Weekend

This weekend Joe and I drove down to Oklahoma to visit friends and see our old campus. Did you know we met almost eight years ago at the University of Oklahoma? We were just freshmen and I could never remember how to get to the Union from the dorms. Ha!


While we were there this weekend we went to an Oklahoma basketball game. It has been SO LONG since I've attended an OU sporting event and I LOVE LOVE LOVE cheering for the Sooners.


I feel like when I go to sporting events I spend a lot of time looking at things other than the game. I have sport ADD. I love looking at the cheerleaders, watching the mascots and looking at what people are wearing. You have got to commend a man who will wear basketballs on his pants!


We also took the chance to have a marathon eating session for things we can't get in Kansas. Here is just a selection of things we ate.

I realize if you're not from Oklahoma this may mean nothing to you but just imagine me PORKING OUT. Ha!

Did y'all have a good weekend??

Blog Award

Moya at Life by Design (don't you love that bloggy name?!) has bestowed upon me this fabulous blog award. Her blog is one of my favorites - she actually writes meaningful posts as opposed to mine which are usually about clothes or food and I love to read her thoughts! Thank you!!!!


So here are the rules:- List 10 things that make you happy. Tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day and link back to the person that tagged you.

1) Nutella. I discovered it in Paris and I think I was born again. (told you most of my posts were about food)

2) The Bachelor. I love prime time reality tv drama!

3) Games of all kinds. Scattergories, anyone? How about Pictionary? Or Risk?

4) Traveling. Well, I do it a lot for a living so it helps that it's on someone else's dime!

5) Scratchers tickets. It's the only reason I carry change in my wallet.

6) Baseball season. The sound of the crack of the bat. Who am I kidding. I love ballpark hotdogs. (more food)

7) Starbucks. Tall Non Fat Peppermint Mocha with Extra Peppermint and Extra Hot. Please.

8) Small towns. There's no stoplight in the town I come from. And I like it that way.

9) Math. I was a mathlete in high school.


10) My dog. He barks in his sleep bless his little heart.

bringing him home from the hospital..err.. breeder

Tell me what you think!

Have a fantastic Friday!!!!!

Dinner Theater

Last week I was talking to Joe about how I wish our generation went to more shows. Live shows with actors. Musicals. With an actual stage. Don't get me wrong, I love-love-love the movie theater but don't you think there's just something cool about seeing an actual production? I do!

But then I didn't think anything else of it.

Joe came home from work on Friday last week with a "surprise" and told me to get ready...


When we got downtown he told me he had gotten tickets to the local dinner theater. The show was called "All Shook Up" and it was a musical set in the 50s about a small town. A new guy (who resembled Elvis) comes into town who is full of spirit and boots the morale of the town.

They had a huge buffet before the show. We ate like little piggies!!


Then we ordered the Chocolate Peanut Butter Explosion cake. Oh-em-gee.

When was the last time you went to an actual play or musical?? Don't you think there's something special about live performances??

Joe is on call tonight so it's me and the dog. I think I'll go pick up some food and watch a movie in bed.

Happy Wednesday to you!!

Three Day Weekend

Joe and I had a three day weekend Saturday-Monday so we booked a hotel in Arkansas for a relaxing getaway.

And then we found out that we were supposed to get ice. And snow.

So we decided to stay home and put that money towards re-doing our office. Except it's not really a re-do if you never did it in the first place. ;-)

We painted the walls Behr Sandwashed Driftwood.


I've got some vintage suitcases and a vintage game table I'm putting in there.

And I'm going to have pictures to show you! Soon!

Blind

Two nights ago Joe and I both had eye exams and for whatever reason the doc decided to dilate both of our eyes. FUN TIMES. And then we tried to pick out glasses. Blindly. Now that's a genius marketing scheme. It took so long to get through the appointments that we totally missed our next DANCE class. I know you're disappointed!!

Anyway, can I show you the glasses I picked out? What do you think?

Then last night I talked Joe into taking me to five dollar movie night so I could see Dear John. It's based on the Nicholas Sparks book which I read a long time ago.


Cried. Like. A. Baby.

And don't you hate it when they end a movie with a sad scene and then BAM the lights go on in the theater?? Give the people time to put themselves back together!! Ha!

On a side note, one thing I really want to do this week is to clean out my tupperware closet. It's embarrassing. So now that I've told you I am accountable for it! :)

Hope you have a great Thursday!

Unexpected Laundry Room Cuteness

I have a folder on my computer of house inspiration pictures. When I run across something great I always save it to my hard drive and I hope that someday we will be lucky enough to build our own home and I can incorporate some of these things!

I wanted to show you that even a laundry room can be cute. (I call it a "mud room" but I think that's a mid-western thing - I've had people make fun of me for that! Ha!)

These would definitely make me want to do laundry more often! :)

Aren't those fantastic??!
