One of my all-time favorite musicals has come to Broadway, and Harry Potter is the lead! I squealed like a thirteen-year old at a Bieber concert when I heard the news on the radio.

This post is just a photo blog about some of the things I love about Summer...

The world cries.

(Reuters) - Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams was found dead on Monday from an apparent suicide at his home in Northern California, Marin County Sheriff's Office said. He was 63.   Full Story. 

The sheriff's coroner's division said it suspects the death was a suicide due to asphyxia, but the cause of death is still under investigation.

"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken," Williams's wife Susan Schneider said in a statement.

The whole world lost today. To me, he was a long lost uncle who I had heard all about and seen home movies of. His comic and artistic acting went beyond the usual haha. He had depth, even among laughter. What Dreams May Come is one of my all-time favorite films. He's played a dirty old man, kids trapped in adult bodies, a genie, a doctor and even a woman, among other memorable characters!

Williams, who introduced his frenetic style on late 1970s TV series "Mork & Mindy" and had struggled with addiction in the past, had entered a Minnesota rehabilitation center last month to help him maintain sobriety.

It devastates me that things get to this point for so many. People are forced to fake a smile to get through the day. I feel more and more determined with each press release about suicide, people lost from depression or bipolar disorder. It pains me that he could not keep going. It pains me that so many were ignorant to his struggles.

In my darkest and most lonely hours, I would watch What Dreams May Come and be convinced that  there was someone, out there, who would face the depth of hell to save my soul.

I wish I could check with the boatman on the River Styx and confirm that Robin has made it home.
Our final prayer for him is to hope he's found peace.

What Robin Williams Movie are you watching today to celebrate his life?

It's no surprise that Texas has the strangest weather patterns. August is infamous everywhere to bring gnats, flies, sunburn and heatstroke.

Texas has shockingly (and excitedly) woken up to rain and beautifully windy 75 degree averages this week.

In appreciation of the weather changes, I thought I would throw this out to the universe in hopes that the weather in the hottest month of the year continues to be windy, rainy and cool.

When I first moved to Texas, one of its most crazy and icy winters ensued. Mike's truck, four wheel drive and all, was sliding and slipping on the glacial asphalt.

This year, I had to call out of work because my breaks were frozen! It's nothing like when I first arrive, asking questions like "Where did all the tumbleweed go?" and "Wait... there are trees here?!"


I have come to enjoy Texas for quite a few, mostly weird, things.

Growing up in Florida, you get used to unexpected weather changes, but nothing like Texas. It's a unique and drastic change.

I can't say it's not an adventure in itself. Here's to martini's and bathing suits and not dying of skin cancer!
