Hiya...from Houston...
We made it on Monday night (technically Tues morning) and spent the first night on sleeping bags on the floor of the living room. The movers (don't get me started on them) showed up Tuesday and I now have furniture! Yay. Washer and Dryer came today and, oh yeah, the cable guy came so I'm all "hooked up" and internetified again.

Thanks again to everyone who lent a vibe, support or encouragement---or all 3. You're the best.

19. Welcome to Texas.
You Know You're in Texas When...

You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water...
You can say 110 degrees without fainting...
You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off...
You can make instant sun tea...
You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron...
The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly...
You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car...
You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window...
You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance...
Hot water now comes out of both taps...
It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets...
You actually burn your hand opening the car door...
You break a sweat the instant you step outside... at 7:30 a.m. before work... ***This one is SO true for Houston.***
No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning...
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death"?...
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state...

You missed the snow.

Another cold front is coming.

Houston is a great place, except for summmer time.

41. PassingFair has rented out your house to squatters
Is your phone hooked up yet?

We are having a huge snowstorm here -- you're probably lounging around the pool drinking margaritas.
