Buffalo burgers
The Cowgirl serves locally raised, nicely treated buffalo. And the best fries in town.
Buffalo burgers + Tequila
It keeps you patient while you wait for your burger.
It makes you even happier when you’re full.

If you’ve met me in person, outside of the Interwebs, then you probably know that I will not leave the house without a few things.
One of these is my Nalgene water bottle. I recently acquired a Nalgene cozy, which is just the coolest thing ever. These ‘Artist Series Water Bottles’ are probably the second coolest.
And, whether you’ve met me in person or among the Interwebs, you have learned that I get
a little carried away with my tequila from time to time. Therefore, these shot glasses would be rather appropriate, don’t you think? Of course, I’d have to be aware of myself enough to figure out which glass would suit me — but that’s another issue.

I dreamt that I got to work and they fired me. I was pissed.
Today, I wake up and think, ‘Would this really be so bad?’

To and from Philly:
Every line at the airport reminds me of the Holocaust. I think of all the shoes being removed and tossed into large piles, to never be seen again.
Maybe I should hop on the next plane to California.

I haven’t even seen the city yet, except for a traffic-filled drive in to the hotel, but I love it so far:
1. Automatic soap dispensers, automatic everything in bathrooms (yes, this is pathetic)
2. Different ethnicities (yay for no more Santa Fe white folks!)
3. Restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, & more restaurants (coming from a waitress, more pathetic)
4. Traffic and noise (yes, I like it)
5. Tall buildings (yes, occasionally I like this too)
6. Hotel bars ($9.50 for a 1/2 inch shot of tequila…what up!?)
7. Public transportation (guess who can’t wait to take the subway!?)
8. Architecture
Sure, sometimes I hate cities. But sometimes…I think I love them.
However, we are just not going to cope with hotel windows that don’t open!
