It's been so crazy around here lately that I've slacked on blogging. Terrible, I know!
Okay, let's start with Friday night. We had the Annual Lookout Software Christmas Party, this year at Texas de Brazil. Kevin and I aren't a couple publicly yet in front of the other employees, so I took Leigh as my date. Everyone else, excluding Kevin, also brought a date and we all had a good time. Leigh and I attacked the salad bar like we hadn't eaten in days and downed enough Freixenet to float the entire restaurant, so you KNOW we had a good time!

The company handed out great gifts to us all -
warm fleece jackets (for employees only) and personal coolers (for everyone) with Lookout Software monograms on them.

Kevin, Ryan and his wife, Niya and her dateAfter dinner Kevin, James and his wife Courtney, Jeremy and his girlfriend Stephanie, Leigh and I went out for drinks. Unfortunately my camera didn't make it out, but I do recall seeing a terrible band at Sambuca and playing quarters at the Loon.
After we closed down the Loon, Kevin tells me that he's taking me somewhere for a "surprise." And I was all like, "Sweetheart, the only 'surprises' open past 2am are restaurants and rave clubs. And neither sound enticing right now."
He ignored my drunken request to go home and drove us to Buzzbrews, this breakfast joint that's attached to a La Quinta and only busy from 2am to 4am on Friday and Saturday nights. It's the same place that I discovered Kevin had gone to on his joy ride with my car at 3am a few weeks ago. And where had he been previous to the joy ride? The Loon. Shocker.
We sat down, got menus, and I promptly told him I did not want to be there, that our bed sounded like a much better place to sober up. And didn't we JUST eat a plate full of meat like three hours ago? He thanked me the next morning for pulling his head out from under a menu full of omelets and pancakes.
Saturday we used our kidless freedom (Shadow was at "camp" - or at least that's what we tell him when he goes to the kennel) to move some things to Granbury. I had hoped a greasy burger at Village Burger Bar would help my hangover, but all it did was make matters worse.
But I pulled myself together later that afternoon and we made it to the Muleshoe vs. Kirbyville State Championship Playoff game at the Gopher Bowl in Grand Prairie just after kickoff. The stands were packed from end to end. I got to see a few old classmates and cheered on the Mules. We left at halftime, but I got text updates from Megan and we won 48-26. For the first time in school history, Muleshoe captured the 2A State Championship title! Go Mules...GATA!
Me, Megan and KaylaAfter we off-roaded through several fields to get out of the cluster-eff called 'parking' we drove up to McKinney to have a small party with some of Kevin's friends - John, Melissa, Holly and Mike. You might remember John and Melissa from our dinner at MiCocina a while back. We all played Rock Band (I'm terrible on the drums, by the way) and had a great time. I'm looking forward to seeing the molestation Christmas Card pictures from Holly's camera. I'll post them as soon as I get a copy.
Sunday, I cooked lunch and we just hung around the apartment. Leigh took me to second-to-last home Cowboys game in Texas Stadium against the Giants that night. Traffic was a NIGHTMARE but we made it in, finally. We were greeted by a 350 pound man wearing a homemade Cowboys cheerleader outfit holding a sign that read, "Tony, will you marry me?" Although whoever fitted him for the bottoms didn't measure right - his 'Joe the Plumber' was in full view of everyone behind him. I tried to get some good shots with my phone without looking too obvious. But seriously, would you dress like that and not expect to get your picture taken?

Yes, that is a large tattoo running down his side
The blonde wig was quite nappy looking
Leigh got the tickets from a friend of Katie's (Leigh's sister) - he bought a block of tickets with one of his friends but couldn't make it back to Dallas in time for the game so Leigh bought them. The friend that he bought the tickets with sat next to us never introduced himself (he didn't look a day over 19), but apparently he and Katie's friend were texting through the whole game about how hot we were. How cute!
Thanks Leigh for taking me to yet another great Dallas sporting event!
Great seats!
Apologies for the close-up - the girl behind us zoomed in with my phone
