Sunburns and the Indiana Jones theme

Guess what? I traveled all weekend. Can you believe it?
Thursday I went to Lake Tenkiller near Tahlequah with members of my famDAMNily for a weekend of relaxation and lake time. 

This was Thursday's, July 25, 2013, outfit. Who doesn't love some Willie Nelson? 
The shirt says, "Have a WILLIE nice day."

Dru playing Galaga. This got a little intense.

What to do on a rainy day at the lake house? Watch movies and play the iPad. I never caught Dru in the act of play Candy Crush but she was stuck on the same level all weekend.

This is my weekend uniform. Mom told me to pack some nicer clothes for the coming weekend:(

Lake Day with Manfriend:) Even though he couldn't hum the theme from Indiana Jones during a game of Cranium, my heart still goes pitter patter for this guy.

My mom told me to clean out my closet at her house Sunday evening. This is what happened. Please note the gnarly sunburn on my legs... it is on my shoulders as well.

I have a doctor's appointment in Tulsa and I refuse to be uncomfortable on the ride up. 
For the past week, I have woke up hoping it was fall and I have been dreaming of Oklahoma State Football. Maybe that is why there has been so much orange in my wardrobe lately...

"Give Me Orange Pants, Or Give Me Death."



 Well, I have been very busy the past week and weekend. On Tuesday I left to go to OKC for a conference. It always seems that a 3 hour drive can turn into 8 hours when I travel. In between shopping, mani/pedi detour, and hunting for dinner and a phone charger, It was 7:30pm by the time I was locked away in my hotel room to enjoy the Presidential debate and to finish prepping for my presentation.

<--------
The conference was a complete success!
After a quick shopping stop, I ventured to my brother's house to see him, my nephew, GuyJack and my sister-in-law. Big Truck Tacos and dancing in the kitchen to "Born to Run" never gets old.
I left my family so they could get GJ ready for bed. GJ told me he didn't want me to leave and I could, "sleep in his big boy bed" with him. Broke my heart:( I reassured him I would see him soon at Buck's House. GJ calls my mother by her nickname, Buck.
After hugs and kisses, I left OKC to head to Stillwater to see my manfriend. This past weekend was homecoming at Oklahoma State and (fingers crossed) the last homecoming Chance will attend as a student. That second bacholor's is becoming a bit of a bitch.
Thursday I slept in and waited for Chance to get home so we could begin our outing in Stillwater. My bank account cries when I go to Stillwater. I, of course, had to find the perfect game day outfit:) 

It was perfect Walk Around weather!

Friday was more shopping and Walk Around:)
We caught a Dustin Lynch concert and danced in the middle of the streets.
Saturday was GAME DAY!

GO POKES!

 

I met up with one of my Delta Zeta sisters, Taler, at halftime.

<----------

After the game, naps were taken and we refreshed our minds and bodies to make our way to Fuzzy's on The Strip. We luckily got a booth and settled in for a night of tacos, drinking and drunks.

 Sunday is when I had to come back to reality. I hate leaving Chance and the long drive back to southeast Oklahoma is never a fun trip.


My aunt is putting this on one of her dog's heads.
I would hate her too.

When I returned to Red Oak I met my family at church. Little did I know there was a Youth Focus still going on. I basically showed up for the free food and shameful looks. I visited with my family for a little while before making my way to Wilburton and unpacked and crawled into bed.
It was a top weekend.

Also, shout out to @mroctober85 on his birthday. Doubt he reads this but let's show him some love as he turns 27-years-old!

 

Black Pants, Manfriend, Paint, and Vitamins.

You know what I love? Short work weeks. They are simple a gift from the Man up stairs. Thanks, Home Slice.


Wednesday, August 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Today is a black pants kind of day. Basically, these were the first things I saw when I was already 15 minutes late. I threw on the white under shirt and a hot pink v-neck tee and the first thing that went through my mind was, "I look like a waitress." Over the head that went and I grabbed this little gem, threw on the wedges and watch, and I was out the door. This will hopefully change when I move.

Actually, let's be honest. It won't.

Last night I began painting my apartment. I am not a painter. I might have had more paint on my clothes and in my hair than on the walls. If it weren't for my mother (I am beginning the paperwork for sainthood) and a young fella by the name of Larry (Larry is a freshman at the college I work at as well as from my hometown) I would have given up. Thanks:)

Also, I should give a nod to my manfriend, Chance. Yes, she has a boyfriend. Yes, she loves him dearly. And yes, he helped her pick out paint colors without rolling his eyes or getting snippy. He is a good manfriend. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One last thing, don't leave your

gummie vitamins in the car on a hot day.

They will become goo and slime:(

 

Labor Day Weekend and My Gay Ex-Boyfriend

Well dahlings, a new week is upon us and I am still physical and mentally recovering from my loooooong weekend.

I had every good intention of posting my blog on Thursday, but in true cluster fuck fashion, that didn’t happen. Meetings, students, registrations, obligations, e-mails, and phone calls consumed my short day in the office. So today, much like the rest of the world on the Tuesday after Labor Day, I am playing catch up at work and on my blog. Here is just a snippet of the weekend.

Thursday, August 30

 

 

 

Ryan

I had to sport my NSU green as I was going to be traveling to Tahlequah for the first home football game. My former boss and I met up to enjoy tailgating and catching up on our lives. She is possibly one of the greatest women I have ever met and she was willing to claim me as her daughter to sneak me into the alumni room. (I was then told to get out my check book and join the alumni association by the Alumni Director but that was all in good fun.It was worth it for the air conditioning.) During half-time, I met up with my dear friend and ex-boyfriend, Ryan. Now, some might think our relationship is odd to be so close for having been in a "serious" relationship for close to two years; however, there were certain things I could not offer him... like a penis. Love him dearly and I think of him as one of my true and dear friends.

No pictures were taken because of extreme cases of confusing the Apple Genius and travel (safty first). I can tell you my outfit consisted of an over-sized T-shirt, norts and flops with a narly messy dirty bun. It is probably a good thing pictures were not taken. I got my haircut and then met up with manfriend and enjoyed dinner with some fabulous people.

MUTHA EFFIN' GAMEDAY!!!

 

Tyler, Carly, Chance(manfriend), Justin
This really happened.

 

 Holy Mother of Stillwater. Catching up with old friends, drinking, eating, sweating, and cheering on the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
In the land "where the wind comes sweeping down the plains," there was little to no wind during the day. That means it was hot.
 

 This was my koozie for the day----------->
Notice the boby pins on the bottom. I am always prepared.






Below is our view of the game.

Sunday, August 2

Waking up from a hard day of tailgating is rough. Lunch with friends and then a trip to Oklahoma City to do a little shopping and seeing my brother and his family was my Sunday afternoon. The manfriend is always up for an adventure.

Monday, August 3

Total cluster. Between my car and buying paint, I was an emotional mess. Plus, leaving the manfriend is always torture. Made it home just to crawl into bed. Slept like a baby and I mean, waking up every two hours. Horrible.

Tuesday, August 4-------------------------------------------------->
Busy. Wearing Lilly.
Happy Note! My Lilly Pulitzer shipment should be waiting for me at home and volleyball is about to start back up. That means a lot of trash talk and sand in unwanted places.



Moving update. Paint colors were picked out by the manfriend and myself. Painting should start tomorrow and moving on Friday evening or Saturday morning. The sooner, the better.
