The birthday trip was fun. I think that’s all I can really say about it, just fun.
We drove down to Houston Friday night and I mean I drove down to Houston while my boyfriend slept his “night” since he worked the night before. We stopped in The Woodlands to meet his friend – who is a girl. I never met her before. They knew each other from back in day when they both lived in Beaumont apparently partying it up every other night. She has calmed down since then. She and her boyfriend both met up with us at Chili’s. I have to tell you guys, for someone who doesn’t particularly like Chili’s, that was my third time eating there last week. Oh, yeah. Cowboy’s friend was fun – she was cute and funny and very tall. Apparently I got the approval from her later that night via text.
Saturday I woke up early to shop – little did I know the mall closest to our hotel hadn’t started their holiday shopping hours just yet. While Cowboy was at drill – I ate a long brunch solo (in the hotel’s restaurant) and then went and shopped. Geez – I really would like to know if I didn’t watch the news, would I really think the economy was doing badly? There was a million people out there shopping!! I was seriously getting trampled on, pushed and whatnot. It was gruesome.
I don’t mind long lines at store check outs but what I do mind is when another person does. Seriously – you know what time of year it is, right? You know you are in a mall. I don’t get it when I’m standing there and there is always some complaining shopper.
So I spent the day by myself. Which I will admit wasn’t that much fun. Actually, it was kind of sad at some points in the day, mostly when I was eating and snacking solo and when I came back to the hotel and wait for Cowboy.
And this is where it gets almost interesting…so Cowboy’s bag was open and he had his shoes in there. I thought I’d be the nice girlfriend and take them out of the bag for him. You know, so his shoes wouldn’t be touching all his clothes in the bag. When I did – I noticed a gift packed in the bag, so then I put the shoes back in the bag, so at least he didn’t think that I saw what I saw. Know what I mean?
Buuuuuuuuuuut here’s the kicker – I didn’t get such gift! The biggest mystery of my life right now, today, is what the F? Because that same gift is still in his bag. Yeah, I looked.
My birthday dinner was A – to the awesome. We enjoyed a long 5-course dinner from Gravitas – oh it was so freaking delicious, I didn’t know what to do afterwards – we were all in a food coma. Then that was that. I slept in the next day, caught up on season two of Heroes (yeah, I’m nerd like that) and then we drove back to Dallas.
Now, the true drama at hand, is that damn present!?!

WTF?!?! You have to keep us posted...but come on, give us a hint! What was the wrapping? Where was it from? Blue Box, Macy*s bag? What!?! I'm not helping am I?
Interestingly enough, the mall I shopped at Saturday was really not crowded at all.
Secret gift you didn't get? What gives?
Maybe it's for Christmas ...?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOLIGHTLY!!!!
