Walker and I left for Asheville, NC at 2 PM on Saturday. Because we would be leaving the dogs at the house we knew we had to make the trip as short as possible. We got to downtown Asheville at 6 PM and the line to get into the bookstore was around the block. I hopped out of the car to get in line while Walker attempted to park the car. It took him ( Read more... )

Amy Sedaris just wrote a new book called I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence. It's a book on how to entertain and while it will be about that, it of course will also be funny.

This weekend I actually DID something (this does not include watching tv and playing on the interweb, those are assumed).

She is so freakin hilarious...I wish Comedy Central would have never cancelled the original show.

8 more days until our whole house has to be packed up. How many boxes have we packed? About 3. One has dvd's and the others have Walker's photo books.

Walker and I are loading up the U-haul next Thursday and he will be driving to Atlanta next Friday. I will be staying here with a friend until the 30th because I have a wedding to attend on the 29th ( Read more... )

Shortly after I wrote that entry about hippie Austin, we found out that Walker got into Grad School.  The only issue being that this grad school is located in Atlanta freakin Georgia ( Read more... )

Today is one of those days where I am reminded what a liberal hippie place Austin is. Whole Foods (which is HQ in Austin) has decided to stop selling live lobster because, "We are committed to really treating animals with compassion and respect; we put a lot of emphasis on humane treatment," said Margaret Wittenberg, vice president for quality ( Read more... )
