golf

As I'm sitting in the conference room with some co-workers during lunch today they were watching golf on the TV.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE PANTS! Some of these golfers are wearing the most bizarre pants on the course. I have always been under the impression that golf was this respected sport for country club people and well mannered individuals. Not loud pants with pink and green paisley on them.

With that said I am going to take over the world of golf fashion. No more laud obnoxious pants.

That's all I have right now. Happy Thursday.

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

So as I mentioned a few posts down Jeffy surprised me with tickets to the circus this week. IT WAS AMAZING! I was like a 6 year old kid at the circus. we went Wednesday night and I had the best time. I was nervous that I would be disappointed and wouldn't enjoy it as much as I used to as a kid, but boy was I wrong. I actually think I enjoyed it more as an adult. I def. think most of the clowns are on drugs now though. I do have a greater respect for the performers though. I mean as a kid your amazed by everything they do but as an adult you realize how difficult it is to do those things and the strength and dedication they put into it. Really made me appreciate them a little more.

They had some of the same stuff like the tiger taming, elephant tricks and dog tricks, clowns and funny dancing. They also had some new tricks thats were pretty cool and even had Jeff and I wondering how on earth they pulled it off. If your thinking about getting tickets when it comes near you I would. They are pretty reasonable and it really is something everyone needs to go to once in their life. Here are a few pics of the night:

That's all for now. Hope everyone has a super weekend.

happy




Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can’t have everything
Don’t you take chances
You might feel the pain
Don’t you love in vain
’cause love won’t set you free
I can’t stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be
Holding on tightly
Just can’t let go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear
But all these days
They feel like they’re the same
Just different faces
Different places
Get me out of here
So any turns that I can't see
Like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim 
Don't say anything
So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I’m just trying to be happy

great day in the neighborhood!

yesterday was all around a GREAT day in the life of reesa. I was finally feeling better after being sick and tired and just all around bleh all week. I came home from work and Jeff started dinner, his spaghetti with the great sauce, and then he surprised me with tickets to the CIRCUS next week! I saw an add a while back that the circus was coming to austin and had mentioned that we should go, especially after jeff said he had never been before, i could not believe it! after that chat i left a coupon by his books hoping he would catch the hint and he did! Normally jeff would just say ok lets get tickets and go, no surprise i did it on my own. But he did and I'm so excited about going to the circus next week with my one and only.

After dinner i headed to the Pop Princess Sing-A-Long at the Alamo Drafthouse with some girlfriends. Let me tell you, I was not prepared nor was my voice for this experience. We had the absolute best time! Such a great idea and so fun for girls of all ages. They had everything from 80's to Lady Gaga and props through out the show. Everyone was encouraged to stand up, sing as loud as the could, dance in the isles and on the stage. Such a fun girls night, i recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Here are a few pics of the sing-a-long:

all the single ladies

D and I again taking a break from our killer dance moves

it was so refreshing to have such a good time with girlfriends. since bestest died i have been kind of closed off subconsciously and i realized last night that no one will ever take her place but i have so many amazing girlfriends who are more then happy to be runners up and i am truly blessed for that.

have a great weekend blogworld

domesticated

i've always had that itch to take care of people. do things on my own or they won't get down right. since jeffy and i have been dating i've become even more "domesticated" or "housewife" in training if you may. i love to cook on most days (some days you just want to throw the towel in). tonight was no different. i came home from work, sent jeffy on a trip to the store to grab some things i forgot for dinner, and started laundry. when he came back i began cooking dinner, grabbed him a beer form the fridge, a glass of wine for myself and 45 mins later dinner was served.

if this is anything to what my married life would be like with jeffy i'll take it! i don't mind doing things like cooking dinner and doing laundry. don't get me wrong he has his nights where he makes the most amazing spaghetti, and i have come home many times to laundry baskets empty.

quick pick of the friendship bracelets i made us the other night. weird i know but i love finding crafty things i used to do as a kid and do them now. just brings joy to my heart:



but back to the domesticated topic, i find myself growing to be more and more like my mother everyday. i now cant stand when my home is not clean not only for guests but for myself. im constantly picking up little accessories and themes for my home. grocery shopping is a must before the week starts or i feel like my week wont start right.

now its off to a bubble bath and bed.

good night blog world. sweet dreams.

low and behold

I wasn't sure anyone was reading this little site but boyfriend informed me last night that a few of you traveled to his site from mine. Low and behold someone is interested?

I can't keep up or remember to write on here ever. Boyfriend writes on his at least once probably 3 times a week. So head on over and get some health and fitness tips from one of the best in Austin.

Nothing to new here. Just living the normal life of a 20 something. working, girls nights, date nights with boyfriend. of course it's summer and their have been weddings and showers and birthdays galore!

A couple of my favorite girlfriends and I caught a free show of Annie in the park about a week ago. One of the many reasons I love Austin, always something new and fun to do with out spending a bunch. 

with our cups of wine at Annie:


Jeffy and I went to Houston 2 weeks ago for a wedding and had the best time just hanging out with my family. i can't believe how fast my sweet nephews are growing into young boys. Geez by the time I have a little one they will be teenagers! 

Here is me with my sweet edward at the wedding (a little blurry but so cute):


And all the boys of the family:

OH annnnnnnnnnnnnnd- planning a trip to NY with my 2 favorite girlfriends for fashion week in Feb.2011! So excited i might pee my pants on the plane there!
