The Loot

So today I got my last present for my birthday. Mike got me the new Netflix Player by Roku. He must have ordered it the day it came out, since it just came out a week ago today. I cannot wait to hook it up. But I'll wait for Mike to get home to mess with that nightmare of wires behind the TV. We also started to get my new bookshelves for the other side of our front room. I have grand plans for that area and I just cannot wait until I get it all done. It's gonna be a crazy awesome place for reading and displaying my loverlies (books). My mom was crazy! She got the most unique thing! She got me 10 pounds of boiled peanuts from The Lee Brothers. She also got me a signed cookbook from them too. It's got some great southern recipes in there that I can't wait to try. I'm still working on the boiled peanuts. I left some out for the party, and some people tried them, and some people actually seemed to like them. But I am having the majority of the peanuts all to myself. Which is perfectly fine by me. My mom also had a fruit bouquet by Edible Arrangements delivered on the day of the party. It was so cool! It was hard to keep out at the party cuz I wanted to keep it cold. So, that didn't get much action at the party. But Mike and I have been eating it up just fine. At the party, I got cards from a lot of people, and I got some gifts -- a few gift cards from places like Barnes & Noble, Half Price Books, iTunes, and Best Buy. I also got a really cute hummingbird feeder, some Bath & Body Works girly stuff, and a nice party foam disc shooter. Oh! Mike got me the greatest birthday cake. It was a Strawberry Shortcake cake from Sweetish Hill Bakery. I asked for light and fruity and it could not have been more perfect. So delicious. I've been having some of the leftovers from it for breakfast :D

Party for the Birthday

So, I decided I wanted something different for my birthday this year. Instead of the usual dinner with friends at some restaurant I choose, I told Mike I wanted to have a big bangin' BBQ at the house. So, this past Saturday I invited everyone I could possibly imagine, and it ended up being a fabulous time! So many people, it was just awesome. My only regret is I wasn't able to get around and mingle as much as I should have, so I missed hanging out with some people. I'm new to this house party thing, so you'll have to forgive me this time. I promise I'll get better the more we do it. Probably the best birthday ever! So much fun! I'll have to do this party thing every year. My friend Sheila from Killeen/Harker Heights came down and stayed the night. The next morning we went to Hoover's for breakfast. I just had to go. They only serve their Shrimp & Grits for breakfasts on the weekends, and they stop serving breakfast at noon. It's been awhile since I've had it, and I just had to. What was even funnier is I went out to dinner at Truluck's with my friend Sarah that same night and had Shrimp & Grits again. Now, Truluck's were in a completely different class and about 5 times more expensive than the Hoover's version. I'll have to post the pictures of the Truluck's shrimps. There were only 2 on that plate, but they were the largest 2 shrimp I've ever seen in my life. Bad thing was that they had their heads on. Blech. However, the dish was great. Sarah and I also shared a Red King Crab leg, and then we also shared dessert. A carrot cake. Now, simply calling this a carrot cake seems wrong. This was a DIVINE carrot cake. I've never had any better version than that cake. Insanely lishous. Then, last night, Mike and I went over to Sarah's house and had dinner with her family. We had a good time. We'll definitely have to do that more often. Now that our backyard is totally set up for crazy socializing, we're gonna try to have more people over in general. I love having people over now! Who'da thunk? I guess it helps that everyone really seem to like the house. I always get so self-conscious about our house, but I've also never been more proud of a place we've lived. I gots mad designing skills :D

SXSW Click!

Ooh. Look. Another one.. ALREADY. Well, only cuz I forgot to mention that I turned in Socially to SXSW Click a couple weeks ago. I'm sure I will post if we actually get down into the finals for anything. If we do get to the point where we are up on their website, then I'm sure I will be begging, borrowing, and attempting to steal votes from all my peeps. THAT MEANS YOU! Stay tuned for more information :D

Oh... woe... the effort.

I've been so busy doing nothing, I can't even get the motivation to post anything on here lately. But I'm forcing myself to post something hoping to get back into the groove. The past couple weekends have been great. I've spent several hours in the hammock outside reading. That's the other nice thing of no longer being so busy. I can actually sit down and read again. My mind would be so busy going through all I could/should be doing or what I would need to be doing later, that I could never really read. I would just end up having to read it all over again. I haven't been writing my next script like I wanted to, but I think I will start here in the next couple of days. I don't imagine I'll have much done until around the first week of June. I've decided to have a BBQ at the house for my birthday this year. It's gonna be wicked. I'm really excited. We've never really had quite a big soiree at the house like this. I'm sure the game night thing will come close, but I want this to be bigger and even more fun. Yanno, cuz it's all about ME. Heh. Anyhoo... so this was boring. But hopefully it's a step to get my ass posting more. We shall see if it works. Until then...
