Jul's Gems

It’s been one of those really great weeks. It started with one of my best friends visiting from New York. I showed her all around Houston, took her to my favorite Mexican restaurant, El Tiempo, and we had a great couple of days. When she left I was non stop busy with projects and writing and lots of work. As much as I love my couch time very much, I absolutely love to stay busy, as well. If I’m having a slower work day, I will force myself to find more to do because I strongly dislike feeling unproductive during the week (that’s what I try to save my weekends for). One of the most satisfying feelings is crossing off items on a longer than normal to-do list. Here are some smaller, enjoyable moments that took place throughout my past week.
