\\\\ Gotta Practice My Bestest Texas Accent ///
 
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwww!

That's right folks! I'm going to Texas!

Dallas, to be exact. Sometime at the end of January. For a blasting convention.

I don't have to participate in the convention what-so-ever!

So tell me...what does a girl do in the big city of Dallas while her hubby is schmoozing it up at the convention center with blaster's from all around the world?????

BigBear57 10-26-2005 06:45 PM

Somehow Lixy Love I don't see you as being lost for anything to do anywhere. LOL I'm sure Dallas won't be the same after your visit. I envy those Texans.

jay-t 10-26-2005 06:55 PM

Two words GRAPEVINE MALL the wife and daughters go shoping there about 4 times a year they always seem to have a good time and prices are a little better than here in Okla. Lots of antique shops I'll have to ask the wife where else to visit.

Lilith 10-26-2005 07:16 PM

Eat good Mexican food!!!!!

maddy 10-26-2005 07:35 PM

If you hit Grapvine Mills Mall, I also recommend taking a tour of the Gaylord Texan, a must see.

The Galleria is also a nice, large big city mall (Dallas North Tollway).

Then there is the Sixth Floor Museum and Dealey Plaza.

Eat lots of Mexican and Beef... if you know the area you are staying in, I can likely recommend a few places to try.

I for one wish I lived closer to Dallas.... I would so love to meet you in person...

If I were you... I think that would be something I would do.. going to a strange town... meet up with some Pixies... have those that live near there explore along with ya...

jseal 10-26-2005 08:09 PM

LixyChick,

You could visit Dealey Plaza. The Book Depository building has a museum on the 6th floor with an exhibition focused on the events of November 22, 1963.

osuche 10-26-2005 10:51 PM

Dallas has a nice zoo, also....I have good memories of visiting there when I was a kid.

What about attending a sports event?

Hell YEAH!!!!!! :d: :halo: :d:

LixyChick 10-27-2005 04:52 AM

Bear...And I'll not be the same either. I have a tendency to pick up accents almost immediately. Especially southern accents and the local slang! It wears off when I get back home...but when I am drinking...........*hick-up ya'll* LOL!

jay-t...I'm not much of a mall shopper...but the antiques sound wonderful! Note to Self: Bring empty suitcase for return trip!

Lil...Mmmmmmmmmm! I'm in love with Mexican food, but I fear it doesn't like me anymore. In as dainty a way as I can explain this here...It goes right through me and brings things out of me in the end (if necessary...I'll PM you to make that clearer). Yikes! Gonna have to find a pharmacy that stocks "bottom care" products it seems. I can't leave Texas without some Mexican...er...Mexican food that is! P.S. Is all Mexican food HOT? (<---sounds stupid now that I see it in print)

maddy...I don't know the details or itinerary of the trip yet...even how long we'll stay. I know the convention is 7 days but we never stay for an entire convention. Last one I went to was in Orlando, Fla. and we only stayed 3 days. I'll know more by this weekend. Taking note of your suggestions! TY! Also...Mr. Lixy's boss from Pa. is bringing his wife. His big boss, from Ohio, is coming as well (no wife or g/f). I've known them/her for many years and we get along well. Might have to hang out with her the entire time. It's not a bad thing...she's pretty cool, but I'd like a little time alone if I can swing it *shrug* Oh...and YES, I am a beef eater!

jenna...I would LOVE to meet you as well! We still have the future! As soon as I find out the details of this trip I will know if I should look up some peeps that I know live in the area. :hug: Great to see you!

jseal...Hmmmmmm...standing on that very spot...and even just thinking about it gives me goosebumps! I can see the reel playing in my head as I type. It's something to keep in mind...TY!

osuche...Haven't been to a zoo since I was a child. I was saddened by the animals pacing in the cages. I've been to open range parks since...but I get a sinking feeling when I see caged animals. It's my little quirk and I know some might be better for the care...but it's something I can't help feeling. A football game might not be out of the question (seeing as I am deep into the games this year...lol!). Have to look at the Cowboy's game roster and the timing of my trip. TY hun!

dm...I'm imagining you with a scottish/southern accent now! TYVM! LMFAO!

I'll be finding out more details as time goes on. I'm loving all the suggestions and I'll be able to pin point more places when I know more details!


:hippy:

Another "Yellow Rose of Texas" salute ...

Well, Lixy goes to Texas,
The cowboys raise a cheer,
The rodeos are bonkers,
The bars stock up on beer.

You can have your little ladies;
You can have your handsome beaus,
But the Lixy Chick from PA,
Is the best by far ya knows.

I can see the inns all filling,
I can see the city key,
The whole towns gettin' ready,
To see our dear Lixy,

She's the pride of Pennsylvania,
She's the joy of Pixies Place,
She's the sweetest little lady,
From her tootsies to her face.






:cboy: Those lucky Texans. :cboy:

maddy 10-27-2005 05:59 AM

Not all mexican food is hot.... I swear to it... Like I said, once you know the area of town you will be in, I might be able to suggest some excellent places to dine.

LixyChick 10-28-2005 05:02 AM

db...Oh db! That's your bestest work EVER! I'll be singing it all day! TY sweety!

maddy...Gonna get the poop, the whole poop, and nothing but the poop as soon as all the arrangements are made. Can't wait to find out myself! Good to know not all Mexican food is hot...whew! I love spicy food...but it doesn't love me in the end...lmao!

scotzoidman 10-29-2005 12:00 AM

end of January, huh?...damn, I was hopin' you'd come to see me for my birthday instead...not much I can tell ya about Dallas, I passed thru it once on the way to visit a friend in Arlington (home of GW's ballpark, halfway between Dallas & Ft. Worth), I did notice the Frito-Lay plant along the interstate...my big regret is that I didn't get a chance to see 2 of my cousins who live there, & that I wasn't able to persuade our hosts to direct us to Dealy Plaza...

PantyFanatic 10-29-2005 12:21 AM

Going the last of January is good.:rolleyes2 You can save the Mexican pig-out :bite: for the last day, then hurry back to PA so you can wipe your butt with snowballs for the next week.:hot:
:grin:

LixyChick 11-08-2005 07:43 PM

Hiya again! Got a little more info!

32nd Annual Conference On EXPLOSIVES and BLASTING TECHNIQUE
Jan 29 - Feb 1, 2006
Dallas, Texas USA

With Special ISEE (International Society of Explosives Engineers) Presentation on Safety & Security

ISEE info

So...we'll probably only be going for the "blaster's" weekend...Friday 27th, Saturday 28th, Sunday 29th...and either leave on Sunday or stay till early Monday morning.

As far as I can tell (and it's early in the game) we'll be staying at the Gaylord Texan Resort (wherever the hell that is?) and, from the photos I have of it, it's pretty damn posh!

Mr. Lixy's big boss always picks the best of the best so he can show off. He's a major sponsor of this event every year, and this year they have billed him as a "Gold Level" sponsor. I'm hoping that's because I am coming along...lmfao!...but it's more accurate to think it's because he's been in the biz for many moons!

Anyway...this is what I know now. When I get more info I will be back to request local sites to visit while they are in the boring blast meetings!

XXOO

maddy 11-08-2005 08:33 PM

pssst... Lixy ... Gaylord Texan was on my recommended list of sites to see... you've got it covered now! Grapevine Mills, which was also recommended is in the immediate vacinity as well.

Now I'll be thinking of places to eat ... and sites to see... I know precisely where you will be :)

LixyChick 11-09-2005 06:45 PM

Oh...WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I really need more time to reread the shit I posted and got replies to maddy! So sorry!

Soon as I know more of our schedule I'll get back here and give and get more info!

Please Stand By!

LixyChick 01-26-2006 09:22 AM

Hey Ya'll!!!!

The time has come...

We will be leaving from Philadelphia International Airport on Friday, January 27th. We are flying US Airways/Express Mid-Atlantic Airways, flight 1693 at 11:20am. We'll be flying non-stop to Dallas/Ft.Worth...arriving approx. 2:15pm.

We'll be returning on Tuesday, January 31rst on US Airways, flight 840 at 10:40am from Dallas to Philadelphia...arriving approx. 2:47pm.

Wasn't thinking much about Osama Bin Laden till Mr. Lixy asked me if I was a little bit afraid to fly now since Bin Laden's latest threat. My response was "NO"...because he and I are flying together. If he was taking this trip alone I would be shitting me feckin trouser's over it! But since we'll be together, we'll die together if something should happen. I know it's a really remote possibility, but one can't help thinking of it at some point during a trip these days! And that we will be attending an International Blasting Convention...well, that strikes up some really odd thoughts too. I ain't dwelling on it though...I'll tell you that!

Anyway...so we are off to Dallas tomorrow...YAY! Boss's wife and I will be taking a spa treatment one day while the boys meet with other blaster's. There are soooooooo many to choose from but I think I've settled on the reflexology treatment. It sounds so soothing and therapeutic! The hot rock massage sounds good too. Oh...decisions, decisions!

We are staying at the Gaylord Texan Resort

Check out the services and amenities ^^^

Can't wait to tell you all about it! Wish us luck and safety! See ya when we return!

(((((EVERYONE)))))

Love Ya!

BIBI 01-26-2006 09:25 AM

Scarecrow 01-26-2006 05:17 PM

Do you have your ten gallon hat yet?

Have a safe trip and have loads of fun.

maddy 01-26-2006 06:48 PM

Take some water with you... Texans will appreciate it :)

Have a great time... and if you get a chance to dine outside of Grapevine try some of the following:

Three Forks (North Dallas Tollway) - bestest steak in DFW!
El Fenix (North Dallas Tollway) - excellent and reasonably priced Tex-Mex
MiCoccina (McArthur Blvd, Irving - near Target) - less greasy and slightly more expensive Tex-Mex. Also has a location at the Galleria Mall (North Dallas Tollway)
Red River (I-35E and Northwest Highway) - a true Texan Cowboy bar... an absolute MUST SEE!

Have a wonderful time- the Gaylord is tremendous and beautiful, but be sure to take in some other sights and sounds of DFW too.

WildIrish 01-27-2006 02:50 PM

For those of you interested...


Lixy's flight departed 24 minutes late and just landed safely!!!!!!!!!!

How the hell did they take off 24 minutes late and land 26 minutes early? :confused:


Oh well...they're safe and that's all that matters! Yaaaaaaaaay!
