Random Wednesday Thoughts

Happy Wednesday! The weekend is so, so close! 

First, I want to say happy third anniversary to Brittany and Brandon! Woo! 

Her last few moments as an Ogletree -- we look so young (my hair?!?) and you were beautiful!!

Isn't this weather AMAZE?  I'm a little bummed it's going to get warmer (and probably rain...) in Austin this weekend and I still haven't been able to bust out my boots yet -- but there will be plenty of time for that soon enough. I'm loving the walks to my office building in the mornings, outdoor lunches and it made last night's happy hour fundraiser on the lake just perfect!  The Spazmatics even showed up!

Who doesn't love a great 80s band??  They always put on a great show.

Sooo, my fantasy football team is struggling a bit. As in, I'm in last place in my division... 1-4. My week 6 competition is against Scott, so Sunday should be fun! At the moment, I'm predicted to win! Keep your fingers crossed for me because he's undefeated -- even though it's all in good fun, it would be lovely to win. :) 

Proof that I'm predicted to win before he realizes he has a bye player he needs to swap out.  And, of course, I'm the Dillon Panthers.  One of the best. shows. ever.  Pretty much sums up Texas High School football.

Thinking of going to Dallas this weekend for the TX/OU game and the STATE FAIR OF TEXAS! I've only been once, and I cannot wait to go again! Fried food, football, fall weather and the ferris wheel? Yes, please!  Scott is even nice enough to ride the ferris wheel with me again.  He's terrified of heights (I am, too, but for some reason this the only ride I enjoy!) and was a trooper in 2011 - even if the others in our cart may have purposely freaked him out even more...

TX/OU weekend 2011 -- it was definitely a great first experience!  It's so strange to attend Texas games.  It's completely different from what I experienced at Baylor -- which is probably why I enjoy it so much -- but my heart will always belong to the Bears!

Perhaps the most exciting news of all - I snagged two tickets to the last football game in Floyd Casey Stadium on Dec. 7! Baylor vs. Texas here I come! Even though the tickets are on the visitor side, I think that will make Scott feel a bit better, and I'll still get to watch Baylor dominate -- and hopefully be Big 12 champs! (How exciting would that be?!) Anyone else attending?  It's going to be a little bittersweet going to that stadium for the last time, but next year the new stadium is going to be AMAZE!  Sail-gating anyone?

Weekend Update

Wow!  This weekend really flew by.

Although it was a pretty low key weekend, it was still a great one.

Friday:

Had dinner at a small Italian restaurant, Milano Cafe, (it's BYOB and we definitely took advantage of that) -- it was great food with a lovely cozy, off-the-beaten path atmosphere.  Needless to say, with the wine, it was an early night for us. :)

Saturday:

I didn't even leave the house all day.  With ACL going on near my apartment (I could hear some of the music at times!), I didn't want to deal with all the crowds and extra traffic on a Saturday.  It gave me a chance to catch up on my DVR, clean out my closet (you're welcome, sister!) and take care of some things around the apartment I seem to neglect during the week.  I also started Scandal -- I know I'm a little late to the party here but it really is SO GOOD.  The first two seasons are on Netflix -- I'm a couple episodes into the second season and I cannot wait to see what happens!  I also watched my Baylor Bears DOMINATE West Virginia!  It was the first time I had actually watched them play and I'm so, so impressed and proud of them!

Sunday:

I was up early (thanks to the storm that blew in during the early morning -- thunder that rattles everything on my walls?  That so rarely happens these days!) and took my time getting ready for church.  Church was fabulous as usual but I was LOVING the cool, crisp morning!  I can't wait for that kind of weather to stick around permanently!  The rest of the day was spent running errands and taking in the nice weather.  I did venture out to the grocery store that evening and saw this lovely wine display.  As the only picture on this post, I feel it's very appropriate as it's so creepy/hilarious, it deserves to be front and center:

Whatever helps you sell wine.  I didn't buy that wine though-- I jumped, took a quick photo and promptly walked to check out...

Sunday night routine was as usual -- made dinner with Scott and we watched Sideways (has anyone else seen it?? It was strange yet had some hilarious parts.  Overall, I enjoyed it!) while drinking a special bottle of 2001 Matanzas Creek Proprietors Blend.

Hard to believe it's already Monday!  Have a great week!
