I'm back.

Picked up a new Longhorn T

Whew.  Last week was crazy!  I was in Austin for five days for work and while it was an absolute blast, it was an absolute energy drain.  I arrived back home yesterday around noon and took a monster of a nap.

My work related after hours event that I hosted with another company was a total success!  The black tie dinner on Friday was fantastic for networking and seeing old friends in the industry as well as meeting some new folks.  And as always, my "devil eyes" were present in almost every single photo taken :( :( :(

Horns and Tail Concealed

I love Austin, Texas.  I have since childhood but I appreciate the city and its vibe so much more as an adult.  I have my favorite places to visit (Home Slice Pizza, Amy's Ice Cream, The Belmont, The Driscoll, and on and on) but I also enjoy stumbling upon new hot spots for dinner, drinks, art and shopping.  This trip did not disappoint as I discovered The San Jose Hotel (but also bounced back and forth to the Marriott since it was so close to the trade show/events that I was in town to attend).  Jo's Coffee on S. Congress which was conveniently located across the parking lot from the SJ Hotel.  Six Lounge and the rooftop was great to relax after working.  Threadgill's Restaurant has the most delicious biscuits and cornbread ever!  Y&I Boutique, Seven on Congress and Blackmail were great for shopping but Goorin Bros Hat Shop was my favorite.

And a T for The Kidlet

Austin, you will hold a special place in my heart forever!

Keep it weird.
