almost perfect night

Have you ever had one of those days where something was almost perfect...but not quite? It almost made sense...but not quite. You almost had a perfect day at work...but not quite. You almost paid all your bills on time...but not quite. You almost didn't get in an argument with anyone today...but not quite.

Or....maybe you're one of those where everything seems to go wrong. You have a perfect driving record but it's the guy behind you that rams you, pushing you into the car in front and beside you, then drives off. You had time to pick up Stabucks for you and your coworkers but because of the jerk behind you is now covered all over your new pants, in the floorboard of your newly washed car and of course you have a presentation that morning at work...but you left your cell phone at home. And all you can do is throw your hands up in the air and scream (maybe with a few expletives) "MAN...story of my life?!?!?!?!"

Anyone? Sorry if I have brought up any hidden memories...

Well...I do have days like both of these...sometimes months long...the other night was one such night...but it fell in the almost perfect night...

Last saturday the girls and I went out to celebrate Allyson's birthday in Dallas (Happy Brithday Joe!!!! - sorry that's my nickname for her, don't ask me why, just is). Ally likes to celebrate month long fiestas so we were kicking b-day weekend off right by doing some shopping at the lovely Northpark Mall and then grabbing dinner.

After a most enjoyable day at the mall and hitting one of my all time fav stores...MAC...(where you get to play in makeup for hours and of course play guess the sex of the makeup artist. Not gonna lie...always a blast. And after several years in the makeup industry I usually win...) we headed over to The Cheesecake Factory.

While waiting for a table we hung out in the bar area where you not only get to watch the baseball game but do some entertaining people-watching. We like to play 1st date or last date...anyone else enjoy that?! So much fun!!!!

Finally a table opens up and we make a run for it. We throw our purses down and start climbing in our chairs when the guy at the table next to ours leans over and says, "Ummm...you know this table is taken right?!" I'm like, "What?!?!" (not a patient person in general but lack of food makes it worse) He says back..."Just kidding!" and we all laughed. A few minutes later he leans over and asks for contact solution. Random...or pick up line??? Wait and see...

Throughout the entire night we totally hit it off with this table of guys. There were three of us and three of them...perfect right?! Wait and see...

They kept chatting with us all night...they drank their fruity froo-froo drinks dressed in all white (not even exaggerating) while we enjoyed our sweet tea and red velvet cheesecake lookin mighty hott in our cute dresses (again...not even exaggerating). We cheered for the Rangers while they took pictures of themselves and giggled...

They busted a move when Last Dance came on while we...who am I kidding...while we busted a move too!

Anyone seeing a pattern here????

Yep...all three played for the other team...and I don't mean the Boston Red Sox!!!! Apparently girls night out was a common theme that night...

I'm tellin ya...it was soooo close...would have been perfect...right?!?! But nope...story of our lives. However it didn't stop us from having a good time with them. We had an impromptu dance and picture party and somewhere floating around out there are pictures of us...altho we're pretty sure they took our picture only to pick our outfits a part when they got in the car. :)

Someday it won't be an almost...it just will be...
