sage in bloom is like perfume

The Houston Apartment Search 2007 started off with a bang or maybe it was a yawn. Yeah, it was most definitely a yawn at 4:00 am. I did however get my BK Mocha Joe after stopping at the third (yes, 1..2..3) Burger King. They open at 6, not 5, not 5:30, but 6. Just in case anybody is every up that early in the history of mankind.

Mom's NASA visit turned out to be a little embarrassing. She could not leave that place without having a poster, sticker, patch, and a medallion. I felt like the hillbilly's coming to the big city. Especially when we made our entrance to the valet. I was so in awe that I forgot to put the car in park.

Friday night we took in an Astros game. Thanks Burd. I think my nose is still bleeding.

I now have a new crush. Her name is Candace. I have actually met this one unlike the others in the past. She works at the Ventana at Midtown, an apartment we almost signed on because of her. Ok not really, well maybe a little. I wanted to sign there so she'd have my phone number, I didn't care if she had a ring on her finger. Mom said she lacked a personality, I said she didn't need one.

The hotel we were in all weekend was nothing less than hair-raising, heart-stirring, and spine-tingling. I like how all those words have a hyphen. The elevators took my stomach away every time we went down. I'd curse when some other floor delayed our decent. Cursing also occurred when I saw that my one waffle for breakfast was $11.25. L'Eggo my wallet.

After everything was said and done, I'm the proud owner of the coolest loft in Houston, Texas. Thanks to everyone who wished me good luck, only y'all can come visit, no others. Do they use y'all in Texas? They don't drink sweet tea. Wimps.

Get ready Houston, Matt's coming to town.

Tomorrow is the Houston Apartment Search 2007 trip. I've never been so excited in my life. Except that year Santa Claus brought me the Ninja Turtles Nintendo game. I think I'm going to make t-shirts for this event. We get to wake up super early in the morning, more than likely I'll be a huge grouch. If I could just get a BK Mocha Joe from Burger King I'd cheer up. My first experience with one was on the Florida State trip and happened to receive it by accident. Stupid drive through lady. Now I'm addicted, so good.

Lately Curb Your Enthusiasm has been coming on HBO a lot. This show makes me laugh. I want to meet Larry David.

Yesterday I washed my car/suv/truck. Wow, it looks good. Almost as good as the day I bought it, but not quite. Dakoda put a few scratches in it, I'm not a happy camper about that. Anyways, I figured I'd wash it before the trip to the really nice hotel. Don't want the valet giving me funny looks. I've never used one before. Small Town, Mississippi doesn't offer too many services in that category. I'll be sure to move the seat really close and turn the volume up.

My blog is worth $6,774.48.
How much is your blog worth?

Thanks to Intermission at Work for the awesome site that gave me a random figure which I was actually happy with. Starting today I'm going to have an auction for my blog, with the starting bid being that number.

For the first time ever I used the home key. It felt great to finally take full advantage of my keyboard. I'll probably never use it again.

P.S. I'll be gone till Monday, so don't come back till then. I might take my computer, I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking about now. Wish me luck.
