Celebrate

Hey!

*Warning* Picture heavy post.
To celebrate my completion of the MEGA BIG project at work we went out to eat & party. It was  warm again so EVERYONE was out celebrating too. I know they must have been happy for me. 

Drove 2 towns over to Carino's.

Went here for Angelica's Birthday & it was hmm how to say? Lacking? The food was meh to ugh! So we thought we would give it another try. Apparently so did the rest of Texas...the wait was 45 minutes and it looked like it would be longer. So we passed on that..

You know I'm not eating here.

Rudy's shares the parking lot with Carino's and it was full too. But like I say it warmed up from Friday's snow to Saturday sweater weather. So everyone was out again, I guess? Or it was some new holiday. The "take your screaming child out to eat day" but that mostly happens everyday. :o

Opps! Forgot Sunset pictures as we drove out.

It looks cold, but wasn't.

Not UFO, bug on windshield.

So ok, back to my story. We left Carino's and motored over to old reliable Olive Garden. It was super jammed and wait time was 45-50 minutes. So left there and I'm ready for tacos or grass or cardboard or  ANYTHING. #Starved! 

We ended up at Mamacita's and yes there was a wait.

Place was also Jam packed.

So please to enjoy pictures I took while waiting for our table.

They sell Cheesecake Factory Cheesecakes, yumms!

When they "chips & salsa" in the bar they mean "CHIPS & SALAS" #Yummy

yeah! Table is ready :D

What I had..

He had enchildas with rice and refried beans.

And cheese cake.

Now stuffed and totally happy  we were off to Gruene. Weather is getting colder, but still really nice.   :D

If you want the scoop on Gruene, (what it is and what there is do there). Click this post for my history lesson. We come here quite often actually, but do different things. It's approx an hour away from my house. My New Orleans buddies hate it. They say too touristy #Whatever We like it.

There are a lot of crazy shops + bars, clubs, dance halls & cafes.

GIANT rubber ducky.

Also celebrate with a little retail therapy. New #Loot

Crappy front Iphone camera. Deer in headlights, WTF?

Back to Gruene.

Its really dark out here, wtf?!

And after a late night roaming around Gruene headed home.

And on the way ate again, WTH? Make up for missed meals all in one night..

Only thing open besides Dennys was Taco Cabana. So we ate Mexican, again, for the win.

It was a really nice evening. Gruene is really DARK, so my pictures NEVER turn out good there. (My excuse, ok?) But its a cool place to visit. I was just happy to be outta the office, to be honest.   :x
Today I'm gonna chill and read. Monday comes too quick, way too quick. I have a 8:30 am meeting & then a meeting with my insurance agent. Storm did some damage at my house. (OMG! Wait till you see those pictures) :O

But is ok, no one was hurt and all can be fixed. Am just glad it wasn't worse. #LookOnBrightSide

Anyway, hope you are having a great weekend and you get some time to relax too.
Take care and talk soon!
