with sprinklings of you
I have so many disjointed thoughts floating in this brain of mine so I’m throwing them together to make a post. Feel free to vote on your favorite number in the comment section and I hope you enjoy randominity:
1. After talking to an Audi race car driver (at the zoo.. how random is that?), my suspicions were confirmed: Houston is the second worst city of drivers in the US. Ask me why some time and who’s number 1. (It’s not PC and I only give details like that off the record.)
2. I’ve been thinking of doing some extreme sports. Wait. I walk and bike in Houston… (see #1)
3. I’ve given up milk and its’ products for 3 weeks now to test if I’m allergic (long story, also told in person). Prediction: In my 40s, I write a best-selling milk-free cookbook that puts me through retirement. I then travel the world sampling cheeses ’til death.
4. My cat is a roach hunting genius. Prediction: The next time housemate Hannah’s cornered by a roach (yeah it’s happened), kitty saves the day. Hannah then lets kitty in her room at night. (After writing this, kitty attacked me. New prediction: Roaches win, kitty goes homeless.)
5. I have been compared to a Red Riding Hood figure twice this week. Prediction: It happens one more time or someone buys me a rockin’ red cape. (Everyone knows these things happen in 3′s.)
6. Went to a small town rodeo this weekend. I am ashamed to say I haven’t worn a cowgirl hat in 15 years. Inner Texan, I’m rediscovering you.
7. Covering my face and wearing shades did not help my poker game tonight. Prediction: I keep the head wrap, make it big—my head wrap makes me famous. (Clearly in my 50s, since my cookbook retirement is in my 40s.)

Vocationally, I work for a fabulous online website in the Houston area. I get to write, edit photos and sort and attend events in Houston. What can I say, it's loads of fun.

#1 Houston does not have the worst drivers—they have the FASTEST drivers. When I am in town and driving on the freeway, people on the feeder road are going faster than me! (And yes, I go the speed limit.)
# It’s probably lactose that you have a problem with. You can buy lactose free milk at most grocery stores. You can also buy soy milk but I am not real fond of the taste. Although, my son loves it.

I’ve always thought number 1 to be true, except that I put it down to the fact that people are not taught how to drive properly and this city takes some exceptional driving to get around and not get killed!
I have a red cape you can borrow.
I’ll travel the world and eat cheese with you
