Weekend Update

We went to the HBA of Greater Austin's Parade of Homes yesterday in Lakeway. Beautiful homes, all in different ways, but I must say I preferred last year's show at Mueller. This year's Lakeway homes, especially the first three, have gorgeous lake views and amazing outdoor living spaces, but I liked the design and decor of the Mueller homes better. Pictures are not available yet, because the show is still on through the 31st, but my fave was 305 Bissett Ct. (At least I'm pretty sure that was the one...) It has a great kitchen with a beauuuuutiful pizza oven and a waterfall sink in the powder room.

Almost all the homes' functions- lighting, sound, etc.- are operated by iPads. Must be the new thing.

Could college football have sucked any more than yesterday? It sucked like a giant sucking thing!! Dear Nebraska... please pull your head out. Thank you.

And Johnson, I think I've reached my limit for watching overthrown passes. Just saying.

At Kathy's last night, we had champagne and Pama. Um, yummy! I'm not usually a champagne person, but it was really good.
