I’ve been at a loss this holiday season for what I want for Christmas. Each year, it seems like there’s at least one thing that I really want to get, but this year I just cant think of anything. I had been brainstorming, and there’s nothing I NEED need. I have all the TVs in my house working and doing good, I have my car, I have my iPod, clothes, shoes, all the good stuff that most people ask for. I do need a new cell phone, but that is going to be free when I upgrade on my cell phone plan. So, this weekend we took a trip to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, which I’m not very familiar with. I know how to look up addresses and I’m really good with a map, but it’s just not the easiest way to find your way around unless you have a detailed map of each city that you need to look at. So, on this trip, I have my sister’s house address, I know what city she lives in, and that’s about all I can remember in the dark. If it weren’t for my cousin’s GPS I don’t know if we would have ever found the house, or if we did it would have taken a lot longer. You just have to enter in an address on the little gadget and it will take you right where you need to be. It even talks to tell you when you need to turn. I think I know what I want to get now, it’s a luxury that I’ve never had and never thought I’d need, but after seeing what it’s capable of I want one too.

This weekend Texas Tech and Baylor were scheduled to play. They decided last year, that since the Dallas Cowboys Stadium would be finished that we would get to play them there every year. This was the first year they had the game there, and I really had no idea how I was going to get in. There were no tickets online, but I just knew that I had to go. My cousin and I decided to car pool it to Arlington since my sister lives there, and a few hours before the game we went out to try and find some tickets. We saw no one. We walked around for a few hours, needing to get at least three for me and both of my cousins, but no one. We finally decided that the best bet would be to get the Party Passes, which were tickets that just let you into the stadium but you didn’t have a seat. We knew that we needed to get in fast, and then at least we would get good standing room. We ended up watching most of the game from the standing rooms, but spend a big chunk of the night, including half time, in a bar that we found. We were supposed to be able to drink in the game, but Baylor decided that they wanted to be jerks and no let them serve alcohol in the stadium, so you had to go into a bar to drink and couldn’t leave with your glasses. So, next year, I hope they change their mind and quit being stupid about that. College kids drink, I don’t care of you go to Baylor or Tech, and with this rare opportunity they should have let us go all out!

So, before I left on my amazing exciting trip to Ft. Worth to see my sister and the Red Raiders play at the Dallas Cowboys stadium, my cousin and I decided to make a stop and Bonzi, the sushi place that I’m always talking about. He had never been, and we hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so I told him we should go ahead and make a stop even though we were only an hour into our 7 hour drive. So, we googled it, got the address, and entered it into the GPS because I didn’t know how tog et there on my own. It gave us a number, and my cousin called it before we got there to make sure they were open. Instead of them answering and saying “Bonzii”, they said some other name, like about a kings palace or something. We went to the address given anyway, only to find out they Bonzi is no longer there. It’s been replaced, and I don’t even know what to think. It is still a sushi place, but they weren’t open yet so I couldn’t try it to see if it was the same place with just a different name. So, not a good start to the trip. Now, I’m going to have to make a special trip to Canyon to make sure that it is the same people that own the new named restaurant, or I’m going to have to find a new place to eat. I really hope they just thought the new name would help with business and have the same food, or I’m going to be devastated.
