Summer’s birthday was last Thursday, so we got to celebrate a couple of times. Pictures are up in the Photo section…
Thursday was a Houston Rockets game, followed by Flying Saucer. I could stay in Flying Saucer for hours. That place is great. I really like that they let you try the beer you are asking about before you have to commit to an entire glass. Saves you the pain of being stuck with something gross and having to get something different, and keeps them from wasting beer. Thank goodness Cristina got a sample of that chocolate truffle one! YUCK! They also had a Sam Adams that I had not tried yet. It was yummy….good for summertime. I am loving the Sam Adams. Except for the Black Lager and the Honey Porter. I really like the way the Honey Porter tastes, but about twenty seconds after you take a drink, the taste that is left in your mouth is horrible. Bleh.
Anyway…! Friday night we went to Buddha Lounge. I had never been there before, but it is close enough to my apartment that if I HAD to, I could even walk home. Not that any of the shoes I wear would allow that. That would freakin hurt. There is also the peril of trying to cross Westheimer. Buddha Lounge is a smaller place, but it has two levels and is pretty fun. Plays dance music, at least on Fridays. Not anymore expensive than any other place we go to, either, which is nice.
Oh yeah…I almost forgot to mention the cake. Daniel brought Summer the BEST birthday cake…chocolate tres leches. That thing was heavin on a plate. SOOOO RICH. I could not even finish an entire piece…and I did not even have that much!! It had these sugar-coated pecans on the outside…I could have happily scraped all those off and eaten them. So good job, Daniel!!
The rest of my weekend was super productive. I cleaned out my closet, reorganized it, did laundry for four hours and ran all sorts of errands. It was great. Next weekend my goal is new tires. Sears here I come!!
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

[Update] I completely forgot to mention that the best part about the Rockets game was seeing Shane Battier! Now, I don’t even keep up with college basketball that much, but for some reason, when Battier was at Duke, I was obsessed with watching. That may be the only college basketball player I could have ever named. Haha. So it was cool to actually get to see him play in Houston. I did not even know he had come to Houston to play, but I remember seeing the commercials before the season started and when he was shown I jumped up off my couch and yelled “That’s Shane Battier!!” Not that anybody else cared. Anyway…just thought I would mention it. That would be the reason there are so many pics of him, and not Yao or T-Mac. Ha.
