que simple vista no se ve
life in austin has been especially sweet lately. with the exception of my job (i got called satan last saturday), i am still quite content. i've been working out with surprising consistency (for me) and made other healthy changes. the biggest of these is that i drink 3 liters of water every day at work. coincidentally, i also pee every five minutes. seriously though, i feel a lot more cleansed and i swear it's made my skin feel a whole hell of a lot like the backside of a baby.
last tuesday i went to my first austin interfaith meeting. it's basically a group of people of faith (protestants, catholics, jews) that work together to improve the community. i had an interesting conversation with an older woman who's a parole officer. we discussed the problems/injustices of our prison system and she confirmed a lot of what i already felt. like i told my mom tonight, i don't know if i'll go back to any of their meetings. there was a lot of talk about anger, and while that gets some people going, it just isn't really for me. i like to keep things a little more upbeat. but we'll see how it goes, they do a lot of good things for austin. they'd asked me to go to meetings with city council members and mr. heb himself, but they didn't fit into my work schedule. if i don't watch it, i'm going to turn into my father. (he's uber involved in the good ole lubbock community.) that was one big ramble. my apologies.
this weekend was fabulous. i went to seguin for clayfest and got to see a bunch of my old college friends. i reunited with one particular b. frie (best friend for those of you not in the know) that i used to hang out with all the freaking time at A&M. it's funny, but when you don't see people for so long it's easy to forget just how wonderful they are. i had this revelation about how much i missed certain people and i'm so thankful i went and got little to no sleep.
look how lovely they are:
this week, i work two days. two. days. then i get to play for 4th of july and i'm praying it doesn't rain. then i get to go to dallas to see clay get his improv on and hopefully go to a ranger's game. THEN, the family comes in town and then i only have two more weeks of work! right now i'm trying to figure out how i can go on my family's annual camping trip in the mountains right after that's done but before teaching starts. it would be perfecto.
so, all in all i'm still a smiley girl these days.
