Bea’s flying in which means we have no choice but to drive up to Dallas to go run her belly. Oh, don’t know if I mentioned it yet, but Bea’s prenant. Yay! I’ve never seen a pregnant woman so effing adorable.

Kuya benn looks good in a hat and I don’t care what anyone has to say I rock in my clip-ons.

I snapped a photo just as Ray threw a ball on Ben as he was sleeping. Oh how we love to torment him. Poor Ben.

Before we head home Ray finally gets to work on his car with his dad.

It’s Bill’s birthday and this year his girlfriend decided to throw him a surprise Gangsta 80′s themed birthday.

Themed parties, count me in. I finally have a reason to buy those high top converse I’ve had my eyes on.

Our new BFF’s Lauren and Blake.

Bill arrives, check out the video.

The line up.

Gangstas Boys.

All the gangsta ladies.

Don’t judge her.

Those must be some good wings.

Come on, just give him a kiss already.

What happens in the ladies room stays in the ladies room.

My new BFF’s.

Good times.

The pizza guy arrived the and all the ladies swooned to him.

Bill it’s time to take it off.

And get wet. I love this photo.

No birthday would be complete without cake.

I totally look like Eircle here with my shorts so high up and camera around my neck.

I wouldn’t mess with them.

Gangsta love.

Toward the end of the night we gathered everyone around to played games. Someone tell that annoying little Asian to sit her ass down.

What a great party.

Today was our first day hanging out with our new friend Blake outside of Catz. We grilled up some food on the BBQ and soaked up the sun by the pool side. It was a fun filled day.

Later that night Blake took us to the Hula Hut.

It was right on the lake and everything.

After dinner Blake took us to Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar.

Where he danced his heart out on stage.

I actually got up on stage too but luckily no one recorded that.

Ray came down with the worst case of sun burn he ever had, so bad that he wouldn’t let me post the photos of him up on here but after poking fun and taking a bunch of photos of him I came across this in a magazine I was reading and then felt bad.

Astronaut Ice Cream

Astronaut Ice Cream

Normally you couldn’t get me to pay 1.99 for one ice cream sandwich, but this isn’t any ordinary ice cream sandwich, this is astronaut ice cream, the stuff they eat in space . . . NOT.  Actually my friend Marco’s works for NASA and he said this stuff never made it to the moon. Well it might not have made it to the moon but rest assure it will make it to the cavernous abyss of my mouth, where it will get swallowed up never to be seen again. I promise you that.

Astronaut Ice Cream

I couldn’t wait to get home and sample this foreign object. I examined it first. It was hard, not hard like I could use it as brass knuckles and beat you with it because it was super light, like hard styrofoam.  It’s not something I would crave on a hot summer’s day but if it were lying around the house and I happen to be walking by I would definitely pick it up as a quick snack out of mere boredom. You know, this would be the perfect dessert food to bring along while camping.

Here’s Ray’s analysis of it.

There you have it, Astronaut ice cream. Go out and try it for yourself.

Weekend Fun

My friend Guav has a mom who I know by Guav Mom, no not Guav’s mom, but Guav Mom. She’s a kind, gentle woman and one of her favorite hobbies and talents is crochet. She’s bad ass at it and can make damn near anything. After our first visit she already ask me if I want her to make me a hat. Sure I love hat’s. Actually I love almost anything free but what I really love is things that were made especially for me from people I love. Now that’s one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. I was visiting Bea and Guav over in the east coast at the time and within about a week of meeting Guav Mom I recieve a package in the mail. My beautiful hat has arrived. She made it perfectly to fit my head so that it doesn’t cover my eyes when I pull it all the way down like most hats do on my head, leaving me looking like a condom head and that’s not cool. So a few weeks back a recieved yet another package in the mail, Gauv Mom had made me a shaw to go with my hat. I love it. You can’t see, but the top is angled so that it rest behind the back of ny neck perfectly. I love that she pays attention to small details like that. Well I love my new hat and shaw and I love that Guav has a mother that’s as sweet as strawberry cupcakes with buttercream frosting and I think I love Guav Mom.

Dallas here we come again. I don’t remember exactly why we drove up this time but it was a busy trip. First we met Steven at Ten on Main Street. Frank a.k.a D.J. Love was D.J.ing that night and I finally got to see him in action. Check it out.

The next day we met everyone at La Cubanita.

Me and pops.

My order and it was so good.

Mable was in town, yay! Wow, they totally already look like a family.

After brunch we headed to Dallas Black Dance Theatre where Nycole teaches dance.

We got the V.I.P tour of the place and even got the see her students perform an African dance for us. Check it.

Then a bunch of us went to the mall with where we met Bernh and her family for movie time fun.

For dinner we went to Benihana or was it Kobe steak house?

The next day we ate at some well known burger joint.

But the best part of our trip was going to Sprinkles. Can you believe I never heard about this place until today?

It was amazing.

And later we went out for Vietnamese, another one of my favorites.

The next morning we took pops out to Cafe Brazil.

Ray’s food.

My food. What can I say, I like salads.

I’m not really what you call a burger and fries kind of gal but I do enjoy more than my fair share of desserts. It was our first time here and we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all just mediocre food and that’s me being nice. In my opinion there’s just too much good stuff going on in Austin to have mediocre food in my belly.
