Sorry to be doing another one of these posts....but I've been SO busy lately that I have not been able to sit down and get enough posts written for each week. But never fear....I think that the one for tomorrow and Thursday are both pretty good. So suffer through this one, and know that better days are around the corner. :)
1. Okay--first things first--I have big news, people. I mean REALLY big. No, I'm not getting a billboard. But, I did win photo of the week last week for Project 64 with my hot air balloon photo! Now they are doing a vote for photo of the month. I would appreciate it EVER so much if you would go over to Project 64 and vote for me. Please and thank you. :)

2. I went to Hobby Lobby this weekend and was annoyed that they already had Christmas stuff out. So I had this great idea to write a blog about how we shouldn't be wasting our days away wishing for Christmas in September, instead of enjoying today. Well that all went by the wayside when I saw this little fella:
That's right, guys. An OSU Christmas tree ornament in my town--which is not in Oklahoma. You know I bought it. I mean, that's fate. And then as I was walking out, I realized I bought into their ploy. Sigh. Tricky, tricky, Hob Lob. So I've changed my message: Don't waste your days away wishing for Christmas, but if you see an OSU ornament, buy it. :)
3. And speaking of wishing days away, I absolutely cannot wait until this weekend for my trip to College Station. I'm getting a bucket list checkmark with my first away football game, and I get to do it with two of my favorite guys in the world---BFF and Cousin Kevin. My poor mom is a little nervous about the amount of fun these two may be together. I'm going to do my best not to let them disappoint. We're starting off the day with some breakfast tailgaiting---burritos, mimosas, bloody marys--then the game--then a night out in College Station. Can. Not. Wait.
4. Last week I convinced my bosses to go out to the State Fair and participate in the Junior Livestock sale. For those of you who may not be familiar with the show program, the exhibitors (4-H and FFA members) who have winning animals get to sell them in the premium sale, where they bring like 5 times market value. The buyers pay this in order to support the kiddos and the programs. Showing was such an important part of my life growing up, that I really enjoy the chance to give back. I'm hoping to have a side-by-side photo to show you of me last week and me exactly 10 years to the day last week soon. So stay tuned for that one.
5. Y'all know I sort of have my heart set on finding a southern (or at least a country) guy. Well I am beyond in love with song by none other than Mr. Jason Aldean. It's called "Country Boy's World." Have a little listen. You'll like it too.
6. I was flipping through the channels last night and came across some new show where the girl is a waitress and was dating some loser boyfriend who was cheating on her. Didn't watch anymore, but one line was funny. Another girl was asking her what she saw in the loser anyway. She responded, "He had those muscles" and pointed to those ones on the sides of the abs---you know like right where the hip bones connect--and she said, "I don't know what they're called, but something about those muscles makes smart girls stupid." Ha! LOVED it! I could make a list of things that "makes smart girls stupid" can apply to!
7. Last week I got a sweet message from Cousin Swiss Mister, thanking me for a card and a little gift I sent to him. In his note, he said, "Thank you for being you." And you know, I think that's probably the best compliment that you can give a person. Because it is dependant on nothing---not on me having to do something or be something or try to act a certain way. Like just being myself is enough. And that's something that I needed to hear. He's a good one, that Cousin Swiss Mister.
8. I'll admit it. I am the most un-trendy person you know. It took me YEARS to get facebook. And even longer to embrace the Jackie-O glasses. So can someone please help a girl out and explain what the heck this "Bunco" craze is that I keep reading about?

Love Cousin Swiss Mister's compliment. It is the ultimate.

I watched that silly show too..it was a little crass in parts for my taste...but had funny parts.
I don't really know what Bunco is other than a dice game. I read a book this summer called the "Bunco Babes Tell All" and it made it sound super fun. So I bought the game at KMart and have yet to find 12 ladies to play with lol.
The Cousin Swiss Mister sounds like quiet the guy.
