Another day in Dallas!

Gheera is becoming a hit with people across the United States… literally. I just met a sweet little girl in the room next door, Taylor. Little blond probably about three or four. I had taken Gheera out to pee and she stopped me and wanted to pet my dog. She asked Bagheera’s name and then questioned me regarding what her REAL name was. In the same breath, Taylor informed me that her real name is Dr. Porkchop. It wasn’t long before I had a whole crowd of kids around me. Gheera was so good, sat and laid down while she was smothered with love and kisses. Oh the life of a dog. Sooo jealous.

Today was pretty laid back. Stayed in the hotel until around noon, extending my stay for another night. Then grabbed some coffee and a pumpkin scone at Starbucks and headed to Kelley’s where I watched her and her father-in-law do some work on the house while I worthlessly played in the yard with Gheera and laid on the bed in her room. Later Kelley and I headed to I Heart Yogurt, which was a blissful experience. Thanks Kelley! It was so awesome getting to spend time with you. Love you to death.

After a nap in the late afternoon, I headed to Uptown (West Village) area in Dallas, which was really quaint. I had dinner at a Thai-Vietnamese place, a very spicy dish of shrimp pad thai and sat next to a nauseating couple at the bar. I gathered that it was her birthday and they have only sporadically been dating for a short time. Their conversation seriously made me want to punch him in the face and tell her that she can do much better (which I was seconds away from doing). But maybe they were both drunk. Who knows? Here’s a snapshot of the convo:

Annoying guy: “I thought you didn’t mind that I’m seeing other women. Its not serious.”
Girl (also pretty annoying but not quite as bad): “Yes, that’s totally fine.”
Annoying guy: “Well I noticed you are still friends with your ex-boyfriend on facebook.”
Girl: “yes”
Annoying guy: “Well do you see yourself ever getting back together with him?”
Girl: “That’s a valid question but no.”
Annoying guy: “But you have a soft spot for him.”
Girl: “I guess. He’s a good guy.”
Annoying guy: “BS (yes I’m editing/beeping out). That guy is a f_ a_ . I’m so much better looking than him. So much better looking. People love me. I’m absolutely amazing.”
Girl: Ok
Annoying guy: “I’ve told my friends about you. I told my best friend I really like you even though we haven’t had sex.”
Girl: “I haven’t had sex since September; its been a long time.”
Annoying guy: “Well its really important to me. I think we should be together. I think we could be in love. We could really love each other. Do you like me?”
Girl: “I already told you I do.”
Annoying guy: “Well what’s wrong? Can’t you say it again?”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I am for real. This guy was not kidding. You get the idea. I wanted to slap him, and her, for still being all over him. He was awful. THEN he bought all three of us shots, which I accepted but it did not help to win me over. After they left, Antonio, the bar tender, gave me a high air five as he was laughing hysterically about the dude who was hitting on me while his girl sat in between us. So lame. To make a long story short, it is not okay to shameless flirt and be all mushy loudly next to someone sitting eating dinner alone at a bar and it is NOT okay to go on and on about how much people like you and how wonderful you are while you get on some girl’s case about being facebook friends with her ex. Oh man. Makes me mad just thinking about it. And with that, its time for bed.
