I spent my morning in a freezing room with a bunch of other people silently hoping to get picked for jury duty. They called the list of names of the lucky people to get criminal court... I thought it would be too obvious to sit there with my fingers crossed, so I crossed my legs. It was like waiting to be picked for a dodge ball team, only turns out I was the fat kid that wasn't picked for the team. My name was finally called!! I waited with extreme anticipation of my courtroom assignment only to be told I was in the "morning reserves" and just had to hang out until noon. It was then that I realized I had no book or magazine to kill time. I was stuck. Bad news is, no one ever needed the reserves. Good news is, my purse is completely cleaned out and I have the map of Sundance Square memorized. If you ever need to know where anything is in downtown Ft. Worth, I am your woman!
However, the most important thing that happened today is I discovered pure gold. The Tori and Dean, Home Sweet Hollywood show. OMG. Why did no one tell me about this before!? I stumbled upon a marathon and wasted my entire afternoon. I can't believe I have to go back to the real world on Friday.

Friday Night
For all the Friday night partakers...
1. I did NOT say you all were too old! Don't believe half the things Jenny says.
2. Watch this video and practice before you leave for your Friday night date.

What I did on my summer vacation
I had my team meeting today which only means my summer is nearly over. I have a week and 3 days left until my contract days start. As soon as I got to the meeting we did the usual catching up and I was asked the obligatory, "What did you do this summer?"
I am the youngest person on my team, so of course my team members were excited to hear all crazy exciting things I got to do. With all attention on me I answered.... wait for it... wait for it... "ummmm, read blogs??" You would not believe the blank stares I received. One lady started laughing and then stopped and said "Oh, you are serious?"
SO! In light of school starting soon, I would like to write my "What I did on my summer vacation" so that people can know that reading blogs is not ALL I did this summer. (just MOSTLY what I did)
I started the summer as a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding.
This is the bridesmaid luncheon at a tea room in Grapevine. I am the one in the hat and hot pink robe.
Sara's reception was at the Dallas Museum of Art. It was beautiful.
A few days after the wedding, my husband and I went to Playa del Carmen with a group of friends for a week. The scenery was incredible and we had a lot of fun, but I was ready to come home and have some "real" Mexican food at Posados.
One of the first events we planned was to see Chichen Itza. It is considered one of the new 7 Wonders of the World.(I'll never understand why they didn't just call it the 8th or 9th wonder of the world) It was hot. There were a bunch old rocks. Culture for the trip, check.
After the ruins, we stopped at a cenote. It was gorgeous and the water felt great after walking around and looking at rocks for a few hours. All the daring people dove off the steps to the left into the water. I held onto to a rock on the side and cheered them on.
We went to a water park called XelHa and went snorkeling in the big open area you see behind us in the picture. We also went tubing which ending up being us paddling ourselves in a tube because the water didn't flow all that well.
We ventured into downtown Playa to try out the local food and nightlife but we spent most our time at the beach, at the pool, or eating.
We had a great time with great friends!
The rest of July was spent cleaning my house, having a garage sale, and house sitting for a friend.
I finished up my summer this past weekend in Dallas. We went to a cocktail party/couples shower on Friday and then a fundraiser on Saturday. My friend's fiance throws the fundraiser every year and it is basically live music and beer pong all night. There was also a raffle in which I won an autographed Tony Romo football!! But, more importantly I was awarded a "Marathon Basher" gold medal for having been at the event from start to close (4pm-2am) two years in a row. Mom and Dad will be so proud. Well, maybe just Dad.
And that's what I did on my summer vacation.
THE END!!!!
