It was either Monday or Tuesday when I was sitting in my office, minding my own business, when my cell phone rang. It was Lisa Thomas, she's the afternoon dj on Mix 102.9. She was calling to inform me that I had won Lisa's Lunchbox. She gave me a $50 gift certificate for Texas de Brazil. Chris and I went to the radio station to pick it up. I know he believes how lucky I am, but I'm still glad he can witness when I pick up prizes. I don't know that I'd believe me if I didn't see it first-hand. Chris, Alex and I went for dinner there on Friday. Wow. That was some tasty food. Meat heaven. I'd go again for a special occasion. Adult dinners were almost $50 each. Still, if you have the cash and the opportunity, go for it.
Saturday I hung around the house most of the day. Chris woke me up early to give me the opportunity to go for a 10k walk. I think I mumbled something about kissing my ass. I'm not sure. It was early. Saturday night, we went to Main Street Days in Grapevine. We wandered, rode some carnie rides and listened to an AC/DC cover band. I'm working on my impersonation. It needs work. Right now it's somewh0ere between a British muppet and a zombie.
Sunday, we once again found our way to Six Flags. We rode Tony Hawk's Big Spin. It was about a 40 minute wait, but worth it. It twists and turns you all over the place. It also records your face for the whole ride. They'll sell you a dvd at the end for $20. I passed. Chris and Alex got on towards the end of the day. They got in the single rider line and rode it three more times each. I'm not sure why my son was willing to jump on that ride without hesitation, but I still can't talk him into riding the Batman.
The remainder of the invitations I was waiting on arrived today. Finally, we can mail them! I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it. I'm curious to see who's willing to make the cross-country journey in the middle of July. Should be interesting.
I'm not sure how much decorating I want to do. We can't get into the hall on Friday because they have a scheduled dinner, but we can get in Saturday at any time and be there pretty much all day. I just don't know if I want to be there working that day. That would involve me waking up early. I hate waking up early. Then I have to figure out how much time it will take to get washed and dressed and make my hair pretty. Everyone knows I can't manage time with an atomic clock. I'm not sure how important decorations are.
I'm shipping Alex off to visit my parents on June15th. That gives him time after school lets out to chill for a while. He's stoked about going down there and visiting the old folks. Mom agreed to stay with Alex for a week while Chris and I hit the beach on our honeymoon. At first, she said she didn't want to sit in the sun by the pool. After I assured her there's shade, she agreed that she and Dad will housesit / babysit. I don't know if Dad knows he's housesitting. I'll let Mom explain it to him.
I still don't think my sisters have ordered their dresses. I figured out how to fold the favor boxes. I still don't know what's going in the boxes. Can the boxes be the favors? Some aspects of this wedding are really beautiful and classic. Some parts are ghetto. Some parts are a unique blending, much like a vintage Cadillac with spinners. Just wait. You'll see. Hope to see you there.
