So I hit up the free Crossfit workout Wednesday night, and it was a lot of fun. I haven’t been able to go back since, and I want to, because I think there’s got to be more to it than I experienced. I had fun, but here’s the breakdown: Wednesday was a team session. After…

Happy Birthday Jo’s! + a veggie sandwich update
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Halloween. I ended up dressing as Sarah Palin … so didn’t want to, but after four different and unrelated people suggested it, in the end I couldn’t resist. Especially since I owned everything needed except the fake glasses, so how much easier can you get? Anyway, plenty of lists exist for…
Mansion of Terror: Danger Hellaphant
Last night, a team of us (okay, just me and two guys–gotta protect myself!) went to Mansion of Terror, the haunted house that’s billed as the scariest in Austin. And the #8 in the nation. Or the #1 by Lions Gate Films. Who knew film companies rated haunted houses? Anyway, it’s good. So good that…
Magazine Throwdown Thursday
Are you a Tribeza girl or Austin Monthly man? Because AM is hosting not one but TWO events this Thursday, while the ‘Bez is hosting just one event, and I’m not even sure the drinks are free this time around! Two of the events are just one block apart … oh the drama! Deets: Tribeza…
RUMOR MILL: 12 Gage
I normally just post rumors on the sidebar over there, but this one is too juicy to relegate to the sidelines: Paul Petersen, legendary chef at The Gage Hotel in Marathon (full disclosure: I covered him in a 2007 article in Texas Home & Living) is rumored to be opening a restaurant in Austin called…

Good Fashion!
I often post in posts and on that little side bar about all the things I see that make me upset/sad/angry that nobody’s mama taught them to dress as well as mine taught me. But in the spirit of being positive, I want to write a few notes about things that totally WORK that I’ve…
FREE Crossfit Workouts
So I’m running around Town Lake last night and stumble upon one of my closest friends supervising a Crossfit workout … what?! Oh, you mean I should have read the email I got from you? … Anyway, point is: more free Crossfit workouts–yay! I’ve tried to explain Crossfit before and never been able to. I…
I’m a Halloweenie
Last year I couldn’t think of anything clever enough, so for Halloween I went as my dog. She’s white with a huge black spot on her eye, so I wore all white, painted a huge black spot on my eye, and wore her collar and leash around my neck (at least people got a kick…
Blondes vs. Brunettes
Blondes vs. Brunettes is an epic battle of football prowess pitting the blonde vs. the brunette … raising money for Alzheimer’s research … and it’s coming to Austin this spring! We all know how much I love flag football, but this gonna be even better! Already a success in Houston, Dallas, and DC, the charity…
