I did it again! JP had a late flight into San Antonio and since Lily ditched me for the weekend to go camping with her grandparents I had a chance to wear a costume to the airport when I picked him up. I wonder if this will ever get old to him. Among a ton [...]

I’ve told you guys that sometimes when I pick JP up from the airport I wear a costume. It all started when we were dating long distance and he would come to visit. I wanted to do something different and exciting. What could be more exciting than standing in an airport full of people waiting [...]

Sometimes when Lily gets bored she asks me if she can go in my bathroom and play with my makeup. I only say yes half of the time and she is always so excited when I say yes. I was doing some stuff to get ready for our trip when she came out of my [...]

One of my favorite things about JP is that I am constantly learning from him.  He has taught me a lot about collectible things. I was going through a pile of papers and I stumbled upon a huge stack of old Santa photos. Based on the dates on some of them and what the children [...]

The entire time I have lived in San Antonio I have heard people talk about Wurstfest every November. I guess I always kinda assumed German festivals would be in September/October because of Oktoberfest but this one isn’t. You can read the history of this festival if you click HERE. As you already know I am [...]

As I was getting ready for my softball game today I realized that it is the day before Halloween and I should be wearing a costume of some sort. I had zero time to plan for this one but this is the best I could come up with for a costume and still be able to [...]

After not seeing JP for like 17 days both Lily and I  missed him a lot! Since all of us have been out of town and eating in restaurants and other peoples homes I figured instead of going out to dinner after we picked him up from the airport eating at home would be a [...]

Every once in awhile something happens. I can’t really explain it. And I don’t usually know that it is happening. Then the sun sets and as I lay snug in my bed a thought occurs to me. I DIDN’T TAKE A PICTURE OF ANYTHING TODAY! In my head I recapped my day and I totally did things [...]

JP has been out in California all week for work. Do you remember what I did back on October 18th? If you have been reading this website for awhile you know that I have done this more than a few times. I have never worn the same costume twice so in order to keep up the tradition [...]

We went to a production today at Lily’s school. I can’t remember the exact title of it but it was a mix of three different Dr. Seuss stories and they sang and danced to music. Pretty cute if you ask me! Do you see Lily? See how much taller she is than the other kids? That’s [...]

I have never really been a big fan of apples but today at work when I was thinking about what to make for dinner apples came to mind. I started googleing and I came up with Apple Stuffed Pork Chops. These are the basic ingredients. Once everything is all chopped up and put in the [...]

It is no secret that I love to wear costumes and I do every chance that I get. Since I was picking up JP at the airport today I decided it was a chance to dress up again! JFG, Inc. stands for John’s Fantasy Girl, Inc.

I told JP and Lily earlier this year that as soon as they start advertising Six Flags season passes as “buy for 2011 and get the rest of 2010 for free” I was all over it. Like a week ago they started advertising for Fright Feast so we bought season passes. The park is less [...]
