Welcome to Our Neighborhood

After my whirlwind day in NY, today seemed blah. Kyle had lunch with an Aggie who works in this area. I should leave the explanation to Kyle of what this man does b/c I would probably get it all wrong.

I walked around our neighborhood this afternoon and realized there is not as much excitement on the streets here as there is in NYC. I wasn't on TV today unless you count the retail store's security cameras.

Speaking of stores and our neighborhood, I'll intoduce you to two good friends in our neighborhood called Zara and Rita.

Zara is a clothing store chain on the next block that has just about everything a girl could want. Browsing the racks, it hit me that I seriously need to start working soon (and bringing in the $$) if I want to have any winter clothes. I'm trying to be disciplined.

However "disciplined" isn't really the word for Kyle and I when it comes to a little obsession called Rita's Ice. Which brings us to our second and most important neighborhood friend. Rita's is our favorite hangout. At almost any given evening around 8 PM or so, you are likely to find Kyle and I right around the corner from our apartment happily enjoying a Rita's Ice Misto. What is a Misto? A Misto is a delicious blend of flavored ice and what they call "custard" around here (we decided "custard" is really what us Texans know as frozen yogurt). These Mistos come in different fruity and chocolatey flavors. We are confident that Mistos are laced with addictive drugs because that is the only explanation for the Misto craving that hits us every evening! Now, I'm about to make a serious statement but I have to say I prefer the Misto over the Sonic Cream Slush....if you know about my love for Sonic orange-strawberry cream slushies you know that is one crazy statement...but it's true. Rita's is the best. We just might get one tonight....
