Random thoughts...

My favorite new snack food: Snyder's Honey Wheat Sticks.

Iced tea is best in a clear glass.

Fountain drinks should have pebble ice (like Sonic), a lid, a straw, and a Styrofoam cup.

September is always better than August (in Texas).

Virtually all hotels are overpriced.

It's time for the Astros to make their run at the wild card spot.

I prefer men to wear collared shirts when playing tennis or golf.

Crossword clues should indicate if the answer is more than one word.


**I tried this as a numbered list, but didn't like it.

I agree with most of what you say - here's waht I don't agree with:

No lid, no straw - I goes too fast and you can't drink with a lid on with no straw.

Never tried Snyder's Honey Wheat Sticks.

As far as hotels are concerned - they are too expensive, but most of the time they are relative to what you get - the cheaper, the sleasier...

I'm still thinking about the crossword clues...

Anonymous is crazy, imho. Doesn't he/she realized that you get the ginormous size - thus it never goes too fast!! :)

You are *totally* right on the crossword clues - and the hotels. And I think men (and women?) are required to wear collared shirts on many golf courses...as for tennis, well, I seriously wouldn't know.

And isn't this the kind of September you'd try to remember? Ah...

Fun thoughts - keep 'em coming! And I think your blog is looking great!!

I also prefer my tea from a clear glass. However, I do not like to drink water from a glass -- I prefer plastic. Maybe from drinking from water bottles for so long.

And I'm just glad the men do not wear glitter while playing tennis like the women do. Glitter!!?! Come -- you're playing tennis. Save it for the after party.

Love ya!! Are you still coming on the 22nd?

Do any of those things qualify as "quirks"? Just wondering.

I'm with you almost all the way - that styrofoam cup thing - ugh - the sound makes my blood run cold!

A very sensible list indeed!
However,Ice tea is best in a clear glass IF it is Sun tea.

Hi Joyce,

I stumbled across your blog, ended up reading nearly all of it.

It's really strange how similar our lives are in Austin.

I'm 35 and live in North Austin. I am a business blogger/podcaster - you can find mine at http://www.insightsintomarketing.com. I am toying with the idea of a personal blog, but I afraid of losing my online professional image.

Anyway, thanks for the info on the ruins. We are traveling to Mexico over the holidays.

Happy Holidays in rainy Austin :)
