Here’s a shot from the Omani dinner last night.
Our host is in the apricot blouse to my left. I am fully convinced that she is Superwoman. Not only did she cook everything we ate and fed about 50 of us, she also happens to be a Rhodes Scholar, has her two lovely daughters with her here in the states who are 2 and 4, is keeping up with all the work we have, and looks this lovely every single day.
I am totally in awe of her.
Oh, and fun fact: I think I’ve mentioned before that my MBA class is truly international. There are 210 students and 53 nationalities represented. I’m one of two Americans in this photo. :)
For Esme.
In one of my favorite areas of Austin.
Traditional Omani Dinner made by Sheika. Was so amazing! (Taken with instagram)

The mariachi singer was hell-bent on spitting game.
“You can’t have my number because I have too much homework.”
“Then, I’ll sing and it will help you finish your homework.”
ha! (Taken with Instagram at El Potro)

So these are all the assignments I have due outside of class and reading in one month. Trying to not freak out. (Taken with instagram)
Esme Barrera's Murderer and Serial Attacker Identified
This was the best news I could have gotten today. Esme’s killer has been found, connected to alot of other attacks and that coward killed himself.
I wish he would have had to live with this for the rest of his life and stand trial, but in a cruel twist of fate, they may have never found him if he hadn’t done this. And Austin’s streets are much safer.
Hopefully now, Esme’s family will have closure and she may rest in peace.
Somebody sent this to me today for my birthday.
It’s the best.
My friend sent me this today.
I love it.
This interview was BY FAR the funniest thing I’ve seen on television in a really long time last night.
Last night: Maurice Sendak on Colbert Pt. 1
Tonight: Terry Gross and Maurice Sendak (Pt 2) on Colbert (
possiblyprobably not also featuring Vin Diesel)

Beautiful.
“Shot on Fire Island, New York, this film (4min. 23 sec) captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer turns 95 but still remains resolutely independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old. Made by Julia Warr, artist and film maker met Maia on a plane 4 years ago and became utterly convinced by the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which Maia perfected, together with her Mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were ever invented. (2011)”
Now THIS is for real.
“I’m on a bike, so I’ll just meet you guys there.”
It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.
