FYI - almost fifty new pictures are up over at Picture Fish. They're from the H-Town Blogger get together with Jish and almost all of the pictures from my weekend trip to Galveston.

I got busy yesterday and forgot to do the Friday Five, so here's my answers!
1. What size shoe do you wear? Usually a 7 1/2, but sometimes a seven.
2. How many pairs of shoes do you own? I own one pair of boots (cowboy), one pair of suede ankle boots (very casual), a pair of Reebok tennis shoes, a pair of sandals, and two or three pairs of high heels.
3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)? Sandals.
4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite? My brown suede sandals. They are my favorite because they are so comfortable. I love wearing them.
5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes? Probably about $100 for my old boots.

It's Friday, so that means time for another edition of Discovery Friday!
Since I had such a great time at the H-Town Bloggers get together with Jish, I decided to do a special H-Town Blogs list.
.: Being Katie - I didn't get to talk to Katie as much as I would have liked to last night, but she's so nice and interesting, you can't help but like her.
.: Coffee Corner - Mike in a few words: witty, funny, interesting, cool. Check him out.
.: Daily Ventings and Exclamations - this is the second time I've met Hanna and I really enjoy her company. She's so spirited and fun and her site is a wonderful read.
.: Photomatt - I've been reading Matt's site for a while, but for some odd reason, haven't added him to my blogroll. He's a great guy with a cool blog where he posts some MT hacks that I can't wait to try. He's also a digital photographer with the same camera as me. Check his site out; he rocks.
.: Waterlily.nu - Kathy has got to be the sweetest girl on the planet. It is absolutely a delight to meet her. It's her birthday tomorrow, so go say hi and wish her an early birthday.

The wonderful Jish came into Houston this week, so several of the H-Town Bloggers got together to meet him at Market Square Bar & Grill. A great time was had by all (Jish really seemed to love Texas for a couple of big reasons) and I hope that Jish graces us with his presence again in the future. He was really funny, very cool, and he owns a Miata! I also got to meet several bloggers that I hadn't met before (Matt, Mike, Chuck, David, and Robert) and some that I had (Elaine, Ted, Hanna, and Kathy). So far I've had such a great time at both of the get togethers I've attended that I am going to try and not miss any future ones.
Matt (who I felt an odd kinship with since he's going to the University of Houston, attending the Honors College on an Alumni scholarship - just like me!) has his pictures of the event up and mine are up over at Picture Fish.

Okay, this is geeky, but I am excited because I've been linked ninety-nine times over at Blogrolling. Who wants to be 100?
UPDATE: Pixel Sphinx stepped up and became the hundredth person to blogroll me. Thanks so much! :-)

I cannot believe that I forgot to do my "It's a Group Thing" term yesterday. Since I forgot for the first time since I started doing this back in the beginning of March, today will be a double term day.
Jeanna and I had such a great time in Galveston this weekend at Moody Garden's Toadally Frogs exhibit, so today's "It's a Group Thing" terms are:
A Knot of Toads
A Colony of Frogs

Several months ago I won an mp3 player in Southwestern Bell's Digital Madness Sweepstakes. It finally came in on Monday, but I haven't really had a chance to look at it until today. I listen to my mp3s on Winamp at both work and home and don't really want to carry an mp3 player around in the gym (even though this one is tiny). What I was really hoping is that I could get a converter thing and play them through my car's radio. The mp3 player is a RCA RD1000 Kazoo, so if anyone knows if this could be done, could you let me know? Thanks!

I was looking over my posts from the last few days and I haven't had a whole lot to say (I even skipped the Monday Mission and This-Or-That Tuesday) since the weekend. I think it's a combo of being tired from doing a lot on my mini-vacation (like walking six hours on Saturday alone), being up early the last two weekends in a row, worrying about a lot of issues at work, being out really late a few nights this week already, and not getting enough sleep. For the first time since July 21st I failed to even put a picture a day into Picture Fish, though I do have forty-eight ready to be put in from my trip. I actually think I may be a bit depressed (the overeating and lack of energy are my biggest clues). I'm hoping that I'm going to be able to shake this funk pretty soon and get back into the swing of things. It's shitty when you're just down enough to be miserable and have no energy.

Today is that tart Sheila's birthday. We have a ton of stuff in common (especially the books we read; I've currently gotten her hooked on the Anita Blake books by Laurell K. Hamilton) and I think she is just a super cool person. Take a moment and go wish her a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Sheila! May it be filled with lots of love, cake, and books! (Btw, From a Buick 8 is better than Dreamcatcher.)

Today turned out to be quite an interesting Monday. Steven has been mulling over buying a new car (pre-owned, but new to him) ever since he paid his car off back in July. He'd been looking at the Mercedes CLK430s, but wasn't sure if he wanted to upgrade (he had a C230). The salesman called today and, since it was the end of the month, they were able to reach a good deal using his car as a trade in, so now we've got this gorgeous silver 2002 CLK430. It's a pimped out model with the navigation system, electric every thing, dual climate controls, laser encoded key, integrated phone system; basically, the works. It's too dark to take pictures, so I'll have to get some tomorrow. It's a super sweet car. It's always so exciting to get a new vehicle!

I think this is fitting for more than just the similarities in the name. ;-)
You are Lil' Kim!
You flaunt your sex appeal to get what you want, and you want
everything you can get. You are loud, spontaneous, and fun,
and despite your wild streak, people adore you.

I've been back home for a couple of hours, but I had to eat and I wanted to finish reading From a Buick 8 since I didn't have a lot left.
I had a wonderful time in Galveston with Jeanna, like I always do. We spent over four hours at Moody Gardens, had the best pizza in the world at Mario's on the seawall, watched fish leap out of the water at night (and speculated that maybe it was because of sharks and stayed in very shallow water), bought a ton of useless, but cool, goodies, and laughed, laughed, and laughed. I so needed this weekend and wish I could have stayed there the rest of this week with Jeanna.
I've got a ton of e-mails to catch up on, about 110 pictures from Friday and Saturday to download and edit, some blog reading to catch up on, and I really want to play some Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, so enjoy the rest of your Sunday afternoon, kiddies.
