My husband was a major ASS over the 4 day holiday. I think he won Ass of the Year this time. But he made up for it

I was raised by my best friend's enormous traditional hispanic family that included me in their gift exchange and reprimanded me when their own daughter got made me do bad stuff. Jill and her hubby come to Vegas quite often, but I've missed my annual Tamale-Making-Christmas party. Chris and Danny are tight, too, plus all Jill's kid are like my own, and her 5 siblings are like my own, and the offspring of all these kids thing I rock. Nobody knows we're coming - it's a huge suprise.

Chris surprised me with tickets to San Antonio next week. We even got a rental car for the full five days, and I'm actually choked up crying right now because I needed this so, sooo bad. Another dear friend of 20 years lives in Ft. Worth - Jamie and I were friends since high school, and I was in his wedding but then lost touch. After 13 years, he found me on the internet and we've been talking for a year. We may even take a day trip and spend a night at his place.

I'll also be in Dallas for my annual Slumber Parties Convention in March along with about 500 other women.

We arrive in San Antonio 12/7 and return the Sunday 12/11 in the morning. Ya'll better lock up your doors and board up your windows, Hurricane DeLarla is brewing.

Lisa tell Chris that Strokers is best on the weekends!

:Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny I WANT to go to STROKERS!!! I WANT to go to STROKERS!! I WANT to go to STROKERS!!!!!!!!

Come on Leatha! I know you have wanted to go for a long time.

Strokers or Stokers? The only day we can come is the 8th since we're flying out there special for a huge family party, then we leave Sunday. We're just flying by the seat of our pants, DeLarla style, so I'll call when we get close or know what time we can pick up bikes, and I hope they have a couple available!

Dallas Strokers! Lisa you shouldn't have any problem getting bikes this time of year. You should be able to check on line to see availability too.

Lisa - go to www.strokersdallas.com and it will show you some pictures etc.

Chris and I talked and decided not to rent bikes unless "it was meant to be." Meaning we'll rent if there's a good selection and if the weather is good, but we won't make any decisions till we get there. Either way, we're still leaving San Antonio early on the 8th towards Dallas (either by rental car or bikes.) We're bringing our gear just in case, because we still want to rent Harleys even if for a day in San Antonio.

So, if we leave San Antonio in the morning, we should be able to meet everyone at Strokers for lunch? Is that right? I've lost ALL restriction, which would normally worry me, but not if I'm coming to Texas! Beer and steak, uh, no problem!

How do ya'll say it??? YEEE HAWWWW! Leatha, I'll call you & Betty when I get near. I've never met Betty, so you might warn her that I'm the same in person, all spun out! And VERY excited to meet Miss Betty!

Lisa, have a great time in Texas and have a huge steakand a BRUTIS size beer for me. OOOOHHHHHHH how I miss beer. Take lots of pictures so you can post them when you get home.

That sounds good to me! By the way, I'm not a bit worried!

Did I hear Tequilla is being served????

I have to work, Darnitall... I don't know if I can break away for lunch that day. Hmmm... Maybe I can come down with a mysterious illness.....

I guess we will have to see how I am feeling that day!

Lisa - Bring warm clothes! A cold front is moving in here and it is going to be really cold those days you are here.

Thank you, Betty! Should I even bother packing shorts? It's been too cold here for shorts - was below 40 this morning. We probably won't rent bikes if it's cold because Chris hates the cold. So far, I still plan on leaving early Wednesday morning from San Antonio in our rental car. So, what should we do for an afternoon in the Dallas area other than eat?

You won't need shorts, they are saying high 30's low 40's for the high temps! Cold, cold, cold!

We can do anything you want to do. I think you might enjoy seeing Stroker's. Is there anything you want to see? I am open to do anything!

Lisa, Have fun in San Antonio, I was just there in April and had a blast! I love the riverwalk, you have to go to Polly Esters while you are there, they have 3 flights, bottom floor is current dance music, 2nd floor is 70's disco and 3rd floor 80's retro, we had a blast there and Coyote Ugly's was fun too. I am from Mesquite a suburb of Dallas and love every city in Texas. It just now got cold, so I doubt you will be riding bikes, but you have to tell me how much fun you have so I can live vicariously through you...you made me think I need to hook up with some old friends to get out of my funk. Funny how old friends bring you back to reality sometimes!! Have fun!
