Catching Up: Dallas Love

I’m not sure when I fell off the blogging wagon, but I definitely did. I have a lot to catch up on! Right now we’re driving south through Kansas–on our way back to good old Texas. Thanks to aircards and an outlet in the truck, I’ll be able to update the blog, upload facebook pictures and maybe even watch a few episodes of Army Wives. I think my mom was trying to get me back for hooking her on FNL when she introduced me to this show!

So what’s been going on lately? A lot…and I have to say, that’s the way I like it. Working from home is an amazing luxury, but it is so nice to go on trips and get off my yoga ball sometimes. Yes, I started working on a yoga ball…I think it’s really helping my posture and it’s fun 🙂

2 weeks ago Hazel and I made the road trip to Dallas to visit Mrs. Wassinger and all of the wonderful D-town ladies. Liz made the trip from Austin too! I love living in Houston and I love Chris, but man, a girls weekend away was just so great! Chris didn’t mind too much either since he was in New Mexico golfing with his friends 🙂

I have missed Erica so much and it was great to just relax with all of the girls. We ate a lot, lounged a lot, talked a lot…it was wonderful!

I wish I would’ve taken more pictures…but I guess I was too busy making sure my dog didn’t murder any other dogs. Yeah, we saw a whole new side of Hazel. She was just fine on Friday night when she met Ashley and Josh’s sweet dog Osa, but she pretty much sabotaged the blind date I had set up for her on Saturday. Meet Mr. B:

This incredibly adorable little man belongs to Erica’s friend Liz, and I have been looking forward to meeting him since the first time I saw a picture of him as a tiny puppy. Liz and I assumed that it would be love match because hey, they’re both really cute, cream Frenchies. Why wouldn’t they love each other?? We met Liz and Mr. B outside of the apartment building and the dogs were so cute…playing, sniffing and running around. But as soon as we stepped into Ashley and Taryn’s apartment, Hazel turned into a psychopath. I guess she decided that after spending one night there, it was her territory. She’s a pretty rough player as it is, but this was not playing…she was scary and mean. A Hazel I’d never seen before. I felt absolutely awful. Mr. B just sat there being so sweet and Hazel was a complete psycho. Not exactly the best way to win a guy’s heart, Hazel! Luckily, the crazy woman had some time to cool down while we were at dinner and the 2 played around for a little bit when we got home.

Just a couple of girls and their Frenchies…

I’m still not sure if it was a territory thing or maybe the fact that she’s around mostly girl dogs, but I do know it calls for some action. I added Cesar Millan’s book to my library queue. Hazel might technically be a “b*t&h,” but I’m not going to let her act like one! Hopefully Mr. B will give her another chance once she’s had some anger management classes! 🙂

Well I got a little off track there, huh? Anyway, great, great weekend in Dallas. The thing I love most about Dallas is the group of friends there. Thanks to Erica and Heather, I’ve made some pretty awesome new friends. I can’t wait for the Houston girls weekend in December!
