Oh Hai, Austin! Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Bring Me Back Something French Part Three: Corn on the Cobh. Oh hai, patient and gentle readers. Yeah, I'll admit I've been awful about posting, but life gets in the way, y'all! Trapped in my house for renovations which I promise to write about once it's done and I can get some perspective on it/ appreciate it (because right now, the hubs, the dog and I are all crazy grouchers right now). Is this the Eiffel Tower? Needs more gravy, OBVIOUSLY. I present you with...

Oh Hai, Austin!: The Calm Before the Awesome
http://ohhaiaustin.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-calm-before-awesome.html
Oh Hai, Austin! Friday, August 9, 2013. The Calm Before the Awesome. So as we speak ( or rather: I type and you later read), our best "friends who are a couple" ( trying not to hurt feelings of single friends here) are on their way from San Diego to come live with us in Austin! A) Snuggles with Todd. He is the Precious to my Golem. B) Sipping my breakfast smoothie on the new deck in the morning quiet before it gets too damn hot (TEXAS! We gon' need more chairs, craigslist. But now it looks like this:.

Oh Hai, Austin!: Workin' Lady
http://ohhaiaustin.blogspot.com/2013/08/workin-lady.html
Oh Hai, Austin! Wednesday, August 21, 2013. So this post is about my new job, but don't get too too excited folks. I signed a contract saying I wouldn't mention the name of my company on any form of social media, including Linked In (Really? But it's an online resume.). So more about the position."Chef, you say? Last time I checked, chef is not a marketing position". TRUTH. Chef is not a marketing job, but I do love cooking and kiddos. "School chef? You are really being a jerk today, not-so-gentle reader).

Oh Hai, Austin!: Deck the Walls
http://ohhaiaustin.blogspot.com/2013/11/deck-walls.html
Oh Hai, Austin! Saturday, November 16, 2013. You read about it for several posts; the fabled reclaimed wood wall in the master bedroom, and you thought " yeah right, a lofty pinterest project she'll never get to". Well, IN YOUR FACE, doubtful readers! I present to you the fruits of so much labor. Most people do it behind the headboard, but then I would never get to look at it! These are the sort of projects that older generations look at and go:. All the rusty hardware is also original to the deck. We pu...

Oh Hai, Austin!: September 2013
http://ohhaiaustin.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Oh Hai, Austin! Saturday, September 14, 2013. Down the Rabbit Hole of Google/Brooke's Brain (Spoiler Alert: Both are Scary). I should preface this post with the explanation of my friendship with Brooke. Do you have 14 hours? This pretty much explains it. So that is us in the tiniest of nutshells. Onward. So recently we were discussing Miley Cyrus's VMA Chemical Assault on Humanity and the unfortunate role Robin Thicke played. Here's how that conversation went:. Brooke: I feel bad for his wife. Brooke: We...

Oh Hai, Austin!: Ode to a Neighbor
http://ohhaiaustin.blogspot.com/2014/01/ode-to-neighbor.html
Oh Hai, Austin! Friday, January 31, 2014. Ode to a Neighbor. This post is my first attempt at rhyming poetry since 9th grade english. My apologies….I had to. I just had to. Enjoy readers! Ode to a Neighbor. Cheers to my neighbor, so proud and so bold. The man is a beacon, a sight to behold. He guards the street bravely, fills criminals with dread. Well, mostly he sends children to cower beneath the bed. He fears not the cold, he is a true Spartan. With a scraggly beard, and long hair tucked in a hat,.

Oh Hai, Austin!: June 2014

Oh Hai, Austin! Monday, June 30, 2014. Bring Me Back Somethin' French Part Two: "Is that the Eiffel Tower? Oh Hai, Paris! Or more accurately, Oh Hai, Le Havre, where we actually docked. Described as a "quaint port town just outside of Paris" by Celebrity Cruise pamphlets written by EXTREME optimists. Le Havre is like a demilitarized zone and is 3 hours "just outside" of Paris. There were literally buildings left in ruin from WWII, and sewage in the street. When her husband scoffed at her and said "no, th...

Oh Hai, Austin! Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Bring Me Back Somethin' French! Part One: Bus Ridin' to the Dock of the Bay. Did you think I left you? Well I did…for Europe. The hubs and I jumped on a last minute deal for an 11 day cruise that hit England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Norway, and Denmark. Weee! Naturally we made arrangements for Todders by. Dumping out a bag of food on the floor and covering a corner in newspaper. My name is WiggleDums"… "No, it's Todd"…. 8230;"Yes I'm sure"…. Gregory delivery w...

Oh Hai, Austin! Tuesday, August 27, 2013. The Heat is ON. So this weekend the AC decided to poop out on us right as we were entertaining friends after an afternoon of daytime drinking in a sweltering brewery. Don't get me wrong, Hops and Grain is AWESOME, and I loved going on the tour and resisting the urge to hug all the barrels of beer aging away. I'm so hot, I can't do anything, please feed me ice by hand.". Here are the before and afters:. The Blue is Egyptian Pyramid from Valspar. So this post is ab...
