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 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. [...]
I played two games of softball today in 80º weather! I haven’t played since December 5th but it feels like a lot longer than that. This afternoon Mario sent me a text asking if I can fill in on his team and I was all over it. So first I played a game over at Victory Sports Park [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
JP has taught me a lot of things over the past few years. One of the most valuable things I have learned from him is about saving pictures. As you guys know I take pictures every single day. And pretty much every single day I upload them to my computer and then shoot them up [...]
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 [...]
Today after dinner Lily, JP and I all headed over to Six Flags. A couple months ago we bought 2011 season passes which cover the rest of 2010 as well. They have lots and lots of christmas lights up all over the place. When we first got inside the park our first stop was The Goliath which is [...]
I was at the liquor store today stocking up our liquor cabinet and I found the most awesome gift pack. We have our favorite liquors and as far as tequilas go Patron is #1 on our list. We have had the green & orange label but not the other two. Has anyone ever tried the [...]
Once we got to West Yellowstone we rented snowmobiles from Back Country Snowmobile Adventures. The rental was not nearly as much as I thought it might be. We paid a little over $100 per snowmobile and we could use them for the entire day. The people were friendly and it didn’t take long until they [...]
This morning we all met back up again at Richard’s house for breakfast. Here is Alex and I enjoying a mimosa. After breakfast some people headed home and others headed for The Field Museum in downtown Chicago. There is so much to see. We spent 4+ hours there and still didn’t have enough time to see everything. Here is [...]
We woke up this morning in South Haven knowing that in just a few hours we would be in Chicago, IL. We had tried unsuccessfully for the last two days to have Sherman’s Ice Cream. Right when we checked out of our hotel room we headed to Captain Nemos and I ordered my ever sought [...]
Today was my nephew Cael’s baptism. A few times I asked people what the difference was between a baptism and a christening. Everyone seemed to have the same opinion and now after looking it up we learned that they were wrong. The baptism is the water part and the christening is the giving of the [...]
Did you know that Lansing is the capital of Michigan? We spent day #2 in Lansing with my brother Alex and his family. First we headed to Kelli’s cousin Brian’s house for some tailgating. Me and JP went for a walk down by the river. Don’t you love the fall leaves! Then we headed to [...]
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 & [...]
We didn’t realize that today was when daylight savings time went back to standard time until JP’s mom Marlene reminded us midway through the day. After a day of shopping, JP and I went to to the San Antonio Yacht Club for food and drinks. Does the name of this place make anyone else think twice? Hint: San Antonio is [...]
Today I went through a box of photos that I have from when I was a kid and I pulled out all of the Halloween pictures that I could find. I did my absolute best to put these in date order. As far as I can tell this is my first Halloween! In 1979 Vanessa was Raggedy Ann, I [...]
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!
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 [...]
We had our 3rd game of the season today. We lost the game 8-14 but we still had a lot of fun. The league that we play on wrote about our game last week against Dixen Chicks. Check it out → http://sanantoniossc.com/tracker_softball/ After the game Levi declared himself as #1. Rickey said “Awe ain’t I [...]
The Ninja Turdles whooped it up again this week! Here is Cathy getting ready to kill it! We won the game 11-3!!! And of course The Ninja Turdles! After the game we stayed around and whoop it up a little bit. Here is Michael’s best “I’m too sexy for my ….”
We had two kickball games today. We won the first game 4-1 but we lost the second game 0-12… ouch! Here I am trying to hide from the blazing hot sun. And here are the Ball Kickers. From left to right: Dave, Barbara, Obie, Mario, Cathy, Jeff, Michelle, Me, Cesar & Jerry. After the game [...]
There are no pumpkin fields in or very near San Antonio, TX. They dont grow them around here. When you go to buy them you find out they are all imported. Since I have lived in the North most of my life I think its crazy! I went online and found a farm that sells [...]
This is our first weekend in we don’t know how long that we have no plans. Literally we have no where that we have to be, and no one that we have to hang out with. Lily is gone for the entire weekend and both softball and kickball were postponed until next weekend. It is no [...]
After breakfast at the hotel restaurant we headed down to the pool. The pool at the resort was so much fun. It is basically 4 pools that are each connected by waterfalls. We spent way more time at the pool this weekend than at the beach. Check out this underwater picture I snapped of Lily! [...]
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 [...]
Me and JP played our first game of Table Shuffleboard today. I am not very good at losing and he killed me but I am totally willing to play him again. I thought that the stuff on the table was salt until I had JP taste it. Has anyone ever played this before?
Today we woke up around 9am. JP and James started the smoker and then we headed to the river. We were in the water by 11am! Here is me and Lily chillin in our rafts! This dragonfly landed on Lily’s foot. Afterward we turned in our stuff and headed back to the truck. Me and [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Thanks to the hurricane we canceled our beach plans for the weekend. Yesterday I got a little water bug in my head and decided that rain or shine we were going to be wet. I reserved a boat on Canyon Lake which is about an hour north of San Antonio. Here is a picture of J9, [...]
Today we went floating on the Comal River. After you first get on the river you float for awhile until you hit the first tube shoot. J9 and Lily Pad were both so nervous about the shoot. Hours… and I am not kidding hours after J9 went through the shoot I saw this picture. You can [...]
We are headed out to Bandera, TX: Cowboy Capital of The World. Here is me and J9 messing around with the iPhone camera.
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. [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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!
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?
