Coming Up For Air ~

Well after the second quarter ended they began getting the field ready for the performance. As they began setting it up, my friend and I thought we were not going to get to see anything. See we were sitting on the back part of the stage, however on the non sunny side of the stadium in the curve. *I guess you'd have to know how the stadium is set up to understand of what I'm talking about*. Anyhoot, the band started coming out of entrance ramp to the field and we quickly realized we had some pretty good seats. Toby came out in a golf cart and when he got out we got to watch everyone interact together and even Toby trying to tackle one of his band members ~ laughing and cutting up. Once they took the stage we still got to see his performance from where he stood and such. Personally since I don't care to see the cheerleaders we got a better view than those who were looking right to the stage ~ my view was not obscured :biggrin.

Once the third quarter began we decided to walk around the stadium, find something to drink and eat and hopefully find Toby's mode of transportation :biggrin. Well, I found his mode of transportation as they were pulling out of the parking lot. It was one of those long truck limo's. I pointed it out to my friend as I quickly looked around my surroundings on how to make my enterance into that parking lot should they stop :smile. I kept feeling this gush of wind behind my head and turned to look at my friend as she is flapping her arms around like a chicken fighting for its life. I just stood there in shock and said WTF are you doing?? She told me trying to get their attention ~ okay that works for me ~ you look like the fool I'll find the way in there :biggrin. Sure enough it gathered much attention, in the parking lot, as well as those surrounding us. The car stopped and the window was put down and they just sat there waiting ~ wait no longer was my theory ~ I began my descent on the ramp that lead to the parking lot only to feel my jacket being pulled tightly upon causing me to almost fall backwards. When I turned around to raise a fuss I noticed it was the girl I was with pulling me back again I ask :wtf???? She got skidish saying "I'm not going to jail over this" Who said anything about jail??? They stopped they rolled down the window and look they are now waving at us ~ I'm outta here hon ~ Only to obtain whiplash again ~ Then she says ~ But Speedbump will kill me if I don't come home with you. HA wanna make a bet ~ he'll be suprised if you DO show up with me!! Well as this arguement was going on and several bouts with whiplash ~ the car slowly began to pull away with the window still down ~ Toby stuck his head out with his hands like in a shrug and tipped his hat. I could have quickly gone to jail but not for crossing lines in the stadium but for strangling her!!!

She decided that since the Cowshits ohh sorry Cowboys were losing so badly that we should go ahead and head out to beat the traffic. Okay I'm all about beating traffic!!! Well it didn't turn out that way ~ by the end of the fourth quarter and an almost empty parking lot ~ we are still wandering around looking for her car. :lol

The wind is whipping and it is COLD ~ so I stop to light a cigarette ~ the wind not allowing any cooperation ~ I saw this guy walking by me as I leaned over to light my ciggy ~ but my friend was standing right beside me and I didn't think anything about it UNTIL these big burrley hands come up around my ears and checks.

I jump backwards and about break my neck because I have a stadium blanket clutched between my legs, drop my cigarette and scream at the top of my lungs WTF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING??? Everyone in the parking lot stops and starts heading towards us to see what is going on and my friend is like "OMGGGGG you are causing a scene" :lol The poor guy looked like a ghost and said I was just trying to help you block the wind. Okay after I caught my breath and realized he didn't mean any harm and with several witnesses around me I smacked him and said Jezzzz don't you know not to sneak up on a woman in a dark parking lot for cripes sake!!! Poor guy, apologized and then said hand me another cigarette and I'll help you get it lite, I promise no funny business. He helped me light it and then I started walking away and he started following us. My friend is like he is following us and I told her ignore him he'll go away.......then he stopped and said excuse me but could you hook me up?? I just stared at him and then it dawned on me "Ohhh you need a cig??" :lol He just smiled I handed him one and my lighter and that was the end of that episode. However, the friend I was with was terrified from there on out, every time someone walked too close she'd almost run, or if we passed a car and someone was walking out between cars looking for their cars she'd jump and scream. It was too comical. Cold but comical. Definatelly an experience neither of us will ever forget :biggrin.

We finally found the car three rows away from where the guy scared me to death and we obviously passed it MANY times with a full parking lot. And made it home safely.

Friday we had some friends from out of town come over and spend the evening with us which was very enjoyable as well as some of the people who spent Thanksgiving showed up hungry.

As you can tell we had a very eventful Thanksgiving holiday and some time to relax. This weekend hopefully we begin the nightmare of Christmas decorations.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
