Mardel's Here I Come!

Okay...if you've never been to a Mardel's Christian Store then you have NOT lived a full and complete life yet! But, do not fear...your chance has finally arrived. The Mardel's in Cedar Park has FINALLY arrived! These outdo any other christian bookstore by a landslide in both selection & price. They are owned by the same company as Hobby Lobby. I grew up with one in OK and was very spoiled then. But that time has come again...I am so very happy about it. My mom & I will be hitting it 7am on Friday! It's in the 1890 Ranch Shopping Center on 1431 just off of 183A.

They have everything from children's book, fiction, bible, dvds, cds, and TONS of educational resources for both school teachers and bible school teachers!

My sales pitch is over...trust me...you will NOT regret going!

Home Slice

It's been a very long time since I blogged so here it goes...

Shelley and I have decided to hit some Austin food spots that either neither of us have been to and/or one of has and wants to take the other. The rule is no chains...just good ole' Austin. So Shelley picked me up from work yesterday for lunch and we first went to Home Slice Pizza.

It's located just south of the river off of Congress. Okay, so there's pizza and there is PIZZA! This might be the best pizza I've ever had, but regardless it definately ranks up there on the list. It's so good that there is always a line of people waiting for it to open. It opens at 11:30, but Shelley assured me we needed to get there early...so we did and we weren't the first...by 11:15 there was a huge line. In addition to the great pizza, it's small inside, so if you want to sit at a table, arrive early! Anyway...really yummy.

And then we topped it off with cupcakes from a trailer! Yes....a trailer! It's called Hey Cupcake and is out of a trailer just down the road from Home Slice on Congress.

I would recommend eating the Michael Jackson cupcake...chocolate on the bottom, white on the top!!! Cracked me up...but it was really good. But might I recommend taking off the cupcake wrapper first? I swear you couldn't tell it had one, it was the craziest thing...needless to say, I was glad it was just my sister and not a man I'm trying to impress!

I'll try to be good and blog about the places Shell & I go but I give 2 thumps up to Home Slice & Hey Cupcake!
