Visiting

My friend from Las Vegas, Matt, came in on Thursday and stayed through yesterday. It was really nice to see him and have him here, but I have to say, keeping him entertained was exhausting! I think I caught up last night though: I slept a solid 12 hours. Sleep is good.

We explored more of the entertainment offerings of the city than we have by ourselves, so that was a lot of fun. I think I may make a point of planning occasional outings I think Bobby might enjoy, just to get us out of the house. I took Matt to Chick Fil A for lunch when he first arrived, then to the Willowbend Mall. We did some exploring (and I bought more bubble bath, squee) before heading to the grocery store for dinner fixins. We made fajitas, which made Bobby really happy.

On Friday, I'm drawing a blank. How strange! Oh, right. We went for Bento Box with my mom for lunch. The first place we went, Shogun Sushi, is a favorite of mine, but they were having construction related difficulties, so we went somewhere else. It was decent, but I don't remember the name, and Shogun Sushi is both better and closer. After that, we went to Frisco to visit the Stonebriar Mall and had fun wandering. Then to Target before I was in desperate need of a nap. I snoozed (kinda) until Bobby came home, and then we went to Studio Movie Grill to see Year One. We were all pretty unimpressed by the movie, but Matt really liked the concept (dinner and a movie, all at once) which was what we wanted. We hung out at the house for a while, then headed to the Inwood Theatre for a midnight showing of Clue in the Lovesac theatre. I'd been wanting to go for a while, so I was glad of the excuse. Matt was excited about getting to drink a Rum & Coke in the movie theatre while sitting in a lovesac armchair. The movie was good, too.

On Saturday, I slept in. We took Matt to the Ethiopian restaurant for lunch, which is our favorite to take visitors. Matt seemed to like it, and we were all super stuffed for the rest of the day. We browsed the Galleria Mall, and Bobby got a new pair of sunglasses. He's only been looking for 2 years! Afterwards, we headed home again to lounge around a bit. We'd gotten a late start, so it was already fairly late. Matt and Bobby talked music for a while, and then we collected my stepbrother and headed out to go see the Lollie Bombs, a local burlesque act. My cousin, Jessica, was in line and seated right next to us, so we got to say hi. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, even if Matt thinks Forty Deuce is better. Also, the Pocket Sandwich Theatre has really good cheescake. =D

Sunday, we all slept in, then headed to La Hacienda to get Matt some Tex Mex. I don't think he liked his food much, but he enjoyed mine! (I can't eat so much these days, so I was happy to share.) After lunch, we went south of Dallas to the Soda Gallery. It was really neat, and I'd never been to that area of town, so it was cool to see. The boys each got a chocolate soda and I had a bottle of sarsparilla. We intended to go to the Dallas World Aquarium after that, but they were closing in another 40 minutes, so we just drove around downtown instead, so Matt could see the buildings. He seemed to like it; it's very different from Vegas. After that, I was feeling pretty pooped, so we headed home. Eventually, we were hungry again, so we took Matt to one of our favorite Indian restaurants, The Claypit. We got one of our curries a little too hot, but it was still really good. Afterwards, we came home and joked around about Texas and comedians and music before heading to bed.

I woke up really early on Monday, but fell asleep again waiting for Matt to wake up. Then when I woke up again, my head was all muzzy from the extra nap and I had a really hard time getting going again. Once we got out of the house, I bought a Johnny Horton cd and tortured Matt singing along with it. =) We ate lunch at TinStar, which he seemed to like and is always one of my favorites. After that, we headed towards the airport along the "scenic route," so Matt could admire the houses. We ended up at Mockingbird Station, and I went into an office complex for an emergency pee! before we found parking and could shop. Lastly, we went to an Apple store so Matt could make fun of it? or something, then headed to the airport.

I came home, ate a pickle, and crashed on the couch for a while before playing Mario for a little while. I totally ignored the necessity of dinner. Bobby was really unhappy about having to eat canned ravioli's, but he survived. Now to get back in the swing of things! Bobby's parents are coming in two weeks, so I need to get the house spic and span.

My breasts today are really tender and leaky. They haven't been for a couple months, so hopefully it will pass. I'm looking more pregnant than ever, and Bobby (finally) felt the baby move last night. He had his face pressed against my belly and was growling at me. He felt the baby once, but then I couldn't stop laughing, so he couldn't again. I'm meeting my mom in (crap!) three minutes to go swimming, so I should probably go find my suit....... Oh no. Haha.
