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…

Techno Tuesday

So I’m not a big fan of techno. I know there are cooler–and more specific–terms for it, but I just call it all techno. House, trance, drum-n-bass, whatever. It’s techno. (Electronic music is the proper term, alright? please don’t send me hate mail) BUT I have some good friends who are djs and obviously love…

Makers and Wakers and Fat Tires, oh my!

So it’s a big weekend, like you didn’t know (um, hello Texas vs. Missouri).

Do something good: Blog Action Day 08

Today is Blog Action Day 2008. Never heard of it? Me neither. BUT it’s a good thing: bloggers (grrr, I hate being called a blogger) unite against poverty, in whatever way a particular blogger wants to. I’m going to use it as a jumping off point to encourage you to check out kiva.org. Kiva has…

Huge Weekend

I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big.

In Austin, our course is a tough one–lots of hills–but pretty, through downtown, campus, the capitol area.…

Lululemon Yoga Potluck

So yoga-clothing store Lululemon is having an event celebrating healthy living and eating! It’s a healthy potluck, with snacks brought in from Castle Hill Fitness Cafe (delish but expensive, though they’re free here) and hopefully some dishes by yoga-loving Austinites! Stop by anytime between 2 & 5 pm. You can also go to lululemon (3700…

Deep Eddy Dive-In Movie

Okay, okay, I made up the “Dive-In Movie” part, they call it “Splash Party Movie Night,” which is just boring. And this picture looks like it’s from 1993. Anyway, summer Saturdays at Deep Eddy feature a movie projected onto a screen, which you can watch while floating in the pool! Freakin’ sweet. It’s a family…
