OU vs OSU 106th Edition

Alright tonight is the BIG game and is not to be missed!  The Sooners have long been the big brother in this series with wins in over 75 percent of the matchups since 1904, including the last eight. How lopsided has this rivalry been? Oklahoma has 26 30-point wins in the series and Oklahoma State has just one.

If the Cowboys can overcome this historical precedent they have a chance to re-write their record books. Oklahoma State has never been to BCS game and hasn’t even won a share of a conference title since 1976, when they split the Big 8 title three ways with Oklahoma and Colorado.

Oklahoma currently leads the series 82-16-7.  The series had historically been very lopsided in the Sooners' favor; Oklahoma State has defeated OU twice in a row just three times since World War II.

Just saying...BOOMER SOONER!

Lunch and Winterfest

Today was one of the best Friday's in the history of Fridays! If you are ever in the mood for Coney's, this place is the only place you should go!

I haven't forgotten, it seems like only yesterday..

Tonight and got into my pajamas and has some supper and contemplated starting a puzzle I bought but decided I really needed to catch up on blogging and writing letters and well...sleep.  I had my last dinner party of the year Sunday night, it was incredible!  Everyone had a blast and of course there was enough food for a small Army!  My first love was driving through Oklahoma on the way to a new job in Monterey, CA and stayed over and was able to meet my friends and we caught up on the last 19 + years and it was really, really nice.  I found out today that my best friend Angie is coming to stay Christmas weekend and that really made my day because I really didn't want to intrude on my friends and their families because I don't have one of my own.  So this weekend this group I am a part of is having a football party Saturday night so I will be attending church Sunday instead of my normal Saturday night service, and next weekend is my company Christmas party, the weekend after that I am hosting a baby shower for a co-worker at my besty Alecia's house in Broken Arrow, then the next weekend is Christmas, and the weekend after is New Years and my group is having a huge party so my time is toast.  My private life has really taken on a life of it's on, and I am really enjoying it,  the attention doesn't suck, not going to lie; once I took of my blinders I suddenly saw all the possibilities life has to offer, and the view is VERY nice :~)

I admit I had given serious thought to having a baby, I took my age and marital status and other factors into consideration and decided it probably wasn't a good idea, and that I would have to give up on the idea of having a family of my own, so I will embrace my solidarity and make the best of it.  I am really content with this little home I've worked so hard to create for myself, comfortable and welcoming but nice.  My cats keep me company and I am open to dating now and people say I am more approachable and that makes me happy.

I am behind on my Netflix and need to watch the Iron Man 1 disc I have, so I can watch instantly Iron Man 2, in time for The Avengers to come out, I am such a nerd, I love it, cannot wait for Kung Fu Panda to come out on dvd, and I've been to see Breaking Dawn twice and don't put it past me to see it a third time.  Work has been insanely busy so much so that I hardly notice time passing and the next thing I know it's 5 and time to go home. 

I am going to resist the temptation to get nervous about what might happen in the future, like when is the other shoe going to drop, like I know I have no right to be this happy, without the balance of something bad, to take away from my joy.

I miss my son Christopher so much and wish that he would call or text me or Facebook me or something but he is a senior in high school and has a life of his own, but I just wish he would let me be a part of it even if it is only is some small measure, something is better than nothing on that topic.

I better stop here or this will turn into a short novel; my friend ate at Denny's today, and had moons over my hammy, and said "thanks, Sam, all I can do is think of you now"; I had to laugh my butt off!

XBOX 360 with Kinect

Further proof no one listens to me, not even my XBOX!  I tell it to play, pause or whatever and it completely ignores me!  What's next my iphone 4 won't make my calls if it doesn't like who I am calling?  I really want to master my technology, it frustrating when my machines that are designed to make my life easier only succeed in making it frustrating.  I am still trying to figure out how to delete stuff off my iPhones iPod, I miss the blinking 12:00 on my vcr, now THAT submitted to my will!!!

Best laid plans..

The road to hell is paved with good intentions they say, I concur.  As this year wraps up I am taking stock of my life and what I've done this year to become the person I strive to be, someone my parents can be proud of; someone I can be proud of.  I tried not to let my feelings get the best of me, I tried not to get angry when I felt like I was being attacked or provoked; I tried to think before I spoke and to try to imagine how others felt because of the way I behaved or the words I spoke.  I tried to remain positive despite how each situation looked at the outset.  I tried to be the friend others needed me to be, and mostly I wanted to become more flexible and let others control things, and shockingly it felt great.  I am happier than I've ever been, I am fulfilled and I am blessed.  I know a contentment I didn't think possible before, now I can let things go where before I would obsess about what I could have said or done to change the ultimate outcome, the freedom I've attained because of this epiphany is phenomenal.  I'm not perfect, I won't ever be, but I can constantly set goals to try and become a better person than I was the day before.  I like what I see in the mirror now, that's new for me.  I love how much my life has changed because I opened myself up to it's possibilities, and now I see what I've been missing.

I am happy, I am loved, I am blessed.

Pass the chocolate chip cookies...

Amazing weekend!

Food and friends and fun, this weekend was quite possibly the best weekend to date. I never thought I could be this happy!
