I know I said the Viper Pilot would be the one to write a post about my {death-defying} roller coaster ride. But he's been pretty busy. That and he doesn't think he'd be any good at this. I beg to differ, but whatev. We went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas with the Viper Pilot's aunt, uncle and cousins. I am not, never have been, and never will be, a fan of these types of places. I will say, I did enjoy the shows we saw. It was before Christmas, so there was much caroling and lots of ... View the Post
Healthy Once More
The good news is, I'm healthy again. Hooray! Last Saturday, I was feeling healthy enough for a walk. My lungs desperately craved fresh air and I needed to see the sun. There is a quaint little park in Castroville that has a walking path all the way around, plus hikes in in the foothills of hill country that we might have to scope out next time. The path around the park was all I had the energy for, though. It was a beautiful 80 degrees. The path meandered around along the river ... View the Post
{Lightened Up} Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Promise me you'll make this for dinner tonight. There is a Whole Foods in San Antonio. So guess where I went while the Viper Pilot was at work? ...and I got my lunch in a container there, too. I'm not going to elaborate on the making of this dish - it was excellent. And chances are, you already have most of the ingreeds. <-- Best part. {Lightened Up} Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta adapted from eat, live, run 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized ...

S Family Christmas
Did you have a nice December 25th? Hope so! We spent Christmas day at Alex's grandparents' house in Texas. I don't mind Christmas in the south so much. It was 50 or 60 something, and though the sun wasn't shining, it was still better than sub-zero temps with a wind chill to boot. I am ready to see some snow - I miss that white stuff - but I don't that is going to happen this year. As every holiday should have, ours was full of the three f's: fun, food and family. And horses. Elle's shirt: ... View the Post
Light up the Riverwalk
We went to the Riverwalk with Uncle Mike, Aunt Janice and Hannah and Jack to see it all lit up with the 1.4 million Christmas lights. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. We rode the boat down the river to see all the lights. I snapped pictures all along the way. Check this out. Uncle Mike, Hannah, Aunt Janice, Jack and Alex Isn't this just the coolest thing ever?? Cool effect from the motion of the boat. Gorgeous [giant] Christmas tree. Just the way I like them. We ... View the Post
I think I’ll try defying gravity.
Happy Christmas week, everyone! Raise your hands if you're excited for Jesus' birthday! Woop!! The Viper Pilot's aunt, uncle and cousins came to San Antonio to visit for a weekend. It was such a fun weekend and a great way to start my Christmas break! It began with a {not so} fun trip to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Let me start by letting you in on a little secret about yours truly. I HATE amusement parks. I know 'hate' is a very strong word and I mean it when I say it. I don't get the "thrill" ... View the Post
