That time we got our waiter fired, Erica rode a bull and a very sad goodbye.

Alright, I'm back. I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed with my new position at work and photography lately so my poor little blog has taken the back seat. I hope to be back in full swing soon.

Let's finish up the blate post shall we?

I guess I'll start this post out with something awesome.

Please ignore my annoying voice and laugh. I was crying I was laughing so hard. Girlfran got it goin' on...and you'll def. hear me say, "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Thanks, E! :)



Alright, so let me rewind back to Saturday morning. I started us out with a good ol' Texas breakfast.



After breakfast, we got dressed and headed to The Domain to do some shopping. We shopped til' we dropped, chatted, had lunch, and then headed back home to get dressed for the evening.

After getting all showered and dolled up, we headed to The Oasis for dinner.



We got there just in time for sunset and settled in with a few drinks while we waited for a table.



Our buzzer finally went off, so we danced our way to the dining area and were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant.

And we set. And we set. And we set some more.

5 min. 10 min. STILL no service. I wasn't really paying much attention at the time because we were all talking and having a good time, but once the 20 minute mark went by and NOBODY had came to our table yet...I started to REALLY look around.

This story is as close to what I can rememeber from the night. It may not be word for word, but it's pretty stinkin' close.

No chips. No salsa. No water. No waiter.

Hmmmm.

A few moments later, a "Dude" comes up right behind me and says, "Whaaaat's uppp, how you fine ladies doin' night?"

I remember thinking, "IS this our waiter? This can't be for real..."

We all looked at each other thinking it was funny for a millisecond until we got a better look at him.

Yep. Dude is our waiter. Lucky us.

DUDE was Stoned with a capital "S" out of his mind. Not only was he STONED, he was totally on something else...and it was blatantly OBVIOUS.

I glanced behind me and noticed that his other tables were not happy whatsoever with him and were having other staff members help them.

Dude says, "Aight y'all, I'll brb with some chips and salsa."

Me: "Can we get a queso too? We have to be out of here by 9 because we have a show downtown."

Drew Drew Hot Pants: "Hey man, can we also please get another drink each??"

Dude: "Yeah man, sure man, I'll be right back." Then he proceeds to repeat the order THREE times.

He sounded like Matthew Mcconaughey all Dazed and Confused style.

5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes...

I see another waiter and ask him to bring us our chips and salsa, etc. etc.

Keep in mind, we got there at 7:30 and had to be gone by 9:20 in order to make our show downtown at 10.

It's about 8:40 and we still had not ordered our food yet.

Dude comes back and we had to remind him about our queso and drink orders. He brings them in about 5 minutes. Good job Dude.

Dude disappears, again. So, we all decide the queso, salsa and chips would hold us over for the night and decided we needed to leave really soon.

Dude comes back, and we tell him that we need our check and he doesn't understand.

Dude: "You haven't even ordered your food. What can I get you?"

Drew Drew Hot Pants: "No man, we just need the check."

Sabrina says a couple of funny one liners and I just let the guy have it.

Me: "Seriously? You've taken way too long Dude. We need our check and we need it now. You haven't helped us all night and we have had to have other waiters help us because you haven't remembered anything we've told you or ordered. We need the check now!"

Dude proceeded to not hear me and says, "Ah, man yeah man just please don't tell on me...so what are you ladies doing tonight? Why the rush?"

He hits on Sabrina and then Sabrina tells him that we need to go because we are going to Esther's Follies downtown."

Dude: "Are y'all going to the music festival? Heh heh heh?"

Me: "No, we are going to Esther's Follies and 6th street. Check!"

Dude: "Oh come on, y'all want some goods? I know how it is, I get it. Y'all want to party? I got some molly's (had to google this term because I had no idea what it was), I got coke, I got this...I got that." He just starts rattling these hard drugs off and our eyes got HUGE. WHATTTTTTT?

Sabrina, Me and Drew: "NO!!!, we need our check. That's not our thing man. We just need our check."

Dude: "Oh come on, just tell me what you need and I got it. I got-"

You should have seen our faces. Did our waiter seriously just offer us HARD drugs? Seriously?

Dude: "Oh come on y'all...Look...

Me: "CHECK now. Look dude, you're not getting a tip. This has been the worst service I have ever, EVER had. I'm here treating my friends from out of state and I'm truly embarrassed that you're here representing this restaurant and my state like this. I wanted to show them a nice night out to dinner and you have ruined it. CHECK NOW."

Y'all I didn't know whether to laugh, get mad, or what. We were all just stunned.

Dude: "You don't have to give me a tip, that's fine. Just please don't tell on me."

Me: "Okay, we need to go. Check please!?"

Then Dude and his drugs got mad.

Dude: "S%$#! I made 40K last week. This is just my job to pay all my child support. (Can't believe this man was allowed to pro-create. POOR KIDS!) and this place is $%!@#( and man, EFF this place. I don't give a *@$@#( about this place. I DON'T NEED THIS JOB. Bibble babble bibble babble BOOSH$%@!"

All of us: "CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He finally leaves and I see a Head Waiter walk by. We tell him what happened and the guy was in shock. He apologized and the manager came up immediately. The manager was so mad, poor guy. Can't say I blame him. Regardless, the manager came back and assured us the problem was handled and needless to really say...DUDE got himself fiiiiiiiiiired. (fah-ired) Haha.

I felt sort of bad to tell you the truth...but y'all had to have been there. Dude was GONE. I can just pray for him. That restaurant did not deserve to have someone high on drugs like that. It was completely ridiculous! And a little funny...

The best part?

Erica says, "Well look at it this way...atleast it's good blog material!"

Love that girl. Hahahaha.

Anyway, sorry for the book.

We make our way downtown with chips, salsa and queso in our bellies and go to Esther's Follies. Such a fun show!!!! We even got pictures with them afterwards.



We went to 6th street and had ourselves a blast. We took pictures with strangers, and watched a very drunk lady ride a bull before Erica. Lady was wastedddddddddd. I missed the best part too. At the end, she fell face first over the side and then hops up, puts her sloppy hands in the air and everyone screams. It was hysterical. I can't even fathom what her hangover was going to feel like the next day...or three.

I bet you watch this video more than once.


I'm seriously so sad we didn't get her falling over the edge.

We met some really nice Canadians too. Like, SO nice. We had a rated G dance party with them. I mean how often is it that guys you meet, come up and introduce themselves, and seriously just dance together in a circle? They were sooooo respectful and didn't try to dance all up on our messes. It was very refreshing to say the least. Oh, and the best part is that I think they loved Andrew more than us girls. Haha. No, they weren't gay. JUST super nice and friendly. Love me some Canadians now! Sabrina was going to get a tattoo on the inside of her lip again that said "HOWDY" but after the price they wanted her to pay, she said, "HOW-bout-no-DY.":)

We got home super late, crashed out, and Drew got us some kolaches and donuts the next morning.

I was feeling good, high on happiness...and then...and then...

I saw this.

The only day I use my camera. Shame, shame.


Our time together was closing in on us and fast. It made me so sad. Furlee wouldn't get off of Sabrina's suitcase. It was so stinkin' cute. He didn't want her to go either. :(

My boys fell in love.



Can you really blame them though? Hotties!

Andrew took a few pics for us and then we went to Mount Bonnell.



Corny? You know it! :)



I thought I'd just share with you my future home ... ;)


I really needed muh shades. Lacking cool factor big time here. Haha.


After Mount Bonnell, we went downtown to find souvenirs for Erica and Sabrina. We walked around 6th street again (a completely different place during the day) and acted like typical (AWESOME) bloggers.

How does she do that??????


I think Texas looks good on them. What do you think?




On our way back to the car, we stopped back by the bull so Erica could say her goodbyes.

"Come back soon Erica...", it says.

We met up with Sabrina's friend Jason at the Red Porch downtown. I had never been there before, but it was such a fun place! We got 5 different appetizers because we're cool like that, and had one last drink together. :(

Cheers, ladies. It makes me sad right now just typing this next part.

Knowing that their flights were so stinkin' close made me tear up a few times. I really wanted to turn my car around and head back to my house and hold them captive...but I'm not a crazy lady and I am sure their lover boys wouldn't be very happy with me. ;)

The worst part of the trip was the airport. I had to hold myself together watching them get their bags out of my trunk because I'm super emotional 99% of the time ;) So, I just took pics instead so I could hide my sadness behind my lens. I sure do love these girls. They are wonderful ladies, and I am so so so so blessed that I had the opportunity to share an amazing weekend with them.



Y'all come back soon now, ya hearrrr!? :)

Best weekend, ever.

Oh, and P.s.) SAY NO TO DRUGS.

Go Blog or Go Home: Blog Loves Unite!

This was the motto of our weekend.

GO BLOG. OR. GO HOME. (Sabrina is a clever one I tell you.)

We went BIG Blog.

I can't believe I haven't blogged much lately!??? Life is so getting in the way. So much to do, so little time.

As most of you know...or SHOULD know...Sabrina and Erica came to Texas to visit me last weekend.



I cannot even begin to explain how MUCH I ADORE these ladies. They were SO much fun and I enjoyed every.minute.we.spent.together...whether that be hanging out on the couch, teasing our hair, strolling the aisles of H-E-B and dancing with a Sun Drop (for you Rissy, of course), eating, shopping, getting our waiter fired and of course getting crunk on 6th street.

This past weekend was amazing for so many reasons. Mostly because I made two blog friends turn into legit REAL LIFE friends. I feel blessed to have met them, and even more blessed that they chose my hometown to visit.

I miss them so much already and cannot wait until we meet again.

Alright, so I am probably about to let you down...

I pretty much, kind of...didn't take that many pictures! I KNOW!!!!!!!! I can't believe it either. WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING!? Oh...I wasn't. That's right. Please don't hate me.

I snapped alot of iphone pics and I took pictures of our last day together. But the rest of the time I was too occupied in just spending time with these two ladies. HOWEVER...Don't you worry. Erica and Sabrina took a lot of pictures so I am confident they will have amazing posts!

I suck. I know. I SUCK BIG ones right now.

So, let's talk about our weekend shall we?

On Thursday I worked for a bit, and then got off early so I could meet this lady at the airport. I was just a little nervous...okay, A LOT nervous. I stood at the terminal waiting for her to come down. As I stood there (looking like freakin' Waldo) and stood there and watched some crazy lady scream this little boys name over and over (must have been a long gap of being apart for these two)...It was then I saw a little red light from Sabrina's flip cam coming down the escalator. Then I saw a wave and big beautiful smile coming at me.

We hugged, and I instantly knew this was going to be a wonderful weekend!

Besides me getting lost (haha, so typical of me) we made it to my house where Andrew greeted us. Piper and Furlee did too... :) I had craft night with my babies and they wore shirts that said, "I LOVE SABRINA" and "I LOVE ERICA!"

We went and ate at Mighty Fine Burger and then went to the Halloween store and tried on silly hats and costumes because for a minute we thought it would be funny to pick up Erica in a gorilla and banana costume. (Sad to report that this did not happen). We then went to JoAnne's fabrics to get supplies to make a sign for Erica's arrival on Friday, and then ended up at Specs to get some refreshments.

We went back to the house and made sweatshirts that said, "Go Blog or Go Home." A quick little phrase Sabrina came up with and it stuck! :)

That evening we went to Baby Acapolcos' to meet with an old friend of Sabrina's. We had some ritas and then went over to her friend Jason's castle house to hang out. A little guitar hero was played, and I was the party pooper who fell asleep on the couch. We got home at about 3 that morning and crashed out.

On Friday, Sabrina and I headed to the airport to pick up Ms. Erica. We made her a sign that said, "HOWDY ERICA!" Hahaha. I know, we are so creative. Hahaha. Erica quickly got acquainted to the Texas heat and look who she met right out of the airport?

It was love at first sight.

We then went to Moonshine downtown to meet with Jenni.

Go blog or go home.
Those purple margaritas didn't settle well with me at all...(I'm terrible at drinking) and wasn't feeling up to par at.all. I tried to hold it together but found myself laying on the bathroom floor...twice. The hostess was in the bathroom with me the first time and I literally just sat there with my hands in my face. She probably thought I was taking a big fat shoo shoo or something. But no, I was doing something even worse...I was laying on the bathroom floor with my eyes closed. I had a migraine that made me want to cry AND the worst part? I didn't even get drunk the night before. My body just sucks and hates alcohol period. I swear I'm allergic.

I took some medicine and started feeling better immediately. Especially when I saw some fries :) Mmmmm get in muh belly.

We took pictures outside...well, everyone BUT me and so here are a few I stole from Jenni's blog.



After we had our blate, we went to South Congress and walked around. We went to Hey Cupcake for a cupcake, went to yet another Halloween store where some cranky employee told us we couldn't take pictures. Um, good thing Sabrina rocked out some turtle spins like Jenna Marbles on the flip cam. We then went to Trader Joe's for some coffee and chit chatted a little bit about how much we love each other, boys, how much we wish Ashley, Rissy, and Raven would have came, and Lord knows what else. THEN we did a little more shopping and a little picture taking.

We were feeling a little tired, so what's the next best thing to do?

Pedicures.

Besides the lady cutting off cutting Sabrina's toe, it was super relaxing. I really enjoyed seeing the massage chairs make their bodies shake haha. My neck fat and boobs were out of control. Good times.

THEN we went to H-E-B to get energy drinks...but found ourselves dancing like hooligans in the aisles of H-E-B to Drop It Like It's Hot.

Erica had her first EVER Dr. Pepper...and SHE LIKED IT! Well, duh. It's the best drink hands down. I'm still amazed how she's gone her whole life without this drug.


We then went home and chillaxed on the couch and chatted/napped a little while. We couldn't decide what we wanted to do that evening, and we didn't know what food sounded good...so, we ended up giving ourselves big Texas hair. You know that saying, "The bigger the hair, the closer to God?" Yep. Did that. Put on blue eye shadow and lipstick. We looked sooo hot.

We sported our poofy hair, our highlighter yellow blogger jackets, and headed to Dave and Busters.



Oh. This guy takes Dance Dance Revolution VERY serious. He brought a towel and gym bag too. Cracked us up.



We went home, watched Project Runway on DVR, fell asleep on the couch and I woke up to just Sabrina and I sleeping. I took my blanket, put it on her, and then went to snuggle up to Drew Drew Hot Pants and his snoring. So lovely, I swear.

I'll stop here for now.

I will post more about the rest of the weekend tomorrow and I'll tell you about how we got our waiter fired.

Xo!
