Handsome and Heels

So, I'm not going to apologize about not writing in a whole month, because everyone who writes blogs and doesn't blog for a long time always apologizes. But there is no need for apologies in the blog world. Blogs are for come and go writing about exciting things in your life or fun facts or interesting things to do/find. We have not had any of that in our lives over the past month, hence the cease in updates about your dear Hammers and Heels couple.

However, I would like to talk a little about the season of summer. Oh summer, how I love you so. No longer are goose bumps continually on my arms and legs, or the scarf perpetually wrapped around my neck, nor the constant worry of stepping on a cold surface or touching a cold beverage. I am free from the subconscious avoidance of anything minutely cold.

Now that we have 95 degree weather every day all day, I don't mind the heat. I can sweat with the best of them. And I am now at peace with my environment. The only thing that peeves me about summer are my car's leather seats. Holy goodness! You know what I'm talking about. Good thing I don't have the Ford Escape anymore with the black leather seats, and instead have the tan leather... I'm talking 10 times more hot when your white little legs sit down on them after that black bakes in the sun for 2 hours while you were in Nordstrom.

The summer also brings on WEDDING SEASON. Which is what David and I are about to enter into. This upcoming weekend marks my good friend Sonya Nair's wedding in Houston. A whole weekend of a beautiful hotel, pretty bridesmaids dress, culture, and driving.

The weekend after is my good friend Amy Anthony's wedding in Fort Worth. Another fun weekend full of driving (not by us! Carrie and Daniel are taking us with them!) another pretty bridesmaids dress, and lots of friends!

The weekend after that is my birthday and we are celebrating in Albuquerque with Morgan and Michael Grimm! I am so stinking excited about this weekend. A good break with my best friend in the world doing fun stuff in a fun town. (There is also a casino ;)

Then, after a good break in Albuquerque we return to Texas for my best friend Carrie Asher's wedding in Austin. A full weekend of primping, beautiful bridesmaids dress, beautiful venue, good friends and NOT driving!

Then we are free! So, "Hammers and Heels" are more like "Handsome and Heels" for the next month of suits and ties and dresses and fancy food and hotels. Then our lives are back to normal, as well as our bank accounts, our weekends, our gas consumption and diets. Then maybe we can get going on some much needed TLC to the Gardenridge Hollow house, aka my house.
