Start Singing The News...
Persuaded myself to get to the gym today. Burnt off a bit of lonely energy. In the evening I made potato skins stuffed with cheese, bacon and spring onions. Ben liked them, but I wasn't so keen! Too much potato, not enough cheese... We spent the evening ...
Have A Little Faith
... Food Market. They were also filming a TV commercial at the end next to the meat fridges which was bizarre! Next we popped over to Katy Mills where we headed to Bed, Bath & Beyond to exchange the electric beaters I'd bought her as a Thank You gift. ...
Houston, The Eagle Has Landed
Our early start was about an hour later than planned, but in the end it didn't make much difference! Ben drove the one hour journey along the I-10 into Houston and then south down the I-45 to the NASA Johnson Space Center. Given that the center had ...
Free! Free!
More photo sorting today, my back is starting to complain loudly. On the plus side I finally received my mobile unlock code from T-Mobile via Twitter and spent a fair amount of time finding the correct settings to get it to connect to the internet. Now ...
Pappasito's Cantini
Ben headed back to the weekly grind and I was picked up by Crystal around 11am. As we drove back towards Sugar Land I'm beginning to notice that the script style of the C in Coca~Cola features everywhere here. Anytime you have a capital C, it looks like ...
Life Continues As Normal
I finished off "A Handmaid's Tale" today. It was an okay book, one of those that makes you think, is written well, and probably belongs to the list of books you really should read. I struggled with the flow of it though, and as it didn't really finish, I ...
Infomercials Are Addictive
... , and maybe Sharon, tomorrow, so am writing this entry early. Tonight we're heading to Perry's Steakhouse and Grill Restaurant in Katy. I will add my opinion sometime tomorrow! --- Okay, so Perry's Steakhouse & Grill is expensive, I'll give it that. ...
Our Survey Said...
Made it to the gym today after the weight tried to make an increase again! Doubt I'm going to lose weight here after all. One of the ladies I met with Crystal likes to call it the "Texas Ten Pounds" whereby you gain ten pounds when you come to Texas. So ...
Putt It Here, Partner
After Snow, Rain and Thunder, Katy was under an official fire weather warning today due to an influx of very dry air. It's just plain weird. We had no idea what was open on New Year's Day here so we drove to the nearest Jason's Deli in the hope of a bowl ...
Small Goals To Success
Hong Kong City Mall, about half an hour drive from the apartments, is the largest Asian Shopping center in the US outside of California. Mostly Vietnamese it appears from all the restaurants about the place. We had a wander around and stopped in a shop ...
It Never Rains, It Pours
Ben headed back to work today and had a massively busy day where he essentially didn't stop. I struggled to get back into routine and wasted most of the day... I had a sugar cookie today - bought from the supermarket - to see what they should taste like. ...
How to be an American
A quick outing to Target and Chick-fil-a with Monike and her two year old, Valentina, today saw me find the *cutest* baby cardigan - blue or pink with large white polka dots, so very American that you'd just want to top it off with a faux pearl necklace. ...
Sometimes It's Not The US, It's Just Me
Ah, the wonders of living abroad. Having been really excited and loving the US since we got here, the last couple of days have rather swung in the complete opposite direction and I find myself thinking it would be nice to be at home, but even then I'm ...
Am I Back In The Far East Again?
Today was surprisingly hectic, but nice at the same time. Monike picked me up around 9:30am and we headed somewhere for a drink and pastry with her friend, Danielle. After that we headed to a new shopping mall (outdoor one) called City Centre where we ...
Last Minute Shopping
... after this one! After a trawl around a couple of Macy stores trying to find some cosmetics that people had asked for, a trip to Katy Mills to pick up some gifts and finishing off at H.E.B. for groceries, we headed home for the evening. The beef satay ...
Getting Ready
With one week to go, there is lots to do as we prepare for the trip. At this point it just appears the list gets longer and longer. Hopefully soon it will begin to get a bit shorter. The big push will be this weekend to get everything together. Our plans ...
Come Fly With Me
Sigh, another adventure over. Or is it? What I haven't been saying here until now is that for the past week we've been stressing massively about an opportunity for us to stay/come back to the US for longer. 18 months to be precise. It comes as a shock to ...
So Close!
... getting ready. This weekend Chris and I are visiting friends in Lubbock and picking up Michelle. Then Michelle and I will head back to Katy to finish my packing, meet Jordan, and help with Leigh's sweet 16! I can't wait to get started, and will hopefully ...

Going Cross-Eyed
Somehow hours passed today - but I made a lot of progress on the photograph front, renaming files and copying them across. I managed to get all of April's photos done before realising I hadn't previously finished the March ones! D'oh! Ben is uber busy at ...
