Computers and The Lone Star State.

My computer really stinks. I'm not sure why...maybe it's too old? All I know is that it takes me forever to log onto my Chatline, and when I'm there, it is touch and go whether or not I can actually go live! Apparently some of you aren't seeing me there...because my site still says "I'm not here." What the hell? It really frustrates me. Because I want to talk to you all out there. Over the past few weeks, I've developed friendships and I'm really enjoying my time online chatting. UGH!!!

Oh well...I have to contact someone over there at ebizwebpages to get this straightened out. I'm missing out more than you are!

So I was in Texas last week and weekend. Austin and then San Antonio. I was meeting some of my friends out there. It was the first time I've ever been to Texas. Yee haw...it was fun. The San Antonio Riverwalk is beautiful. I wish that Philadelphia had something like it. Though it did get a bit boring walking around the same four loops over and over. Either way...I ate a TON of delicious Mexican food (margaritas included). It was ridiculously hot...90 degrees every day, despite the fact that October is supposed to be the best time of year to visit.

One story...
We were driving around (lost as usual), those access roads down there are CONFUSING! And we kept pulling off the highway and turning around, then turning around again...
Anyway...we were sitting on the side of an access road trying to figure out where we were going...when a truck pulls up along side us, and some tall dark Texan gets out and walks towards our rental car. Ok. We're from Philly. When a car pulls up next to you, you lock your doors and roll up your windows, right?? Well, this guy actually said that he saw us looking confused and turning around over and over again, and HELPED US WITH DIRECTIONS!! Can you even believe it? If I wasn't on my way to an event with my girlfriends...I may have just taken that sweet Texan back to my hotel and given him a proper Southern Thank You...

Maybe I'm in the wrong city? What do you all (or should I say "Y'all") think?

I used to visit Dallas for work. I got lost a few times and there was always a native Texan around willing to help!
