Starling's Dallas Game Trip

The trip was very last minute like Saturday. Hubby decided I needed to get away, perhaps it was the temper tantrum I had in which he wound up driving a new car, or perhaps it was the tongue lashing that my roofers got after I had to explain what it "smelled like tuna" meant to my 6 year old, or perhaps it was the fact that I threatened to drive my plow truck into the muni manager's office and park my happy a$$ on his desk while I talked dirty to his wife...not really sure what made hubby think I needed to get out of town...I WAS FINE

Anyway, I flew down to Seattle hooked up with a friend who had my ticket, had a couple of glasses of wine and went to see mom...

South Beach diet is not working, highlights need a major touch up, the drool from last years chipendale show is still on her chin, and I swear sis ya need to let her out of the closet more! She was twitchin' and sniffin' at things that just wanted to make me squirm...then it was off to brother's house...needless to say with all the caterwalling downstairs its no wonder he's moving...

Then I met up with my sister and well we wont discuss the guy on the couch...he's either just gotten back from Prudhoe Bay or he's the missing link!

then it was off to my inlaws...and more wine...I got to pick my bottle...any guesses what I chose?

I got up early to get to the stadium to meet up with hubby's friend and hung out in the clubhouse for awhile before the game. There's a reason that you pay for club seats, other than having awesome seats, you get a state trooper guy standing guard in case some yahoo lights up a cigarette on his way to the seat...I kid you not, the trooper (who by the way almost wound up in my suitcase) walked up to the guy grabbed the cig out of his mouth through it on the ground and stomped it out...yeah he can come home to mama anytime!

I think the thing that amazed me most (I have never seen a football game live before) was that they really do stand around alot! I couldn't figure out why they'd just stop, until about half way through the 2nd quarter I went to the bathroom, I came out and was watching the TVand noticed that it was a commercial, so I went out into the rain and there they are just standin' there...makes me wonder how many of them wish they could run to the refrigerator to get another brew?

The game was awesome, besides being surrounded by rabid seahawks fans, it was intense...at the end of the game I realized that I'd only taken 3 pictures, lost most of my voice and had mistakenly gotten so caught up in the throb of the stadium that I was cheering the field goal (don't tell anyone!). It's weird to say, especially since I've been a cowboys fan since forever...but even though we lost (in the last few secondsd) it was an awesome experience. I didn't even care that we lost...

I'm sorry that I didn't take more pictures, but I was so distracted by the game that I didn't even notice the guy behind me was my ex from college...he's aged dam well by the way and says hi!

Oh I was gonna tell you about the trooper, his name is Chris he's very single and well I almost had him convinced to join me up here, but then hubby's friend asked him how he felt about drooling old ladies who twitched too much...Chris smiled and said he was being paged...you think I should clean out the guest room?
