Ballet 101

First ballet class today! It was advertised as an adult intro class yet some people clearly misinterpreted - intro. I'm talking pink tights and black leotards. Watch out I'm going to be a stellar ballerina in no time! You're all coming to my recital right?

Princess sighting

So I chatted with the Princess today, and she is officially signed up on this thing... so we should be hearing from her anytime now... anytime Princess...!  How bout Dercha...helloooooo!!!   Where are you guys?

You know when you have those treasured "slow" days at work.  Like you have a project to work on, but because you are waiting for some piece of information, you can't proceed to work on anything else.  (or choose not to)  I do love those times, had one today.  lusciousness for lazy people.

Today:   1200 calories (100 from candy), no exercise
Can't wait for:    job transfer- 16 workdays away!    and my puppy... arriving in 9 days!!!!!

I would have exercised but my nephew came over for dinner.  We had a nice dinner and conversation.  It is interesting to find myself interacting on adult terms with this young adult that I only know as a child.  I mostly think of him as 6-8 years old.  Where did that infant, toddler.... child that I knew go?  Like where is he?  So weird.

You guys wanna see my puppy?

happy trails....

Annoying non-texters

I just have to "blog" this because I'm so irritated. When I text someone a question, what would a normal person do? Uh...text back, right? RIGHT! However, my sweet, loving husband (you'll get to know him very well soon) has a friend who does not know how to text!! HELLO!!! It's 2013, not 1995!! Get with the program and use your fingers to respond to my question, which was important by the way. That's fine if you don't want to respond to my "hello" or "have a good day", but when a question is posed a response is expected. If any of you are like me you're going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Let me squash that for you because I know this guy super well and he was not busy, etc... He just does not respond to calls or texts...plain and simple! Again... ANNOYING!!! God love my friend who's married to him for putting up with that! Now that's "blogged" and I feel 10 pounds lighter, I'll go on to say that I love my honey's friend. He's a good guy (who needs to learn to TEXT!). xoxo, Hollywood.

Here's Hollywood

Oi! That's "hello" in Portuguese :) I cannot start off with a "Howdy" like my SWIG friend. Howdy sounds like I just got off my horse and I'm about to walk through a swinging door to sit at the bar in some dark, dusty saloon. Of course, that's my opinion folks. My name is, well, I'm not telling because...um, um, I don't have a good reason. I'll call myself "Hollywood", my grandfather's nickname for me. I also thought about calling myself "Lizzy", which is a nickname I use for one of my cousins. Now you are probably wondering (or not) why I started off with a word in Portuguese. My beautiful mother is from Brazil, and although I was raised in a small town in Texas, I was raised more like a Brazilian. Don't worry, I will post lots more about my childhood and Brazilian roots. I cannot leave out my father's side, which is truly Texan mixed with Polish and German. What a wonderful mix me and my lovely 2 sisters are. I could post all day long about me and my sisters. It's one ridiculous story after the next...I mean that in a good way! We seriously could have a reality show, but who wants that??!! I will be back soon, but for now I need to depart as there is SOOOO much good TV to watch! xoxo, "Hollywood" or "Lizzy"

Well Howdy.

Welcome to Swigerific.  My family calls me Nuey, you can too.  A couple of my gal pals and I are setting out to do a little blogging.  We will mostly be documenting our chatter, there is a LOT of chatter.  I mean, we imagine that people are longing to hear and participate in our chatter.. so we are opening the gates to the wonderful world of swig (sophisticated, witty, intelligent gals).

Okay, so a little more about me.  I am an adult (relatively speaking), have no offspring, in the process of obtaining a dog...  you will meet him soon!  I am married to a foreigner... Russian to be exact.  I like to sew, decorate and organize... my cabinets or yours.  I'm not really good at it, just really enjoy it.  I play women's league tennis in Houston and get real (stupid) competitive.   There is more to know, but you will learn that along the way.  happy trails...
