I haven't blogged in ages due to the fact that I work 24/7 running two businesses... Yes, I said 2! Jessica and I are starting a web-based Interior Design business called Twine! It will have DIY room designs and unique furnishings for sale. We are hard at work, nose to the grind, preparing for the launch which will happen in the next month or two (fingers crossed and lots of prayers). We decided to start another blog on a temporary site until the website goes live. We thought it would be fun for our cheerleaders to follow our progress and get a sneak peek on what we are up to!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Artist is an all encompassing term not just for painters or sculptors but also writers, singers, architects, actors and interior designers. I believe it is anyone who is creative and who puts their work out into the world and opens themselves to criticism. This is the website designer, graphic designer, crafter, photographer, wedding planner, director, poet, etc. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some think that artists long for and even cause themselves pain in order to produce their work, thinking that the pain produces their work. I disagree. I have a <u>need to create</u> ever since I was a little girl. I made clothes for my dolls, rearranged my room a million times, built things, demolished things, made beautiful mud pies and tried every craft I could. I took painting lessons when I was 12 and have been in art ever since. If I am not creating then I am frustrated and frustration leads to anxiety and depression (in my case). And if I am creating, then I am open to criticism. It's a double edge sword. Not everyone will be happy with everything you create. I logically know this and I try to be confident and just say to myself that they don't know any better but in reality it's a kick in the stomach. My head knows you can't please everyone and not everyone agrees with what is beautiful but my heart says "I put this out in the world and the world doesn't appreciate it". It's hard to balance this. Not only the criticism is hard to deal with but to having your creativity be given parameters by the commissioner or client. Parameters are good and necessary but it's a struggle for the creative person to have this beautiful design be hacked away at by budget, poor workmanship, the client selecting something on their own, etc. What was beautiful in your mind is a far cry from what actually is produced and not by your own doing. Frustrating to no end! </span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">I believe the pain that artists feel (at least for me) is based on the frustration of not being able to create, the criticism that comes with creativity that is almost impossible to divorce yourself from, and the frustration of not being able to make what is in your head a reality. It's not the pain that produces the art it's the art that produces the pain, the not being able to create it or the backlash from the world. If you know an artist, which I imagine most of you do, try to tell them how you love their creativity (even if you don't like their work), pat them on the back for putting themselves out there. Creative people need time to daydream, brainstorm or imagine. I know I need to explore new things and new places to renew my creativity so vacations are a big deal for me. Support that or whatever renews your spouse, friend or relative. </span></span></div>

It's hard to believe it's 2012! I always feel the need for a new beginning, clear out the old and freshen up at this time of year. Of course, I watched a marathon of the show "Hoarders" over the holidays which always makes me want to throw out stuff even more. I feel the need to focus on going through each room in my house and organizing this January and February. I will blog about products I find, ideas I have, how-tos and inspiration!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyApq_Je_rmb9eBGNI4pO6phFiedtaGXweLrh45Gb6E8nggvs3U7bTFcEL0t6Go9HBJKkgShLf5q3YHphJxDEZd-ComqCSqyAJ7h_3spB1TW6QdJ313_D_tAFt1Df2zn0TEM8o6MbcQF8/s1600/69454019222869061_v6ruYlN5_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyApq_Je_rmb9eBGNI4pO6phFiedtaGXweLrh45Gb6E8nggvs3U7bTFcEL0t6Go9HBJKkgShLf5q3YHphJxDEZd-ComqCSqyAJ7h_3spB1TW6QdJ313_D_tAFt1Df2zn0TEM8o6MbcQF8/s640/69454019222869061_v6ruYlN5_c.jpg" width="371" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This looks like something I would do!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Let's start the new year by getting rid of old linens- sheets, towels, stained napkins.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It feels great to sleep in fresh linens so it's great motivation to keep going! I always gravitate toward white or cream linens just because face creams can bleach out colored linens. I like Egyptian cotton sheets but bamboo has intrigue me. I have bamboo towels and would love to try the sheets. Something to consider is the higher the thread count the softer the sheets as well as the type of cotton. The softer the sheets the more wrinkled they are. So it's a preference on what type you prefer.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
There are many types of linens, just to name a few...<br />
<br />
Linen- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Textile">textile</a> made from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Fiber">fibers</a> of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flax" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Flax">flax</a> plant. Linen is labor-intensive to manufacture, but when it is made into garments, it is valued for its exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather. It Wrinkles.</span><br />
Cotton- The higher the thread count the more expensive and softer the sheets.<br />
Bamboo- Types<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2c29; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><ol style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px; margin-top: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Bamboo / Cotton Blend:</strong> Usually somewhere around 60% bamboo and 40% cotton, these sheets attempt to provide the comfort of bamboo with the familiarity of cotton. The cotton helps these sheets retain their color while the bamboo provides the softness, comfort, and anti-microbial properties you're looking for.</li>

How time flies! I feel like Christmas is tomorrow and I'm super behind. I have been very busy decorating for Christmas at a client's office (I will have photos soon). Finally, I had time this past weekend to decorate my own house for Christmas. I decided to do something completely different and I only had a limited budget and limited time so I had to get creative. I thought it would be cool to use mirrors that would reflect candlelight. But I didn't want to do your standard large mirror on my mantle, so I came up with using mirrors in the shape of a tree. I feel like it's a work in progress and by the time I get it right in two years, I'll change again!! Here's how I did it....</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8KoocQUYBO2iVQwl6oaabkace3s72XtSqMNUIO6oDRbgXfxfs0nYBkvFHkNDJGlgD4-KQKDbXVNUHcRw1-2smxkgjbpvmGwiibtu-pZcELhcl01rPLZh_o_5u0wynYVRdC7G_h1dudmh/s1600/Fireplace+Mirrors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8KoocQUYBO2iVQwl6oaabkace3s72XtSqMNUIO6oDRbgXfxfs0nYBkvFHkNDJGlgD4-KQKDbXVNUHcRw1-2smxkgjbpvmGwiibtu-pZcELhcl01rPLZh_o_5u0wynYVRdC7G_h1dudmh/s640/Fireplace+Mirrors.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

I had to use my iPhone and there was very little light. Oh well, now I need to find new stocking holders and buy some antique mercury glass for next year's decoration. I want it too look more abundant than it does now. A good tip is .... to take pictures of your decorations, so that you can remember what you have if you want to buy something for next year or plan something new. Also take pictures of the new decorations you buy on sale after the holidays so you don't forget 10 months later.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Plants gone wildI have noticed in many pictures from interiors magazines that they have gone a bit crazy with the styling of the rooms. Especially Elle Decor, their stylist loves to put a over sized limb or leaf in every room. While this is great for a beautiful photograph, it is not that practical for everyday life. Use caution when trying to implement this idea of over-scaled foliage in your home.....<br />

The weather has turned crisp, it's just before the time change, so it's dark outside and I am nice and cozy in a warm bed.... all the makings for sleeping in. Beep, beep, beep... alarm goes off a zillion times and I dragged myself out of bed, but tomorrow is a different story, it's Saturday and I plan on sleeping in!!! I am going to dream about being cozied up in these beautiful beds.....<br />

Cheap and FastI was watching Bath Crashers on the DIY network (<a href="http://www.diynetwork.com/bath-crashers/show/index.html">http://www.diynetwork.com/bath-crashers/show/index.html</a>) and it reminded me of how misleading these design shows are about how long it takes to do a remodel. Matt says "bring your friends and family to start demo tomorrow". The supposed "next day" the weather is completely different. The next day is most likely 3 weeks later. It takes that long to order glass shower doors. They have to measure, order materials and they can't do that in 12 hours overnight. It takes time to build and install too! It doesn't happen in 2 days like they make it seem. <br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong a remodel can happen fast depending on the size if all materials are on site and you have a crew that works around the clock (which you have to pay overtime). So, cheap and fast can't happen simultaneously. Typically, if you are willing to wait it will cost less, especially if you do the work yourself. If you want it done fast, then it will cost more, overnighting materials and paying crews overtime. These shows give the public the wrong impression of how long and expensive these remodels can be. Read our other blog on designing on a dime.<br />

Keep in mind, it's more expensive and takes longer than you think. Even I am surprised every now and then!

I have been trying to get used to doing it all. (Isn't that always the case for a woman.) As you know, from previous posts that I moved my office to my house and it's just me working, no more staff. It's been an adjustment, but honestly I love it. I miss the team work and collaboration but it has been so great doing all the designing. I feel so much more organized! I am a control freak anyhow and it adds fuel to the fire!<br />
<br />
I have a secret obsession of watching the show "Hoarders". I am perplexed by how someone can become so extreme. After watching, I immediately throw something away! I personally don't like clutter and having too many items on display. Although having lots of things on display can be quite beautiful, it's personally not my thing. I believe there is beauty in the space between. It brings adoration to those few precious pieces you have. Here's some examples of how simplicity can be beautiful and not boring....<br />

Bad Moulding<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since my last blog about moulding, I began to obsess and think about all the things I hate that builders put into our homes. Yes, I know <u>hate</u> is a strong word and I really do mean <u>HATE</u>! It's the one thing that is always wrong when I go into my potential client's homes especially if they have new homes. There is a science, geometry, scale, etc.. to moulding. I must show you what exactly grates on my nerves...</span><br />

A picture rail is used to hang wire from to hang your pictures so you don't damage plaster walls. So that needs to be close to the ceiling or above picture height. This moulding while a good size is in the completely wrong location. It prevents you from hanging anything interesting over the sofa. </div><br />

Design on a dime- who's dime?HGTV and other publications are misleading the general public. I have to go and deliver the bad news to my clients who thought their bathroom remodel would cost $1,000 would actually cost $9,000. That makes me look like the bad guy right from the start. These shows never include the cost of labor.<br />
<br />
Here's a recent article from Myhomeideas.com that states this before and after costs $200.00.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">after</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I see new pillows, paint on fireplace wall, fire screen, baskets under coffee table, rug, and lamp. Let's just say that they painted and bought pillows and a new fireplace screen. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Paint and materials $40</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Screen $30 (a really cheap one)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Labor to prep, buy materials and paint 3 hours x $25= $75</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pillows- 4 x $25= $100.00</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That is $245 total so far assuming they had the accessories, rug and lamp already. They just didn't put labor into the budget. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The problem with these shows or magazines is that they are misleading consumers by letting them think it won't cost much to freshen up or remodel their homes. Then consumers are shocked at the cost of hiring a contractor to do it. The contractor and I get the blame, saying we charge too much. It takes alot of time to build or remodel a space and time is money. It's either my time or my clients time, they can choose. They problem is everyone wants something for nothing, partly because they don't value the amount of time or effort it takes to do it. </div><br />
Labor is the most expensive part of a budget most of the time. For instance, I have a small bathroom (your standard size) remodel that has materials cost of $3,000.00 and a labor cost of $6,000.00 which is a total of $9,000. That is just removing a tub and building in a shower, new tile, lighting, hardware, mirror, sink, faucet and countertops. That isn't even a gut. A gut and redo would be $15,000 minimum depending on the material cost. <br />
<br />
My bathroom project is similar in size and what they want done to the before and after pictures below.<br />

Kitchens will run $50,000 minimum for a gut and redo of a normal size kitchen. These prices are in Texas and depending on where you live they will go up. <br />

HGTV please be more realistic with your budget numbers!<br />

Blow Bars<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They were thinking Brilliant!!</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blow Bars are a type of hair salon that wash/blow/style your hair no cuts or colors. You can go in and have your hair styled and some offer scalp massage. It sounds like heaven to me!! There are those days when your hair just won't cooperate and how cool it would be to go have it done and be out in 45 minutes. What if you felt like a braid or curls one day? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See this article from the wall street journal</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204831304576595322366093848.html?mod=googlenews_wsj">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204831304576595322366093848.html?mod=googlenews_wsj</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always feel like it's awkward to make an appointment for a style unless it's a special occasion. I feel like I have to get a cut or color to go to a salon. That's why this idea is awesome! Salons could make more money if they offered this service, especially if you can walk-in or make an appointment in the same day. I would spurge on this. There is nothing more relaxing than for someone to wash and blow dry your hair and I would always opt for a scalp massage (who could turn that down?) A glass of wine and chick flick and I might never do my own hair!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's some examples of Blow Bars</span><br />

I really have my heart set on a Craftsman Bungalow for our next house.<br />
<br />
After living the past couple months in less than 1,000 sq. ft. in my parent's boathouse, it's made us both realize how we really don't need a lot of space. I used to think that I wanted a 4 bed, 3.5 Bath with office and two living spaces house. Well, that's just too much to clean! I really like the coziness of our place right now.<br />
<br />
I have always loved craftsman bungalows and so today I just wanted to show you some of my dream spaces for our next place. I think a little bungalow would be just perfect for us!<br />

It was not a very good movie and only added to my growing OCD of germs in movie theaters. Yes, I occasionally Lysol the seats before I sit to see a movie. Don't judge!<br />
<br />

The best part of the movie was a quote about blogging which I found to be very relevant to today and me especially, you know, with all the blogging I do.<br />
<br />
Jude Law plays a blogger who rants against the pharmaceutical industry and government and in one scene he is confronting Dr. Ian Sussman (Elliot Gould) trying to get an interview claiming to be a freelance journalist.<br />
<br />
Dr. Sussman replys that he is only a blogger. And that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">"blogging is not writing. It's just graffiti with punctuation. "</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
I don't know why I found this to be so funny. Probably because of all the millions of people out there blogging and feeling like they are actually writers. Now, I am not saying that there are some really talented people out there blogging who are in fact writers. I just think that sometimes we forget how easy it is for anybody at all to be blogging about whatever they want with absolutely no credibility.<br />
<br />
Take me for instance, I would in no way, shape or form call myself a writer yet I do have a sense of pride and accomplishment that you are sitting in that chair right now reading whatever I feel like writing, ahem typing. I have no editor or publisher to worry about. Just me and my ideas, bad grammar and all!<br />
<br />
I don't know, I just thought it was an interesting topic for discussion. What do you think? What's your opinion of bloggers vs. writers. Is there a difference? Are bloggers just self-proclaimed writers that are validated by the amount of followers they have on our site?Studio B Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02786760777359423166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066264073976671215.post-11919917051831410892011-09-19T13:12:00.000-07:002011-09-19T13:19:08.890-07:00We're Back!!Eric and I just got back from a wonderfully relaxing vacation and I just have to share it with you!

Jessica was in Martha's Vineyard on vacation and I was at a loss to what to say with all those fires going on around us. It seems trivial to talk about color, fashion and great finds. Those things can be nice distractions but so many people lost their homes and would give anything to have 4 walls and roof no matter what it looks like. We are talking basic needs that most of us take for granted. It is times like these we are reminded about what is really important. I know my family and friends were affected by the fires. I had family in Steiner Ranch, Austin, TX and Jessica's family had their land burn. Here's a really good video of what it has been like for those affected:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://youtu.be/h6IkOFCdsxM">http://youtu.be/h6IkOFCdsxM</a><br />
<br />
I just can't imagine. Our prayers are with those who lost their homes. <br />
<br />
So I have been thinking beyond myself or outside of myself, often that is the blessing that tragedy brings. You become grateful for your family and friends and focus on how you can help. All the worrying and stuff becomes so much less significant.Studio B Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02786760777359423166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066264073976671215.post-17815669436740148152011-09-02T06:00:00.000-07:002011-09-02T06:00:00.045-07:00What do you do?As I was eating lunch the other day at Don Juans on the square with my family for lunch I ran into the parents of an old friend from High School. We exchanged the typical pleasantries and then they proceeded to dote on their kids accomplishments, like most parent's do. I found out that my old friend just got married, spent a month traveling Europe for her honeymoon and will now be starting her new job as an optometrist, oh and her husband is one too. So it's Dr. and Dr. so and so.<br />
<br />
At first I was jealous. Wow, I want to travel Europe for a month! Then I was feeling a little self-pity. At the age of 27 she is already a doctor and what have I accomplished in my life? A Marketing degree which qualifies you for everything and nothing at the same time. Quite the conundrum.<br />
<br />
I have always been a little envious of people with a professional degree, you know the lawyer, doctor, accountant, engineer etc. Mainly because when people ask you what you do you can just say, "I am an accountant, or I am a lawyer. When people ask me what I do, I need 15 minutes of their time to explain it all!<br />
<br />
However, then it hit me, I don't want to be described in just one word. Just like Alanis, I am all types of things, a little bit of everything all rolled into one. I am an interior decorator, photographer, entrepreneur, baker, marketing master, stylist and writer(blog world of course). I love all the things I get to do and wouldn't change a thing. It would just be nice to answer that small talk question with a simple answer, but let's face it, I am not a simple person!<br />
<br />
Do you ever feel this way?<br />

There are 43 Mexican food restaurants in the greater Tyler area, yes I counted them in the phonebook. Most of them are not very good. Cancun cafe, you can skip that one.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsMxK8snXp3NjkcVI2vuMCtswF6PVIXcnIcbWmsZ8G-S1XE4pYZg8mpBy4N-YqpvDUat3scr1tSTcsTApyJqOi9ocpaduVcdMkNIwSoPZfUm8xNfHl-KfWCG-8QBpy2eOSWT-tw9oQBh3e/s1600/chuys_classic_tex_mex_enchi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsMxK8snXp3NjkcVI2vuMCtswF6PVIXcnIcbWmsZ8G-S1XE4pYZg8mpBy4N-YqpvDUat3scr1tSTcsTApyJqOi9ocpaduVcdMkNIwSoPZfUm8xNfHl-KfWCG-8QBpy2eOSWT-tw9oQBh3e/s400/chuys_classic_tex_mex_enchi.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Every time a new restaurant is opening, I get excited about what we might get and then the sign goes up and it's another Tex-Mex place that will probably only make it 6 months before shutting down. How about some variety folks! I would kill for some good chinese food or how about a Cheesecake Factory? La Madeline? Please Please come to Tyler!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When I was visiting my husband in California when we were just dating, we went out to eat at like the only Mexican food place in the area and this is how our conversation went:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Me: "Do they have Queso here? </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Eric: "Queso means cheese in Spanish." </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Me: "I know, I know, do they have queso?"</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Eric: "I am sure they have cheese on stuff."</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Me, getting very frustrated at this point: "No, do they have QUESO! You know, the cheese dip that you eat with tortilla chips!"</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Needless to say he didn't have a clue what I was talking about because apparently Californians don't have Tex-Mex.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I will say that we have been getting some better things these last few months. Chuys, finally! Panera Bread soon and a Corner Bakery! I can't wait! But seriously, what are they thinking with all these Mexican Food places. Let's list some off:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1. Cancun Cafe</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">2. Carretas</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">3. Casa Ole</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">4. Cosina Mexicana</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">5. Don Juans</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">6. El Charro</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">7. Lupes</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">8. Mercados</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">9. On the Border</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">10. Papacitas</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">11. Posados</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">12. Salsaritas</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">13. El Lugar</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">14. The Jalapeno Tree</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">15. Chuy's........</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The list goes on and on! Out of those 15 I can honestly say I only like 2, Chuy's and Don Juans. What about you? Are you crazy for Tex Mex or do you think we need some variety here!</span><br />
