Many Faces of Me

Running into People you know....

Use to,  I couldn't go anywhere without running into 20 people I knew.  Sometimes it would take me hours to run errands because of this. Not that I didn't love to run into my friends or chat it up... cause I love to chat it up! But it caused me to forget stuff and it took me for ever to catch up to my day.

When we moved to OKC, I didn't have that problem.  At first it was nice to go somewhere and get my stuff done without the distractions. And I saved time and rarely forgot to get something cause my mind was on task. 

In the last week I have ran into one person who I never thought I would run into again in my life... Like literally of all the people to run into... that was freaky!  I ran walked into Hobby Lobby and saw a fried from Guymon at the check out. Then I ran into 2 different people I knew from Yukon at Target and another person at 7-11.

Friday, we went to see the Baseball game in Bricktown.  *side note* Not as exciting as watching NBA action or nowhere near the noise level in the OKC THUNDER arena, but still lots of fun in the great outdoors! 

We sat on the lawn at first where I devoured a hot dog (no baseball game is complete without a dog) and saw a cool firework show behind right field after the game.  As we leave, I hear my name... which is odd... not my name -  just hearing it in a crowd in OKC.. so I turn around to see a Shelly... a friend from Guymon!  We visit for a minute and then after we say our goodbyes, I hear my name again... which is even MORE odd, because this is twice now... it was one of my co workers from YHS!  We gave a hug, introduced spouses, talked shop and then went about our way. 

I like starting to run into friends again.

The Stick - Belsons Dream come true...

Belson, aka Belly, loves his sticks!  We usually get him a package and they last about a month and he wants one every day.  We know when it is time... not only does he start "Jonesin'" but he gets up in your face and starts whining... we can tell the signs and probably should seek a rehab for him and this addiction, yet we, being the suppliers that we are... go to the cabinet where he closely watches us pull out a stick and just before his tail falls completely off from the excitement... we throw it and he is in heaven... or under the couch growling... same place when a stick is involved.

ANYWAY... Dennis and I thought it would be funny to get him a really BIG stick...One he couldnt' possibly ever be able to eat... and it has proven to be a great source of entertainment for us for a week now.  He can't pick it up... so he drags it everywhere... in his bed, under our bed, on top of our bed, in our closet, under the table,  at the doggie door... (he can't seem to figure out how to drag it out that dang thing) and in the middle of the living room floor where I trip over it.  STUPID STICK! 

At any rate here is pictures of Belson and his new friend... "The Stick"!

Best of Both Worlds

My builder called me today with an exciting proposel.  He has offered to buy the land, build the building that I want and let me lease it for at least 2 years.  This would mean all I have to do is buy the equipment!  WOW!  In two years I could buy the daycare and only have to pay 10% down... If we decide to go this route, I will still work for the school and offer my daughter the directors job and have her run the center.  She has done it for 6 years... she can totally do it!  I could have the best of both worlds!

Thunder Rolls

I ran to Homeland to pick up a few things for dinner tonight and while I was there the song "Thunder Rolls" was playing.  I found it ironic for some reason.  Maybe the fact that as I was picking out fresh vegetables and the sprinkler system that sits over the produce section started thundering warning the shopper that it was fixing to spray the produce,  or the fact that Garth Brooks was singing the song and I was in Yukon, his home town... the fact that  we are OKC thunder... or the fact that it actually is thundering outside!
