Ausmus is staying in Houston for another year. That is great! 
UPDATE: Pettitte announced he will be staying with the Yankees if he chooses to pitch another year. I completely respect that decision…even if I wish he would say “You know…I would really rather go back and pitch for the Astros.” Hey…we can all dream, right??

I think that makes six times. Or seven. Who even knows at this point!! I did manage to keep her from cheating and stealing it from anyone…like she did at Jorge’s wedding! This time she caught it outright. Haha. The wedding reception was fun….Serena looked pretty and happy and everyone was having a good time. I was really glad I went. Blanca’s family is fun…..and funny! Haha. Pictures are up in the Photo section…
Hope everyone had a good weekend like I did!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine was good….super busy. Friday going out, Saturday baseball and going out to Serena’s bachelorette party, Sunday shopping and a movie. The only problem with being so busy is that the time goes by too quickly! I can’t believe it is already almost time to be at the office. BOOO. I managed to get a TINY bit of sun on Saturday playing baseball. But it is practically already faded back to white! I went to see “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” which was a GREAT movie. Even though everyone knows the story of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, I was still on the edge of my seat watching it. Awesome. Cate Blanchett rocks that role of Elizabeth I.

Inn of the Mountain Gods was awesome! Everyone must go. Charter airfare, transportation, a casino, sports bar…what else do ya need?? If you must have it there is also golf. Blah! I will be more excited when they put the spa in. That will rock. The casino was awesome. As was the horseback riding. New Mexico is gorgeous. I would love to see it with all the snow. The weather was absolutely wonderful…the wind was a little colder than I would have liked, though. That is what we get for going so late in the season! There are a few random pictures in the Photo section…hope everyone is having a good week!

This is ridiculous. Absolutely. Hasbro has created a pink Monopoly game, because I guess girls can’t really understand the concept of the original one. *sigh* The problem is not even that it is pink…the color is not as big of a deal once you see how they actually changed the game! The houses and hotels are now boutiques and malls…the game pieces are sandals, hair dryers, purses, etc. How insulting. If this was a brand new game it would be one thing. But to remake a game that has been popular for so long as it is is completely different. And yes, I know that themed Monopoly games have been around for a while. But this is a little different! Too much…just way too much.

I almost forgot about this, but I recently saw The Kingdom…the FBI movie with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner. LOVE her! Anyway…this was a GREAT movie. I really got into it. It did not try too hard, and the action was well-paced. The beginning gives the viewer background on Saudi Arabia and the oil situation, but it does so in a very dramatic way with images, sounds, voice-overs, etc, that makes it seem more like a story than a boring history lesson. Then you get right into the heart of the movie with the explosion happening. The rest of the movie is an investigation of that explosion. There were a couple of chances for the director to make the movie even longer…which would have made it way too long and created some super slow parts. Thankfully this was avoided. The action was good, yet seemed realistic. I would not even mind seeing this one again. With subtitles. Since I am deaf and all!! Ha. Of course, I was the nerd that had on an ALIAS t-shirt on the day I was going to see a movie with Jennifer Garner. Haha. Oh well! The point is…go see this! It is well worth it!

Some of you may have noticed that my site looks a tad bit different. Just a tad. My makeover is thanks to Jen Germann…and I LOVE it. I just wanted to say thank you to Jen! The last one was a bit depressing because it was so dark. This is much nicer!! So Jen….you ROCK!!

Summer and Daniel were in town this weekend, which is always festive. We all went to the Greek Festival on Saturday, which rocks because it is all about the food and drinks. It was crazy humid, but still a lot of fun. Just got super crowded at the end, so I didn’t mind leaving when we did. After that Summer had a birthday party to go to (OF COURSE) and I tagged along. Some place called Swivel in Midtown. I love how Summer does not even live here anymore, yet she knows all the new/good places to go. Cracks me up. It was a pretty good day! We were even good and came home early because we both had to get up this morning. I was on my way to the Texans game, which ROCKED. I had never been before, so just going was a good thing… then it was even better because we were in one of the “party suites.” Needless to say, it was awesome. The game was good, too. It came down to the very end and a winning field goal on our side…even though it should not have been that close. Oh well. Who cares! At least it was a win. And I didn’t declare my Cowboys’ loyalty, so I managed to NOT get beaten up. Haha. One cool part was where they actually had the real guys from those Budweiser, “real men of genius”, commercials come out and sing a song about Houston. It was weird to see the faces with the voices. Of course, some of the people that were with us would say that the best part was the cheerleaders. Men! So predictable! 
Four sets of pics are up in the Photos section…
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
I haven’t been on here in a while…so just to catch up I have more than one thing to add! First, we finally had our work golf tournament last Monday. It was great…always nice to get out of the office and be outside, even if it was a little hotter than normal. Last year’s weather was perfect, but we can’t always have that! Cristina did a GREAT job with this year’s tournament. Even if the shirts were a little weird for volunteers. HA. We were at Champions up on 1960. Which worked out because I got to stay at Allyson’s and play with her live action figure, as I call him. Logan is running around and so active. Such a good, happy personality, too. Cristina and I can’t wait to babysit!!
