NARBC 2014 // Popcorn


Alright, so yesterday was one of those super-fantastic days that had it rained would have been perfect.

  • I got to sleep in.
  • I had a Peanut Butter smoothie (aka Nectar of the Gods...seriously) from Smoothie King for Breakfast.  I've never tried anything else from Smoothie King because I just can't pass this one up when I go in there.
  • Matthew and I went to the NARBC show (North American Reptile Breeder's Conference).  The NARBC is the "big show" in Texas that comes around twice a year on a Saturday and Sunday in Arlington.  There's a smaller one ( that comes around every couple of months that we're going to this coming Saturday (October 4th).  I debated and debated on taking my DSLR to the NARBC show, but knowing that it was going to be packed and that I was looking to get something, I decided that I'd take it to the smaller show in October instead.  As you can see from the photo above, I came home with the prettiest little Albino Ball Python!  Her name is Popcorn and I. Am. In. Love!!!  
  • We had lunch at Hooter's and I had their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich.  That thing is amazing.  Seriously, I would kill for that thing.
  • I came home and set Popcorn up in her new home, and gloated over how pretty she is.  
  • I took a much needed nap.  It's amazing how lots of excitement will wear you out and make you sleepy.  I never take naps, but I was pooped.
  • I woke up in time to catch the mid-season finale of Outlander.  It's quickly become one of my new favorites, and I ordered the hardback of book one after the episode.  I have a feeling that I'm going to tear through those books and finish the entire series in no time!
Have you ever been to a Reptile Expo?

  1. Popcorn is v.pretty and has an awesome name ;) I had no idea you could even get snakes that colour (my reptile knowledge is pretty much non-existent, I clearly need to go to an expo)!

    1. It's truly amazing how many different color morphs and combos they come in. I may plan on sharing a few of my favorites in an upcoming post!

  4. I heard about Outlander at San Diego Comic Con and also bought the first book there. I started reading it right away, but had trouble getting into it. Then page 200 came and I haven't looked back! The show closely follows the book, which I really like. I cannot wait to finish the book and move on to the 2nd. Just wish the show's break wasn't until April!!!
