Last night, I had the privilege of treating a wonderful girl to an evening of dinner and dancing. The occasion was Valentine's Day, the venue was the Wyndham Anatole hotel in Dallas, and my date was my great friend (and first-grade classmate) Tristan.
The restaurant (called the Nana) was located on the 27th floor of the hotel and featured spectacular views of the Dallas skyline. In spite of what the silly-sounding name may convey, this was the nicest restaurant I've ever seen. I have a feeling I stood out like a sore thumb in such a luxurious environment, but Tristan's elegance made her seem right at home.
After a delicious dinner, including some foods that I could not hope to pronounce or identify, we headed to the lounge for some dancing. It was a blast, and we even enjoyed watching some weird old couples busting out some moves that were from a completely different era entirely. I felt very young!
Thank you, Tristan, for a fabulous night!
I do believe you forgot the funniest part. The two eager, yet stunning, girls that you left behind!
Yes, my roommie is elegant!
left behind? excuse me, i was both of your valentines dates... well, only one, because jill ditched me
OH so cute! Looks/sounds like y'all had an absolute blast...I'm so glad!
awww! that is so cute they gave tristan a miniature potted rose bush! great pic! y'all are stunning. yes. yes you are.
Nick, has anyone pointed out you're starting to look like the guy from Joe Millionaire? That tall dark, scruffy joe. haha :-p
I think that I have never seen
A cow so placid, fat, and green
As the one that, like a hog,
Is chowing down on your silly blog.
Dad, that was beautiful! Thank you for that moment of inspiration. You are truly gifted!
hehehe
A small mouse scurrying around your pages,
Telling tall tales like old wise sages.
Inconspicuously dropping clues about,
All you know is that he only weighs an ounce!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Bow Bow)
Okay, mouse...good job on the first two lines: pages & sages ...now they definitely rhyme. Hmmm... "about & ounce" ...hmmm. I think your "poem" needs a little work. And you better be careful. You know what happens to mice who drop "clues" about. SNAP!!
Have you ever veiwed your page on a MAC?
Since it seems to be proper protocol to ridicule every grammatical error on the 'blog, I must reprimand Ben. Please refrain from spelling viewed with an "ei". Remember the old rule, "I before "e" except after "c?"
...but not always.
... and in words that say "a" like in neighbor and weigh. I know there's more, but I really would not like to type it. But thank you "kiss" for furthering Ben's knowledge of the great English language and reminding the rest of us to always think before we write.
P.S. Any other grammatical errors on this page will result in an outbreak of the Bubonic Plague in your dorm, apartment, house, cardboard box, curb, car, tree, bridge, patch of grass, and/or mansion!
I think all the mice would like to hear about our cat, Darla.
(hint hint!)
Well if you've been trying to get rid of a mouse you might've done it! Maybe if you never update again I will lose interest and infest another blog! But, for now at least, I like this blog so please continue!
Yes. Hear, hear! WE WANT A BLOG! WE WANT A BLOG!
yes yes please please blog blog. we grow impatient. yes. yes we do.
