third annual drunk vacation.

i mean, beach vacation.  team amiel's third annual beach vacation has been booked.  it's true, galveston isn't the most beautiful or the most exciting place on the planet, but it's close, we can all get there easily, and they have the most excellent dance club, Boomba, with it's very own stripper pole.  who could want for more than that? 

 we're staying in the same house since it can accommodate more team amiel members than any other house on the island.  plus it has the perfect room for the kegerator AND has an elevator, which was the source of much amusement (and frustration) last year.

here's hoping that 2011 will live up to 2010's:

bavarian (or bulgarian) festival

cutting edge fashion

75 cent beers

canoe shoe hilarity

complete and utter excess

and general good time.

 
;)

pretty good philosophy to live by.

oh, anvil pub, you have won my little stone-cold heart with your vegan 

chili-cheese fries and everlasting supply of whiskey and 

diet coke.  it's true that all the cuffed jeans and Run DMC 

hats are a bit much, but we all have our faults.  

i'm willing to overlook yours.  

well, most of them.  we'll really have to talk about these guys though, 

and their matching shirts.  a girl can only handle so much 

douchery before losing her (quite expensive) french fries 

and whiskey-diets all over her cute little shoes.

they're just a couple members short.

(at least they were pretty good sports and let us take a picture even 

though we were totally calling them out)

someday soon . . .

it's dum.

sometimes you just feel like saying it out loud.

magnolia tree at the Dallas Arboretum

because it is.

it's hard to resist the fever.

who have i become? maybe the same person i always was. the new kids on the block fan. the vanilla ice fan. making up routines to marky mark and the funky bunch. i mean, of course i have Bieber fever. who are we kidding?

he's adorable.

the real question is . . .

why did i spend my friday night watching the twilight movies? for that, i really don't see any explanation.

animals that saw me.

driving dog. (it happens in movies)

anvil pub guard dog.

split second relationship.

she doesn't love me.

this dog greets me when no one else is home.

just kidding. but how cute is this face? this was back when we were still building trust.

he did not like my car and wasn't shy about sharing his opinion.

this is every time he sees me.

i was being yelled at.

where is the love?

he says "no way."

a good long stare.

we bonded over pancakes.  seriously.  this gal was chowin' down on a pancake.

i don't know horses but i think that's a smile.

finally, a little mutual attraction.
