Eagle Pass

Whenever I find myself going to a city I've never been to, I like to read up on a bit.
This weekend Eric and I are going to be driving to Eagle Pass,Texas for a friend's birthday party.

I've never been there before but it's home to the only Texas casino(on a small Native American Reservation).I don't know what to expect,but I know that if you're in the company of good people you're always bound to have a good time.

My only hesitation this weekend is what the heck I'm going to eat. Parties=mad calories and my ass is currently doing Weight Watchers. So far I've lost about 6lbs and counting.Can someone just hide the queso and cerveza from me por favor? Thanks.

In other news, summer school is finally over and I made it through with a B in my English Lit class which required little to know effort and a C in Algebra which I only earned by the grace of God. I really wish my math skills weren't so below par. Tutoring here I come. And I'm business major ? :(I have 2 weeks off until the fall semester starts again...here's to better preparation in the new school year!

I finally made a return to the stage last Saturday with the Sideshow Tramps. I hadn't sang in public really since March and it was really nice to see some of those familiar faces again. Sometimes I really miss performing every night, but the life I'm living now compared to a year ago is truly a blessing and I don't see myself changing anytime soon.
