Dirty Banana Pants

Friday evening the babysitter arrived and I am waiting for Stew to get ready.  We are to meet another couple out for dinner.  While sitting with the sitter, a commercial for one of the local casinos is on television.  It reminds me of when Ding-a-ling won over $250k on a slot machine.  I tell the […]

I don’t know what it is, but the newscasters here try their damnedest to link something notable to Oklahoma City.  No matter how significant it is.  For example, several years ago a horrible crime took place in Kansas or Missouri.  The story was all over the national news, everyone was shocked.  Our newscasters lead in their […]

Saturday was my niece Lauren’s birthday.  She had her party at a dreadful place called “Sweet ‘n Sassy”.  It is a salon….and I use that term loosely, for tween girls filled with loads of crap for you buy for your children.  The birthday party would consist of each of the girls dressing up in an […]

I have a good track record of never being in a wedding.  I’ve attended a few, but have never actually been in one.  I have been asked, and each time the wedding was called off.  I consider myself to be a wedding jinx.  The only wedding I was asked to be in…and I use that […]

My very first concert I attended was Alabama.  I didn’t necessarily like their music, but my friend Mandy invited me.  We were 11.  The next concert after that I attended changed my life.  I went with a group of girls, in the 7th grade, to see…..RICK SPRINGFIELD!  I remember it was a general admission show, […]

Thursday morning, I woke up and decided to stay home with my little sickly children.  Shelby was still running a low grade temperature and Jake was feeling well.  I called my Dad to inform him that he was being relieved of his duties and he told me that he was now running a fever, himself.  […]

Today a colleague of mine IM’d me about an upcoming work trip.  We are going to Kansas City and trying to plan “cool” stuff so we won’t know we are in Kansas City.  He just got back from a deep sea fishing trip that lasted 3 weeks (I secretly hate him and envy him all […]

It’s birthday season in our house and all is BROKE.  My birthday was a few weeks ago…and guess what I got?  Guess….guess…no, that’s not it, try again….give up?  The Flu…..  Word to your Mother.  Stewy made arrangements for a very fancy schmancy hotel suite in downtown OKC…woo hoo, dinner, the works.  It was all I […]

Oklahoma City made national news today.  That’s right…everyone who logs onto cnn.com will, of course, be clicking the headline Mayor to town: Lose 1 million pounds.  Our mayor, Mick Cornett, has challenged the city of OKC to get off of their fat asses and lose some weight.  As I’ve been mulling over this story in […]

Live Science has a list of the most literate cities in the nation.  They mention the top 10 cities and even gave honorable mentions to those that didn’t make the top 10.  Oklahoma City, although I have no idea where we ranked, we did not make the top 10, nor did we receive an honorable mention.
However, […]
