YEE HAW!!! Wow! I didn't plan it like that, but my whole weekend was like I was a country girl! For those that don't know, I grew up in Mesquite. Some make fun of Mesquite and Skeeterland!!! But it still holds a special place in my heart. I still remember places being fields instead of shopping or whatever! I still remember in one of my first college classes someone asked where I was from and I said Mesquite and they seriously asked if I owned a horse? Really?!? Anyways, when I was younger it was a good place to live. Now well sometimes I get kinda scarred! So I took my mom to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo!!! I know, you are wondering if I wore wranglers, boots, chaps and spurs! No they were in the cleaners. Instead I wore a blue jean skirt. Closest I could get to country!
My brother and sister-in-law decided to come with my mom and I. I was kinda surprised and then when we walked in I felt bad for my sis n law. I smelled tons of cow poooo so I figured if she was 9 months pregnant it would be worse, but she was a trooper! I also ran into another old Mesquite friend and fellow Aggies! Melvin and Allison Thathiah. There daughter Tayrn was also there! I think I want her to ride the sheep next year and rock it for 8 seconds!!! :) I thought it was funny that we are at the rodeo and a song is playing on the PA system. Whoop there is Whoop there is! It is like instead of country dancing during breaks we are going to do the bump and grind... Just odd!
I took a bunch of pictures of the cowboys in their wranglers for all the girls, but well my computer said my blackberry was trying to give it a virus and refused to download the pictures??? No telling!
Well Saturday.....
My friend Kimberly is an attorney in Dallas and was invited to a party at the House of Blues and Radney Foster was playing. The party was pretty much all attorneys or those that work in law firms. We were expecting some pretty cute men, but we were sad that wasn't the case! :( Not to say there wasn't any there.... Just didn't see them from our area. We did enjoy the people watching! It was very very interesting watching everyone! I wish I could change careers and just study people's interactions and talk about it. Well I kinda do that now huh??? Anyways, we were bummed that the band came on late but there was this other band there before hand that was OK but they played random music. We had some yummy El Fenix before hand. So see more country...
Yee Haw!!!! Again no boots.... You know I only own my lace up ropers from when I was in the 8th grade. Shae if you are reading this... we so rocked them in our 8th grade BBB pictures in our country wear! yea, we were retarded! Those pictures should never be shared with anyone EVER!!! Well back to the topic at hand. I had a great time with Kimberly and catching up with one another!
Sunday....
My friend, Susan, came into Dallas from NYC for a weekend trip. Everytime I think of her in NYC, I think of the Pace Picante commercial, NEW YORK CITY get a rope! But no! I love Susan and love her stories of all the fun and great things she does each and every week!!! We both heard about this place called La Grange in Deep Ellum in Dallas that had spiked snowcones, or the fancy way of saying it Snowcones with Spirits. I had cocunut with rum. It was super good and refreshing. It was like 150 degrees in Dallas on Sunday!! (slight exaggeration) Anyways, the Bachelor girls all got together!!! Me, Susan, Worley, Michelle, and Brooke!!! Awww.... we had such a good time with each other and talking and sharing! Love them!!! And they crack me up that they love trashy reality TV like the Bachelor Pad. Seriously, I am praying for them right now. ;-) La Grange had a country theme to it. We had fancy queso, quesodillas and asparagus. This is KOUNTRY for Dallas right?!?
I just want to share to all those that are reading this blog.... If you have had too many spiked snowcones, do not I repeat do not put a scarf around your head and pee in your pants. Because well the guy that we saw did just that! Then I was stupid and tried to have a conversation with him b/c I got caught staring at him. Should have thought, he is drunk, he doesn't care if I am staring, I don't need to be friendly and talk to him.
Seriously, I was looking for a piece of hay all weekend to chew on the side of my mouth the entire time. Yee haw!
Adios! Until next time! The girls told me I need to do better about this blog so I will at least do another one soon. Considering last one was in February. But go to the February contact and see snow! This might make you feel cooler in this dang heat of Texas! Smiles to all!
