Pizza! Pizza!

Oh yes, look how tasty! This pizza was divine! Greasy with all the cheese and pesto sauce, but simply wonderful. Hand tossed crust and fresh ingredients--love it! I do wish the crust was thicker on the bottom and will try to request it next time. Conor wanted to know if it compared to The Pie Pizzeria in SLC, but that place is still one of my favorites and has amazing crust! But for Houston, It may be the best out there. My Dad always taught me that you need to find a good pizza place and burger joint. When we traveled on vacation while growing up, most of our meals and snacks we prepared ourselves to save money. But we would splurge on unique pizza and burger places. So, Conor and I have been on the hunt and am happy to say we've found both! Pink's Pizza and Someburger are both a mile or two from our home in Houston. Yeah!!! But this is not to say we will give up our search--never never! Editor's Note: The signature burger, 'Someburger', was unable to provide a photo due to the quickness and agility with which it was devoured.

My favorite cards in August

I know we're halfway through September (yikes!) but these finally get their deserved attention. I celebrated my 31st (yikes! again) birthday last month and even though I am getting older and I don't feel it. But apparently they put you on some mailing list after you hit 30. I love that they came around my birthday as well. I think it's really a club of people in their 80s and 90s sitting around, looking for young people to prey on. This is how they get their jollies perhaps?

Hands down my favorite was for the pre-paid cremation. That's right folks, a drawing is held every month for an all-expenses-paid cremation! And I could've been the winner! Beltone is offering $800 towards a set of hearing aids. But I missed the boat on that one as you can see it has already expired. I'm hoping if I hold out a few more years, the discount will double! Then again, Grandma Percy doesn't have nice things to say about Beltone. . . The only redeeming thing about all of these is the fact that they're not really to me. They have the name all wrong!!! haha!

This last photo, I just couldn't resist! Conor gave it to me for our anniversary and I just love it! : )

Free is Fabulous!

My mom taught me to me a bargain shopper, clip coupons, and love a good deal. So I can't help but be ecstatic when something free comes along. Even better when it favors both parties!!! When we looked at our home, I despised the rose bushes and evergreen type bush/trees growing in the front. I love flowers and roses, but these didn't even compare to wild roses. Three oversized bushes with the size of mini roses growing on them. They were a pain to weed around and constantly were entangling my hair and clothes. Plus I was getting scratched like crazy. The evergreen tree/bush things were each 8-10 feet tall and just not becoming. Dreading trying to pull all of these out myself and then dispose of them, was a somewhat daunting task. Then I had the brilliant idea while taking pics of items around the house to sell, that I could also post these on Craigslist. I listed them on the Free section and within less than 2 hours I had multiple offers for people to come and take them! Best part is, it was the middle of July and they were digging them up themselves!!! Love it!!! Everyone was happy and I now have a beautiful clear view out my office windows! It opened up the house more, too. We both like the change. Now to figure out how to landscape it. . . . when it cools off a little more we'll get it taken care of! : )
