As much as I loved my trip to Dallas, I was kind of ready to go home. I could never be a celebrity. I got sick of living out of a suitcase and eating out every night. The one thing I wanted when I got back to Houston was a homecooked meal, and to watch tv in bed and have nowhere to go. I see why people like Prince don't tour alot..he wants to sleep in his bed! I don't know that for a fact but he's a friend in my head and friends usually think alike.
I met some wonderful people in Dallas, people that I will surely keep in contact with. Before I left, I grabbed a fab statement necklace from Juanette because the necklace haunted me every night since I saw her wear it!
(You have to see it on...you can see Juanette wearing it in the post GFS in Dallas: Day 1)
One of the highlights (outside of meeting the Dallas bloggers) was finally making it to Buc-ee's! Do you guys have a Buc-ee's? I've traveled across Texas from time to time and I've always seen it...I thought it was just a truck stop. But oh no boo, Buc-ee's is anything but a truck stop! It's a movement! I don't really know how to describe it except that it's kind of like Wal-Mart meets Chucky Cheese meets a gas station meets a Deli Shop sponsored by CRACK! It was overwhelming!
It's the only place that you can get Jalopeno Cream Cheese in a jar, turkey jerkey, homemade Butter Pecan Fudge, a DR. Pepper ICEE and the cleanest restrooms ever all under ONE ROOF! I'm a Buc-ee's believer! If you ever see one, stop and go in! You will never look at truck stops the same!
I was on the chartered bus on the way back home and I was reading my new book by Chastity Garner called "The Curvy Girl's Guide to Style". One person saw it and wanted to see it and by the time I got back to Houston, half the bus was asking about the book. That's when I was all like "Umm hmmm girl, my homegirl wrote this here book!" Totally pimping out the book! Chastity, the book was very popular among the curvy teachers I roll with!
Next stop? Norfolk, VA and Washington Dc in a few weeks!

Looks like you had a great time. Great necklace.
You are so good to be pimping your friend's book like that. What an angel.
Oh also, apparently Gif Party posted this today just for you:

1) We totally stopped at Buc-ee's when we came back from Houston a few weeks ago. I may have even taken some pictures with the outhouse that is inside the store.
2) Why are you going to Norfolk? I grew up there!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful summer already. But I'm sure you miss all your students, right? :-)

who came up with the spelling of BUC-EEE'S?! it is kind of driving me crazy. but some butter pecan fudge and clean restrooms might make me get over it!
So sad to see you go! For my trip to Houston I definitely have to stop at Buccees! That is why Prince wore his pajamas to the awards show because he wanted to be in his bed!
OOhhh oh, I DID NOT see the photo on the necklace the first time! Wear it with joy! I need another one for me!
oh that necklace is awesome! ...and I just read your comment on DrollGirl's latest post which I thought was unbelievable! I mean, who says that ...and who THINKS THAT SHIT!?!? Mind blowing ...but your comment, as usual made me laugh out loud :)
I know what you mean. Travel is fun. Restaurants are lovely. Home is the best though. Always the best : )
