The title of this blog comes from yet another funny misspelling of my name. I visited a school w/ a family this week and had to get a visitor pass. After handing over my D.L., for the sake of safety, they print me out that name "Clark Rouch". Yep, that's first and last name!
In other news, I've had quite the roller coaster week. I've seen many doors open and now I'm overwhelmed by that! I hope things will be clear(er) after one more meeting on Tuesday to either close the deal or walk away.
My first month of contract work went well. I'm enjoying that and will enjoy it even more Sept. 15th when I get paid for the first time. Gotta pay for the new wheels!
The Civic was in for a little paint job this week. I missed my little ride! It only took $34 to fill 'er up!
Gots to go. My head hurts from thinkin'. Must go to IKEA ;)

cha-cha-changes
The past week has blown by. I was so tired after my LONG flight situation from NYC. We've been having mucho car issues...Willy's car was not worth the money to fix bc of labor prices so we took a venture to Carmax Friday night. A few hours later we drove away in a little white Honda Civic. I am SoooOOOoooOOoo excited to be in a small fuel efficient ride! Come October I might not be as excited to pay the car note, but I will definitely be enjoying the ride!
In other news, a possible opportunity has come about and literally fallen at my doorstep. Its not a for sure thing at this point but it seems possible. I am not sure how I feel about it all, but with current debts that continue to get paid down way too slowly, I am not sure it would be wise to say no to something new. I still feel weird and have mixed emotions and in my usual way am obsessing a bit about it all. Hopefulluy by end of week or beginning of next I will know which direction to go. Say a prayer for wisdom!
Peace out.

ode to LGA
You suck.
You're small.
Your A/c is busted and a small smelly man is standing in front of the only fan.
Your sandwichs are $8, surely bc your flights are always delayed.
Your runways congested. I had to sit on your crappy dirty floors for 5 hours being trammpled.
I hope I will leave you soon. Once again, you suck!

last days in the Big Apple
Yesterday we relaxed some having walked so much the days before. We went to the MoMA and to get in some culture. Very neat. Then we stopped by Whole Foods and got some deli items to take to Central Park for a picnic and a nap on a blanket for a few hours. Then we hit an independent movie theater in the village to see "Encounters at the end of the earth.".
Today we went to a hospital bc Mari has surgery next week and her pre-op appt. Then we had a New York style slice of pizza and a Beard Papa cream puff. After that we went to Forest Park area in Queens which is beautiful free standing homes with yards. If you didn't know you were in NYC, you'd think you were in the suburbs of Chicago or Dallas.
Off to Dallas tonight. It will be good to get home!

more fun times in NYC
Avenue Q last night was fabulous! See it if you can...I hope hope hope it comes back to Dallas/Ft Worth so I can see it again. Puppet nudity and sex combined with inappropriate humor is a perfect combination!
Today was a morning in Central Park, walking then followed by boating. Then it was off to Shake Shake to stand in line for 40 minutes for a well worth it burger. Its located in Madison Square Park and literally is just a small stand, but a great treat! After that we took off for the Brooklyn bridge. We walked across it into Brooklyn, visited Mari's temple, roamed the streets...it looked like an episode out of the Cosby show with the brown brick townhomes...very cute! Then we ate famous Grimaldi's coal oven Brooklyn style pizza and a stop at Brooklyn's ice cream shop for homemade ice cream. I think we literally walked about 6 hours today bc we would walk an hour or two at a time. I am so sore and my poor feet have a few blisters :(
2 more days...it will be good to be home but I'll miss the. city!
Peace. I'll be back in the Texas heat soon!

i heart NYC
It's been awhile since I blogged! I've had trainings for work and lots of new clients as well as putting out my back a few weeks ago. And now, drumroll, my first real vacation in YEARS! By real I mean not seeing extended family for a particular occasion...
So I am in NYC visiting a college friend. I wish Willy was here, but truth be told, a lot of things we have done are "girly" and better enjoyed by female friends. Here's what we've done so far...I am decreeing it is a week of indulgences!
Dylans candy shop
Serendipity's (mmmm frozen hot chocolate)
Outdoor movie on Roosevelt Island
Rode the tram (yea spider man scene)
Pedicures
Shoe shopping
Natural Science Museum scavenger hunt
Sat outside drinking martinis for 3 hours last night
Walked and walked and walked
Museum of Sex (heather, there was a whole section on the history of porn and I thought of you!)
Tonight is Avenue Q. I am so in heaven. I really wish I could liv e here, but I could only imagine how tough that would be to manage! I do love New York though!
Tomorrow we are going to walk the Brooklyn bridge and then get Brooklyn pizza as well as walk central park and get Shake Shack burger (suppossedly the #2 burger in the country) and picnic. Later in the week we'll go to MoMA and get a street vendor lunch. I am sure Mari has a lot more planned. I just said I am here for the ride and to pick some fun places and she sure has! There's been so much good food but I think I am completely burning it off with walking and millions of stairs throughout the subway. My body hurts!
More to come. I wish some of you could join me here :)
