Blisters

Just thought I'd let y'all know that I do pick up a broom from time to time, ahem Rachel. Mom and I had to get the house all pretty and perfect yesterday, Sunday, for our open house. Naturally we had about 1.5" thick pollen that had fallen the previous few days so that was fun to sweep up.

The outcome of my hard work...look away kids!

This passed Saturday was my annual company picnic! Seeing as I've worked with my company for a little over 2 months, it was my first annual company picnic. It was a really good time! I brought along my mom because she's my new partner in crime and unlike most moms I'm not embarrassed by her....well for the most part ;) Anyway, the picnic took/takes place at Cameron Management's CEO, Dougal Cameron's home in Chappell Hill right outside of Hempstead before you get to the beautiful Brenham, Texas, famous for their expansive pastures of wildflowers (bluebonnets, Indian paint brushes, buttercups, black eyed susans...so pretty!) There was delish BBQ and potato salad (my weakness!) and wine and beer and the essential picnic drink, Crush orange soda, no big deal ;) (Don't tell anyone but I desperately needed a "bit of the hair of the dog" if you know what I mean) So after we ate, there were fun festivities like trampoline and horseshoe contests for the kiddos and then there was an egg toss! Super corny but I mean, who would turn down an egg toss contest, seriously? They're fun! And it's a little scary how determined people can get, especially if there's a $150 cash prize for the winner, which we weren't. Apparently I decided to accidentally "bowl" my egg over the rocky gravel to mom.
