February 12 of 12

Oh boy, I'm on a roll! Two months in a row! New to 12 of 12? Visit Chad Darnell for all the info.


Let's get started!




10:15am
Took a lovely trip to Sprawl-mart to pick up a tape adapter for my newly replaced iPod. It IS possible to get in and out in less than 10 minutes, but you have to be willing to shove a few old ladies out of the way.



10:30am
There goes my gym... I should really be stopping off there... I know they miss me.



10:40am
Yet another stop on my list of errands-- the library. This is the view from the parking lot. I love living in a place with scenery like this.



1:00pm
Just finished up my Rotary meeting and decided to get this shot. We meet in a room right on the lake, so the view is great and I've always meant to take a picture of it!



1:45pm
Driving into Austin enjoying my iPod. Yes, my truck is always this full of crap. I tend to pack up my life and move into Austin 3 days at a time each week.



2:00pm
Yep, construction on 71. Big shocker. This time it sucks really hard, though. The speed limit is 45!!



5:30pm
After a long slow drive down 71 and 2 stops in an effort to find a dress for a friend's wedding, I arrive at Parrothead Happy Hour! The 2nd Thursday of every month we meet and have a great time. This is the new t-shirt, modeled by our lovely Head Phruitcake, Robin!



6:00pm
The crawfish are in!! The excitement was palpable among the tables... we devoured several pounds of crawfish over the night. I can smell it right now. Yum!!



6:30pm
Not everyone chowed down on mudbugs Thursday night. Ric opted for a big ol' cheeseburger. Love this shot of him cramming in a bite!



Much later...
Ric also opted for a new delivery method for his beer. Totally not my idea. And besides, Emily started it!!



Even later...
There was a good reason for the extreme debauchery and the late night. Dennis came home from Afghanistan!!



I think this was still the 12th...
The final shot of the evening. Dennis and our favorite waitress Jennifer. She does such a good job of taking care of us! One waitress and sometimes upwards of 20 Parrotheads at a time... she's good!

Crawdads... yum, yum. Just got back last week from New Orleans, so I still got the taste fresh in my memory.

You serve me beer like that, I would end up nursing my drink all night. ;)

Nice 12... I'll be looking for more next month.

Hee - interesting way to drink a beer, but I'm sure fun for the guys (and I'm sure the "beer mat girls" got a giggle too!). Marble Falls looks pretty - well done for remembering month 2 of 12 of 12, see you next time!

Sorry I'm behind on commenting - I got distracted towards the end of participants, then thought I had finished, then realised not...
