life savings, gone...

i swear, buying a house really is all the trouble that people say. i've just gone through my first purchase, and it is a full-time job! that said, being in the home and making it yours is actually pretty spectacular.

making the actual move from dallas to fort worth was less difficult for me than moving last year from uptown to the m-streets...a 3 mile move! i was emotional and crazed about it...and this, well, it just felt right. no tears, just excitement.

i think i spent my life savings on closing costs and home depot purchases, but it's an investment, correct?!?!?

looking forward to all that is in store...now, on to planning a wedding!

i took this little quiz (click on the link below), i thought i'd share the link for all. it might be helpful in educating yourself on who to vote for, and it's interesting reading the other points of view.

to follow up to the previous post...

Bush vs. Sanders

wow. these guys are amazing.

but i must say, A.D. could do this all day if he had an offensive line like that...and a healthy collarbone. ugh.

and isn't it ironic...don't ya think?

reading the article (pasted below) on cnn this morning made me think of that alanis morisette song, 'ironic'...talk about a freak accident! http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/19/stingray.reut/index.html

i think the stingrays are out to get us, people, so watch out! it's like a crossbreed of jaws and a stingray all in one!

dogs are the greatest creatures on earth. anyone that knows me knows i believe this wholeheartedly, greatly in part to my own mckenzie (yorkie) and norman (golden retriever).

today i read the reason # 7,486,321 (as if we needed another one) that cats suck and dogs rule.

fort worth

i'm sad to leave dallas and all of the wonderful friends i have here. however, i think fort worth will be a fun change, and only a short drive away! i found this today and it made me even happier...a first moment of pride shared with my new-found community!

i don't want to talk about it, so don't bring it up...the game is over and the wrong team won. thanks to our whopping five turnovers, we lost the game for ourselves. the numbers clearly show us as the winners, and we lost because of sloppy play.



i will say, all that aside, we had a fun day...

it's finally here

OU v tx weekend is finally upon us, and i am so fired up! i can't concentrate and i can hardly sit still because of all the anticipation.



sam moon is probably already at 110% capacity with large women dressed in crimson and burnt orange fighting over purses and cheap jewelry. i'm planning to cut out early and drive by just to giggle and take pictures.

tonight i am participating in creating extra insanity by meeting a large group at mi cocina in hp village (can you possibly think of a place with a more insane crowd of people). i think i might wear an OU jersey or "stoops for president" just to shake things up...giggle.

tomorrow morning at 10am, the official OU bandwagon crew is meeting at my house. we will do the fair: a corn dog, dog show, jack's fries, and then...THE GAME! i don't like to make predictions, so i'll just say BOOMER SOONER.



after the game half the city will be elated, half deflated. but either way, there will be massive amounts of partying, craziness and crowds. and i love all of it. the red river shoot out is the greatest weekend all year in dallas, and i couldn't be more excited. let the games begin...GO SOONERS!
