don't mess with Texas

Last weekend Jason and I flew to Houston for one of Jason's call back interviews ... of course the one time we fly it rains for the first time in a month. After standing in the pouring rain for over half an hour and being denied by every cab that stopped we frantically called my boss and used her car service to take us to the airport. Luckily our flight was delayed so we made it in plenty of time.

Texas was great. A little too hot, I enjoy the seasons so this alone was a set back for me ... and of course, Jason. Jason was wined and dined and was very impressed with the firm, that is until one of the partners used the word "workenest" to describe Mormon boys. This same partner had a stuffed elk and deer on the wall of his office, definitely not something you will find in NY.

The one thing we loved about Texas was how big everything was. From accents and hair to truck size, we saw it all. I loved the accents, our waiters and cab drivers seemed so much nicer with there southern drawl. A good change from the rude waiters here in NY.

Our favorite part, besides the pumpkin cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, was our flight home. So were sitting in the second row of coach and suddenly Jason spots his idol ... Tim Gunn seated in first class. It's not really his idol but some might think it's a little funny that he even knows who Tim Gunn is. I'll admit Project Runway is one of Jason's favorites and he does watch Tim Gunn's Guide to Style occasionally. After we got off the plane we saw him and his entourage of about 8 women so Jason didn't say anything to him. But as we were waiting for our luggage he came and stood by us and started walking out the same time as us so of course we smiled and Jason had to tell him that he loved his show. He thanked us and was very nice, very nicely dressed too I might add. Just one more celebrity to add to our list.

While we loved Texas I just don't see us settling down there. New York we're here to stay!!
