Ketchup!!!

I'm still alive!!!  Promise!  Ever gone a week without internet AND cable?  Yeah, I just did that.  I thought I was gonna die.  Ok, so we had cable in the bedroom but I like to sit on my couch and watch the big screen.  Don't know how we had it in the bedroom except that it isn't digital and they didn't know we used it (haha, take that evil corporation!).  I got a lot of reading done though, that's for sure.  I also got some sleep in for once which, if you know me or pay attention to my posting times, is amazing.

As I said in my last phone post, Norman got some crazy weather earlier this week.  I was stuck in my favorite piercing/tattoo parlor watching their window (that is held up by scotch tape) bend inwards.  I thought I'd be digging glass out of my forehead for sure!  Thankfully, the scotch tape held.  Unfortunately, the shop flooded from both the front and back.  The whole town lost power at least once, or so I was told.

I got home and found my back fence laying down.  The panel by my bedroom window broke the post in half.  Poor puppies can't have their backyard back until we fix it.  They are going crazy and driving me bonkers at the same time!  Two pent up dogs that are used to wrestling in the backyard bringing their favorite playtime activity to the bed and the entire living room isn't fun...  They go for hours!!!  I swear it's like my dogs have caffeine drips!!  They're ridiculous.

So that's why I have been gone and failed to post every day like I had challenged myself.  I plan to make up for it today and add a few days in July so I have my 30.

Without further ado, my pictures:
Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most screwed up things with.

Obviously, we're together all the time lol.  He's my partner in crime.

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

If I have to explain this one, I'm sorry.  The ones in Oklahoma have gotten HUGE!!  And it's like my blood is full of sugar or something...  You would think all the garlic I eat would help, nope! 

Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

As I have said before, I'm a little obsessed with these.  In fact, Matt told me would could buy a walk in freezer and get me a penguin!  He's the sweetest.

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

Ok, so I don't really have a favorite, but Zombie has always been top 10.  I get to go see him live in exactly a month.  Super excited bout that one.  Plus he makes some badass movies.

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

I know you guys have seen this one before, but it's the only photo of us I can find.  I know I have more but that requires finding my camera cord and I'm lazy.

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

It's on my bucket list actually!

I would go into a long lengthy dialogue for these, but I figure a really long post would suck right now.


The piercings are healing nicely.  I love them!  I don't think my mother really does, but at least I can remove these if I get tired of them haha.  I haven't gotten anything permanent yet.  I have plans though!  You guys will get pictures of those of course.  Speaking of pictures, my photoshoot has been pushed back a month which both sucks and rocks.  Sucks because I finally started getting over my self-confidence issues.  You wouldn't have known I had those issues Wednesday night, oddly enough.  I was playing *ahem*topless*ahem* beerpong in my bestie's pool.  Shameless plug: Go to Spencer's Gifts and buy a glowing, floating beerpong table.  You won't regret it!  It also has an iPod dock.


Sorry tangent...  It rocks because I have another month to workout, tan a little, and buy more outfits for it.  I know for a gothic, pinup shoot I shouldn't be tan but a little can't be too bad.  Besides if I plan to go on the river or lake this summer, I have to get a base tan or I'll look like a tomato the rest of the summer.  Painful.


Anyway, I'm gonna get my nerd on and finish Star Wars with the boys.  In the words of this last random commercial "Get out there and nail something!" (not sure what it was for)


Love!!!

Thankful Thursday

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you find it difficult to be thankful for the little things at times?  Yeah it was one of those weeks.  However, this constant presence of mind to be thankful for at least one thing a day, has been extremely helpful.  So I have found several things lately to be thankful for.

• The much needed rain we've been experiencing.
• That my house and my family's houses went undamaged this week.
• The fact that our Thunder played so well as a very young team and gave us something to believe in other than OU football.
• My wonderfully understanding boyfriend, who has been very open minded when it comes to me experimenting to find my way in this world.  He seems to embrace my eclectic-ness like a security blanket at times.
• Having such supportive friends and coworkers.  They seem to understand my strangeness and know when to push for answers with me.
• Living in a community where others treasure their pets as much as we do.  I found a public place to take the pups if the weather gets bad again.  OU dorms allows pets in the basements, gonna make sure to have the crate for Roxi though in case she freaks out.

 My thoughts go out to those I know who have been affected by these horrific storms.  And to those I don't of course.

I hope you all have found something, no matter how small, to be thankful for this week.

Love!!

Today was my first day off in two weeks.  It was soooo nice to have a day off!!  I was going to try to get things done around the house like cleaning the bathroom and laundry.  It seems like I can never get the things done that I want/need to on my rare days off.

So instead of cleaning, I went and played my first actual game of Frisbee golf.  So much harder than it looks!!  I haven't gotten up the courage to tally up my score yet.  I do know that my score on the front nine was horrendous but it got better on the back nine.  I never hit par on any of them, but I did bogey a few.  And by a few, I mean very few haha.  I did have a lot of fun with the boys.  I also realized that I don't really like the disc Matt bought for me.  Thankfully he does!

We were supposed to go play at new course a few hours later, but after a 3 hour first game I was exhausted.  I decided to let Matt have boy bonding time and watch a million more episodes of The Vampire Diaries.  It was a successful day, even if I didn't do anything productive.  Unless you count a 3 hour walk and playing sport during said walk as something productive.

We FINALLY got rain on Sunday.  We needed it so badly.  Unfortunately it rained and rained and rained.  So many places flooded.  The pond at the disc golf course was way up.  My brother has a picture of the bayou near my parents' house.  It's completely flooded!

This road is a good 20 foot longer than this.

The river we float on near by is up further than I have ever seen it.  You can read the news story about it here.  I have uploaded the video from a news story about it.

It's crazy what weather can do.  In fact, my front yard now looks like this

Ok, so maybe not exactly like this but pretty damn close.  It was getting bad before the rain but now it's growing exponentially.  We need a lawn mower badly.  That, however, takes extra money which as just about everybody knows, is hard to come by in this economy.  Meh, we'll eventually figure something out.  Until then, the dogs can have fun exploring this strange jungle we call a yard.

Bleh, I have to be up and at work at 6am so I should probably get off here!  Goodnight!!!

Love!!

Crazy Oklahoma

So Oklahoma got hit by some massive storms yet again today.  Norman was bypassed, again.  While being saved from all the rotation and tornadoes is great, we need the rain badly.  I can't even move my little garden outside yet because it is so dry.  I'm very sad about this.  We have the humidity but none of the actual moisture.  That's Oklahoma for you, though.  Sorry this post is so short, I'm having one of my migraines right now.  More about that later.  Hope you are all safe tonight.

Love!!
