Rodeo Queen

I went to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo twice already, once with Kae and once alone. It's incredibly fun! I think Niki and I are going to try and go back this weekend to take the kids to the carnival.There's a HUGE shopping area, a livestock show, a rodeo and horse show, concerts, a carnival and a crap ton of food!

Like I could resist!!
The first weekend Katie and I went and just browsed around the shopping area. There's so much to see it's fun to just look. Last weekend I took myself back to watch the ranching competition. Multiple ranches (seven in this case) come as teams and compete against one another in various events. It was completely entertaining and I loved it! I was a little late (Houston traffic and all) so I missed some. But I'll be going back next year.

Afterwards I browsed through the cows at the livestock show for a few hours. Like, 2. Really. I love cows. I have always wanted a cow as a pet. Besides, I bought myself a margarita and it was so strong I needed to walk it off!

After that I browsed the shopping again. Then my feet were exhausted, so I headed outside to choose one of the hundreds of places to eat, got some killer BBQ and yet another margarita, then headed home.


Shirt I found for Abi at Cupcake Photography
Boot Display!!

Very strong margaritas! YUM!
Potato stuffed with BBQ. Delish!
I have to tell you- it was a blast! I am by far the best date I have ever been on. :)

All About Ashley

Spring, TX, Southern, United States
Playing with and keeping up with my nephew and niece take up a lot of my time. Van Geaux takes up the rest of it. Work is an afterthought most days! I like to be outside- but not when it's too hot. I get bored at my desk all day. Niki keeps my world spinning and without her and AC I'd lose it. My work ethic crashes at 4 p.m. daily and I live my sweet puppy and my hedgehog whenever I am not at Niki's. I truly believe naps are quality pass-time events, and sometimes I say bad words at work. I'm pretty sure I'm insane on multiple levels and I believe rules don't apply to me.
It seems that my life is quite entertaining. I didn't realize this myself, but was informed of it by my friends- who are rather entertained by tales of my life occurrences.

I'm far from a professional writer. These are just stories, comments, and other items for simple amusement. Hopefully it's a fun read, as Shannon plans to edit it into a book one day! Maybe we'll become famous, and maybe we'll just have some good laughs at my expense (and some other characters in my life). Either way, happy reading!
