May in Texas should not be so cold!
I had a great weekend.

Friday I had the day off, so I ran some errands. Specifically, I went to the optometrist and had my eyes examined. I got a new perscription, so I got cute new Burberry glasses. I also got contacts, but I still can't get them in my damn eye. After all of my running around, it was time to collect Debbie and Aaron for our trip to Dallas.

It stormed much of the way from Austin to Dallas. It didn't actually start raining until we were almost in Dallas, but there was a spectacular lightning show that started in Waco and didn't stop until we reached the hotel. We were a little worried that the rain would ruin our weekend plans, especially since the Friday Rangers-Red Sox game had been rained out already.

Saturday morning it was overcast but not rainy. Unfortunately, it was also about 58 degrees Farenheit. Wait, come again? This is Texas, right? We had looked at the weather forecast before the trip, but I guess we only looked at the chance of rain. So we all wore t-shirts and jeans to Six Flags and froze our asses off. We also mistakenly thought it would be a good idea to go on a water ride. Soaked jeans do not dry very quickly, especially when it's cold and misty. I almost chickened out on a couple of rides, but good sense prevailed.

The Red Sox lost both games on Saturday. Victor and I were not good luck omens for them. Aaron and Debbie were so cold that they bought Texas Rangers sweatshirts at the ballpark. I bought Victor a Red Sox t-shirt, and I wore a sweater that we found in Victor's trunk. I wish we had looked in the trunk before going to Six Flags... ah well. Hindsight is 20/20, just like my eyes are with these new glasses.
