bring it back

Ok, so I've bit the bullet and ressurected this bad boy. I suppose it's about time I had a full-fledged blog to entertain my public. I'm sure you are all dying to know about my (not so) exciting life. In case you can't read between the lines, previous sentences are dripping in sarcasm.

I'm still stuck in London. The weather is HOT and as the British public have never heard of air-conditioning, I am sweltering. You might think, Katy! You are from Texas! You should be used to the heat. Well, let me set the record straight. In Houston, you do not leave your air-conditioned dwelling unless you have an air-conditioned vehicle to take you to your air-conditioned destination. I am frequently asked how my friends and I cope during the summer season. The answer is WE WAIT UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN. When it's 100 F outside with 100% humidity, you learn to stay indoors. And that is not an option here, because a) I don't have a car and b) I DON'T HAVE A CAR. So I have to hotfoot it anywhere I want to go. And within five minutes I am dripping sweat like an evangelical congregation.

But all is not lost. I leave on the 28th for three days in Paris and then we fly into Houston on the 3rd! Just in time for the 4th of July festivities. I'm so ready for the three B's: BBQ, Booze and Booty. We'll have to see how the last one works out, but the first two are definitely a go. Brisket and beer will keep me satisfied.
