its definitely the holidays!  I LOOOOVE this time of year!  Spending most of the holiday season in LA is a very different experience than being in Texas, but I say different, not better or worse.  I drive a lot for work and seeing the amazing views constantly remind me to give thanks for all the beauty in this world, no matter how small and insignificant any of it might be. 

I got my tickets to go home and am staying in TX for ten days....wooohoooohoooohooo I cannot wait!!  The first weekend we're going to watch the Texans play the Bears and then to the outback pub for big a$$ steak night....steak and football, doesn't get more Texas than that right?

I can't wait!!

PS its been raining all day here, and its such a different rain than Houston rain.  This is freezing cold water, and lots of wind, and its a steady, non stop, as opposed to big ole droplets of mostly warm, intermittent water....craziness..but super cozy if you've got a warm room and down pillows/blankets!
