weiners are wonderful . . .

. . . more on that later.

i've been buried the past two weeks with getting myself to the states, dealing with the house and the pets and lots of wedding stuff.

the trip here sucked as expected; 24 hours of cramped, smelly unavoidable contact with the masses of humanity. in my disoriented state in heathrow, i made the mistake of purchasing duty free wine in the wrong terminal. when attempting to clear security in the correct terminal, some little british tart in a manly polyester uniform confiscated my hooch and made me check my carry-on. once settled in to seat 34c in steerage, the screaming 2-year-old 3 rows back attempted to engage me in conversation for the entire 10 and a half hours. flying is fun!! the highlight of my excursion was seeing heidi and tristan's smiling faces at dfw.

last sunday my super-cool friends hosted a bridal shower for the adorable, young audrey.


there was exceptional tex-mex, curiously strong margaritas and panties. people need panties and no bridal shower is complete without them. yes, audrey is wearing a lacy, purple pair on her head.


here, suzan is demonstrating her and joost's sleeping habits - the part of joost is being played by kim olsen. this position is called the 'csp' or 'classic snuggle position'.


monday consisted of a motb-dress-shopping marathon; here's the winner:


friday after jeff arrived - NOT on an equally sucky trip as mine cause he upgraded to first class (@sshole) - we attended a party at chez brownjohn:


not sure if this is too much alcohol, not enough sleep or blinding lights:


hey! its hp's new software developers:


get a room!!

saturday was audrey and juan's wedding (we call them "juandrey" now). tomorrow, i'll devote the entire blog to that event. but here are two of my favorite pics:




yesterday, jeff and i visited the state fair of texas - which brings us back to the weiner comment. here i'm enjoying my week-long craving of jalapeno, cheese corny dog. and yes, its just as good as it sounds.


more on the fair later this week -- i have a BUNCH of pictures of livestock. farm animals fascinate me.

happy monday everyone,

tricia
