When I got out of my car at a friend's house I was attacked by this little girl. And by attacked I mean she ran from across the street and jumped up on me and licked my legs. I love the sideways look she has in this picture.

I went to lunch with a friend and somehow the conversation turned to desserts. I decided that this gloomy day needed something sweet so I picked up some Nothing Bundt Cakes for the office. The Chocolate Chip Red Velvet is delicious.

Sitting at my desk I could hear some scratching at the window behind me. I found this little guy hopping around the ground and bushes outside the glass. His mom came and brought him a snack while I was taking pictures. It's like a zoo out there. We had a possum the other day.

The mimosa trees in the alley are blooming again. Which reminds me Ziziki's Sunday Brunch has really been calling my name. Maybe this weekend. They have good mimosas.

Had lunch with a friend today. She has developed a bit of a sweet tooth. Not that I'm complaining. Also, not all Skillet Cookies are created equal. This is the perfect size too. Just big enough to satisfy without feeling stuffed. ---- That's what she said. Hahaha. I miss The Office already.

I went to have dinner with a friend and her family. I haven't seen them in a very long time. The two of us went out to get dessert after so we could really catch up. Good dessert. Even better company.

Woke up at dawn to go do a bike ride out in Burleson. It was a long ride but lots to laugh about since it was with a bunch of the family. Then I went back to my side of town to hang out with some friends that are like family. As you can see I was self medicating after my ride.

Left work early for the third time this week. I drove out to my parents' house to do some work on my car and to be in town for our bike ride tomorrow morning. My mom has chickens.

Our office went to the ballpark to see the Ranger game. And guess what? It was $1 Nolan Ryan All Beef Hot Dog Day!!! Great day with the guys from work and our boss' wife came to add some class to our group.

Zeke woke me up at 5am this morning. We left the office early because the weather was crazy. I went home and took a really long nap. I woke up just in time to go to bed. Didn't want to sleep through that.

This is Shadow. Not a pun. He lays with his front legs splayed out like a seal.

Went with Riley to get a late lunch and run to Home Depot. We had a dog like this when I was young. He didn't like anyone who wasn't part of our family. And I mean "didn't like" in a scary, violent way.

Went to go get my hair cut this morning. There was a guy in there with two dogs. One looked kinda like my Vegas. The other was a French Bulldog. Very cute and well behaved.

Tonight was Riley's prom. A big group met at one of her friend's house so we could all take pictures. I wonder if they'll look back and think they look as funny as we do. I saw one of my prom pictures not too long ago.

I got a side job to make some blocks for a restaurant to hold menu cards. The order was for 100 pieces. Very easy, but very monotonous work. I still have to brand them.

Went to go tour a new printer today. Got to see some Mary Kay and Yu-Gi-Oh cards printed in the building where Barney and Wishbone were filmed.

A couple of the guys at work got a big box of cookies delivered here. Woo hoo. Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter....

Went to dinner with a friend. Dinner was good but the best part was that the restaurant was walking distance to Ben and Jerry's.

Our client opened a new restaurant way up north in Fairview. We got to go to the test opening of the new Texas Land & Cattle. Started off in the bar with a tall Shiner. Great way to start off a great meal.

We came home and spent some time watching tv together. Riley invited Shadow up on the couch with her but he gets so excited he can't figure out how to get up there and lie down so he just stands there all crooked across Riley.

We had a visitor today at work. She wouldn't hold still for long. She's a Pit Bull/Dachshund mix. She looked just like a pit bull in the face, but too short and long. Kinda if a pit bull were the shape of a basset hound.

So the weather has been all over the place this spring. While it was a nice day outside today, when we walked into our home today it was cold. I made a tomato cream soup for dinner. Probably the last soup for a long while but it was really good.
May 5, 2013 - Sunday
I spent part of the day at a friend's house. Sitting around with him and his dad, smoking cigars and drinking caipirinhas after a great meal isn't the worst way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I was out in south Arlington and then went to meet a friend in the old neighborhood. Driving down some old roads that I haven't been down in a really long time made unrelated snippets of memories stubble over themselves one after another. It was a good trip.

I had a glass of sparkling water with lunch. I put the glass down on my desk and I thought the light made the bubbles look so cool.

I know this is blurry, but I was at an unveiling of three new pieces my boss and his wife did for the CBS Radio building on Fitzhugh and there wasn't a lot of room or time to get a good shot of them.

Playing hookie from work starts with driving through downtown to get out of town. I went to hang out in Ft. Worth with one of my nephews. The day started out dreary, but turned out pretty nice.
