Our good friend Debbie has season tickets to the Mavs games and maybe once a year, if we're lucky, we get to have a girls night to go to the game. So, back in February, she told us the date she had and that we could have the tix. It was decided that Deneise, Emily, Debbie, and I would go to the game and we were sooo excited!!
Sadly, a few days before the game, Debbie's husband, Todd, realized that the night we were planning on going to the game was the night the Mavs would be playing the NBA Champion LA Lakers and that that would be a HUGE waste of tickets for just us girls to be going to see such a great team!!! So, Todd, drawing from his Indian heritage, basically snatched the tickets back from us!!! (as if we'd had them in the first place!!)
So, of course Deb felt terrible and immediately came up with another date for us to go just the next week. We were again all super excited and began to plan for the big night of watching the Mavs play a nobody team!! No matter ... it would still be fun!!
Finally, the night arrives and we decide to eat at Abuelo's. The problem with Abuelo's is that it is in an area of town with HORRIBLE traffic and, of course, we were going during rush hour on a Friday night.
Insert Deneise into the picture. If you know my good friend Deneise AT ALL, you know she has serious issues with carsickness. By the time we got to Abuelo's, Deneise was GREEN!! She looked horrible and felt horrible and I think she promptly went to the bathroom and got sick!!
She hardly ate at all while the rest of us chowed and felt sorry for her!!
We got back into the car to continue on and a little further down the road, Deneise quickly lets Deb know that she needs to pull over. So we pull over and watch and wait as Deneise loses her little bit of dinner on the side of the highway!!
Deneise says there's no way she can go the rest of the way and she decides to call Shane to come and get her. We inform her that we're not going to leave her at the Dollar Tree (her request) to wait for Shane. While debating what we should do, we go into the Dollar Tree so Deneise can buy a toothbrush and some Kleenex!!
After much debate and a walk through Albertsons for good measure, Debbie makes a phone call, gives the tickets away, and we all go home. It is now dark and the traffic is light and all is well again!!
Well, except that we didn't actually make it to the Mavs game for the second time in two weeks!! But . . . no matter!! It was a fun night anyway . . .well, maybe not for Deneise, but for the rest of us!!
The funnest part is we were all wearing our Mavs shirts so when we got back to Deneise's, we decided we should take a picture since it wasn't likely that we would be getting back to the Mavs game anytime soon!!
One of my favorite Emily sayings is . . . it doesn't matter what you do, it's who you're with . . . and that definitely applies to this night. While the plans didn't go anything like they were supposed to, it was a great night with a lot of great memories!!
Thanks a LOT Deneise!!!! :)

That was a fun night! And, wow, what a great picture! :)
You did forget to mention us witnessing the near accident in the parking lot of the Dollar Tree that led to the crazy man following around that lady like a psycho! That was probably my favorite part of the whole night! :)
