Only in Oklahoma--1-2-3-4-6-5-7-8-9-0

I snapped this pick at the Sonic near our home. Here in Oklahoma we haven't learned to count.

It's 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. Come on Okies, we can do it.

Repeat after me "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10."

**sigh**

Drunken Yoga

My hubs sent me an email the other day with the below images comparing yoga poses to drunken poses. Maybe you've seen these, if not here's your laugh for the day (hopefully you've laughed a couple times today). Maybe I'll quit doing yoga and just start getting drunk more often.

Balasana pose

Setu Bandha Sarvangasana pose

Marjayasana pose

Halasana pose

Dolphin pose

Savasana pose (not to be confused with the "completely passed out pose").
Namaste or drink up---whichever works for you!

Percy, If You Please

Been awhile, huh?

I haven't really told you all about the newest members of our family. About 3 months ago we adopted two, TWO, tiny baby Manx kittens. Google Manx to find out more about this unique breed of cat, they are quite interesting and they certainly aren't your typical cat. Where it says they act more like dogs than cats, yeah, that's true. I'll show you more pictures later and tell you a little more about them, but today I'm going to introduce you to lazy bones, a.k.a. Percy. He's crazy. He thinks he can take on our dogs (he can't, but he thinks he can). He's a lap kitty and when he decides to take a nap he makes himself comfortable where ever HE pleases!

This is a normal sleep position for him.

Raise your hand if you're spoiled.
That darn cat!

I Miss You My Rich & Creamy Friend

My dear friend...I miss you so...I just wanted to let you know.
I didn't mean for that to be a poem, I'm just really missing my friend Venti Decaf Mocha today.

P.S. I gave up Starbucks for Lent.

Batter Up!

Last night my Patrick had his first ever t-ball game. This was a huge moment for us--he's been waiting and waiting for this day. He was so excited and let me just tell you 4 & 5 year old t-ball has got to the be the cutest and funniest thing EVER! You'll have to put up with me over the next 2 1/2 months as I document this journey.

Patrick in the official St. Mary's Cubs uniform.

That for sure is a home run!

Playing first base (that's WM--the first base coach. The coaches are on the field with the team who is fielding, too).

Is This What's Important

Spring Break if officially over...I dropped off Katie at school this morning and we were instantly back into our routine. I loved spring break, we had a great week! But as you can see I didn't even look at this ol blog during spring break. But, now that we back into the swing of things, I'm going to try my best to get back to regular blogging. So here we go.

Not to be a Debbie Downer on a Monday morning, but I gotta get this one off my chest. Recently these two magazines arrived in our mailbox. I don't normally read either of these (I prefer to read my InStyle and Runners World magazines), but look at the front covers of these magazines, I couldn't help but read the article coinciding with the covers.


Good grief--where are our priorities and morals, people? I know the world isn't all sunshine and butterflies, but really...there's an "adultery marketplace?" And what about those athletes who we all think are so great, who have criminal backgrounds. If they weren't athletes I bet you'd just think they were punk kids who are trouble. But if they are an athlete, oh by all means, give them a second chance. Maybe it's those non-athletes that need the second chance.

Well, well, well....I'll jump off my soap box since I could go on and on. But what do you think of these things? What are you doing to teach your kids to be honest and moral citizens of our world when they are bombarded with this kind of thing day after day? I'd like to hear.

Have a nice Monday!

Get the Sillies Out!

If you're a parent I hope you'll find this funny. As a now-parent and former-journalist I find it hilarious. But what I find funny, a lot of people don't.

So, here ya go...enjoy Katie Couric gettin' her sillies out.
