Bring on the beef!

I've officially had 2 ridiculously expensive dinners in 6 days. I do believe that is a record. I usually go 6 months before getting out for anything besides Arbys, Taco Bell, or on a special night, Chili's! What happens when you have babies? You decide you would rather eat the left-over mac and cheese in the fridge before going to a decent dinner because you know if you leave the house, you have the following things to do before you leave:


Prepare for last minute showing (our house is on the market):

Open all blinds
Sweep the floor
Vacuum the rugs
Sweep the pool
Skim the pool
Sweep the deck
Make all beds
Put all toys or resemblance of life away
Wipe spots off the mirrors
Clean toilets
Wipe vanities
Empty all waste baskets
Wipe appliances down
Put dirty dishes away
Find out where odd smell is coming from you have been trying to ignore all day





THEN.... you get the baby ready:

Oh, we haven't changed your diaper in 3 hours and find this:
Change diaper and clean floors again

Find shoes and socks


Wrestle with crying baby to put shoes and socks on

Find hat and coat

Wrestle with crying baby to put hat and coat on

Pick crusted boogers from crying baby's nose

Find and pack the following in diaper bag:
Pacifier (DON'T EVER, EVER, FORGET THE PACIFIER OR YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE AN UNEXPECTED STOP AT WAL-MART, OPEN PACIFIER IN BABY ISLE AND PAY FOR ITEM WITH EMPTY PACKAGE)
Diapers
Wipes
Cheerios
Formula
Bottle
Sippy Cup
Extra clothes
Toys
Orajel

(tired yet?)


THEN, you get yourself ready
Flip-flops (who cares if it's 29 degrees out, I don't have to bend over to put flip flops on)
Maybe some deodorant


READY


You then load crying baby who hates the car seat into the car seat. You start off. Did we forget anything? Oh, crap, where's Thade?



Won't having TWO babies be SO MUCH fun?! We can't wait until MAY!


Anyways, back to dinner last night. Rustin and I got an all expense paid dinner to Nick & Sams (thank you Rustin for giving someone business). There were 12 of us. Needless to say, I was yet again, the only person not drinking there (besides the super cool Tongan Mormon).


Anyhow, back to bragging about my oh so yummy and fancy and ridiculously expensive dinner. The table had 8 bottles of $220 wine, 11 jager bombs, 11 shots of tequila (Rustin thankfully passed on the latter), and various other cocktails throughout. 2 people from our table ordered $150 porterhouse each. Oh and did I mention our appetizer was lobster?? Along with shrimp cocktail and calamari.


Half way through dinner, a group of people came in and sat at the table next to us. I thought Super Cool Tongan Mormon was about to have a heart attack. Apparently, it was the judges and host of So You Think You Can Dance. Cat is definitely as skinny in person as she is on TV. I hope someone forced some Ribeye on her last night.


Some of our party were definitely characters. One girl kept calling one of the waiters "Shitter". She swears she knows him and that is his name, but the poor guy avoided her at all costs. I'm pretty sure she took the extra shots from Rustin and Super Cool Tongan Mormon. Oh, and can you guess where Super Cool Tongan Mormon is from and now lives? You guessed it, from Utah and now lives in Euless with a brother playing football at Trinity. However, she was super cool and I was glad to have a non-drinker to have an intelligible conversation with.

We have a 2nd showing at 4:30 today. Wish us luck!
