I didn’t even know what to title this entry. This week has been quite a rollercoaster, mainly just going straight into the ground. I feel so exhausted all the time, but nevermind the fact that I haven’t gotten anything done. So as I start my stretch of days off, tonight is going to be a long one. I have a weekend full of school work. I have two tests tomorrow and a final on Sunday afternoon. At least after my second test tomorrow, i’ll be able to relax a bit.

So this is what has happened this week. Sunday I couldn’t get any of my friends to join me for Flume. So why not who ever responds on my Tinder I will go with, I mean isn’t that why we are all there – to date, meet new people, whatever. Well so this guy we’ll call him – CRNA. Yes that is what he does apparently.  So he seem like a nice guy, he said sure i will go with you. I picked him up because his place was on the way to the venue. We had a drink while we waited for the doors to open. When we should up is when I found out there was a delay. It seemed like we were having an ok time. He met my friend that works at the venue. Ok cool. Then he started to just stare at me. I don’t know why, but he was. In a very weird and super dorky manner too. Well you know I had to call him out, like why. Well I guess that was offensive, because he preceded to go to the bathroom and never come back. HA! really! Ok!

Oh well the show was amazing despite yet another horrible example of what men are like today. Flume had just played at ACL on friday night, where I heard it was mind blowing. So I was very excited. The opening acts, did not disappoint either. 

 

Well the rest of the week has been dedicated to work, school and keeping up with the current men on the radar. Yes, just when I am busier than anything, there are multiple possible suitors. One of them is an architect, I think, his company builds things so i’ll just go with that. The other is someone that works where I work, I will only disclose this much, and that he doesn’t work my hours nor works in my department, I think that’s a win win situation. The third is my famous ghost, and not to mention Capitol Grill is coming in a couple of weeks to see me. What is going on! Where did all these come from. Oh well need to focus on school.

I do have to add that I found a new box to drool over. Ivory Clasp. I wish I had a referral code to give you guys. It super easy to sign up and totally affordable. Oh and did I mention it is for handbags. Yes it is true ladies. I just got my first bag and it is absolutely beautiful. The brand is Austin and York and I couldn’t be happier about my newest addition. So enjoy the clips and if you haven’t heard who Flume is you should, go to his Vevo Youtube account. So I leave you now for the land of Chemistry and Statistics.

XOXO

August has blended into September and this weekend is October. My true apologies for the lack of post. Needless to say my life has been slightly chaotic. August brought a lot of good and bad. I found an amazing guy in Austin who I spoke to pretty much all day everyday for must of the month. He thought I was an amazing person, who was beautiful on the inside and out. Even to go and suggest for me to move up there, and we all know I can’t do that – my kid, my job,  only to end things due to distance. School started with a full bang, Statistics and Chemistry are a modern for of torture. Then I had surgery, a long overdue fixer to my nose. No I didn’t get a nose job, it wasn’t a plastic surgery procedure. I got a Septoplasty, aka I had a horribly deviated septum and they fixed it. To then get into a horrible fight with a person who not only do I love and care about but trust more than anyone. Needless to say the things this person said to me resonate in my mind, which is why I have no words for them.

September, what can I say, you have been interesting. Between love, work and school you have tossed me in a blender and have spit me out. My boy turned five but I feel like he is just so old now. A ghost that sets fire to everything came back, with just words and lack of action. Talkin to the man we will call Eifel, was pretty good – well while it lasted. The date we had could be categorized as blissful. Only then to get ghosted by him. What is wrong with the modern guy!! I mean really – what do you expect from a good relationship?? No good chemistry ??? or No good conversation??? Because let me tell you, you need both to get thru life. If lack one or the other, it will surely fail!  I will bet money on that anyday. Of course I didn’t get to see the Kusama installation and I miss going to see the Monet Water Lilies at the MFAH, all because I get stuck in doing endless hours of homework. Which will continue after I finish this post.

My daddy turns 70 tomorrow, and secretly I am happy that my parents house couldn’t sell. They have decided to stay and just wing it. Which means that the fear of being alone can be extinguished and the worry can leave. Now if I could just get my economic state of emergency under control, things would be amazing. I do have to tell you what go me writing today, were the events of last night. My ghost actually came to see me, and when I saw him I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I literally thought I was going to die. The said the words ” you are so beautiful” and “I bet you are a really good mom” and repeatedly called me a sweety. Unfortunately nothing will fix the fact that we will never be together, he plans to move away soon – of course another one that wants to flee from me. I am just happy for the small slivers of time we have together. I guess it is god’s way of showing me that this is what I deserve and what I need to look for. I leave you with my current jam, it is kinda perfect.

XOXO

Welcome to your life, yeah, yeah
It could be a fantasy, yeah, yeah
Welcome to your world, my girl
Let it be your fantasy, oh yeah

Wow well it’s safe to say it’s been a while but I guess time flies when you’re having fun. I just can’t believe July is basically over. I mean I’m having a really good time but please slow down just slightly. Would like to say it hasn’t been really eventful for me other than work work work work work but it can’t be all I do. I did have some pretty fabulous dates lately and tried out some new places to eat and yes there’s a nice little review.

I guess I’d definitely bring all the boys to yard but it’s weird. It’s either I’m overwhelmed with the messages or there’s nothing, the proverbial feast or famine. So in the last 3 weeks I have been on my fair share of dates with wonderful people and not so wonderful people. You know it doesn’t matter what website you’re on, you’re looking for that hot steamy love. There’s always that question of so how many people is he talking to? who is he sleeping with? and why can’t people just be honest with each other? Why can’t it be easy like in those fairy tales we were fed as children. So I have to ask, when did courting become everybody’s game not just your own? I guess you can thank these thousands of dating websites and apps and everybody having just way too many choices. I guess we think that there is a better one around the corner, but what if we have already met the better one? What if we’ve already had the best share that we’re going to get? I guess those are the  what if’s of life.

Any who time for those restaurant reviews! So a week ago Tuesday, I went to this really great place called True Foods. It is in The Galleria next to the ginormous Whole Foods. Very laid-back atmosphere definitely a place where you go with your girlfriends for lunch and possibly brunch. I had the steak street tacos which were absolutely delicious. Probably not the best thing to have for ‘breakfast’ but amazing and my date was pretty Charming too. So I can’t complain. The next place I tried last week was Tony’s. So this place has been around probably as long as I’ve been alive but I’ve never been there. Never had the pleasure of someone taking me to this amazing Houston staple. It’s a definitely must do once in a lifetime at least kind of dinner. The same Charming man that took me to lunch a couple days before took me to this wonderful dinner. The moscato was fabulous, the lobster ravioli was delicious, the Ahi Tuna was to die for and the risotto I would like some delivered. I had the halibut for dinner which I couldn’t even finish because I was so full just from the appetizers but yet the manager decided to bring me some flour-less chocolate cake on top of everything else. Needless to say I don’t have a single bad thing to say other than everybody should go there, everybody should  splurge a little and go. Well obviously don’t have the $26 an ounce steak but at least go there for the risotto.

Only time will tell if this Charming man will be seen again but for now I will be relaxing at home until Monday with my child. However I did receive my first Sol Theory box. Yes! please go check them out the sunnies are amazing. The ones I got are definitely not something I would buy myself but I love them. They are definitely something I will wear the rest of the summer. Remember it’s a monthly subscription box so you can get one or two pairs of sunglasses and add an accessory along with your sunglasses how amazing is that! A little gift in the mail just like your Popsugar must have or Funfitfab or your quarterly RZ Box of Style it’s definitely a good addition to that. 

Well in the coming months I have to schedule sinus surgery and a my scuba certification classes. Maybe. Yes it looks like I have a couple of trips coming up. Kinda exciting, but I also have school to deal with and possibly looking for another job – I am going to need the extra income. That is it for now, people stay hydrated! it is hot out there. Almost even too hot for the pool!

XOXO
