Long Day, Productive Day

Hey guys! Today is the first day back from Spring Break and I'm worn out! Phillip and I had a really fun time yesterday. We found the lake, and ate at a place called Sam's Boat. I had some seafood, and it was really good! It tasted really fresh. Lake Conroe is beautiful, much more eye catching than Lake Thunderbird :) We got to feed a bunch of large fish that were in a special area under the pier. They had fish food for 25 cents. While we were feeding the fish, a duck decided to get in on the action. He was a cute little green mallard. I brought my camera, but once again I forgot the memory card. I was sooo mad! I really need to stop doing that. I guess that gives me an excuse to go back soon. Today I got back into my routine with house work, grocery shopping, and a significant amount of homework. I got these fresh deli spirals from Walmart to have for lunch, and I went to look at the nutrition facts on the back... there was a sticker but nothing was filled in. So basically it says stuff like calories and then it says nothing %. I really didn't get the point. Oh well, they were tasty and I really can't see that they would be all that horrible for me! I have decided that coffee makes me sleepy! This morning I was all awake (I woke up at 6:30) for some reason. Ask Phillip, I was all chipper! Then I got some coffee and after drinking about half of the cup, I got sooo tired and passed out! I was doing so well! Anyway, I still got a lot done today, and I'm anxiously waiting till my Philly gets home :)

Is that a NEW blog post?

Hey kids! I know it has been soooo so long since I posted something. Life has just been a little crazy lately! This picture is of Phillip's work, National Oilwell Varco. I just thought I'd throw that in for fun :) Let's see, what have I been up to? Continuing my schooling and exploring mostly. I have found several more places around here that I'm liking! Mostly yummy places to eat! At the end of February I stayed with my parents in Norman for 9 days while Phillip went to Washington D.C. with his friends for a Magic tournament. We had a bunch of fun. I ate waaay too much! Allison and I went to G.W. Exotic animal park, and it was sooo amazing! I really need to edit the photos I took and post them soon! It was so great how close the animals were. We even got to play with a baby tiger! Coming back to Conroe, I got to experience my first train ride. It would have been great if it wasn't TWENTY hours for what should be a seven hour trip! Anyway, it was an experience I can say that I've had. My family came to visit last weekend for Spring Break. We had so much fun, and I wish that they could have stayed longer. I got to take them to my favorite places around town :) The rest of Spring Break has been pretty uneventful. Last week I saw I Am Number Four with Phillip, and it was really good! Sonja and Frances spent the night Tuesday for a super quick visit! We had fun with them, and took them to Chuy's (the best Mexican place!). Today Phillip and I tried the Habachi Super Buffet. It was really good. We have decided that we really like Japanese food! This place had Japanese, Chinese, a little bit of Mexican, and American food. Lots to chose from! They even have a chocolate fountain :) I was excited because they had the best crab rangoon and Phillip just LOVES teriyaki chicken. Phillip took a short trip to Dallas to play in a tournament! I hope he does well! I'm sure he'll have fun regardless. He has been asked to make an iphone app for someone that he knows from the tournaments. It should be really cool. One of my favorite parts of my family's visit was making homemade lasanga for them. This week I want to try out some new recipes! I've decided I really do love cooking. I've also decided that I am going to try my hand at writing. I just need to figure out what I want to write about! I'll let you guys know if it goes anywhere! Well, I hope everyone is having a fabulous Spring Break! I love you all! Send some comments my way :)
