Trying out New Things

In the past 24 hours we've did several new things. Last night we went to Chuy's. It's a new Tex Mex restaurant at the Summit. We had a 2 hour wait but it wasn't as bad as it sounds. They have a pretty large patio where you can order drinks and help yourself to the chips & salsa bar. It was nice sitting out and looking over an area of Birmingham. The picture I took of Brent really doesn't show the view but it's nice up there. I'm glad the Summit's in a building phase. I like having more places to eat & shop.

I ordered the deluxe quesadillas. Needless to say I didn't make a dent in them. They were delicious but I could only finish 2 of the 4. Brent went withs Chicken Al Carbon soft tacos. They were fajita style and he said they were yummy. He compared their chicken to Superior Grill-- that's a huge compliment coming from him!

Today we went to a new store at the Galleria to check out sunglasses for Brent (since his sank to the bottom of the lake).  The people at Sanibel Sunglasses Company were really helpful and nice. Brent literally tried on 10 pairs and ended up deciding on frames and lenses that will be special ordered (they didn't have the combination he wanted in store). They made it so easy that he even splurged and got me a new pair! I love when I'm rewarded for being a good wife :) We had checked out the Sunglasses Hut last night and they were so/so in the customer service department. If you need new glasses check out Sanibel first.

We then went to Brent's aunt Jennifer's HUGE neighborhood pool and soaked up some sun. Brent refused to let me keep him indoors all day like I did yesterday. We've always wanted to go to her pool since our neighborhood pool is ridiculously small and crowded so today we showed up and basically begged her to let us in. We'd tried calling her before we arrived but were apparently dialing her old cell number. Oh well, we made it and had a good time hanging out with her and her son Connor. 

Perhaps my favorite "new" thing we did this weekend was have Pizza from Pizza Express for dinner. I am OBSESSED with Pizza and yes, I ate my whole half of the medium. That's it though- no more pizza until after the cruise :( got to get in shape before I'm forced to spend 7 straight days in a swimsuit. 

sidenote: I watched "It's Complicated" for the first time last night and thought it was hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet it's worth netflixing. 

I'm off to finish up housework. This is going to be a LONG week in the office. Let's hope I stay sane!
