Unloading the Camera

Life has been busy. 

My camera is full.


We have another busy weekend coming up.


So, I thought I should dump my pics and post some for you guys to see.  

Remember a couple of weeks ago was Michaelpalooza? 

Somebody around here is 34...over a 1/3 of the way to 100.

I told you guys that we're up to our ears in football.  I can NOT resist taking pictures of these little guys.  Check this one out...he has his eyes closed.  LOL.  Maybe that's some new football technique we don't know about?

 They finally got Their first win!! The funny thing about this picture is that there were boys running both ways through the cheerleader's tunnel and colliding in the middle...and they thought it was hilarious, so they just kept doing it.  Gotta love 6 year olds.

I met up with a couple of friends last week for margaritas, Mexican food, and memories.  Good times.

I've known these girls forever.  What I love most about our GNOs is that we can not see each other for weeks, months, or even years and when we finally get together again it's like no time has passed. 

As you can see, my new blog design is up thanks to the Design Girl!!  





What do you think?!


Hope everyone is having a super fab week so far!  Stop back by tomorrow for a giveaway!!

Football Fever

I know some of you...*achem*Mimi*achem*...aren't a fan of the gridiron  

but football is a way of life for us. 

The first of September brings  

Friday night lights and 

Saturday sensations...

and Sunday afternoon heroes.

  

We eat, sleep, and drink football.  

So, please excuse me while I unload 

the last 164 pictures off of my camera...

I kid.

I won't bore you with the entire batch, 

but I'm going to post some highlights.

I've got everything from little boys...

to the big boys...

There is only ONE Oklahoma.

I love the Boys of Fall!

I especially LOVE my Alma Mater and meeting up with friends from college!♥

Who's your favorite team? 

 If you don't have a favorite team...

what's your favorite color?  

I can match you up with a team you can support! =)
please say red, please say red, please say red.
I can teach you some cheers and we could even build a pyramid in the back yard.
Sorry, that's the inner cheerleader in me coming out.  

Hodgepodge

This post is just a hodgepodge of random thoughts. I was thinking that perhaps I made that word up in my mind, because I do that often, but then quickly opened up another browser window and punched it in to the hand-dandy http://www.dictionary.com/ and found out that I did NOT make it up! whew. It means a"heterogeneous mixture". Yep, that's what this post is going to be a heterogeneous mixture. I like using big words. That one is going into my long term memory. So, I said I was going to blog more frequently and here I am. I know you're stoked.

First, I would just like to say that I am ECSTATIC that football is right around the corner, hence the new blog header. I love my SOONERS! There is only ONE Oklahoma...you did know that right? If you're unsure, you should watch this video...






Are you PUMPED? I am. I love it.



Second, I would just like to say for my fellow Twi-holics out there that we are now a mere 92 days away from NEW MOON!! Wow. Have any of you been to a TwiCon? I want to go to one. Like bad. There are about 10 of them coming up in the next year. I want to be at one of them. I'm not sure what they do at a Twilight Convention, but I want to find out.

Maybe one of them will show up?

Random topic #3, I weighed in at WW yesterday for the first time since vacation and I gained half of a pound. I was disappointed yesterday, but today I decided I'm going to look at it as an accomplishment. I mean, I did go on vacation for 6 days and totally enjoyed myself while I was gone...no regrets. I WILL do better this week. I've been drinking water like crazy. I wish there was a way to drink lots of water and not go to the bathroom every 22 minutes. ugh! I brought lots of veggies and fruit with me to work today. No eating out!

I thought I would share an easy Weight Watcher recipe with you. It may not sound very good, but you should try it...you might like it!

Bean Soup

1 can beef broth

1 can fat free re-fried beans

1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes and peppers)

Mix all three cans together and bring to a low boil.

It's fast and easy...and only 1 point per cup on WW! You can put a ham sandwich or a veggie quesadilla with this soup and it's a yummy low-point/low-cal meal! Another variation is to add tortilla strips or baked tortilla chips in the soup with some low-fat cheese. Good!

Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS day!!

It's BEDLAM!

Y'all know what today is? It's Bedlam! Are you excited? I am!! This is the time of year where OU (THE University of Oklahoma) faces OSU (the OTHER State University...jk...Oklahoma State University)! It is always a good game, but today's game is a more important than most. Whoever wins this game will determine their own destiny. For OU, it means going to the Big 12 Championship and on to the National Championship. The OU/OSU game is always high-energy and intense and this year will only be better. The game will be aired on ABC!

It's football at it's finest...it's Bedlam!

BOOMER SOONER, BABY!

OU/Texas Tech Game

Saturday night's game was probably the best game that I've been to at Owen Field EVER!! For me it was more exciting than the OU/Nebraska game in 2000. OU was #5 and Texas Tech was #2...the stakes were high...the stands were loud...and the shoot-out was on!

The crowd was a whopping 85,000+! At 30 minutes prior to game time, the Pride of Oklahoma took the field and the electricity was almost visible. We were packed in there like sardines. Stoops had called us out. He said that OU wasn't the loudest stadium he'd ever been to and that the fans weren't that pivotal in a game. Reverse psychology? Maybe. Whatever it was, it worked!! Everybody was loud, proud, and on their feet. We had Bradford and Harrell in the same stadium...we were sure we were going to see some action and just praying that it was in OU's favor. The first quarter got off to a great start with OU's defense stopping the Raiders and the OU offense making the first touchdown of the game. That's key. It kind of sets the momentum of the game. No one was going anywhere...thirsty, you'll have to wait...need to pee, well that'll wait too. Mike and I hadn't ate since we left Wagoner, like 5 hours prior, but that didn't matter either. With every touchdown the excitement grew...we were screaming and yelling and jumping up and down...high-fives everywhere. They started playing that old song Jump Around by House of Pain (maybe?). Imagine 85,000 fans all "jumping around"...crazy! At half-time, the score was in our favor and the momentum was going our way. There was an interception and the crowd went wild! The second half was no different. The crowd was off-the-hook and Sam and crew were right on target. The defense was shutting Tech down. It was great! I don't think anyone thought that it would end like it did. I myself had felt good about the game, no bad feelings (like I felt when we played Texas), but never did I think we would win so decisively. BOOMER SOONER!!

Here's some more pics from the game:

*remember to pause my playlist before starting video*



Cold much?

Final score

Sooners win!

One of my favorite places on campus.

Student Union

Our favorite place to eat after a game...Raising Cane's Chicken...YUMM-O!

Boomer Sooner, Baby!
