Oh my gosh!

I HAVE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR TWO WHOLE NIGHTS!!! I'm so happy (and rested)! I didn't write about it, but on Thursday night, I made Chicken Marsala (my mom's recipe) with buttered noodles. I was really intimidated because Manny's mom (Lucy) is an AMAZING cook, and apparently she makes a killer Chicken Marsala. However, MANNY LOVED IT! I even served it right off the stove in my apron and everything. He went back for seconds (usually he doesn't on a meal because he likes the leftovers for lunch the next day), and I was just SO pleased.

The headaches seem to be going away, but I think that they have something to do with congestion. I need to go and see an allergist, be retested (I was tested when I was like 13), and start getting shots. I'm hoping that the sniffles aren't because of Manny's cats. They're really sweet, and I don't want my allergies to force us to get rid of them!!! :(

'Went out last night with Justin and Sheri for Sheri's 30th birthday - it's not till the 18th, but she'll be really busy that day, so we did it last night. We went to Katz' Diner in Montrose (a neighborhood in Houston known for its very gay-friendly population and it's cool non-chain shops and boutiques) and had dinner. Then off to "Wild West" - a country dance club that was Sheri's request. Justin and Manny just rolled their eyes and gritted their teeth, but I thought it was a neat place. However, I'm the kind of girl who doesn't really want to dance unless I know the steps, or they're told to me, so... We were only there a little time, but when we got there, Sheri and I went to the bathroom. When we walked out of the stalls to wash our hands, there were some VERY loud, very Jersey Shore (the tv show) kind of girls getting ready to go back out to dance. I stopped them, speaking over their uproarious and whiny conversation, and pointed out that one of them had paper towel stuck to her boot. They thanked me, I said "You're welcome" and turned back to the sink. "She's so nice!" said one. "Smack her ass!" said the other, and promptly, my behind was given a resounding *SMACK*. As they walked out, I heard "She's got a nice ass!" Needless to say, the minute they left, Sheri and I cracked up, and once we reached the guys, they laughed, too. ONLY ME, I swear. Then, on to Dave and Buster's. I walked in, holding Manny's hand, and said, "Hey! It's like a Chuck-E-Cheese, but for grown-ups!" We played racing games, and basketball games, and all sorts of fun stuff, and got this aborable picture of ourselves made. If I can put it in a digital format, I'll put it on here, because it's completely candid and is probably my favorite picture of us together so far.

'Not much planned for today...searching for Manny's lost Kroger card, maybe IHOP for breakfast with the book I'm reading...and supposedly we're going to the movies this weekend - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and of course, The Expendables. Well, Happy Weekend, everyone!

Love you all!
