We lived through night #1 of the road trip! The plan was to walk around, buy a couple souvenirs and get at least half of the rest of the way to Florida. First we played around by the statues. Then we went out to lunch. I have never tasted crawfish as good as these guys [...]
Today was a sad day for South Texas but the very beginning of an awesome long weekend for Angela and I. I took us about 8 hours after leaving San Antonio to hit New Orleans. We had a hotel room at the beginning of the famed Bourbon Street. I pulled this information straight from wikipedia. “Though [...]
In the past I have told you guys a lot about my softball teams. I post a lot of team pictures but I never really post any action shots. If action shots are what you have been waiting for today is your lucky day! We have played our asses off every week for the last 6 [...]
Today we went to La Cantera and walked around. I checked out the new spring line of Coach purses. I drooled over the ridiculous amount of sundresses in stock (I need to start sundress season again soon). I tried on like a million different pairs of sunglasses. For the last month or so I have [...]
We had our 4th game of the season today. After tonights game we are 3-1! This is what it looks like inside our dugout sometimes. And here we are right after the game. Here we are making fun of the goofiest super hero lovin person we know. And just hangin cause that’s what we do. [...]
I played in a couple softball games today but I totally slacked on the picture taking. Here are some the cupcakes that I brought to the game with me. Yes, they are from Target! Like I said I snapped less than 10 pictures today. Here is Jimmy at 3rd. Michael telling us how it should be. [...]
Today I played in a softball tournament at Jefferson High School. Just yesterday we had a snow day and now today we are playing softball in 70º weather. Only in San Antonio! Here is our team The Charros. If you have ever watched East Bound & Down our team name will make you laugh! Here [...]
Today Lily had her two best friends Adeline and Cameron over for a Valentine Themed sleep-over. I pre-planned a few things to make sure they would have lots of fun. I told them they were all my Valentines. I have mentioned that I love Department 56 stuff. Remember my posting about the Snowbabies and about [...]
Today I went with a group of friends to a studio named “Painting with a Twist“. Basically you bring a bottle of wine or champagne and your friends and you learn how to paint a painting. The instructor stands in the front of the room and step by step shows you how to paint the painting. [...]
When it snows you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels – Author Unknown I think that most of you know that I was born and raised in Michigan. Every once in awhile there are things I miss about it. Snow is NOT one of them. There was a huge snow storm last night [...]
We had another beautiful day here in San Antonio today so JP and I headed outside to get some stuff done. For obvious reasons we haven’t paid any attention to the pool for the last few months and it needs a little bit of help. While JP tried to get the prime back in the pump and [...]
Today I went to pick up next seasons softball shirts for our team. We start this Sunday!! Our team name this season is “Not Them Again”. After I picked them up I took a picture and posted it on facebook with a caption that said “For they said we shall be Sapphire”. Our short stop Jimmy [...]
Our friend Angela came over for dinner today and brought her dog Cheeky with her. While I was making dinner they made the cookies. Here is Lily trying to decide how to ice them. Here is the one that I decorated! Then we played a couple games of Pictureka. After that I went upstairs and grabed [...]
If you love to shop then next time you are in San Antonio make sure to ask me to take you to The Shops at La Cantera. It is an outdoor shopping mall with pretty much every store you can think of inside of it. When I go there I usually park at Macys but today I had [...]
Me and JP headed down to Fatso’s Sports Garden to watch the Seattle Seahawks vrs Chicago Bears game today. Although its kinda far from our house we chose Fatso’s because that is where the passionate fans hang out. When we walked into the bar the entire bar… literally THE ENTIRE BAR started hooting and hollering [...]
We went to a football party at a friend of ours house. They said there would be lots of food so we decided to bring a desert. The Seahawks don’t actually play until tomorrow but its never to soon to celebrate. Seattle Seahawks Cake! What do you think? Erin says cheese! Sometimes I wonder why [...]
At my work we have an employee club that does different things throughout the year to boost employee moral and make work a little bit more exciting. The name of our employee club is “Social Stag” because our company logo is a stag. I have an officer position so I am pretty heavily involved with what [...]
My friend Angela came over for dinner today and she brough Cheeky with her. She is so uhhh.. cute. She is a Yorkie and Chihuahua mix. Do you love her sweater? She is the most photogenic little thing we have seen in awhile. I am not 100% sure what it is. The only thing I [...]
I have written before about how much I like it when people send me their pictures. This is one that my friend Angela sent me of her and some friends skiing in the mountains of Vermont. Love it!
I have been picking my brain for what picture to take and add to my final post of 2010. I can’t come up with anything so I decided to take it in a different direction. 2010 was a big year for me. I went through a lot of changes and I learned a lot this year. I also [...]
We had another beautiful day in San Antonio today. 75º and sunny. There is no better reason to bbq than that. Here is our ribeye and seasoning of choice. Lily is having a sleep over with her friend Cameron who we adore. Right before dinner was ready I decided to make them extra special Shirley Temple’s. [...]
I had this idea a few weeks ago and on Christmas Eve I set it into motion. I emailed pretty much everyone in my address book and posted on my facebook asking people to send me a picture that they took this Christmas. Thanks to everyone who helped make this posting possible! I am not [...]
When we woke up the temperature had dropped to about 32º outside. So we started the day with a big breakfast at Phoenix Cafe. After breakfast we went to visit a few people and then we ended up at my childhood home. This is the porch swing that I have talked about before. Later on [...]
Today me and a few of my friends went out for drinks. Here is Saher, Me and Angela. I am not sure what is happening in this picture? Bottoms up! Judy and Joey showin some love!
We ended our season today with a bang. If you make it to week 7 that means you are in the playoffs. We were the #3 or #4 seed. What would be better than a bunch of Ninja Turdles in Ninja Turtle masks? Here is Jan and Levi. Jason and Jimmy. Lanae. Cathy. Mel & [...]
On my drive home today I saw a rainbow. Here in San Antonio they just passed a law about texting and driving.. but they never said anything about taking pictures and driving. Imagine my disapointment when I realized you can’t really see the rainbow in the picture. Can you see it? JP is out of [...]
Estos son mis amigos, Cesar y Diana. Estan vistidos como los legendarios artistas Mexicanos: El Chavo y La Chilindrina. Aun con la explicacion des sus trajes, no los conocimos…al fin de todo somos gabachos.
I have told you before that I like sugar. I really really like sugar so it only makes sense that I would like candy. Yes, I love love love candy! I am not sure if candy is the reason I like Halloween so much but I am sure that somehow it all makes sense eventually. [...]
Today Lily, Adeline and I went to a Halloween festival. I decided a couple days ago that we should wear costumes. Here are my batgirls right after I got them ready! Criminals of the world BEWARE! Not two but three crime fighters. Ta-Da! No more time for pictures… must go fight crime!
Have you ever had Puppy Chow? Not the stuff you feed your dog, the stuff that is peanut butter, chocolate, and crispy deliciousness! Lily, Adeline and I made some today. The fist step is to measure the amount of Crispix you are going to use. Then in a pan melt the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla. [...]
We lost our softball game today. I totally warned JP in the last inning that I wanted him to get our group picture… he didn’t do it! It happens that some of his co-workers were playing kickball at the same location…. and they came over to chat after their game. He totally paid attention to them and [...]
Today Liz and Laura came over for dinner. The domestic goddess in me made lime chicken breast, a big awesome salad, snow peas (and rice that I forgot to serve). Liz brought over her computer that had problems and JP fixed it for her. Here is Liz, Laura, and me on the swing. When JP [...]
We went to my buddy AJ’s birthday party today. He had the “Games2U” video game van at his party. Happy Birthday AJ! The card that we got for him said Happy Barf-Day… it does not get much better than that when you are 10! AJ’s little sister Gabby is quite possibly the cutest thing ever. I [...]
Today Amanda, Stephanie, JP & I all headed up to Austin to celebrate JP’s birthday. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel on 7th & Congress. The first thing we did after we checked in was have dinner at The Roaring Fork. Even the waiter knew it was JP’s birthday weekend because after dinner they brought him birthday dessert! No [...]
Today was the last time we will whoop it up together in the old house. Here is a picture of J9, Amanda and I whoopin it up after days of slavery as far as the move goes. I truly love these girls!
13 days, 18 hours & 27 minutes from when I posted this Amanda will be landing in San Antonio. It is no secret that she is my bff. If I am doing my math right this will be her 6th time coming to see me since I moved to San Antonio. I met Amanda about 13 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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?
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!

We had our 3rd game of the season today! The final score was 9-3!!! Thats a 3-0 season so far. For today’s picture we have one extra player, our favorite umpire Javier! After the game we went to the local SSC (San Antonio Sports and Social Club / www.sanantoniossc.com) hangout Tycoon Flats. I discovered a new very annoying [...]
Yesterday we celebrated Easter with Rickey and his family. Lots of delicious bbq, cascarones, a pinata and even an easter egg hunt. We even went for rides on the 4-wheeler. Here is a picture of Lily and Rickey on one of the 4-wheelers. Not to long after this picture was taken I jumped on and JP and me followed Rickey [...]
