A Wild Weekend!

What a weekend! I drove to Dallas on Friday to visit some friends. I don't get away from my family on my own very often. It was a small adventure for me, taking off to the bigger city in my Odyssey, on my own!

The original plan was to see Barry Manilow in concert!!!!!! Sounds exciting, doesn't it? My college roommate Cheryl and I used to lay our heads down to sleep as we listened to Barry's beautiful love songs! On occasion I think we would sing aloud to them as well. There is a special place in our hearts for Barry! Well, Cheryl informed me on Friday that Barry's concert was cancelled because he has bronchitis! We were heartbroken, but we weren't going to let him take away from our girls weekend!

Cheryl and her husband are doing well. She says she is spoiled. She is. She lives in a beautiful home with all the ammentities one would ever need and more. Cheryl is still the same great friend and I enjoyed seeing her again.

We started out the evening with a few of her friends, margarita's, and the limo driver- I can't remember his name, but we decided he was a total dweeb. Should limo driver's need to know where they are going? It was fun having people stare at you wondering who you are. It was exciting.

I drink on occasion but very conservatively. I was really pacing myself so I didn't puke my enchilada's and chips. After dinner and a another really strong margarita, we headed to a "sports bar". I don't really like bars. Why do people go to bars? To get wasted, to meet strange men, to dance? I like the dancing. We had a good time. I had my first jello shot. I nursed it most of the night instead of "shooting it". I sipped on all kinds of shots. I like to watch the people. I wonder why they are drowning their sorrows in their beer. What are they looking for?

It reminds me of the time I went to a bar with a friend of mine on New Year's Eve. The clock turned midnight and I felt like the only person in the crowded room. Everyone was celebrating, kissing and hugging. It was the most depressing time of my life. I never felt so alone. I guess that feeling comes back to me whenever I am in a bar.

Anyway, we headed back to the house in the limo about 2-ish. It was a fun night. It would like to hang out with the girls ,drink, and ride in limo's more often in the big D. My life could use the excitement. I can't wait for my next trip to the big city!
