vanity pays off and other ramblings of the weekend

My hair looked marvelous, and that IS what life is all about when you have stick straight can't hold a curl hair!

We got my brother and girlfriend picked up and headed south, traffic bit so it took us 3 hours to get to moms' house. Went to eat and drink (margaritas!!) so we're just about done eating and a second round is ordered.. um, OK, move to the bar... now you must picture a dark, mexican, smoke filled bar with lots of really old Americans, and a live band (mexican, of course) playing cover tunes from the 50's and 60's.. it was great!!! an hour of that and my brother and M. were ready to go find something a little more "young".. so we grabbed id's and headed to town.. first stop Club tequilas.. Girls drink free... uh oh, so I danced in a "bird cage".. we had fun, I only had about 1/4 of the margarita there.. it was too strong!!!  Moved on to Papas and Beer, at this point I'm tired, I'm getting OLD.. I figured we'd hang out for a short while and head home as it "HAD to be getting late".. HA, not even 10pm.  BUT, P&B has fun things to do.. like limbo, and the every popular mechanical bull.. all it took was the "I can ride longer than you can" drunken slur from M. and I'm riding the damn bull.  Really, it was a blast! I stayed on for 8 seconds, at a medium hard ride.. not bad for an old mom-type.  Shortly after that we did go home.. we took the smart path, and grabbed a cab. :o)  I was tucked into bed by 11:30pm, yup, a wild night. LOL

Saturday day was sleeping, eating, and lounging.. then the girls went to the salon for foofoo'ing.  My hair was.. sculpted.. it took 45 minutes to do the up 'do.. it took an hour to comb it all out. OUCH!  BUT, beauty knows no pain.. and in the end, I'm very happy.. because, even if I do say myself, I was pretty pretty all fussed up and dressed and grown up looking. Tim, of course, looked fantastic in his suit. 

Then there's my mom... oh wow... she wore a red and white spaghetti strap dress that was just amazing!!! She looked soo beautiful.  She and dad danced quite a bit which was great to see.  :o)

 

The kids had a good time, and we got home early enough to shower before they arrived as well as watch a bit of the superbowl. :o)
