Congrats to the Newlyweds, Trieu & Thanh Nguyen! We are so happy to celebrate the marriage of two great individuals. Welcome to the family Kathy! We love you guys with all of our hearts!

                           

                 

Day: Started the day hanging out around The Walk for some shopping.

Evening: Went to Formica Bakery to buy some fresh bread.  They have a cafe store front, but you can buy loafs of bread, baguettes, and hoagies anytime and any day at their bakery all the way in the back through the alley.  The smell of fresh baked bread is an inviting smell to those who have not experienced that.

Task: To make 30 centerpieces, main vases and more.  Tram does a great job with floral arrangements.  We had called it a night around 4am while she stayed up till 6am working on them.

                   

Football: Started the day watching Texas beat the Sooners.  We watched the game at Christian's Tail Gate Bar.  The game overall could have been better but we won on this low scoring game. Met up with my good friends and met some new ones. 

Snack: Katherine and I went to Sweet Lola for some frozen yogurt.  It was not the best and had a small selection.  The toppings I give a fat zero for no sprinkles and mochi balls.  They do get a point for those chocolate balls.  They remind me of Sixlets but with a thicker shell.

Gal Time: Katherine and I chilled with some martini at her place.  It is always nice to catch up and spend some gal pal time. 

Wedding: I went as Luke's date to a wedding.  The wedding was an asian wedding but with a modern twist to it.  It was beautiful.  Met a lot of old and new faces.

After Party: Met up with my gals at Belvedere for some drinks. The place looked nice and the feel was ok.  Music could be better and the place was not that packed as we had hoped for.

Recap:  I was designated driver and thank goodness for google and Map App on my iPhone.  My friend was so drunk where he lead me in circles around Houston to every desination we had to go to.  Overall, I had a great time hanging with my friends and spending a weekend away from work! UT won!

                           

Optional Friday. We all have options. Never is a must. I choose to capture certain pictures throughout my day.

We choose to give, take, pass and love.

Sometimes it is easier to not do anything but then it is worth to try rather than not.

Today, I found a flower blooming. Love Crayola Twistables!! I wonder why we did not have these growing up in grade school.

I guess a refridgerator would not be complete without some Chinese Take-Out huh? For lunch I had picked up some really crispy McD's chicken nuggets. Only once in a full moon do I eat McD's.

ACL. Packed! Saw so many people walking with their chairs and backpacks walking toward Zilker Park. Next year, ACL will be part of my Sunday schedule.  This year we are too busy at the store me for to do the whole 3-day fesitval. Though I have to admit that the line-up this year is awesome. I missed out on the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and Phoenix.

Field Trips: MiMi (pink), CiCi (black), Jake, and Cu Lon (yellow).

I have been craving crap puffs. Crave demolished! Parents eating some take-out Pho for lunch.

I had received 2 different Wedding Invitations. I am attending only one.  Booked the ticket tonight on Southwest.com. I had realized that I still had $196.00 credit from a ticket I have not used. n i c e ... I still need to book a return flight though that is later.

The worst feeling ever today was the feeling of not wearing closed toe shoes.  I had a bottle drop on my foot. The tiny bruise does not look bad, but the pain is horrible. The bruise eventually became ugly. Did not want to capture that. I choose not to! :)

For dinner, I bought some Pork Tenderloin Medallions from Buenos Aires. I am glad that I chose to eat a good dinner.

Today's music theme for me is songs from Aqualung.
