Saturday

Chris and I spent the morning around the house. I finally made it outside after lunch in order to get my hair done. Then we went shopping for birthday presents as the month of September is full of birthdays for Chris's family. Next weekend we're heading back to Dallas to celebrate all these birthdays with the family. Chris's father is turning 65 and the family felt that such a milestone should be celebrated appropriately. According to the family's style, we will have (a very fancy) dinner at the nicest French restaurant in town. I'm VERY excited about it. I'm equally excited about hanging out with Chris's brother and sister and their families. I don't get to hang out enough with small kids, but I'll definitely make up for it next weekend. We'd better make sure the camera batteries are charged and ready to go.

After shopping for birthday gifts, we went grocery shopping. We know we shouldn't go grocery shopping when we're hungry, but we did tonight. Earlier, we prepared a menu for the week and a detailed shopping list. For most of the trip, we were completely committed to the list. Then we got to the meat department. We saw blue cheese hamburgers and I just had to have them. Then it was the sushi. So tonight we had the most incredible blue cheese hamburgers (we skipped the pre-made ones and made our own batch) and sushi. Weirdest meal ever. But that's what happens when you shop hungry!

Oh, and I was totally carded for the six bottles of wine we were buying. The cashier said I looked young. Duh, I know. But do under 21 year olds really buy six bottles at a time?
