Hope everyone had a fun and festive 4th of July. Here’s a special Independence Day shout-out to our girl Sandra Bullock. Her divorce from he whose name shall not be spoken was finalized last week here in Austin and there have been quite a few Sandra sightings in the capital city lately – driving through for burgers at P. Terry’s, dinner at her restaurant Bess, and shopping at kids clothing boutique Izzy and Ash.

Welcome to Austin Louis! Let’s get you suited up in some Longhorn gear!

Rumor has it you know who is hot on her Louboutin heels, but not to worry Sandra. We in Austin won’t mistake “having your back” for stabbing you in it. Don’t mess with Texas.

And it’s movie premiere time…….Predators debuts Wednesday night at the Paramount! Adrien Brody fans get psyched! Maybe you’ll get a kiss like Halle Berry did at the Oscars. Okay….maybe not, but it’s something to aspire to!

Happy star gazing!

Well, it is official. Sandra Bullock has filed for divorce from he whose name shall not be spoken in Travis County. Could be to get away from the media circus in Hollywood…..could be that it is so she won’t have to pay spousal support for a divorce granted in Texas, could be the bountiful supply of Shiner Bock, could be all of the above. And just when I thought I could keep up, news breaks that she adopted a baby boy 3 months ago, right in the middle of awards season…..AND she was able to keep it a secret! That is pretty amazing. Louis Bardo Bullock is a beautiful little boy and hopefully will bring her a lot of happiness. Congrats Sandra!

And speaking of babies…….Lance Armstrong is expecting his fifth child! He alluded to it last week when he started following CincoArmstrong on Twitter….”I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and i’m 2 inches long. See y’all in October.” Lance has three kiddos with former wife Kristin, and this nino cinco will be his second with girlfriend Anna Hanson. Congrats Papa Lance! Your own personal peleton!

I am so disgusted and upset by the recent news of Sandra’s woes it took me a while to even write something about it. I just don’t get it. It is so shocking. Here she is being lauded for her work and really acknowledged for all her success, and seeming to be at the top of her game in her career and above all truly happy and content in her personal life. Then he whose name shall not be mentioned has to go and ruin it all. JERK! Ugh!! It really is just so wrong.

Nothing we can do but root for Sandra and show her some support. So I decided I would just show our girl some love by doing what I do best- -eating!!

And fortunately for me she has 2 establishments here in Austin where I can do just that and give her a shout-out and show my support.  There is Bess Bistro on Pecan, a charming place with a great atmosphere, yummy drinks, and a tempting menu , and Walton’s Fancy and Staple, right across the street. Walton’s is part deli, part bakery, part flower shop, and part general store all in one. I adore this place!  While I was there I picked up some of Aunt Luddy’s  White Trash Deep South Mix. YUM! Thanks for the sugar rush, Sandra. I like your style!

WE LOVE YOU SANDRA!!!!!
