I am so busy.....

"I am so BUSY"....That seems to be my response to everything these last three weeks.  Which in all honesty I love!  I would much rather have so much on my plate that I have to have post-it notes to remind me of my post-it notes. I know a little OCD, but I don't forget anything.  If you looked at my Outlook calendar you my be slightly scared, yes my noon reminder is to take my vitamins...don't judge me its helpful.  Whats even better is its linked to my phone so I get a reminder 15 minutes before any appointment on my calendar.

I originally started writing this post three weeks ago, so I will finish where I left of.  Tuesday morning (3 weeks ago), work was busy as usual when my boss called me into her office.  We have been working on a project for the end of the year quarterly employee meeting and we needed to get it finished up.  The only thing lacking was the video and photos for the presentation so she told me to head to Louisianan on Tuesday... as in tomorrow morning.  I got every thing booked and I was set for the 5:30 a.m. flight to New Orleans.  The trip wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been fighting a terrible cold.  Whatever you do DON'T FLY IF YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF SINUS CONGESTION worst flight of my life.  After we took off and reached our altitude, the pressure in my ears started to build, due to the congestion I was unable to pop my ears.  The pain became excruciating I tried to mentally calm myself down, until I realized I was becoming very faint and wanting to vomit.  I called the flight attendant to get a barf bag.  The man next to me was kind enough to reminded me that I looked as bad as I felt.  (Thanks I had no idea, that I felt bad)  The flight attendant was very kind and understanding, she said that she had that happen to her before and the best thing was a hot towel behind my ears.  The towels helped immensely, but it took about two days before I could hear again.

The trip went well even though we out in the field from 5:30a.m. to 8:30 at night.  It was an exhausting trip, but we got everything we needed to finish up the project. Friday morning I flew back to Houston in time to change clothes unpack and repack for my trip to Austin.  I drove to Austin that afternoon and met up with some of my college friends for a fun filled weekend.  Friday night we went to a local food truck and had some delicious farm to plate food.  We topped dinner off with a Gordough doughnut, mind you this is not your average doughnut.  The are specialty doughnuts about the size of your face and completely unhealthy, fattening, and delicious.

Gordoughs!!

That evening we went to 6th street and did a mini pub crawl.  It was a great evening because I found out one of my cousins that I haven't seen in six or seven years was working at one of the bars. We stopped in and I was able to catch up for a little bit.

Saturday morning we watched another disheartening Aggie football game.  They lost again....the Aggies are tearing my heart out, but as they say life must go on.  After lunch I met up with my cousin so we could catch up properly, it was great to see him and hear how all the family was doing.  After catching up we went to a chipping and putting range to test my skills.  Well apparently you have to practice to improve because I am still terrible!!  

It was a great long weekend, but it was good to come home. 

Until next time...
