I'm a Prim

Yesterday, I went on a five hour hike of Epping Forest in the UK.  (I can now say I've seen the end of the Central line).  Our group of five MBAs had a great time hiking and faffing around.

One reason time flew was the GREAT game we played.  It's called "Who Would You Be in The Hunger Games?"  We went around nominating, debating, laughing, etc. with what we came up with.  Good game to play in large groups of people where everyone knows everyone's character.  We then extended this to Harry Potter and Disney characters.

I found this great online quiz that tells you who you'd be in the the Hunger Games.

My friends thought I'd be Rue or Prim (totally not a career).  The quiz said I'd be Prim.  I'll agree :)

Primrose Everdeen Prim is said to have a face as pure as a raindrop. As pure in fact as the primrose she was named after. Like Prim you are very reliant on other people although you do try your hardest to stand out and be unique. Wherever you go you get smiles all around and people love the sight of you. You try your best to help out wherever you go and you use your beautiful smile to cheer people up.  And finally, here's my favorite dress-up photo from the day.  A day in the life of the Tudors.

MAXimum Fun

The holidays are always spent in Texas.  Always.

I spent a few days in Houston this December.  And what trip to H-town wouldn't be complete without going to Max's Wine Dive?  Things (people) change but also stay the same.  Here are some photos from the night taken with my new 35 mm prime lens (f/1.8) for my Nikon D5000.  This lens was recommended to me by three different friends plus Ken Rockwell's  website...totally worth it! 

Blast from the past.  LOVED seeing Menges (Laura) and Zappy (Holly)

 Me with the McMasters...can't wait for them to come back to London.  It's their turn :)

Reese and me reminiscing upon ex-pat life and Speed Scrabble

And, finally, being in Texas means that I can watch TV shows on demand with big HD TV's commonly found in homes.  My sister recommended the new TV show called Once Upon a Time to Me.  I disregarded it at the beginning because I thought it was insane to have a show about fairy tales.  Then, I learned the writers of LOST wrote this series too.  You can definitely tell because Once Upon a Time is all about the characters of the show and viewing their past to see how they became the way they are.  Watch in on Sunday nights!  Though I did watch ~8 episodes via Hulu on the TV.  It was a great 5 hours!
