Poshdeluxe

hey guys, thanks for massaging my xanga ego with all those lurvely
comments (and even though some of you commented more than once, it
still counts. obviously). i think writing about buffy was key, since it
seemed to spark a bit of controversy and discussion. i mean, i’m sure
if i just let that post sit there, i could hit 30 comments again.

but i won’t, cos i’m ridiculously addicted to writing on this damn
thing. and honestly it’s not about the comments. it’s… i dunno. i do
this because i enjoy communicating; i like the *exchange*; i care about
the details of my friends’ lives… even the ordinary things. also i
like abusing semicolons.

so anyway

the other key to generating lots of comments is PHOTOS (i’ve learned
this from ben’s and jeff’s site as well). and speaking of jeff, no, i’m
not that tall in real life (i’m standing on the curb in the second
picture). i mean, my mom’s short but not THAT short. although she is
pretty small. wait until you see this picture of her i’m going to post
in a minute.

so you may recall (or maybe not) that, for my birthday weekend, the
rents and i stayed at this SUPER CHARMING bed & breakfast in the
hill country near new braunfels. it’s called aunt nora’s B&B.
and i adore it. my mom and dad had recently purchased a digital camera
(is it sad that my parents are ahead of me technologically?), and so we
took lots of fun pictures. but then i had to wait WEEKS and WEEKS for
my dad to figure out how to upload them onto the computer and the
internet.

however, he *was* training for the MS150, so i guess i should cut him some slack. eh.

anyway, he sent me the photos yesterday, so i’ve picked my favorite
ones to show you. you can tell that i took these pictures, cos several
of them feature food. and only food. no people. just the pure beauty of
tasty morsels that were fed to us in the morning by the b&b owners.
oh sweet ecstacy.

ok so here’s the main house:

we stayed on the second floor of the house next door. check out the view when walking down the steps:

and here’s the sweet little gazebo (required for all B&Bs)– i heart the cactus!!

i may have mentioned the cute little hobbit room i got to sleep in. it
was perfect perfect perfect for me. i felt like a character in a
children’s book… you know, when the illustrated house in the book is
one room with just a bed and a lamp and a window. see what i mean:

check out the decor in my parents’ room. this pretty much sums up the feel of the place:

here’s the view from my hobbit room (i don’t know why but i really like this photo):

don’t you want to stay here?! no? well, mr. doubting pants, check out some of the stuff we had for breakfast!!!

fruit tarts…

[and these are pictures of REAL food, not like in magazines when they
use glue for milk and shit like that. so that is real cream. not glue.
just so you know]

and cobbler. yes, cobbler with ice cream. the nice lady that ran the
B&B believed in serving dessert at the end of breakfast. no really,
she did. and that’s why this place was SO AWESOME. i’m going to do that
too, when i have a family. until we all get really fat and succumb to
diabetes.

wow, this post already features TWO pictures of WONDEROUS food. i figure i can make 50 comments, easy.

hmm. well maybe everyone isn’t as food-excitable as me.

anyway here’s a pretty picture of the lake nearby:

mainly i posted that picture to introduce this next one. notice how
windy it is in the photo above…. several times i thought it would
knock me over. so i made my mom pretend like she was holding onto a
tree for dear life. i don’t know why she agreed. but she did. how my
parents put up with my weirdness, i don’t know. but they do. which
explains why i’m still weird. so anywhere here is my cute little mom
(her name is sue by the way. perfect!):

sue, hold on! don’t let go!

oh man. i love my mom. and my dad too (see previous post). they are
superstars. and they let me take pictures of food with their digital
camera. so i can post them here and make myself hungry and bore you
guys to death.
