Friday's letters

Thanks to the lovely Ashley, this is weekly favorite!!

Dear 106 degrees but really 116 with the heat index....I love summer, I really do, I don't mind 100 degree temps, I would prefer the 90s. However, I do not like sweating my make-up off when I walk outside or the frizzy hair. Hence why I have worn my hair in a messy bun every single day this week. Every day. It's also why I decided that ice cream was perfectly ok yesterday. Because it's hot. Ice cream is cold.  Dear Bravo...You really must stop making such good shows...I now am officially addicted to "Miss Advised" it's nice knowing I'm not the only screw up when it comes to dating. Thank you for that. My DVR however, probably doesn't like the fact that it constantly records shows on Bravo. Dear Bella...I'm so glad your hair is finally growing back, I can almost take you out in public without people thinking you are a possum. I love you so much even if you do look like one without hair on your tail. As promised, I will post no pictures of your hair until it is all grown back. I got your back.  Dear Magic Mike, aka Channing Tatum...There are not enough words to say how excited I am to see you this weekend.  Dear Lake...I also plan on seeing you this weekend. I need a tan, not a sunburn...but a tan. Dear Mom...Happy early birthday, I promise one of these days I will get your actual age right...instead of aging you by one year. Apparently I'm not good at math or remembering. I love you so much. Dear baby brother...I hope you find a good team roping partner...I am trying my best to find you one. Qualifications are: Tall, cute, around my age, single of course(gotta look out for myself here you know)...oh and they have to be a good roper so you can win. 

Have a great weekend loves!

Weekend Update

Why does Monday come so soon?

and why does Monday have to come with 105 degree weather??

(Remind me of this 105 degree temps when there is a blizzard and I'm complaining because I don't like cold weather)

Doing a little weekend blog hopping today and linking up with Sami, Dana, and Leeann...

So, since it's summer time in Oklahoma...that means my Friday nights are spent watching a certain cowboy try and win some $$$$ at the Rodeo's...some day he's gonna be famous and make it to the NFR...where he will then take his sister.

I said to little brother the other day, "If you were a famous country singer like I don't know, Scotty McGreery, and you went to an awards show(Scotty took his sister)...who would you take as your date?"

Baby brother: "Megan Fox"

Me:"You can't take her she's married and way to old for you and not to mention pregnant. Besides your supposed to say you would take me, Scotty McGreery took his sister to an awards show."

Baby brother: "Good thing I'm not a country singer then."

See what I put up with.

Baby Brother

Mom and baby brother

Although he looked cute...he didn't win any money. 

He did however win some money at a different rodeo this weekend, but it's a HOT SOB out there...and since he hypothetically said he would take Megan Fox as his date to an award show...this sister didn't go watch him.

I showed him.

If I'm going to do this weekend wrap up, I really need to start taking more pictures of my weekend.

Saturday I got up early and cleaned my house(exciting I know) and then went and did a little shopping, picked up some make-up at sephora. I swear, I run out of every thing at the exact same time...nothing like dropping a hunk of change on make-up products.

I'm kinda of a brand snob, but thanks to my gal Lindsey over at The Bargain Blonde...she has  turned me on over to E.L.F...and I love that stuff. I normally use MAC foundation and powder but have recently changed my powder to the HD definition powder that E.L.F. has...and it's awesome, and at six bucks or so...you can't beat that.

I also picked up some lip glosses for a dollar.

A freaking dollar.

So, with all that money saved I treated myself to a Cherry Limeade at Sonic.

I know...big spender I am.

I then made some Oreo Truffles for Bestie's bridal shower...need to take more pictures of this stuff.

Oh I almost forgot....I got a phone call one night at like 10 o'clock. I'm already in bed...because I'm cool like that...and it's a number I don't recognize so I don't answer it.

They don't leave a message.

They call back an hour later...this time they leave a message.

In a drunken guys voice he says,

"Nichole, why does your voice mail say Lyndse...that is not your name. Call me back!"

I laughed it off...then remembered that back in the day, when my friend and I would go out, we would give alias names and occupations. My alias name was Nichole, a pediatrician. She was Chloe, a helicopter pilot. 

*Note to self...do a post about said nights out when we gave out fake alias*

So, this guy really could have been calling me, thinking my name was Nichole...or he really could have just been a drunken guy calling the wrong number.

Still, it made me laugh and reminded me that next time I give out my alias...to also give an alias number.

That is all folks!

Friday's Letters

Dear Friday... I heart thee very much, I would heart thee much more if I was off work today. Dear weather man...Did I hear you correctly this morning, that it's going to be 120 degree's next week...or at least close to it?? Good grief, I am not ready. Hello Oklahoma summer!!Dear baby brother...If you dye my precious little Bella pink...I may have to hurt you. Yes, I like the color pink, but I like my white fluffy dog(when she has hair) to stay white. Please and thank you. While we are on the subject of baby brother...kick some major ass tonight at the rodeo. Dear Thunder...we will get them next year...hopefully "King" James and the ref's won't be as buddy buddy...and they will recognize a foul when they see one. Ahem. Dear College football...more importantly Oklahoma State....I'm ready for you. That. is. all! Dear fruity pebbles...stop being so delicious...it's hard for me to resist you when I run out of stuff to make my green monster smoothies...which are soooo much better for me.

Dear sweet followers...have a wonderful weekend.

xoxo

Weekend Update

Hello loves...I'm linking up with my girl Sami today over at Sami's Shenanigans to talk about the weekend.

I didn't do much this weekend...just took it easy, which was a nice refresher considering I have been on the go since I got back from vacation.

I caught up on my DVR...watched Mob Wives Chicago. Which must say I do like, but I don't know if it will be as good as the original Mob Wives.

I am so freaking excited for Big Ang to get her own show...can't wait for that to come on.

The rest of the weekend I spent watching the little brother Team Rope.

*Team roping is a sport in which there is a header and a heeler and you rope a steer, the faster time wins. Team Ropings can be super long, because you can rope with a lot of people and switch up between heading and heeling*

Baby brother is on a college rodeo scholarship for this...so he's pretty dang good.

To me...it's not summer time yet, unless I am sitting outside burning and sweating my ass off while watching my brother rope.

Oh and not to mention I get caked in dirt because it's not normal for you to sit far away from the arena...but to sit right up close where the action is...as in where all the dirt flies on you.

Shall we talk about how last night in the Thunder vs. Heat game that the refs were actually playing too?? I mean, come on. 

Dear Thunder... if you can hear me...THUNDER the eff UP!!

please and thank you.

XOXO loves

Friday's Letters

It's Friday...which means it's time to link up to one of my favorites Friday'sLetters



Dear green monster smoothies...even though you look completely disgusting, you sure are yummy...and good for me. Well, except for this morning when I accidently spilled the green drink all in my car. I'm not happy. My car isn't happy...and Eskimo Joe cups are not good smoothie cups.

Dear roots that are started to show your true color....you are are SO getting highlighted this weekend and I couldn't be more happier. I am thinking about this color on Nancy O'dell...

and this hairstyle...mainly I like the bangs and of course the volume...some people may think that's too much of a poof...but oh, not for me.

Dear Tamara on the Real Housewives of OC...In previous seasons, Tamara, you were not my favorite...however, now that you have gotten rid of that crazy ex and starting dating Eddie...I like you a little better.


Dear Eddie...I think all future husbands are now required to propose in Bora Bora. Period. End.Of.Sentence.




Dear future husband....see statement above about Bora Bora.





Dear Baby Brother...I love you, but what did you mean when you said, "Since when did you start wearing skinny jeans?" 


Dear OKC Thunder...I'm gonna need you to Thunder up a little more next time. 


Dear weekend...I sure have missed you.


Dear sweet followers...I love ya, and hope y'all have a great weekend. 

Randoms

A couple of random things for your morning....

Based on my ability to win at Wii golf and after kicking some major a$$ at miniature golf yesterday against the baby brother and mom...I am fairly certain I would become a pro-golfer in no time.

Mind you, I've never actually played real golf...but I'm sure I would rock at that.

If anything, I can totally drive the golf cart.

How cute is baby brother...even with his mustache. 

It's mustache May or something like that...I personally don't understand it. In my opinion there is only one man in this world that looks good with a stache...Tom Selleck.

Costa Rica is calling my name....one week and one day to be exact.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the least bit excited about this and that I have already laid out the majority of my clothes and styled outfits.

While watching Mob Wives last night, I saw that there is going to be a Mob Wives Chicago...I am so excited about this.

Speaking of wives...WTF is wrong with Teresa Guidice. I used to like her, but girl has gone bat shit crazy.

Who's excited to watch Emily tonight as the new Bachelorette?? Love her and I have a feeling this will be an interesting season.

That's enough randomness for the day.

Birthday shout out

Today is my baby brothers 19th birthday!!

I can not believe he is 19...I am so proud of the man he is becoming. Such a handsome, caring, and fun young man.

So, Happy Birthday little brother!!

Love you lots and lots and lots!

XOXO

Thursday thoughts

A few things....

Thought I would share a picture of my baby brother...doing what he does best...Team Roping. My little brother has always had a rope in his hand, I swear, when he was a baby and as soon as her learned to walk he was chasing me around with a rope, trying to rope my legs.

Stray cats didn't stay long at our house...because my brother would rope them, don't worry he didn't hurt them...basically anything that had legs...got roped.

Clearly all that roping must have paid off because he is now on a full rodeo scholarship in college an this picture was taken last weekend at a college rodeo....

 

I'm banking on this kid to take me to the NFR (National Finals Rodeo that is held in Las Vegas)...you know where all the cowboys are.

The other night I was making cinnamon rolls, and sometimes I get a little messy with the flour...well, little did I know that a certain little basset was underneath the table...proof that she was somewhere she was not supposed to be...

Look how skinny she looks, she has been working on her swimsuit figure.

In other news, I just purchased my ticket to the HUNGER GAMES...I have never been more excited about a movie in my entire life...if I didn't go to bed at 9:30, I would so be at the midnight movie...but alas, I am old and need my beauty sleep...so I am going to a matinee instead. 

SO.FREAKING.EXCITED.

Just a few Hunger Games humor...

 

 

 

 

and my favorite...because I am Team Peeta

 

Happy Thursday...and as always...

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Looking back on 2011

As we get closer and closer to the New Year...I figured I would do a little re-cap of all things 2011. Is it just me or did 2011 go by incredibly fast? Like lightening speed fast.

So, without further adieu...I give you 2011...Blonde Oklahoma girl style.

Ringing in 2011 with some of my favorite people in Ft. Worth, Texas. Billy Bob's...I love Ft. Worth,  I love Billy Bobs, and I love cowboys.

The day we flew back, Sara G...in the top picture found out she was pregnant with little Miss Mia.

Oh and before we end with January...we had a little thing I like to call a FREAKING BLIZZARD....where I was stuck inside for days, how many I don't remember. If I learned anything at all, it's to stock up on the wine.





February, Miss Football flew in for little linebackers first birthday and we all got to spend some best friend time together, with dinner, wine and a hockey game.

A wedding...at a hockey game?? Yes, it happened.The mascot was his best man and the cheerleaders were her bridal party.

March...I spent some good quality time with my favorite people, Nana and Papa and celebrated Papa's birthday.

April...baby brother turned the big 18

and we celebrated by taking him to his first Calf Fry in Stillwater.



May...baby brother graduated high school...so proud of him.







June was pretty low key...actually very hot...so my days were spent at the lake or pool.

July brought my momma's birthday and a camping trip for the girls over the Fourth of July....no pictures...but it was a blast!!

I also squeezed in a little NKOTBSB concert....my thirteen year old self was very happy that day.




At the end of July, the BFF's and I took a girls weekend trip to San Francisco...where we went wine tasting in Napa and ran in a little thing called the San Francisco Marathon. Three of us participated in the progressive 5K...but Miss Football ran her first Half-Marathon and we were all their to cheer her on.


I sang a little Karaoke



Our half-marathoner



Here's to my first half happening in 2012!!

August...I celebrated turning the big 27 in Kansas City with my mom, bestie and bestie's mom.

Little miss Mia was born in September...remember the friend who found out she was preggers on New Year's day...



Sporting her favorite school.

October..world's greatest homecoming celebration in my favorite town, at my favorite school, with some of my favorite people...





Oktoberfest party....





and just to add it in...not sure what month it was...but we had an EARTHQUAKE...several actually. Weirdest thing I have ever experienced.

November...Thanksgiving spent with the ones I love the most...my mom, nana and papa and baby brother. Fun times playing dominos. I seriously need to take more pictures....New Year's resolution...take more pictures.

December....Oklahoma State University beat the other school in Bedlam to become BIG XII CHAMPS FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!!

The best friends who were at the game...sadly I was not...but that's ok because I was waving my wheat from the comfort of my home, where it wasn't freezing cold.



Christmas....spent with my family...once again I have no pictures...and NYE 2012 will be spent on the mountains snow skiing!!

Looking forward to all the amazing, wonderful things to come in 2012!!
