April In The Burbs

A few weeks ago, I happened into a very lovely little Twitter Party being hosted by iVillage & wouldn't you know it - I had a ton of fun & even ended up winning the grand prize, which was a $1000 AmEx gift card.  "Score!" Is of course, what you're thinking. And yes, there is a ton I could do with this money.  Like: pay off old hospital bills, get Malibu Stacey Deuce worked on, make a huge payment on Hubs' credit card.  But no .  If you actually thought I would do any of that with this money - you clearly don't know me very well. I DO want to spend this money - mainly on myself. Yes, selfish a bit. Then again it is free money that I won & I never get to spend money on myself & not feel guilty for it.  I don't need to justify my spending habits to you ! See? I have my reasons ! Hubs supports me in my choice to spend this cash however I see fit, but I did want to buy him at least one cool thing. His request ...

Lovely views of Austin and the Keep Austin Weird Fest 5K stage from the The Long Center's VIP Balcony.  Plenty of shade & a nice cool breeze.  I really loved this place, can't you tell ?  Me & Mommyson doing it up right VIP style, baby! Then we headed down to get some yummy Amy's Ice Cream & handcut fries to die for from The Upper Decks in Austin. Eating those yummy fries ! This was cool, there was Vitamin Water for free, yay !  Mommyson enjoying the comfy VIP couch. A view from the VIP Long Center Balcony.  Can you tell we spent a ton of time in the VIP area ? It was nice because it was all shaded, free foods, free drinks, freebies in general & a nice cool breeze.  Thanks to Mommyson for attending the 10th Annual Keep Austin Weird Fest !  Want to keep up with more of my random adventures from around town & beyond ?  Follow me on Tw...

BB's Burgers and More  1615 Grand Ave. Parkway  Pflugerville, TX 78660 (512) 990-3700 She Said... Since we noticed the sign up for BB's a couple of months ago, we've been waiting with baited breath to try this Burger joint out. I liked their decor - very minimalist. You walk in to clean walls, tons of tables, an open grill to the right. This place reminds me of an old fashioned burger place. Straightforward, no unneeded frills. I ordered a hamburger with mustard & pickles only, fries & a drink. Although they initially got my burger wrong, putting American cheese on it instead of mustard, the problem was quickly (within 30 seconds) rectified & I was back off to my table to enjoy my lunch. I really liked the flavor to this burger. I mean yes, it was juicy, the bun was toasted which is always a plus, but the main thing I noticed about my burger was that I could taste the salt & pepper season...
