Texan pictures


















Woo

I'm sick. Woo. Hoo.


On Friday, poor Karen was throwing up a storm. Then, on Saturday morning, I woke up, feeling just so loverly (NOT). And then…


I puked.


Yes, yes you read that right.


And my flight was scheduled for that afternoon.


Tell me. Who wants to fly when they feel that disgusting?!


No one. I know.


Luckily, I made it alive on the plane, but then… today….


BLURGH.


Apparently I have all the symptoms of Swine Flu. My doctor, Dr. Luisa, said that they're not even TESTING for Swine Flu anymore, so I'm not getting tested.


So, here I am. Lying on the couch with a cup of brown rice and broth next to me. I'm in my PJ's, and waiting for my daddy to come home with my Gatorade, ginger ale, and saltines.


Yep.


So, I'm DYING to watch Beauty and the Beast for some reason, so I think I'll stick it in our ANCIENT VCR! In my messed up condition, I wouldn't be surprised if I sob at the end. Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid are the best two Disney Movies EVER. Period. Belle and Ariel are sooo me! I'm that daydreaming bookworm. Yep.


Anyway, I'm off to watch my movie… Um… Why don't you go watch it too? O.o

Home Sweet Home

Well, I'm back from Texas! I had a GREAT time with The Other Katie and Nine Texans and the rest of their crazy cool family.

Unfortunately, Karen (Nine Texans) got really sick on Friday night (the night before I left) and I caught it yesterday morning. As you can imagine, I was NOT looking forward to flying with the way I was feeling. I threw up early in the morning, but thankfully, that was it. Poor Katie (the other one) got sick yesterday while me, her dad, and her cousin Ceci were at Payless. :(

Anyway, I'll post some pictures (and exclusive music videos by "The Katies") later.

Happy Sweet Sixteen to an awesome bestie!

Happy birthday to my bestest friend ever, THE OTHER KATIE, over at Books & Brownies.
Her sweet sixteen way yesterday, the third.

And guess who flew down to Texas as a surprise for the birthday girl as a surprise?

MEEE!!

HAHA.

I couldn't blog about it before, cuz Katie is my number one fan and I couldn't RUIN the surprise! Although I almost blew it sooooo many times. Yeesh. I made Katie a scrapbook, bought us matching Taylor Swift sundresses. Supercute. She will also be receiving a DVD of Macbeth.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Katie! I can't wait to spend ten more awesome days in awesome San Antonio with you!

XOXO

Katie <3
