Today was our last day on Padre Island. We started this morning by heading down to the beach for a few hours. Then it was time to go. This is the part we all dread and no one is happy to leave the beach. JP made sure the truck was packed and we were off. [...]

We are just now leaving Padre Island. This is by far the warmest temperature we have seen all year! The truck was parked on the shade when we took it!

It all started at 6:45 am.  Lily loves to wake early, even when we are on vacation! We were up so early that the restaurant in the hotel was not even open yet so we went for a walk on the beach. I told Lily that normal people are still asleep right now, she didn’t [...]

After spending a ton of time at the beach we decided we were hungry. I suggested we go to dinner at one of the restaurants down by the dwarf. JP had no idea what I was talking about….. its a wharf.. not a dwarf! I don’t think I will ever live that one down. JP, [...]

Today Lily, JP and I all put our toes in the sand! There is a country song called “Toes” that is what we did today! “Toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, cold beer in my hand, life is good today”

Here is a picture of Lily and I waiting patiently! Ok maybe not so patiently for JP to say it’s time to go!

Tomorrow we are heading down to the Gulf of Mexico for a beachy Memorial Day weekend! Lily is all packed and ready to go!

I am sure that by now everyone knows about the oil that is shooting into the Gulf of Mexico. I told Lily about the oil spill today and we wanted to find pictures of the animals that are being affected. Sadly here is a pretty good example of what BP is doing to the gulf coast. [...]

Today we were in line at the grocery store. I was talking to the girl ringing up our grocerys and Lily was talking to the girl working in the next isle. Lily said “I like your pin” the girl said “Thank you” Lily said “Where did you get it?” the girl said “From my boss, [...]

Just like me Lily likes to ask questions, lots of questions. She knows when you drive a stick shift you move it from the one to the two and so on. This week we are driving a rental car. She looked at the shifter and asked why I didn’t have to move it as often [...]

When I make dinner I have been trying to make an effort to try cooking different things. Today the different thing was the rainbow noodles that Lily picked out. Lily really wanted to separate them by color but I told her that was to much work! We saw some other bowtie noodles at the store that are rainbows. Each [...]

Although we have seen them lots of times we still get excited when they show up. This is the first thing JP and I noticed when we pulled up at home today. Here is a picture of me and said lizard while I was on the phone with Bob. Sorry Bob but this posting should explain [...]

I have nothing to post today.. oh and this is not the toilet.

So many thing I could say right now. It was so innocent at first. One thing on my mind… BREAKFAST TACOS!  Nothing would make up for the fact that I crashed JP’s porsche today… nothing. I am not even sure that he believes me yet. Poor JP. I seriously thought I was going to die [...]

This green flowery sundress is one of my favorites! It reminds me of Hawaii or something like that. A little fact about me: I own over 30 sundresses. I think this picture below is way awesome. Although it looks like I am taking it I am not!

Lily and I bought a game on the Wii Shopping Network today. 100 points for anyone that can tell me exactly what game this is and what consol it was originally played on.

On Thursday the school called to tell me that Lily has a fever. JP went to the school and picked her up for me. Then today he stayed home all day with her. Imagine my surprise when he sent me this picture via text. He said they went to the bank and then to McDonalds. Oh [...]

I saw this candy wrapper at work today and it totally took me back to when I was a kid. I remember going to Central School and when school was over we would walk across the street to a little convient store named Roy’s Food Town and buy candy. I remember the penny candy was [...]

Every Saturday I paint Lily’s finger and toe nails. If it were up to her every single nail would be a different color but I usually limit her to two to four colors. After I paint them I usually put some little design like polka dots or squiggly lines on them like I do on [...]

It is a typical Tuesday so we were out playing softball. Today we won 10-9 making us the #2 seed in next weeks single elimination playoffs. Go Half-Nutz! These are my two biggest fans JP and Amanda! Me, Amanda & Cathy. I got the worst injury of my Half-Nutz carrier. I don’t think this picture does [...]

After work today I went to get  my hair cut at Salon Desires on Blanco Rd. I will totally admit that I have been pulling gray hairs out for a couple years now. JP always gives me a hard time about it telling me leave them alone. Today my stylist mentioned them and I asked her [...]

Check out the awesome pair of heels JP bought me today! They make me like 6 feet tall! Ever since I moved here me and JP have been talking about having a prickly pear martini. Does anyone that is not from San Antonio know what a prickly pear is? I sure didn’t until they told me. [...]

Today we spent most of the day in the pool. Last night we forgot to turn the heater off so the pool temp was sitting around 97! Floating around was really the only option. It did rain for a little while but the rain felt good splashing us compared to the warm water. In the [...]

I woke up this morning around 10am to Lily’s voice. She was saying “Auntie Amanda said if you don’t wake up you don’t get to eat breakfast”. I could instantly smell it… YUM! She made me my favorite, soft-boiled eggs, bacon, and toast…. and COOKIES! Is this not the cutest egg cup you have ever [...]

Amanda is one of the best cooks I know. She can’t just cook, she makes the food look pretty too! I have been eating her cooking for over 13 years and loving it! For a long time now… like seriously for like 10+ years, and like 50+ times asking,  I have been telling her to teach me how [...]

When we pulled up to the house today I noticed these flowers growing on a tree in the front yard. I have no idea what they are but they are beautiful! They are growing upside down on the tree like that. While me and Amanda were admiring the flowers Lily found a snail. And another And [...]

Today is my bff Amanda’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA! This is the first time in the history of my website that I have had a chance to take a happy birthday sign picture and actually have the person hold their own sign! In classic Daisy style we all put on costumes and took Amanda out [...]

This is just way to cute not to share. This morning I gave Lily money so that she could buy some books at the book fair at her school. After I picked her up from school we were in the truck and I asked her what books she bought. She pulled her books out and the [...]

Amanda spotted a rainbow in our backyard tonight! I have prepared myself to stop smoking for awhile now. Being so sick earlier this week I realized on Tuesday that I had not smoked in two days. I hear that the first few days are the hardest. I only had one breakdown today and when it was [...]

Did someone tell me it was Stephanie’s Birthday? Why yes, yes it is! I drug myself out of bed to get on with my normal life and brought my Stephanie sign with me! We lost 12-15…. YIKES!   Me and Cathy say “Happy Birthday!”! The umpire that let us down… Javier, oh and Me and [...]

Today was an ugly day for Daisy Poo so no pictures were taken. Trust me… you do not want to know what she was doing all day Monday and Tuesday! We are truly trying to figure out who poisioned Daisy and Steve… seriously they were both on their death bed. JP made a joke about our [...]

Even though I was not feeling well I woke up to a delicious breakfast this morning thanks to Amanda, Stephanie and Lily! Then it was present time. Me and the reason I get to celebrate Mother’s Day. Lily and JP bought me a Dooney & Bourke. They also got me an awesome purple Marc Jacobs wallet. Both [...]

Mothers Day is the best! Amanda did not believe me when I told her I was going to publish this photo!

Today we all went down to the San Antonio riverwalk. Dinner at Casa Rio my ultimate favorite restaurant on the river!

I taught Amanda and Stephanie about Origins skin care today!

I have a lot of things I can post about… for now this will have to do. Yes, that IS me as Stewie! And Lily as Stewie!

I told Stephanie that someone told me that the golden fruit growing on the trees in the backyard was edible. She immediately grabbed one and took a bite. Cathy told us what it is called and we can’t remember what she said but we think it was “Gyabba”?. She said that was the spanish word for [...]

It has been a harrowing journey behind enemy lines… Many good men have fallen… But Truth, Justice, and the American Way must prevail! Here is the entrance to Dr. Evil’s lair: And here us the most excellent JPmobile… Less than 1000 miles and a free upgrade (must thank those guys working in the top secret [...]

With ridiculous amounts of excitment I went to the airport today! Amanda, Amanda, Amanda!!! We went for a swim! Thank you to the San Antonio sun for warming up my friends from the North! Guess Who?

Back on Feburary 2nd of this year I bought the most candy I had ever bought at any one time in my life… until today! I had to pick up candy for a work thing next week so we headed to Costco. The picture doesn’t do a very good job of showing just how much is in there but just keep in mind that [...]

After tonight we are still undefeated! We won 5-3! We are the only team in the league with a perfect record.  This is the best record HalfNutz has ever had! Today was Liz’s birthday so after the game we went to Tycoon Flats. Happy Birthday Liz! Wanna be MVP Jan and Captain Marv… sometimes they just get confused! [...]

When I got home tonight this was on my door… YIKES! How many people do I claim?  I should claim 57.. that’s only if you count the house plants.

I have been to the airport in San Antonio many many times. Most of the time I have been on my way to Seattle,  but I have also flown out of San Antonio and headed to Chicago and San Diego. And a bunch of times I have been to the San Antonio airport to pick up visitors! Those are the [...]

I love staying in hotels. I mean I really really really love staying in hotels. Last night we had a room at the Grand Hyatt in downtown San Antonio. There is a walking trail directly from the hotel to The Alamo Dome where we went to the concert. So I love hotels and I love eating breakfast in [...]

Daisy and JP are off to see George Strait (and Reba and Leanne Womack and the Randy Rogers Band)… Daisy claims she is only going to see Reba… but we all know better! (posted by JP) This is the view from our hotel room!

Back on March 29th (The Sad Palm Tree) I wrote about the palm tree that we thought was dying in our backyard. If you look back at the old posting and then look to the bottom left of the first picture you will see the dead baby palm tree in the planter that I didn’t mention. [...]
