It was super fun and I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something different. I must admit that it was nice to be around other people who share the same passion as me. All the "nerd speak" was nice ;)

Wildlife adventuring in the city
Last week, I had a chance to go on a photo meet-up with other enthusiasts from Katy (suburb of Houston). I've never done meet ups before so this was a first. I've never really been into those kinds of things. Truth is, I'm a social moron. I feel too much pressure to talk to people & entertain them. I know, pathetic. But my flaws isn't what this post is supposed to be about. Back on topic again, so I went to this meet-up not knowing what to expect. I was just excited to get out of the house and do something different for once. The meet-up took place at a wildlife park called TGR Exotics. The little outdoor cabin-ish type building was where we first started. This is where I meet the unofficial official welcome wagon, a cat named "The Enforcer". I couldn't get enough of the little guy. He was a natural born model and I made sure he got his 15 minutes! From there, we did a 45 minute tour throughout the park and saw lots of cute little fuzzies, from anteaters to kangaroos, it was a delight to my animal lover self :)

No work Monday!
Today didn't turn out the way my typical Mondays are. Usually I'm awake at 6 o'clock, cursing the alarm clock for interrupting my wonderful, wonderful sleep. Then I'm off to work for 8 hours, slaving away for "the man", cursing my inability to win the lottery and not being lucky enough to be a "trust fund kid". Lovely isn't it?
Fortunately, today I got a call from work... they would not be needing me today. *YIPEEE* Cue the pomp and circumstance, ladies and gentlemen, I am a free woman. And what does a free woman do on a Monday? Why she aimlessly walks around Wal-Mart and Bed, Bath, & Beyond with no intention of buying anything... pathetic, yes. But in hindsight, it kept me from holing myself up in front of the tv and computer, so it was a win-win situation.
Plus, it's always that much nicer knowing that I'm not working today while the rest of the world is. Now that's some sweet sugar.
