Pancho, jump on it!

This weekend can be described in one word – HOT! Despite the triple digit temps, we did manage to get out and have a pretty good time.

On Saturday we went to Garrett’s Comic Store, Zeus, to see Greg Rucka. He’s a comic book writer and had a big book come out last week about Batwoman in Detective Comics. The store had him come into town and sign books for people. He was pretty cool!


After that we went to the Studio Movie Grill to see Hangover. It was so good! The movie was hilarious! Plus, that was our first time going to the SMG, and it was really fun. It was a little expensive, but the food was good and it was nice to be able to eat a burger and enjoy a beer while watching a great movie!

On the way to the movie, though, there was a really bad wreck on I-20, and EVERY lane was closed. We didn’t see the wreck, because we got off the interstate, but it must have been pretty bad for them to have to close everything off. There was so much traffic having to detour, that what should have been only a 20-minute drive was an hour! We walked in the theater just as the beginning credits started to roll.

Sunday morning we took the bike out for a ride before it got too hot. We’re riding down the street and the left mirror just breaks off the bike! Luckily Garrett caught it, and no real damage was done, but we do have to order a new one to get it replaced. It was so random!

We’ve also been car shopping online for Garrett a new truck. He knew he wanted a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, so we found a dealership that had one at a good price and went to take a look at it. (We sign the papers and pick it up tomorrow, so more pictures to come.)


On the way there, we stopped at Pancho’s Mexican Buffet. Garrett’s always talked about this place, because they used to go to one when he was little and they lived in New Mexico.


It was his brother’s favorite restaurant because instead of going up to the buffet and fixing your place, when you want more food or a refill, you just raise this little flag at the table and the waiter comes over to see what you’d like.


It was so much fun! Yes, the food was good, but that flag was a blast! I’d raise it really slow, and by the time it got to the top, the server was already over to us. Nice!


This weekend, we go to Austin to spend the Fourth of July with Mike & Julie!! We're so excited we can hardly wait! Have a good (hopefully) four-day week everyone!
