Sushi Convert
So thanks to my brother Sushi is my favorite new food. I have always given him a hard time for loving sushi. Always asking “How do you manage to eat raw fish – gross!” Well I am eating my words now because he somehow talked me into going to eat sushi one night over Christmas break. I tried it – and loved it. I normally eat it about once a week now. I have tried several sushi restaurants in Austin but my fave by far is Osaka off of Anderson Mill Road. If you’re in Austin and you love sushi – go there. I promise you will not be disappointed. A couple of things I have discovered about my sushi loving taste buds – they like salmon more than tuna but I will eat tuna. Spicy Salmon rolls are the bomb. And they really like the vegetable rolls – I know I know – veggie rolls aren’t quote on quote sushi. But hey – I am all for discovering more ways to eat veggies that are delish!

Grammy's Kodak Moment
I was watching the Grammy’s last Sunday and I think it was one of the best awards shows I have seen in a long time. Watching Justin Timberlake bring down the house with Al Green was pretty awesome. And of course I was dancing on the couch watching ColdPlay perform. Those guys are so fun to watch live…and then well I love their music so there’s that too. But I truly think the Kodak moment of the night was when Neil Diamond was singing Sweet Caroline and he started to walk down the steps of the stage into the audience – when the camera panned out you saw Paul McCartney just jamming away to the song. I doubled over laughing – it was so great. To see one legend so excited to dance and sing along to another legend. It was priceless!

Did You Know
So there is a viral “25 Things about Me” going around on Facebook. I decided to blog about this first and then post on Facebook. PS….I am obsessed with Facebook. It’s unhealthy – it’s the number 1 reason I wanted an iPhone. Oh well that should be a totally different blog entry. Back to “25 Things about Me”!
1) I love classical music – I’m obsessed with Itzhak Perlman.
2) Growing up math was my least favorite subject yet I deal with numbers all day long in my job.
3) I met my husband country western dancing and I thought he looked like Tim McGraw (my husband says God blinded me).
4) Pink = half the clothes in my closet.
5) Mr. Darcy and Ron Weasley are my two most favorite characters – if you don’t know who they are then you just aren’t cool.
6) I love that my husband calls me Beloved.
7) My middle named is Loving – after Oliver Loving – my great(to the third) grandfather who was one of the first men to blaze cattle into Texas with Charles Goodnight. Hence the infamous Goodnight-Loving Trail. And why is the family not in the cattle business? I don’t know.
8) I miss my grandparents so much it hurts.
9) My secret wish is to some day finish a book I have started.
10) I have owned my horse twice.
11) Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day.
12) I almost always fall asleep while watching one of the following moves: Pride and Prejudice, You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, Enchanted, The Devil Wears Prada, Friends, (or The Office if my husband beats me to bed).
13) I was on the Texas Rowing Team my freshman year in college.
14) Back in 2000 I sat next to Heath Ledger on a plane.
15) I have an affliction for designer purses – I blame my grandmother for that.
16) My favorite place to be is a) on a horse or b) reading a book on the beach.
17) I heart coffee. I am trying to only drink decaf now but it’s really hard!
18) Every time I come home no matter what my day has been like I smile because my dog acts like she hasn’t seen me in a year and goes bananas because she is so happy to see me.
19) Austin has been my home for 25 years.
20) I could spend hours everyday in Barnes and Noble – I love the smell of books.
21) I would like to go back to school at some point for a MBA.
22) Over the course of my life my family has had 6 dogs, 2 horses, 1 rabbit, 3 hamsters, 5 birds, numerous fish, and a partridge in a pear tree.
23) Christmas is my favorite time of the year.
24) Sushi is my new fave food.
25) The song “It Happens” by Sugarland is about my life.
