Always bring a koozie

One of the things I love about living in Dallas is all of the great sports teams we have.  Now I'm not a HUGE sports fan (unless is the Mavs) but I do LOVE sporting events.  The crowd, the noise, the food, the drinks!  Maybe its because I didn't get to enjoy college sports like most of my girlfriends.  Oklahoma City University didn't have a football team and I spent most Saturday nights dancing at the basketball games (I was more focused on remembering all of our dances then actually enjoying the game).  

In my 2 1/2 year love affair with this city I have gotten to go to 2 Dallas Cowboys games, 2 Texas Rangers games, and 2 Dallas Mavs games.  The only thing left was to go see our hockey team, The Stars.  Thursday night I lucked out and got to join my friend Katy and her cousin in their Platinum level seats!  Thanks Katy and Clint!  2 things I learned very quickly about hockey games:

1. ALWAYS bring a jacket.  I thought I'd be fine in long sleeves and a cardi and I was FREEZING!

2. ALWAYS bring a koozie (I was freezing, but my hands weren't)

Cheers!  We won!  Go Stars!

I got to grab a couple of my favorite girls last night (we missed you Ash) and do dinner and a movie.  We went to a restaurant none of us had ever been to which I was so excited about.  See I'm one of those people that LOVES to try new restaurants especially ones that are local to Dallas.  Here's where we chose:

Lombardi's Cibus

The food was SOOOOOO good!  The service was SOOOOOO slow.  There is nothing that bothers me more than poor customer service, I think this is because I have worked in customer service pretty much since I started working in my teens.  We seriously sat there for what felt like 15 minutes before our drink order was taken (Pinot Grig for me, Pinot Nior for Brookie, and a mojito for Linds) and then we had to ask someone to take our dinner order (Margherita pizza for me, Crab salad for Brookie, and Chicken Caesar salad for Linds).  Luckily the food was so great that we got over the poor service pretty quickly.  After dinner, we headed upstairs to the theatre to see This Means War!

It was very cute.  I'll definitely be buying adding this to my movie collection in a few months.

Tonight I get to try a restaurant I've never been to before (yay!).  The Commissary has been on my list of places to eat for awhile and I'm so glad my girls agreed to go to night.  After dinner I will be singing my heart out at the Lady Antebellum concert!  

I will leave you with this little gem of a song:
