option but now I can. The girls paid for it as a very early birthday present and I love them for it. Below are some pics from the weekend.

New Job

I started a new job today! I am gainfully employed!! I started working at the Stag's Head Pub here in Houston. I'll be working as a waitress and eventually bartender. The atmosphere is really relaxed and casual. I get to wear jeans and tee-shirts or tank tops with gym shoes to work. Total turn around from wearing suits every day to the ICON. It's so nice. Since it's a pub we serve some fun English specials like Guinness steak pie, bangers and mash and more. I haven't gotten to try anything yet but I can tell you it looks and smells really good. My biggest worry - the beer. Lots and lots of different types of beer on tap and by the bottle. I have some studying to do. Can anyone tell me the difference between an ale and a lauger? Why don't I drink more beer??? Check out the website below...

So it's been along time since I've blogged. Guess I've been lazy. I have lots of things to talk about but I think I'll focus on the things people have been doing for my friend Misty. Misty has breast and kidney cancer and is fighting a hard battle. She's just about to finish her first round of chemo but then has 2 more rounds after that and they are going to be rough. After that is radiation treatment. I can't believe that this is happening to a friend of mine. She's only 31 and it's just not fair to see it happen at such a young age. She strong and a fighter though so I know she's going to beat this. Two weeks ago some of her friends threw a tailgate fundraiser at the Texan's home opener game. They raised a bunch of money and we had a blast with the beer and bbq!
