So we have a few hurricane Rita evacuees staying with us till everything settles down. Todd’s dad, step-mom, and their huge poodle Louie(see above) have been here since Thursday. It took them almost 24 hours to get here from Houston. Normally it would be about a 9 hour drive. I seriously can’t even imagine.

As for this weekend…
Another Friday night that actually began Friday afternoon. Laura and I set the weekend off early at Jose’s with some girl talk right after we got off work. From there we continued down the street to the Dickson Theatre, where we met up with Cory Branan & friends. The night ended at Maxine’s just before it closed. A fun, but long evening that left me feeling a bit rough on Saturday. I took a bunch of pictures, but here are the few that survived..

Laura and me at the show.. I think there’s one of these pictures of us every time we hang out.

All from Maxine’s (the new JR’s)…
