1. BRACES ~ I was told in July/August that I would be getting my braces off in November. Yay, I'm in the home stretch, right? WRONG!! I went for my regular check-up last week, thinking "I only have one more month of this nonsense", and my orthodontist tells me I'm going to be wearing them for 6 more months!!! What!?! I mean, I could understand a few extra weeks, but 6 more MONTHS. Yeah, good guessing there Doc. Sheesh...so one more holiday season of "brace face" and "metal mouth"...darn it! I'm sure in a few years, I'll look back on this and laugh. But, right now, my mouth just hurts too much :(
2. Fall TV season ~ I set the TIVO to record all the new "buzz" shows, including Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money, Big Shots, Rules of Engagement, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, etc. to see if I'd be adding a new show to my already scheduled line-up of The Office and Survivor. I needed a new show, since American Idol and Lost aren't coming on until the Spring, and Grey's Anatomy has become such rubbish (sorry to you Grey's lovers). Well, I was NOT impressed with any of these. Some of them were entertaining, but does every show have to be about how "fast you can get laid" and "how many people can we have an affair with"? Good grief!! And "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" was not near as funny as Travis, Katie, Beck, and Hayley made it out to be (sorry guys). But amidst the same old cliche shows...but one has surprisingly emerged as a definiete contender... "Pushing Daisies". It's great!! After only 2 episodes, I'm sold!! It's unique, witty, whimsical with a little make-believe thrown in...my kind of show. Everyone should give it a shot. I must warn you though, it's the kind of show that you either HATE or LOVE...not really in between. Let me know what you think.
3. RUDY's BBQ ~ this was the first restaurant that Andrew ever took me to. Although, it was during the first phase of our relationship when we were "just friends", it holds good memories. So, Rudy's can mostly be found in Austin and San Antonio, and there's one in College Station. But to our excitement, they have built one just around the corner from us...the first one in Houston is basically at our back door. Yiippeee!! You would think that Houston, TX would offer a better BBQ selection, but there's really not any good ones in our area. So, the grand opening was 2 weeks ago. We tried SIX times to go eat there, and with no luck. The line was always out the door, and we were just too hungry to wait. In fact the first time we had it was last Sat. when my brother bought a bunch of it for the OU-Texas game (Boomer!!) at his place. Soo good! I love their cream corn and chopped beef. Since then, we were finally successful at eating at the actual restaurant, although that now makes the score 1 out of 9 tries. That's a good sign though :)
Wow, that was a bunch of summing up!!

Aw what a big let down. The dentist did it the wrong way - they should tell you that you have 6 more months when in reality you have 1 more month. I can understand the disappointment, although I think you look really cute with your braces!
Mmmm...bbq sounds SO good. I can't wait to eat brisket again. Guess we'll have to try out that restaurant!
you're nuts. It's Always Sunny is the best show ever. Have a couple drinks and watch it and THEN tell me what you think!
Pushing Daisies is awesome.
