Can you believe it's almost May!! The summer will be here so soon and I cannot wait!

This past weekend was supposed to be spent cleaning my apartment, cleaning out my closet, and getting things ready for my upcoming move to Charleston. Instead, I spent it bar hopping and getting my hair did!


Friday night, I went to Black Walnut Cafe and Velvet Melvin. If you haven't been to Black Walnut, GO! They have the best Santa Fe salad ever!! We didn't have intentions of going out, but going home at 7:00 didn't sound fun either. So when in doubt, head to Velvet Melvin! What's better than a bar you can walk home from right?? After 2 pitchers of beer for 2 people, we decided to walk to El Tiempo for some delicious crab quesadillas! 


Saturday, I went for a run at noon. Not a good idea after drinking all night and in the heat. I got my hair done and then headed for a night on the town. The pictures below will explain my night.

This picture is from a couple of weekends ago. Time to break out the seersucker shorts! 

This picture is from the Black Keys concert at the Woodlands Pavilion last Tuesday. It was a really good concert. Wednesday was a terrible day :-(. 

Here is my needy little dog. They are in Louisiana right now and I can't wait to see them on Friday!

This picture is from Saturday night at Royal Oaks. Never did try it. We met some strange people there though. We got rid of them by sneaking off to the bathroom and hiding out for a little while. 

At Hay Merchant, they serve water in a natty lite 40 oz. I felt like I needed a paper bag! 

I ordered this beer in hopes of finding a summer love in Charleston. :-)

This was our view at Hay Merchant. Some girl caught us taking pictures, but hadn't seen the view. She came up to us and said she just had to know what we were taking pictures of. We just pointed and she started laughing hysterically and went back to show her crew. 

How was your weekend? I cannot wait until Friday when I head to

the beach!!!!!! I will have a much better view than above!

I am linking up with Savanah 

Coming Soon

I am soo excited that Trader Joe's is coming to Houston. I knew they were coming to The Woodlands, but I did not know about Houston. This summer I will get to experience Trader Joe's in Charleston. I cannot wait! 

If you have a TJ's near you , what are some of your favorite products? If you have been to TJ's, is all the hype worth it??

Lately

Last weekend was pretty low key. The weather was so bad Friday night that I ended up not doing too much. I was supposed to go out with a friend. We ended up eating at Berryhill and then getting wine and a movie to watch at home. We watched the new Mission Impossible movie. I haven't seen any of the others, but I liked this one. 


I spent Saturday doing laundry and piddling around in the Heights after looking at an open house with a friend. Later that night, I walked to OTC with a friend. That was not my brightest idea. It's not too far of a walk and I usually run that way. It's a different story when these are on my feet....

On Sunday, we went to the International Festival downtown. It was OK. It is super expensive. It costs almost $20/person just to get in. The beers are almost $9 each. We just walked around for about an hour and a half looking at all the booths and people there. We went to Hay Merchant for cheaper beer/food. I did not take any pictures unfortunately. 


In other news, I just signed up for the Color Run. It sounds like a super fun 5k race where I will be covered in paint by the time I make it to the finish line. I am doing it in New Orleans in November. I think we are going to make a girls weekend out of it. Anyone else want to join???

This coming weekend, I really need to spend some time cleaning out my closet and getting my apartment ready for my sublease tenant. I need to go through my closet and bring a lot to Goodwill. I am thinking about renting a storage unit for the summer for all of the stuff I don't want to leave in my apartment. I think they are pretty cheap and that way, I won't have to bring a bunch of stuff to Louisiana to my parents house. 


I guess this move to Charleston for the summer is about to get real, real quick! I am starting to get a little nervous! Thankfully I am already making friends that live there through the wonderful blog/twitter world! I can't wait to meet them IRL for happy hours and beach trips!

I must say that I am very skeptical about this truck due to the fact that I am from Louisiana. I would like to try it though and see how it compares to Louisiana food.

Have you tried any good food trucks lately? What is your favorite or are you scared to try food trucks?

Houston's Food Truck Bucket List

I had no idea that Houston had so many food trucks. I have seen so many in the past few weeks, but haven't tried any of them yet. I have quite a list of trucks I want to try though. I know a lot of people are very hesitant to try food trucks because of health factors. I have only tried two food trucks, Hey Cupcake in Austin, and Mam's House of Ice in Houston. They are both delicious so the rest must be good right?

1. The Waffle Bus

Not only is this place pretty close to my house, they have Creme Brulee waffles!

2. Bernie's Burger Bus

Some things that stuck out in my mind....

Sweet Potato Fries w/ Chipotle Aioli

Study Hall

One of our famous Burger Patties topped with TX Cheddar Cheese, a Homemade BBQ Sauce, Crispy Seared Slow Braised Pork Belly, Thin Sliced Spanish Onions,  & Homemade Pickles

Recess

Take a break from our amazing burgers with a local sourdough bread grill cheese with TX cheddar. Don’t forget to add some of the electives

3. Eatsie Boys

They have ice cream too!!

I will be back tomorrow to continue my food truck bucket list! If I try any of these, I will need to run there and then run home! It's definitely not diet food!

Photo Fun Mondays

I love when she sticks her tongue out!

Blogger night out!

Brady and Luke

good job Fed Ex

I am trying to run a mile at a faster pace. Hopefully this schedule will help. 

If you follow me on twitter, you have heard about my new roommates!

I really don't know what I am going to do with these cats. They have been here for a couple of days now. The kittens are stuck inside my balcony, which is now a complete mess. 

Momma goes out to eat and then comes back to feed them so they are perfectly safe and happy staying right where they are.
