It's Hotter Than Hell

Yesterday, our actual temperature in Tulsa was 116 degrees.  You read that right...ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN DEGREES.  People were frying eggs on sidewalks and baking cookies in their cars, which by the way were completely baked in 3 hours.  Seriously.  (sofa king hot)

I posted my Okie Housewife Triple Digit Temp Survival Tips over at The RHOK today.  This will be my last post at The RHOK, so stop by and visit me!  Tell me how you're surviving this heat wave...got any tips/tricks of your own?

Oh, and I googled "hotter than hell" images and this came up in my search...

I'm telling you that Google is so smart.

Hope you're all beating the heat and staying cool! 

I'm At The RHOK

I know, I know.  You think I've fallen off the face of the earth...or been abducted by aliens...

I swear I'm still here.  I'm still lurking on your blogs.  I haven't commented and I feel horrible.  I miss you guys so much.

In case you didn't know, my Granny passed away last Saturday and it has been one of the hardest things I've had to deal with.  I miss her so much.  The world just doesn't seem right without her.  My whole 33 years, she's been my constant and my the person I turn to in every situation.  So, it's an adjustment.  I know she is in a better place and she's with my Grandpa, where she's wanted to be since he passed away last August.  I find peace and comfort in that.  I really and truly appreciate each and every one of you who have left sweet comments on my Facebook page, Twitter, and sent emails.  You girls are the best. 

I'm slowly coming out of my blogging funk...being forced out of it today to post over at The RHOK. 

I'm letting my nerd flag fly high and talking about books and summer reading...stop by and join in!

Hope you guys are doing good!  I'll be by to visit soon!

Out To The RHOK

I'm bloggin' it at The RHOK today.  Stop by and visit me?  I'll love you forever...OK, I already love you forever, but I'll love you forever infinity.  hard.  (<---- that's like a lot a lot.)

I'm Playing Housewife Today

I'm out to the RHOK today! 

We're playing In My Neck Of The Woods...come play along!

In Your Neck Of The Woods: JK's Hood

So, what's happenin' in my neck of the woods??  Mrs. Priss at The RHOK wants to know.

For this week's installment of IYNOTW, I decided to take you on a little picture tour of Dub Town.  That's what all the locals call the quaint (I use that term lightly) town I live in.

We have 3 stop lights...I knooooow, it's a metropolis.

If you ever visit, I can guarantee that you'll wait on a train...like 99.9% guarantee.

For the tastiest char-grilled hamburgers in at least 100 miles, you MUST eat at Son's! (ignore the bird poo on my window...according to Michael, I "over use" windshield wiper fluid, sooooo, I'm always out.)

When you reach the highway, it's over...yep that's all she wrote. 

After that, nothing but wide open space...for the next 30 miles...then you reach T-Town...which we pretend like that's a "big city", but friends from REAL big cities tell me that it's not. 

I'll just keep pretending. 

Ignorance is bliss.

Now, try not to be jealous.  And don't everyone flock to NE Oklahoma.  We kinda like it a little less populated.

What's happening in your neck of the woods??  It can be anything pictures, a story, an event...whatever you'd like to share.

Friday Confessional - 02.25

It is that time again.

Time to purge sins and cleanse the soul...and link up with Mamarazzi's Friday Confessional.

 

I confess that I bought a boyfriend for Flat Mama and Flat Mimi...

and then I left him in Impulsive's purse after a wild and crazy GNO.

So, she left him in the mailbox for me the next day. 

Do you have Pocket Jacob's just randomly show up in your mailbox? 

I didn't think so.

I confess that we took Flat Shawn out and showed her a good time. 

She's such a lush. 

(this pic cracks me up...we were at Fox and Hound Pub/Grille...she's the Fox and he's the Hound...get it?!  I kill myself.)

She also took Flat Mimi and Flat Mama's boyfriend for a spin.

I confess that our little GNO trifecta can NOT take self-portraits worth a hoot. 

Thanks to some random drunk girls in the parking lot, we finally got a semi-good pic.

I'm finding some ugly friends. STAT.

I confess that I am so awkward/weird...especially on elevators.  I dont' know what it is, but I have this insatiable desire to say something.  I can't just stand their quietly.  It drives me crazy.  I always end up saying something weird.  Like this morning, I accidentally pushed floor 3 and no one was getting off on 3.  So, I say "oh, I guess our imaginary friend is getting off on 3".  Then, when the doors open, I say "have a nice day"!...to the imaginary friend, of course. 
*insert weird looks from fellow elevator riders*

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday!!

McLinky Monday - Valentine's Day

Today at The RHOK, Mrs. Bundy wants to know how we celebrate Valentine's Day...

Well, Mrs. Bundy, I wish I had something really romantic and mushy and gushy to tell you, but I don't.

We are typically so UNexciting on Valentine's Day.  Usually a movie and dinner is the extent of our celebrations (outside of the bedroom) <------ Did I just say that?  On the blog? 

I do remember our first Valentine's Day together.  It was probably our most cheesy romantic.  It was mid-90's.  I was still rockin' the somewhat poofy bangs.  I borrowed a knee length red dress from my college suite mate...and some red high-heels to match.  She was a sorority girl and never lacked for party attire.  Michael wore a suit jacket and slacks.  I remember that he came up to my dorm to pick me up, flowers in hand...AND in his 25th Anniversary Camaro. 

Hot guy, cool car. 

Who doesn't swoon over that? 

I think we went to a banquet or something...we probably made out. 

How much more awkward could I be?  Maybe I was nervous...yeah, we'll go with that.  Also, I'm making a mental note to never, under any circumstances, wear a dress like that again...it does nothing for a chubby girl.

This year, Michael is sick.  My Granny has been in the hospital.  Our house is in the middle of being finished.  Valentine's Day will not be a grand production. 

OH yeah, BUT we do have a Valentine's Day tree...

That makes up for the lack of celebration this year, right?

How do you celebrate Valentine's Day?

If you want, stop by The RHOK and link up with us today!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Out to the RHOK

I'm posting at The RHOK today.  I posted a little BONUS at the end of my post over there.  If you can make a correct guess, I'm going to give you a little somthin' somthin'.

Here's a glimpse at what my neck of the woods looks like right now...

If you're experiencing Snopocolypse, Snomaggeden...SNOWklahoma, I hope you're staying warm and cozy!

*don't eat the yellow snow...or the brown...especially in my yard*

Flat Night Out On The T-Town

Well, this is a story all about how two Flats flipped T-Town upside down...

They were a couple of girls up to no good

and they started causing trouble round the neighborhood.

They got in one little fight and IA got scared and said..."Flat Mimi...Flat Mama...you girls sit right here."

Of course, they didn't listen.

Think of what they'd be missin.

They were all over town.

They shut the place down.

The rest of the story is best left untold.

After all, they do have a reputation to uphold.

They met some new friends.  

They had a great time. 

Hope you enjoyed my little rhyme.

If you're thinking this looked like fun, you'd be right.

 

Now it's your turn to take Flat Mimi and Flat Mama out for the night!

McLinky Monday - Favorites

Today, at The RHOK, Mrs. Albright is asking us to play along and list our FAVORITES!  So, here it goes...


Favorite Actor.
You all could probably fill in this blank, right?

Duh.  None other than Rob "who's yo daddy" Pattinson!  And NO, I don't just love him because he plays Edward, although that is a big plus in his favor, but I love him as an actor period.  He was phenomenal in Remember Me.  If you haven't watched that movie, you should!  I can't wait for his upcoming role as Jacob Jankowski in Water For Elephants.  The book was fabulous.


Favorite Actress.
I know you THINK I'm going to say "Kristen Stewart", but your wrong.  Although I love her dearly, she is not my most favorite.  My MOST favorite actress is Sandra Bullock.  

LOVE HER!  Name one of her movies and I'll tell you that it's one of my favorites...The Proposal, The Blind Side, Miss Congeniality...she's so fantastic.


Favorite Movie.

Oh geez.  This could get embarrassing.

Favorite Band.

Easy.  Consumed By Fire.  Hands down.

Favorite Musical.

Going to see it for the THIRD time in November!!  It's THAT good!

Favorite Novel.

The Obvious.

The Not-So Obvious.

I'm a HUGE Steph Meyer fan.  I love everything she has written and I can't wait for the next book...whatever it may be.  Midnight Sun would be awesome.  I just want to throw that out there, just in case Steph reads my blog or you have a direct line to her.

Favorite Cuisine.

Pasta.  Just about anyway it comes.

Favorite Wine.

SO good.


Favorite Store.

My Mother Ship.

When they started putting the Bucks INSIDE the stores, they created a beautiful thing.  A match made in heaven.


Favorite Vampire.

No explanation needed.
Oh, but wait.  I'll give you an explanation.  He's my favorite because he's the coolest (pun intended), most chivalrous, kind-hearted, loving, devoted, loyal, and most beautiful vampire I've ever known.


Favorite Prime Time TV Series.

I also can't get enough of those cool kids at Seattle Grace (Grey's Anatomy) and equally cool kids at Oceanside Wellness (Private Practice)!  Can't wait for them to be back on in just a couple of weeks!!


Favorite Time Waster.
You're witnessing it in action.  Not that I consider blogging a waste of time, but it is my biggest distraction.  I love it.  I would do it 24/7, if I could figure out how to get paid for it! 


On that note, I've gotta get off of here and back to work.  I think I just heard my boss yell at me!  YIKES!


Hope you guys have a great day!  Go check out more FAVORITEs over at The RHoK!
