Kara's Visit

Just to clarify for everyone, Kara was NOT the one who made the rude comment about me being big. The comment was made by someone who has no tact or social skills, both of which Kara has.

In October, Kara, my good friend from college, came to visit me all the away from Galveston for a weekend. It had been over a year since I had seen her, so it was a very fun visit. She came the weekend of the OU/Texas game, which BSC was grateful for so he could burrow himself in the basement, watch the football game, and drink himself to an oblivion without being bothered. OU lost, so he drank some more.

So our weekend:

We ate at Bucca di Beppo the night she arrived for a late dinner. I have no idea what this green statue is behind me, but Kara said she liked it so we took a picture.

We did some shopping at one of my favorite shopping centers, Gardner Village. All the witches were out from Halloween. I think my boobs are just about as big as the witch next to us. Thank you pregnancy.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, yummy. Chocolate at The Melting Pot. I asked the waiter to bring me a fancy drink with no alcohol because they didn't have anything fun listed on the menu. He brought out this white chocolate/chocolate slushy thing in a martini glass. Being obviously pregnant, people around us started whispering immediately about the fact that I was drinking, assuming that the fancy drink contained some sort of alcohol. I was dying for one of them to say something to me so I could tell them off, but they just continued to whisper and point. So I did what anyone else would do ... got loud and acted drunk. It was FUN!



This is my house. Shut up, it is too.

This is us sitting in front of my house. Alright, alright, it's not my house. But I wish it was ...

cause then I would have cute bunny rabbits, beautiful peacocks, wild geese, and other creatures running around my yard.

We also drove up one of the canyons so Kara could see the mountains up close. Sometimes I'm so thankful I'm living in a place that has views like this.
