bowlin' with the homies 

$10 for cosmic bowling, $5 for a beer, $1 to print a cute "bowling pic", katy's score 163, jay's shoes (and unnamed score)...priceless.

two words: cosmic bowling

tonight, a crew of us went to don carter lanes and did a bit of cosmic bowling. this was to start of a new thing...in the tradition of our parents' "supper club," i have started "game night" for some of our friends. tonight was the kick off. good times, people, good times.

i have to say, i don't believe i've participated in any cosmic bowling since the good ol' waco days, but wow, it was fun. i think i may have to make this a regular activity, just please, don't tell anyone. unless of course, you want to join us next time...we can always make room for one more.

lee harvey's

i guess this is something i just feel a need to blog about...to share with my blog-reading friends. about a place i cannot explain in words...it's a little bit of everything i like wrapped up into one. that place, my friends, is called lee harvey's. there are several elements of my favorite flavors that qualify this place for greatness:

1. dive - oh yes, this would be described as a dive. very small, unique, and great for people watching.

2. food,beverage - delicious. and you can order vegetarian but you can also get a charcoal hamburger! and they serve things like pabst blue ribbon...it just entertains me, people.

3. location - south of downtown, random and out of place...enough to keep a lot of people on edge. i like that.

4. fire pits, picnic tables, rock/gravel grounds, dogs allowed, live music.

need i say more? just check it out, oh and call me when you decide to go, we'll grab a picnic table and people watch together. www.leeharveys.com

terrifying hurricane coverage

i am completely addicted to this news coverage of the hurricane. this is terrifying and it is amazing to me that so many of these people are not taking this evacuation seriously. i pray that these people are able to escape this horrible pending catastrophe. i love the city of new orleans, and that entire part of the country. my heart goes out to all of the people left behind, and i hope that many more will be able to make it out.

it's times like this that you really start to think about what is really important.

hooray, it's fall...BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!

friends, fall is officially upon us. no, the air has yet to turn crisp (at least in dallas), but the kids are in school and football season is here.

i awoke this morning to the wonderful sound of kirk herbstreit's voice coming through my t.v., and i was happy, not only because of the outrageous crush i have on him, but because this was the first REAL indication that football season is finally here. the first of many saturday mornings watching espn's game day had begun. i raced to the door to get the paper and find out the high school football scores, listened to the madness of lee corso, it was great. i couldn't think of a thing at that moment that would make me happier. then i realized, this time next week i'll be in norman, at memorial stadium watching the first OU game of the season...bliss.

BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

puppies

my parents were out of town last week, the same week they found out they got maddy, the little puppy that stole my heart. i had the pleasure of keeping her for a few days until they got back into town. i had a blast hanging out with mckenzie, chloe (my parent's dog), and maddy (new puppy), when they came back to texas and took her home, my heart was broken. i'm such a sap for these dogs!

funny friends
