Wake Ups

I woke up with awesome bedhead this morning. I sleep with my pillows in a way that allows for tactful molding of my hair. It's not even the front of my hair (it never is). It is in the back, most often on my right side that fans out... and it gets some good height! Luckily, Shemp, my dog, is the only one who sees me first thing in the morning. He's too focused on waking my ass up to take him out to pee that he doesn't give a damn. He's got the subtle whine that he does that because we've had him for so many years, I automatically wake up when I hear him doing it. This morning, I tried to lay completely still so that he thought I wasn't waking, but he knew. That son of a bitch knew! Unfortunately, If I have to walk him, my neighbors get to see the awesomeness that is my sweet hair. Lucky them.

What's on my agenda for today? Not too sure anymore. I don't think dinner plans are any longer an option, but I do think I'll attend a fraternity initiation at Texas State. Today should also involve studying. Darn you grad school for taking my lazy Sundays away from me!

And that's a wrap. I'm gonna finish drinking my tea, and postpone doing anything of importance for as long as I can put it off. Cheers!

Spring Forward

Oh! Good Morning, Daylight Savings Time.

I didn't realize you'd be here so soon. Wow, 4:48 A.M. I wasn't prepared for that information. I'm going to go to bed, and hopefully this situation will improve.

See you tomorrow!

Pictures from Dallas

So I now got around to adding the pictures I said I would from my week in Dallas. Just the highlights though!

AIG. I was listening to NPR on the way up to Dallas in my rental. When I pulled into the parking lot of my hotel and into a parking spot facing the street, what should I see across from the hotel? That's right, a huge AIG building. (For the less up-to-date folks reading my blog, AIG was bailed out of financial ruin by the government for $85 billion earlier this week).


The Pool. At the LaQuinta Inn and Suites there is a decent sized pool. My colleagues have been hanging out poolside almost every night after our programs. I (not so surprisingly) didn't think to bring a swimsuit. It really wasn't a priority for me, and really hadn't even gave it thought.


Empty Lot. I'm pretty much in the middle of Dallas. Yet, when I look out of my window I see a HUGE empty lot the size of... uhh maybe a city block! Dallas really isn't a city I favor that much.


This picture I hadn't mentioned in my earlier blog. I took this one morning on the way to a high school. This was a common sight for me. The rising sun directly ahead. It made driving... fun.
