Open Play!

My friend asked me to help out his team because they had been short one girl for awhile now. I had not been able to make it out until this past Thursday. It was so much fun! I haven't played since junior high and it felt great to be able to do something that I had enjoyed so much back then.  After being completely outnumbered as the opposing team had both an offensive and defensive team, I am proud to say that the team toughed it out and won by 2 points. My friend's team is undefeated and heading to the playoffs. With that said, I am completely sore and will need to recuperate.  

Greek Feast

As much as I miss home cooked food and $1 per person meals cooked by myself at home, I do like eating out at least once in awhile. Correction. I LOVE eating out. So when you are on a budget, what do you do? For me, it's either hitting up happy hours or buying a $25 gift certificate at restaurant.com. Sign up to receive emails from them and be on the look out for as much as 80% off of their certificates. You can often buy a $25 gift card for only $2! 

I'm not sure about other cities, but for Austin and Houston, they feature some pretty good restaurants such as Clay Pit and La Strada. Recently, I went to the family owned Greek restaurant,  El Greco, with John, and had a delicious feast for under $20 due to our $25 gift card. What a good deal as you can see! Left-overs were delicious.

ASOS Black Bella Suede Peeptoe Boots

Currently at the Library. Almost too embarrassed to post as it is midterm season and people all around waiting for a computer. I just lazily finished and submitted to my group mate the reference page I failed to send in late last night. When it gets late, my brain doesn't function too well. Neither does it function well early in the mornings. I tend to doze off during my classes after lunch. When does my brain really function?

Suppose to be studying for my English midterm. I opened Gmail and immediately got distracted by an email from ASOS.

Bad midterm grade? Blame the above boots.

Anthropologie Outer piece, F21 Zipper Dress, Nine West heels

I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago. Thought I would post it now since I never got a chance to previously. I got both pieces when I went to Dallas in mid-August. I was actually surprised by the quality and look of the dress when I was scavenging through the North Park F21. A few hours later on that same day, I also scored the Anthropologie piece for a fraction of it's original price. What a happy shopping day that was. 

Thought I'd get a quick post in before this week starts to get hectic. Since I promised myself that I would be more committed to this blog, I thought why not update each time I got a chance to. 

Pretty typical day today. Came home and made this:

Tomato Cream Spinach Penne

Yum. This is definitely going to be one of my staples. 

Couch Potato

October is the month of the Texas State Fair, Midterms, Weather Changes (in Texas), and last, but not least MLB Post Season. And because of the latter, I will be for the next ~3 weeks acting as a couch potato with my eyes glued to our new television. Ever since the NY meltdown in the World Series to the Marlins when I was in high school, I took a break from baseball. Call it obsessive, call it stupid, call it Whatever you want. I am glad to be watching baseball again! In HD too!

MLB aside, it was a busy last 2 weeks for me. John and I took a short trip to Dallas - part "business", part recreation. We visited the State Fair and had quite a time. More about that in later posts. We were swamped with presentations, projects, midterms and afterwards, made a trip home to Houston to enjoy some time off with family and friends. All this was fun, but am I glad to be sitting here relaxing before another busy week!

Remember the snake skin leggings? From the previous post? Ha. Well, I found an outfit that I paired them with on on my camera today.

I am trying to make a commitment to update this blog more often. Let's see how this goes.
