COADC Executive Committee:
I would like to invite all of you (and your spouses if they wish to come) to dinner on Thursday, October 9th at 7:30 p.m. following the College Scholarship Reception to meet Ms. Brandy Douglass, the new COADC coordinator prior to the business meeting. We will have dinner at Abuelo’s on University Drive in College Station.
Please RSVP to me no later than Wednesday, October 8th to confirm your attendance.
This will be a great opportunity to sit down with Brandy and get to know her better before the meeting. I hope all of you can attend!
MY WITTY REPLY:
I would like to confirm that I will be at the Abuelo's Dinner without my spouse. For reasons unknown to me he has decided not to attend - rat bastard! (I'm the single girl in a club of about 100 married men over the age of 40)

Damn You - Capitol Grille
So at 1:45 I decided that maybe a grilled cheese would make me feel better. I've got some sort of weird sore throat thing going on and I'm still super sore from getting lost on Saturday. Comfort food was calling my name...."Allie eat me"...see calling my name. The lady at the grille said they are closed and that I could get a pre-made sandwich from the cooler. There's nothing comforting about a cold tuna sandwich that was made Lord only knows how long ago. Duh lady I don't feel good and you're not helping.
Bonus Star goes to Mr. Staffer for being the one that actually walked down to the cafeteria and talked to the lady. Thanks for being nice to the complainer!

She's BAA-ACK
I was at mass this evening and she was there in full force. Cat Lady...this really sweet older lady that attends my church. She's been gone for a few months, visiting her son I find out via the loud talking she did before mass started. Nice lady but she freaking smells like cat litter and cats and everything relating to cats, I kid you not. I know, I know, I shouldn't be making fun of people at church but bless her heart she needs a shower and maybe a better bra. I did pray that someone would sit next to me so I could scooch down the pew...
Jesus loves me, Yes he does.
*Part of my punishment for eye rolling during church is the pain I am in for getting lost on the hike and bike trail yesterday and going an extra 4 miles! Good work-out equals burning thighs and calves.

Friends of Mine
So I've been blogging for a whole whopping week now. I know my mama would be so proud but I haven't really told her yet - oops. I've come up with come crafty names for my friends. I'm sure they all really love me writing about them - if not oh well sorry 'bout your luck. Some friends I've already talked about and some not yet but to protect the identity of those who shall remain nameless you're all getting nicknamed whether you like it or not. Most everyone has so far been called by their job but I have lots of friends that are in the law profession so that's not going to work so well. Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Mama = my mom - duh?
Dad = really?
Bro = the most awesome little brother any girl could have, he lives in Dallas and I miss him tons. He's funny and smart and I wish I had a job that gave me a company car and cell phone just like him.
Coach = she's my cousin that is a high school basketball coach and mother of 4, in the middle of building a house in the middle of nowhere.
Miss Peddler = someone I call my sister and love her like she is my sister....see this posting
Ad Girl = Bro's girlfriend and now a friend of mine. She's going in the advertising business and is mighty good at what she does. She's participating in the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk. She tolerates our crazy family and the bear sandwhiches.
Lawyer = use to be my boss and then she left for law school and I took over her job. We really became friend - friends after she left and I don't know what I'd do without her. She's someone that will let me bitch to no end and then laugh when it's all over. She also likes to go to the movies with me - we meet there, watch the show, and leave....feeling as if we've had some awesome quality time together.
Selena = she's a lawyer too but more importantly she loves to sing and dance and mostly just be crazy for all of our enjoyment. She's sassy and drinks more champagne (out of a can) than anyone else I know.
Golfer = is a wonderful mother and attorney as well. She played golf in college and professionally for a while. She has the cutest baby ever and I love to go over and play with them. The only person I know that when I go over to visit I can fall asleep on the couch and she just leaves me there - I must have been really tired.
Winter = my only friend from high school that I talk to on a regular basis. He's in law school right now and live far away. We have an on going joke of marriage at the age of 35 or 40 (I can't remember which). His family is a constant source of humor for me; so is he.
Attorney = is living the life downtown. She's on the corporate fast track, and not loving it so much - tuffing it out long enough to pay off the student loans and build up a wedding fund and then she's out of there (maybe). We were the single girls but now she's got a boyfriend and he's treating her like a princess. Good for her!
PA = my cousin who is currently attending Wake Forrest University in North Carolina. She love the medical field but tends to call me freaked out about a test or problem. For some crazy reason I'm the one who can calm her down or at least make her laugh and take a deep breath. Miss her tons but so very happy that she's jumped out of her comfort zone and rocking the Carolinas!!!
Dilly Dally = is my Muddy Buddy. We're scheduled to run the Muddy Buddy race in Dallas - good luck to us. I've slowly been training and I hope she's still my friend after this. We have long discussions about nothing in particular and laugh at other people. Her husband and I have a running joke about the love for cashews and exchange cans of them when we visit each other.
There are many other people I will write about but can figure out names for them....if you know who you are and I don't have you listed on here please give me a suggestion for your name or I'll pick it and it may not be nice! If you are on the list and don't like your name...let me know and we can discuss a change.

Things to Smile About
I'm not saying that I'm singing right now but after the car debacle yesterday here's some things to be happy about.
Fall Weather - not that it's cooling off in Austin but at least it's not 100. The weather channel was showing snow in the North....something to dream of for later.....much much later.
Halloween Candy - purchased the econo bag yesterday at Sam's. Got to love a month of having candy around the house for no real reason. Any bets on how much candy will actually still be in the basket by the time Trick-or-Treaters show up at my door step? I'm not saying but I'm saying that basket's going to be refilled before the 31st.
College Football - I'm so excited to be going to the Aggie game next weekend. True reason to drink beer before 10am(not that I really need a reason); the smell of smokers going on the asphalt; sausage with mustard on tortillas for breakfast and lunch and dinner; being on campus and remembering how rediculious I acted while I was there (see drinking before 10am); and secretly wishing I could act that way again every once in a while.
Hamburgers and French Fries - I love the grease on a good burger and as of late that's been the food of choice (except texmex - duh) Mike's Pub, Players and Red Robin just to name a few. I say screw the diet and inhale some grease. It will make you feel better and duh-it's just plain good.

$$$ down the tube
So I just picked my car up from the shop....Un-be-lievable. I just spent $190.00 on a new factory model gas cap for the car. Really, they better have been sure that the gas cap was the only problem or I'm going to through a screaming, hissy fit the next time the check engine blinks at me. I can think of about 10,000 things that could have been wrong but never in 10,000 year would I have guess that for the last 10 years this car has had the incorrect gas cap. Has anyone ever heard of this?Lawyer get the bonus star today for picking me and my crap up at the shop at taking me to work - by the way she has a fancy new car and it's making me wish for something shiny and new....which I could have purchased with the $190. This thing is not shiny at all....there could be some bedazzling of a gas cap in my future (just joking - maybe).
This and That
Rant: This is for the guy that cut me off at the grocery store yesterday....thank you. I know you were probably in a super big hurry for your douche bag meeting but was it really necessary to steal the parking spot that I waited for patiently with blinker going; I mean you looked right me.
No worries though - I finally got some food and ate a de-licious taco salad for dinner. Peddler came over last night to hang out and watch DWTS. I love this girl....we've been friends for a long time but really started hanging out when she went to college, Fightn' Texas Aggie Class '07. We have a lot in common and she's probably the closest thing to a sister that I've ever had. When my parents moved from Canyon to Abilene, they moved less than a mile from her parents. So for the last 6 years we've spent holidays, long weekends and many football game weekends together. Since I graduated from college I can say 90% of the awesome times I've had have been with and because of her. Peddler is hilarious and I miss her when she travels the craft show circuit. I'm a little jealous of her job - she's the events manger for the Peddler Show. Thank goodness she lives in Austin so when she's in town we get to hang out! Peddler received the bonus star yesterday for laughing at my blog even if she didn't thing it was funny and being genuinly sad that Kim Kardashian was kicked off of DWTS!!!
