Erin The Great

I have officially survived the month of June in the great state of Texas. Since I’ve been living here, I have come to realize a few things that I thought were impossible beforehand.

1. I never I thought I’d walk outside and say the words ‘sweet, it’s ONLY 96 degrees out’.
2. Dresses/skirts are mandatory past mid May due to the fact that my stick shift has metal on it and I need something to keep a permanent ‘stick shift brand’ off my right hand.
3. I fear falling down on the cement for any kind time frame and receiving 3rd degree burns on exposed skin.
4. I’m now to the point when I hear the ‘tornado sirens’ I look out the window to see if the sky has turned green yet… when it doesn’t I ignore them.
5. I never thought I’d put Tabasco sauce on something because salsa just doesn’t cut it anymore.
6. I found a cockroach about the size of my palm and was like ‘dammit, now I have to find the roach spray’ without flinching.
7. The ability to serve ‘Dom Perignon at a burger joint…. For $10 more they’ll throw in 2 burgers and a basket of fries.
8. It’s the hair that doesn’t fit through the door jams, not the body.
9. I’m truly afraid of my tires melting to the street one of these blissfully muggy 107 degree days. You might think I’m crazy but it’s a real fear!
10. I walk outside and strip as much clothes off as I can without being indecent or immodest, when I walk inside I start bundling up like a mo-fo blanket included. Where is the happy medium??
11. Me trying to straighten my hair on one of these fines days = Epic Fail.
12. Tacos everywhere you go… believe it or not Crap in the box has some really good tacos.

This is just a small list of things I have come to realize living in the large state of Texas. I will be going back to Utah for a wedding and to pick up things I left in Utah…. Movies, shoes… underwear (don’t ask, I was homeless for 3 months) I will miss it here like you wouldn’t believe!
