wow...got out of the house this weekend...

it seems like every weekend lately ryan has been on call...which means no fun for us...i was bummed to hear i wouldn't be able to make it to fiesta because ryan is on call...and i was bummed to hear i wouldn't be able to go to the main street arts fest in fort worth because he was on call...so i was happily surprised when ryan told me a guy was going to cover for him sunday so we could go out there...yay...our weekend started off crazy as usual (at least as crazy as you can get in a 20 mile radius)...first we started off by trying some thai food at a place around the corner...we decided we both like thai but we definitely want to try it some place else (our food was not very fresh and my chicken was super dry, though i have to say the peanut sauce was the BOMB) then we headed out to go tv shopping...ryan had finally decided on cheap versus top notch high tech...of course once we actually got to looking at cheap i wasn't thrilled with how cheap cheap seemed...lol...so we went to 3 different stores looking for a tv that would fit the bill...we came close one time (but we were shut down by the manager at best buy...hey, i can't help it if they had marked the wrong one down at a discounted price)...so we went home tvless...(bedroom tvless...not living room tvless or i would have passed out from lack of tv watching)...saturday i made ryan and ashlyn get out and about while i cranked up the radio and decided to clean the whole house top to bottom...do you know how much more you can get accomplished when you're not constantly interrupted every 5 minutes??!!! wow...it was heaven...ryan called later to see if it was safe to come home (i literally kicked them out...hey, i'm cranky...so sue me) and put ashlyn on the phone...she had something important to say..."mom, i want to get my ears pierced"...wow....hmmmm....okaaaaay....i guess we'll talk about it more when we get home...ryan was sweating bullets thinking i would say okay and he would then have to take her...however tempting that was i decided it would be best to wait just a bit to make sure it's what she really wants...so they finally came home to a freshly swept, mopped, dusted and cleaned house...we sat around for awhile...ate dinner and then decided to go grocery shopping...(um, what's up with cilantro lately...all of the cilantro i've seen lately has been all wilty and crap...or non-existant...central market informed us yesterday that they had sold out of cilantro...how do you sell out of cilantro...??? don't make me start going to fiesta...i KNOW they have lots of cilantro there) anyhoo...that was pretty much it...on the way home i decided i wanted some beer since ashlyn had fallen asleep in the car and i knew we'd be up for awhile watching a movie...dos equis got the call that night....we popped in american gangster (reminded me of new jack city meets blow) and sat back and relaxed...obviously i relaxed a tad bit too much because after 3 beers (yes, just 3 beers ladies and gentlemen...hey...i rarely ever drink) i passed smooth out...i don't remember how i got to bed...i woke up in the middle of the night not knowing where i was or how i had gotten there...lol...it was sad really...so then sunday morning it was off to d and m's...slavedriver don had marty out there shoveling rock...lol...probably scarring her for life...(inside joke)...we finally peeled them away from work and got them out and about on the town...we headed out to funky town and spent the majority of the day out at the arts fest...we say all kinds of random stuff (and i mean all kinds...from the wierd, to the awesome...from cereal to tamales...from pena to a cop i used to date..**that's a whole nother story in itself...and the fact that i thought pena was a woman was a nice laugh for everyone as well)...it made for a really nice day...and i was so happy to be getting out and doing something instead of the same old day to day grind...we had a great time talking and hanging out...we found out, by doing some serious soul searching, that we are all "scarred for life"...but in the end...we all ended up okay...well...some people think i'm a little nutty..but that's beside the point...too bad...no pictures on this one...maybe my next purchase should be a new point and shoot....
