Houston

This weekend was pretty good, as evidenced by the posts below, but I did have to leave for Houston Sunday night which kind of sucked. I enjoy it in Houston though because the client is good and the people I'm traveling with are fun. And today was fabulous.


We basically have to go and eat dinner immediately after leaving the client's office otherwise we sit on the interstate for 2 hours trying to get back to the hotel. The interstate system in Texas is possibly the worst thing I've ever seen. It's just interstates on top of other interstates, running parallel and perpendicular to other interstates all over the place. And the traffic is unbelievable.


Sean wanted to watch a basketball game that was on at 6, so we were driving around looking for a sports bar to have dinner at and we found one at the Galleria, the most fabulous mall I've ever seen from the outside. Susan and I have been trying to come up with an excuse to make the boys bring us there since we were in Houston last year, and this worked out wonderfully. It is a beautiful mall with all sorts of fancy and wonderful stores, but much like the highway system, it was difficult to navigate. However, I had a 15% off BR coupon that went into effect today, so I was determined to find BR. And when I did, it was huge. It was two stories, and there was a totally separate Petites BR store. it was crazy. And when I paid, they said that because this was the first day of the coupon, I got 20% off instead of 15%! Woo!


I got this dress, but in blue polka dots instead of the pink...the pink was just a bit too bright, and it washed me out. I also got a belt I've had my eye on for a while, a beautiful purple and white silk skirt (I wanted to find the pic online but I couldn't find it...boo), and a green and white striped sheer sweater that would look good with either jeans or as a bathing suit cover up. I almost also bought a little green t-shirt dress I've had my eye on, but I didn't want to go overboard. I'm going to have my eye on that dress for when it goes on sale though, and I should have about $30 in gift cards saved up by then to use on it.



Seriously though, I have GOT to stop shopping and do something else for a while. Or I am going to be poor.
