Sunday evening I met my bloggy crew at Capital Grille for a little get together. This week is restaurant week, an annual event where the snooty restaurants offer a three course fixed menu meal for $35 dollars (as opposed to the usual$100 meals), and donate the proceeds to local food pantries. Posh gourmet food for charity? You bet I threw away my girdle and ran fast as I could!
As good as the food was, it couldn’t compare to the beautiful company. When I arrived, Holly, Elaine, HRH, and Jill were already there and looking gorgeous with Stoli Dolis on the way. As you can imagine the conversation was fast and funny. I believe we covered everything from fantasy football to potty training, from Pokemon porn to my favorite subject- cute shoes.
Beginning with the Garden Salad, then over Kona Crusted Sirloin, and right on through Creme Brulee and Chocolate Espresso Cake, we gabbed and carried on until my sides were aching from laughter. At one point I let out a rather unladylike whoop before I remembered that we were in a very venerable venue. I darted a nervous glance at the table celebrating a delicate looking old woman’s birthday, and hoped I did not disturb them.
As they were leaving, I watched two young people gently helping her to the door. I sent over one of those “bless her heart” looks (the way you do) and was surprised when her daughter stopped at our table to say:
“She’s ninety-four years old and a pistol! She came into my classroom last month and there in front of the whole class, she grabbed my bewb (at this point, the woman demonstrated!) and said ‘I wish I had some of them!’. Well I told her she could if she were a hundred pounds overweight too!” Then she walked away leaving our table both astonished and laughing like loons.
Once we’d recovered, there was a furious debate over who got to blog about that! And that, my lovelies is how it is when Dallas Blogging Girls get together.
If you are a blogger in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and would like information about our next blogger babes meet-up, shoot me an e-mail and we’ll get you the 411.

How lovely for you! And from the sounds of it, you needed a night out to let off a little steam:)

Such a fun evening. And random ladies telling random body part stories to a random audience just topped it off…

Oh that beef was so good! My husband is still a little jealous I think… guess I will have to take him there sometime.
The company was great - so good to see you again. We MUST carpool next time! : )

Hey, that reminds me. I’m stuck having to visit my in-laws soon (luckily we only see each other about 2-3 times a year) in the Dallas area (it’s them not the location).
Honey and I know that things go much more smoothly if we come down prepared with an itinerary so if you and all the other Dallas Babes could give me some ideas of places to go, things to see, restaurants we must eat at with my in-laws and 3-year old daughter I’d be ever so grateful.

That was perfectly penned and oh so funny!!! Cannot WAIT til the next go ’round. And I of course said “The food was okay”" to hubby so he wouldn’t be jealous. But between you and me and your million readers, it was orgasmic.

I’m still laughing at that odd incident & the reaction. I told Puppy, and of course, he said, “BLOGGERS!” with a head shake that was meant to be negative. I took it as a postive though.
