This Little Piggy Went to the Cabaret

Yesterday the bestby took me on a cute date. He said I could pick where we went for dinner. I don't think he was expecting me to say BARBEQUE! But that is what I wanted. Because I haven't been to a bbq place since I was a vegetarian. Which was six years ago. Since I was a vegetarian though, I couldn't enjoy it! But tonight I could! So, we went to a bbq place. I had fun dressing up all girly before we went, I even did my hair! The whole ride there I had my feet on the dash and was like this is the life. I took pictures of my feet on the dash, but I will not be sharing them because, no.

BBQ!

The bestby was so hungry, he wanted to eat the menu.

I didn't like all the dead animals featured as decorations. But I did find it funny that they named everything after Charlotte's Web. I want to go read that now. 

There were ducks watching us from above

My food! I was impressed by the quickness. They had the food out in five minutes! I got the baby ribs. YUM! So. Good.

The bestby's food! 

The Illusive Sammy Smirk! I got it in a picture! 



My creeper photo of our waitress. Her name was Bailey and she was really nice! I liked her hair! She always came and checked on us when I was having a bbq fiasco though. Oh well!


I helped the bestby put his beans in, one bean at a time.

Look how messy the bestby was! Ok. You caught me. Those are my napkins. I put them all by the bestby's plate so that people wouldn't know I'm so messy. But I was eating ribs!

After dinner, we went to a cabaret with the bestby's family at his neighbors college. I had no idea what a cabaret was, but it sounds cool! On the drive there, I drew a nice picture.

I call it, Gangsta Mermaid Dolphin Love. I made sure not to forget the belly buttons, because this isn't Kyle XY

The stage for the cabaret was a whole lot smaller than I thought it would be. The room was nice and cozy. There was this really annoying guy sitting behind us though who kept laughing ridiculously loud through all the songs and was talking about the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and sounded like an idiot. He obviously didn't watch the documentary about them on BYU last year. Oh, and he was talking about his career as a swimsuit model. At that point I had to turn around and look at him. Oh my. If he can be a swimsuit model, the world is going downhill. 

Pipe things that started the Mo-Tab conversation behind me.

The Stage!

They had the music playing from up there on the balcony. Way cool!

I really enjoyed the cabaret! They sung songs from a ton of different Broadway plays. My favorite was from Ragtime about a girl on a swing. It was ridiculous. Hahaha! I'm so glad that the bestby invites me to things like this with his family. Before I met him, I never went out to plays and cabarets. I feel a lot more culturally educated. I never would have tasted flan, or gotten the always awkward cheek kiss. Even though it stresses me out when we go to events with all his Cuban and Latino friends, I always have fun and love how welcoming and loving they are. 

The only reason I get stressed out by the way is because all of them greet me different. Some just want a hand shake, some want a hug, and some a hug with cheek kiss and I can never remember who does what so I always end up looking silly, holding my hand out in the middle of a cheek kiss hug. I'm thankful for an awesome boyfriend who takes care of me and lets me be apart of everything in his life, especially the rich culture. 

The whole ride home from the cabaret I was speaking my limited spanish. I kept yelling Ten Cuidado! at the bestby's dad because he's a bit of a scary driver. Since I was showing him my spanish skills, he didn't get offended by my backseat driving. ;)

And so, that is the tale of how this little piggy went to the cabaret.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
