Unemployed Life

So every once in awhile people aske me, "What exactly do you do all day?" This is an excellent question! For the most part life doesn't change much from day to day, but I am trying to be productive. Unemployment isn't quite what I expected it to be. I thought it would feel like a vacation for the first couple of weeks and then I would just get bored, but so far I'm still enjoying it! 

(It could easily be wom-man)

For the last month I've been studying for the GRE. It's like the SAT, but for grad school. I've been trying to study a little bit every day and go to different coffee shops to find the best place to study! Starbucks and It's A Grind were my most common stops. I took my test on Monday!! So now I'm just waiting for my scores....and looking for something else to keep me busy :)



I've also been working a little at Woolley's Frozen Custard- where I worked in HS. I usually work 1-2 days and it's something different for me to do every week. This last week and for the next couple I'm also helping out a local photographer with taking school photos. It's pretty easy, but exhausting! Those 2 yr olds don't always want to smile and they DO NOT think we're funny. 

                                                       This 2yr old still thinks I'm funny!

Besides continuing to apply for jobs I'm going to start learning Spanish soon and possibly even start on a P90X regime. I will also be celebrating another birthday on Tuesday so really this is my birthday week.... plus the Rangers are in the PLAYOFFS AND it's football season. I mean I don't need much more to keep me busy :)

More S'Mores Please!

The other night Mom and I headed to Tillman's Roadhouse in downtown to have some tableside s'mores! S'mores are my favorite dessert and I saw on the Food Network that Tillman's make their ingredients from scratch! They make dark chocolate bark, 3 different flavored marshmallows (orange, maple, and coffee) and cinnamon graham crackers. They didn't dissappoint! One of my favorite places in Austin is a coffee shop named Halcyon that serves table side s'mores so I was happy to find a place in Ft. Worth as well. 




Mmmm it was soo good! The maple marshmallows were my favorite!

Beach Time

This Labor Day wknd Mom and I went to Houston to see the rest of the family. We had a really great relaxing weekend. On Monday we headed down to Galveston, did a little shopping, and hung out on the beach. Mid 80 degree weather couldn't have come at a more perfect time!

Thanks fam for making us dinner, giving us a place to stay, and for the company!

My Rangers!

Since I've been back I've watched a lot of Rangers Games on TV. And even though it was 100 degrees outside I made it out to a game! I love my Rangers and missed them a lot when I was in London. Checking the score from the night before was one of my routines every morning :) I love the ballpark and had a great time with my friend Ryan. I might have to try and make it out to another now that it's cooler outside! yea!





Rangers Win!
