Legally Blonde's Proceedings

I went to Lubbock last weekend. I got there a little after sunset on Friday. Here's the photo I took of the West Texas sunset (taken through my bug splattered windshield)... I went to Lubbock to see my friend Ann and to go to the Tech game on Saturday.  Friday night after I arrived, we went to Cagle's Steaks for dinner.  I was so ready to chow down, I didn't even take a photo! Saturday evening we tailgated with Ann's family and then went to the game.  It was wonderful weather.  Here is some of the pregame action... The Masked Rider... Because it was Homecoming, there were some ex-cheerleaders. See that lady in the front holding flowers? She is 90 years old and moments before this photo was taken, she amazed us all when she DID THE SPLITS!  We saw her in the restroom at half time and told her she was awesome.  She said she was mad because some of the guys had tried to help her up and she "didn't need any help!". Raider Red... The band with flag...

Today's a big football game.  No, not UT & OU's Red River Rivalry at the state fair.  Texas A&M has traveled to Lubbock for one last match-up. If you will recall, I went to College Station for last year's Tech game...  Sadly, we lost.  But I got to go with some of my Aggie friends.  Side note here:  As a result of A&M not having a law school, the bulk of my best friends are Aggies!  Anyway, my friend Abby & I had discussed going to Lubbock for the game.  But between kids, dogs, school, jobs, and life, we just didn't get it planned.  Problem is, we didn't realize that A&M was defecting to the SEC after this year and this would be our last match-up (at least for a while)!  Now we are so super sad to not be in the Hub City for the big game tonight. We (Lola & I) are all ready for it.  We will be participating in the Black Out at the Jones in spirit from the living room tonight, and are really ho...
