Here's Looking at You Kid

   My husband has really impressed me and thus deserves some pomp and circumstance for his efforts. Friday, I come home in a piss poor mood and really just wanted to be alone, in our bedroom watching Netflix. Instead my husband with a gleam in his eye, excitedly tells me to pack an overnight bag. With arms defiantly crossed over my chest I refuse. I had a date with Netflix and I was adamant about being left alone. He packed a bag for me and before I knew it, we were barreling down the road to somewhere. Steven refused to let me know our destination. I sat in the passenger seat seething and moody. PMS is a bitch and coupled with stress makes me an animal that should be caged for the good of humanity. A few hours into this adventure, I figure out we are headed to Dallas. Steven suggested I look up things I might want to do via +Google. Grudgingly I comply with this request and find that a ton of great things are happening, next weekend. I found several operas and symphony shows I wanted to see which of course, were not showing the night we would be in town.

   We get into town around 5:30 PM and check into our hotel. After freshening up we decided to walk around the galleria which is a three story mall and has several amazing stores that don't exist in Odessa. I found a +LUSH Cosmetics store which is a personal favorite of mine. Lush is the organic version of Bath & Body works and everyone needs to check one out! While I looked around Steven bought me two of my favorite products. Ocean Salt is a shower scrub that softens while evening out skin tone and he also bought me a shampoo called daddy-O. This shampoo helps to brighten blonde hair and leaves your strands silky soft. He scored so many husband points. We walked around for awhile and drooled over the very expensive things we could not afford. Our lovely night ended with an Amazing dinner at Ruth's Chris which is my favorite steakhouse. This restaurant has superb service, the food is always delicious and they have a remarkable wine list. Steven and I always drink Silver Oak which is a Cabernet but our waiter suggested we try something new. We were introduced to a new wine called Scarlet, if you drink wine then you must try this one. Steven ordered a New York strip with garlic mashed potatoes and I had shrimp cooked New Orleans style, with white wine and butter. A Cesar salad and garlic green beans rounded out the rest of my meal.

    I wrote this very long blog post because my husband deserves a ton of credit for making me a happier individual. He drove us 5 hours just to have a very fine meal, and sight see for a few hours this morning. The last few months have been very tough for me emotionally due to several things happening in my life. All he wanted was to make me happy and give me a night away from home. Words alone cannot express how thankful I am to have this man as my husband. Keep up the great work Steve!!

This is the wine we had at Ruth's Chris.   

Lush products that I am in Love with!
