House Plants going Wild

My house plants have been flourishing lately. The aloe plant is needing tho be transplanted into a bigger pot because all the arms on it have gotten long and fat...too big for the pot. The vine has just gone crazy taking over the living room up and over the window sill and crawling along the floor. The money tree used to to sit in the window in the kitchen, but has branched out too much and had to be moved to a table.

Christmas trees and great food

Woke up today in a fabulous mood. I did my hair and makeup all pretty, then did some schoolwork for a while. Jason and I went out to do some shopping to get some Christmas gifts for our family members. We didn't purchase anything but we got some ideas and we will probably do some online shopping to make it easy for the both of us. We went to Best Buy to try all the new little gadgets that are out...like the new 3D tvs, the nook reader, and some video cameras. Lots of cool electronics, but very pricey. We ran some other errands...i got a new back back because mine has a big hole in the bottom of it and we also got some yummy groceries at the store. Everytime we go to the grocery store we always buy more than what is on our list. I got ingrediants for our dinner and also some ingrediants to make banana bread. Our dinner was so fantastic...carribean crusted mahi mahi, roasted red potatoes with rosemary, garlic terryaki green beans. We also had some assorted nuts that we cracked from the shells. To top the night off we put up the christmas tree. It is a beautiful 7 foot tree. However, we still need to decorate the tree. We need to get a star, lights, and ornaments. Had a fantastic day and just finishing off the night with some kettle corn and football.

Big 12 Championship Game

Well just back back to Houston from a nice vacation weekend with my boyfriend. We drove four hours to Dallas to see the Big 12 Championship college football game between Nebraska and Oklahoma. I met my brother and his girlfriend Molly there too. They drove 10 hours from Omaha, Nebraska to watch the game. We got there Friday night and went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant, and then to a really cool bar afterwards. The bar had pool tables, pinball machines, cheap beer, cool artwork, and good music. We had a lot of fun and if I ever go back to Dallas I would like to go there again. On Saturday we woke up and went to get lunch at a Mongolian Grill restaurant, and it was good cuisine. We went back to the hotel for a nap and then drove to Cowboy Stadium at 5pm for the 7 o'clock game. The final score was 23-20 with Oklahoma winning, so that was a bummer for me. 

Miss Kandee Johnson

...is my favorite makeup artist. I lkove watching her makeup tutorials on you tube. I 've learned a lot about different makeup brands and different celebrity styles. She used to do hair too, so I've watched some hair videos as well. She has a fun persoanlity that is why I like her so much. She also used to be a model, and she has three children with one on the way. Here is a picture of her.

Green Thumb sara

This is a picture of my agave plant that I planted at my boyfriend's house and it has started to flourish. It looks pretty cool in the backyard. We also planted other plants such as Japonese boxwoods and wandering Jews. The wandering Jews got a lot of sun and have spread throughout the garden. We had to move them to a different area so they wouldnt get as much sun. There are a couple palm trees and some other schrubs.

My Babies

These are my two favorite little furballs, Wrigley and Lola. They are my little shih tzu dogs that are 6 years old and they have been there for me through tough times and great times. Anytime I am sad or lonely I go give them a hug or squeeze and it instantly makes me feel better. They are sometimes little rambunctious and do things that they shouldn't do, but I am patient and forgiving, so I let it slide at times. Lola is my special little lady that I got from a rescue shelter, and so she had a rough life before I got her. I bought Wrigley in Magnolia Texas from a breeder.

Land Ho

Today my boy friend Jason is supposed to be coming home from work...he works on a vessel out in the Gulf of Mexico. The vessel he works on is called the Viking Poseidon, and it's a very big ship. He is an ROV supervisor, so he does under water construction while operating robots. ROV stands for Robot Operated Vehicle. When he goes on a hitch, he is usually gone for one month and then he is home on land for one month. He was gone for Thanksgiving so I'm really excited to see him. Today they are to be sending out a helicopter to his vessel to pick him and a couple other guys up to bring them back to Houston, However, today is very windy and they don't fly helicopters when it is windy because it's too dangerous. His trip back home may be delayed and can be frusterating because I miss him a lot.
