search

This past weekend, the kids wanted to go to a movie. So I had them search online for a movie theater near us that had a matinee for the movie they wanted to see at a time that worked for us.
When searching oldest daughter said, What’s the name of the theater where we saw [...]

cool

Smokey knows how to stay cool in this Oklahoma heat. 

hot

It’s really hot here in central Oklahoma these days.  Hotter than should be allowed.

Each summer I wonder why in the world I live here in this heat and humidity with no ocean breeze to cool us off at night.  The reason?  Because my parents are here.  Why do my parents stay here?  Because my sister [...]

as seen on tv

As of late, I’m fully embracing my self-proclaimed unofficial title of “AS-SEEN-ON-TV-tester.”
Yesterday, I bought the Ped Egg at my local nightmare department store.  I tried it last night, moisturized, put on socks, and woke up to incredibly smooth, soft feet.  I’ve tried a lot of products seeking to get rid of dry, calloused feet.  I [...]

my week

This past week felt like the longest week!  We had training at work on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.  It was off-site and really got my internal schedule mixed up, I think.  All day Wednesday I thought it was Thursday, so I got to have two Thursdays.  Lucky me.
I spent a lot of [...]

2. What is the furthest from home that you have been, and where is it? I’ve been to Canada, Mexico, Florida and Washington. I’m not sure which is farther away since I’m right in the middle.
3. [...]

a hard lesson learned

My youngest daughter learned a valuable lesson today.  She learned that it’s not always ok to say everything you think and feel whenever you think and feel it.  Especially not on myspace.  Sometimes it’s best to keep things to yourself or to let it sit for a while and gain perspective before putting it out [...]
