Small Town Festival

It's been a few days since I last posted and for that, I am sorry. It seems that I'm always on the go from the time my feet hit the ground in the morning. 
This past weekend we went to an annual festival and the weather couldn't have been better, with the exception of the wind and the fire that came considerably close to our home. This is an event that has been going on since I was about 10 years old and, although, we still have the B-B-Q cook offs, the washer pitching contests and the carnival rides, the event has grown. There are vendors, food and crafts a like, that travel from all over central Texas to set up a booth for this weekend. Since I had what I like to call "free" money from the poker party tips, I actually enjoyed walking the booths this year. I have added a spinning thingy of sorts for our deck, a set of two rustic, yet very chick, candle vases for our deck, an apron for Devil and a few pairs of earrings. I made out like a bandit! 
Today, I'm renting a house deeper into the hill country and we're doing photo shoots and videos, so look for pictures on twitter and in this blog so you can see what I'm doing in real time. 

Old Man Winter...

...can kiss my ass! Holy fuck me, it has been incredibly cold for the past few weeks and it's pissing me the fuck off. Okay, now that I have that little outburst out of the way, I can get on with my gripe. We have been hit hard with below zero temps and 45 mph north winds which has resulted in freezing our water tap. It appears that everyone who lives in the hill country and/or on a well have had this same experience. If that's not bad enough we had a few water line breaks when it finally reached above freezing on day three. We're just not equipped for this type of cold weather. I mean, our February can be brutal with heavy winds and freezing rain but nothing like this. In fact, we finally had a 45 degree day just for another cold front to blow through last night. Unfortunately, we have one more night of freezing temps before we can expect some decent weather. Although, anything above 40 would be decent weather at this point. I have never been so ready for spring as I am this year. Not only has it been nasty and miserably cold but my house is a complete and utter wreck. The dogs have wreaked havoc, bless their hearts, and the water issue has left my floors and sinks in a muddy mess. Oh, and on top of all of that, my washer was busted for a few days so the laundry is backed up and I hate to even open that door...good lord, chaos is my friend right now and I'm sure hating my friend....
So, tell me about your winter weather misery...
