There really isn’t much that beats sitting outside on a porch on a perfect afternoon.
A pleasant way to spend the afternoon

volunteer day
On the last sunny Friday, I was happy to volunteer at Zilker Park with the Entrepreneurs Foundation. It was so nice to spend the day outside using my muscles, rather than sitting inside at my desk. We helped rebuild the steps by the Nature Center. So if you are ever visiting the blind birds, and take a walk down the trail, please watch your step!

The pumpkins are carved, so all we need now is the pumpkin pie! (and some candy of course.) We went with a bat theme this year: bat trio and a cat bat.
A future friend for Marley
For those of you who don’t know, I have a 6-year old Labrador mix named Marley (who I named before the movie “Marley & Me” came out). She is a pretty funny dog who really just wants to love people all the time and is one of the best companions you could have. She also thinks that every dog is her friend so when I found this picture of a Saint Bernard puppy it made me want to get it. Unfortunately, until we move somewhere that is big enough for two full-grown dogs, Marley will just have to wait for her new best friend.

Ping pong fever in Austin
This past Thursday I was privileged enough to take part in my first ever King Pong tournament. For those of you who do not know, King Pong is an agency ping pong tournament that happens once a year in Austin and pits the best pongers from local agencies against each other in a 5-hour long tournament. I love ping pong so I was stoked for this. The whole event was pretty cool, but I was definitely not as hardcore as some of the other players there. I made it through the first round but lost in the second round to one of the guys that founded the event a few years ago. I think that I might need to invest in a ping pong table so that I can start practicing and be fully prepared for next year’s event.
the pumpkin king
We love the pumpkin garden outside of Whole Foods. So many different kinds of pumpkins to conquer. (Real pumpkin king here.)
lucky girl
I know I am a lucky girl to have such a sweet boy. He surprised me with beautiful amaryllis measuring cups. Because he loves me. : )
autumn night
The early nightfall brings back so many memories. Raking leaves. Crisp football game nights. Warm home-ma-made dinners. How cold the inside of a pumpkin is when you are taking out its guts. The delicious smell of the halloween candy bucket, even when there is no candy inside it. My favorite Halloween show. Oh, fall. You are the best.
we need more cowbells
On my last trip back home, we drove up to say hi to the cows. Hello, cows. Please all stand in a line. Good cows.
when in austin: easy tiger
I have a major obsession with baked goods. I could stare (and smell) them all day. I don’t even need to eat them to appreciate them. That is why Easy Tiger is the best. They basically use the bread as art. Bonus points to them because you can watch them baking, and it also tastes as good as it smells.
