Dirty Banana Pants

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, […]

So, I’ve taken a bit of a sabbatical…although, I haven’t really gone anywhere, nor can I say that I’ve learned anything new.  But it’s a fancy word, and if anyone asks why I haven’t posted in awhile, I’ll just give them that answer.
I have a few friends going through a very similar situation.  Both married […]

Okay, so I suck.  I started my new job and have been sucked into a huge black hole.  Or, I went on a 2-week long business trip and my wireless Internet wasn’t working so I was cut off from the word…

The whole time I’m evaluating situations and trying to pick what I would blog about […]

Since becoming employed, not only am I smart, I’m better looking and I can sing, too!

During my unfortunate unemployment (or fortunate?) I have been accomplishing quite a bit.  I’ve managed to get the world to donate to my women’s club…yep, I sure did.  I’ve also managed to make a bit of money…but not in the illegal way.  I have boxes and boxes of clothes left over from the little Jake […]

We took the little kiddos to the fair over the weekend.  Jake and Shelby each rode the ferris wheel for the first time in their lives.  I got a glance at how exciting that is.  You get old, crabby, and forget what it’s like to experience something for the very first time.  So fun.  I […]

Everything had been going pretty well, lately.  Sunday night, I received a phone call from someone very close to me.  He was upset and I spoke with him at length about the situation.  I thought, after I hung up, that he would calm down a bit, get some rest, and move forward. 
The next morning my phone […]

Last week I mentioned that I took my mother to see Elizabeth Edwards speak.  I failed to mention what I missed in order to attend.  A few days before, my “team” at work was discussing the graduation of some gentlemen from a program sponsored by our department.  They were going to have a dinner for them […]

 No, I did not kill my co-worker.  Not yet.
Last weekend, we my parents babysat for us overnight.  Woo hoo!  Stew participated in a golf tournament and we met some friends out for dinner afterwards.  We stayed out until a whopping 10:30pm.  Go us. 
The next morning was pleasant.  We were able to eat our breakfast in […]
