How hot is it....

How hot has it been here in Houston...

It's so hot, I saw the devil on the corner selling lemonade.

It's so hot, a seatbelt makes a good branding iron.

It's so hot, steering a car only requires TWO fingers.

Yeah yeah I know....boo-ed of the stage. At least I tried.

So it's been really hot these past couple of days, actually ALL summer. Just like always here in Houston. OH and please please please tell me why does the weather tease us. Seriously, the weather is a big tease. More on this later...

I took off work today, doctor's appointment and then had some extra things to do.

Larry and I went down to the local community college. He's recenlty decided to go back to school after being tired of breaking his back for barely over minimum wage. I'm 110% proud of him! Anyway, he had some questions that I could not answer and so he made his way to the counseling office. Seeing him come out of that office all smiles made me feel beyond great. It's kind of hard to describe - I just know that I'm extremely proud of him for taking the steps to better himself.

Now moving on - who loves the library?? I DO! I DO!

As you may know if you read any of my other blogs, (this will soon become my main one) I've been requesting books from the library. How great is a library? Different places, adventures, mysteries, and much more right at the tip of your fingertips and all for FREE! Couldn't be better.

I went to pick up two books I requested, so I get to the library and ask for my two books. Low and behold she comes out with 5!! I didn't even know what I was getting (minus the two). I got a little crazy with the requests, so I couldn't remember what I had ordered. It was like opening a Christmas present.

Back to the big tease aka the weather...here we are on our way home after picking up books and dinner. It's really breezy, cloudy, and dark. I get all excited cause it looks like it's about to RAIN. RAIN and an awesome book!! The best!!!!

Now, here it is 7pm - Larry has jumped into his book and I have yet to start mine. I wanted to post a blog first, BUT low and behold (I've been saying that a lot) I can't seem to find the rain. There is no breeze and I can still see the sun...POINT MADE: Weather is a big tease!

BUBBLE BUSTED!!

First Blog

Ok, well this is isn't my first blog - technically. I have a MySpace page that I try and keep up with and a blog on this site about our home repairs as well.

This is my first, on THIS blog.

I really don't have too much to say right at this moment. I just wanted to have something here to test the background I'm working on.

At the current moment, I'm reading a book called, Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster. Jamie actually introduced me to her blog (which can be found on the links to the right). I liked the blog, and figured I'd like her books too.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later. I need to go be Suzy Homemaker for a little while.

Love,
Maria
