mom and sarah got into town saturday afternoon around 2:30. we went to denny's, and our waitress totally ignored us. we were all out of drinks for like 10 minutes, and no one was in sight, so i banged my cup on the table and yelled, "hey! we need drinks! come here!" a few minutes later our waitress came over to give us our checks, and i told her we needed refills 10 minutes ago. she didn't even apologize. she got a $1 tip. you suck, nicole. you hear me?! bite me.
after that we came back home and looked at babies with birth defects. sounds demented i know, but i'm really fascinated with it. i've always thought it was be cool to be an OB/GYN.
at 7:30 last night we went to see the nutcracker, with will wynn as mother ginger! i got to see him last year, too. it was really great, of course. i love the music in that ballet, especially the arabian dance. i love how they dance to it, too. :melts away:
after that we went to 37th street. fabulous as usual.
we went to kerbey lane afterward to get blueberry pancakes and homefries, the food of the gods. at least the kind from there. finally we got home at midnight, and started taking goofy pictures. i got a bunch of mom.
this afternoon we went to walgreen's to print out some pictures for me, mom, and nana and papaw. while we were waiting for them to print, we went to highland mall and totally lost track of time. owen's plane landed at 4:02 p.m., and i just happened to look at my watch at 3:20 p.m. we rushed out there and made it just on time.
aww, what a touching moment.
we went to see the trail of lights after dropping owen's stuff off at home.
the color's weird, but it's better than the original. this is under the zilker tree. we held hands and spun around while looking up, and she fell. that's why her hair's looking crazy. (:
i also got some pictures from mom from thanksgiving.
the dude in the sunglasses is my cousin toby. sadly he couldn't make it for xmas in austin. ;(
aww, how cheerful.
toby in his gay supermodel look.
one of my family's dogs, maggie mae. she's a weiner dog/schnouzer (spelling?) mix.
before her xmas concert. carrying on the 1st chair clarinet legacy. :D
last but not least, i'd like to add a memorial for my futon. when we got the pink couch from the chick moving to boston for grad school, we put the futon by the dumpster. then i saw a chick moving it to her apartment with this guy, and i helped them out. that was back in july. then, last night, i saw the matress by the dumpster, with its characteristic white stain. and don't be pervish; it's from one of the cats.
r.i.p., futon matress. you suck balls, but you were still my own.
owen got a laptop for xmas, which is good because i'm stationed in the bathroom at the moment. my nose is leaking like a faucet, so i've got to reach over and dab it up ever so often. now, it's off to bed. we're going to go see the polar express in 3D at the IMAX tomorrow morning at 11. wee!
