| Well, this will be my last blog from Houston (how sad). I've been packing all day - tomorrow will be cleaning day. And then Sunday we're leaving this place! It was my last day at work yesterday, which was exciting and sad at the same time. I can't believe it's over already, I hope I've learned enough here, but I feel like other people learn alot more on their externships than what I learned on mine. Oh well, too late now!
I remember the first day we got here and how this apartment felt so empty and weird. And now it seems so different. I always get nostalgic when I have to leave someplace I've been for a while, or I end a part of my life and move on to something else. I wonder what I'll think of this experience years down the road. I'll probably only remember the good stuff here - like the SUPER good sushi that is just 5 minutes down the road, the dollar movie rentals, the great weather, and nice southern attitude people have here.. and not the cockroach that nearly killed me.
Tomorrow we have to return our cable box - which feeds our internet, tv, and digital phone. Therefore I will fall off the face of the earth from tomorrow evening until Sunday evening - when I get to Florida. Susan and I already planned to rent a movie and get sushi tomorrow night since we'll have nothing to do without our cable... it's crazy, I really can't live without those three things, it leaves me with NOTHING to do. How sad is my life. When we both realized that we'd have to return our stuff and go one night without internet, tv, or phone - we were like... so what are we going to do with ourselves?.. we're going to die!
So I have long day of cleaning tomorrow, and then it's goodbye to Houston (for three days) - and then REALLY goodbye to Houston forever.

| Right now I'm in San Antonio - at a cute little hotel place that actually looks like a mexican resort - they even have a little tiki bar and an outdoor movie screen by the pool where they play movies every night - we can see the large screen from our room. We walked around all day today and did all the sight seeing already, most things are closed for Thanksgiving so there wasn't as much to see. It's only 6:30pm and we're already tired and ready to retire for the night! We're just gonna try and order pizza delivery and watch Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy from our hotel room haha. Except we're having trouble finding pizza places open today - how ridiculous - I hate when things are not open on a holiday - some things should always be open - like pizza places, blockbuster, gas stations, grocery stores.
I thought we'd be out downtown or something seeing the city but frankly my feet are tired and I feel like I've seen as much as there is to see. I always feel guilty when I go on trips and I just watch tv or do normal stuff because it seems like a waste - but I think I should just do what I want! It's like when you go to restaurants and some ppl pressure you to get stuff on the menu that you can't make yourself - or they judge you if you do get something easy to make - but I think just get whatever you feel like eating! Who cares if you could make it too - what you want to eat is what will make you happiest. Tomorrow we go to SeaWorld to see Shamu! I just realized today that Shamu is a scam - because Shamu is at every SeaWorld ... so it's not really Shamu. I used to think Shamu was only at the Florida SeaWorld or something. But apparently it's at all of them - how tricky of them.

| Oh me... I lost my credit card today. I'm so annoyed with myself - i'm the most annoying person in the world - I lose my credit card about once every 4 mths. But most times i find it within a couple of hours... this time I can't.. so I had to make a bunch of calls to cancel the card, and also to cancel a bunch of pre-authorized payments. The good thing is no one had used my card, and they can rush me a new card in 2-3 business days (after I begged and begged). Usually after I lose my credit card (or have a scare) I'll be really careful with it afterwards - but you know how it
is, that wears off with time and I go back to being careless again.
In spite of that, today I have found the perfect combination for a sandwich... proscuitto, pepper jack cheese, baby spinach, and tomato on whole wheat bread. Yum, I've never eaten a yummier sandwich in my life - for real, in my ENTIRE life.
And I love "welcome to the black parade" - what a great song. The drums are really cool near the end of the song, I think overall the song is pretty genius.

. My new favorite Christmas compilation is "A Winter's Night" - which includes songs by Ron Sexsmith, The Weepies, Sixpence, etc. so it's a pretty mellow album, but it's really good! And I should also recommend the Toffee Nut Latte at Starbucks - yum! The Peppermint Mocha was a bit of a disapointment - try at your own risk.
