Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like, 'You know, sometimes
I just forget to eat.' Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my
keys. But I've never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.
I couldn't agree more!

Friday Links
Again this week I’ve been a horrible blogger. I’m sorry! You know, this week has just flown by, time has just escaped me. Ok that’s not true; this week has been the longest week of my life. I have no real excuse for the lack of post. But hopefully, I can make it up to you today. Even though I haven’t been blogging, I have been reading lots to prepare for this post. I feel that I have accumulated a wide assortment of links for your reading enjoyment. I can at least entertain you on this lovely Friday. Also, I’m going for a new blog look; an educated look if you will. I’m sure my ranting and raving about singlehood, food, more food, and running isn’t really stimulating on anyone’s brain. This is my chance to educate my readers, or just give you funny links to read. SOOO here are my educated, but yet funny links for you.
This article is for all the Starbucks junkies, including myself, out there. When we see this being sold at our local US Starbucks, I’m done with coffee. Yes, I realize Non-Fat Chai is not coffee but I give the illusion I’m drinking coffee. If you saw me on the street you would assume I’m drinking coffee, right? So back off, let me have my dream that I drink coffee!
I kind of want to bid on this for the pure fact that I think it’s stinking hilarious. I love Red Sox fans. I believe Red Sox fans are the perfect model for a true fan!
I think a similar situation took place at OSU last year, maybe two years ago. Instead of a baseball jersey someone spelled OU in bricks. HA! Oh come on, that’s funny! I tried to find an old article about OU being spelled in the OSU stadium, but I couldn’t find one. I swear I didn’t dream this up.
When I read this article it hacked me off. I’ve been preaching this for years, and now someone has went and stole my idea. My idea is such a good idea that there’s a whole industry dedicated to it. WHATEVER! If someone steals my Single Trips idea, it’s over. I’m taking them to court. I can take them on…I watch Shark, Eli Stone, and Boston Legal. I know law, just like I know Crime Investigating because of CSI.
Have you ever thought to yourself….I wonder how I can become an ass? If that thought has EVER crossed your mind you might need to look into purchasing this book. I sent this article to a few friends from school last night. They are always saying that girls dig complete asses. I disagreed with them. However, they didn’t believe me and argued with me. I mean, what do I know? I’m only a single woman. It’s not like I’d know anything about this subject. Stupid boys!
This disappoints me, only for the fact that I didn’t know about it sooner. Where was the cousin on this bit of information? I can’t believe I had to read about this on the internet. This is information that she should know. It’s her job to keep me up-to-date on all the Hollywood gossip. I’m about 99.9% sure she has not heard this exciting rumor. She’s a huge fan of this show, and I’m 100% certain if she knew she would have called me at work.
I couldn’t agree more with this recent study.
Well that’s all the links I have for you today. Hopefully, you were entertained and yet challenged mentally. If you learned two things, super. If you learned three, well my job is done.
Now if you would excuse me, I must dash off to be a hand model. No really, today I get to be a hand model. Seriously, could my life BE more exciting? I think not.

I ain’t got a motorboat but I can float your boat
This is another exciting installment of Weekend Updates. I bet you thought this post was going to be about motorboats. HA, I tricked you. Really, that is a line from one of my running songs. Right, so on to the Weekend Updates….
Friday
I’m a big fan of having people over to my house. I’m also a big fan of cooking dinner for my friends. I truly believe I’m a superior friend. I mean, what person does not like having dinner cooked for them? No one I tell you. Friday night I had two friends over for pizza and salad. The pizza was semi-homemade. I assembled the pizza myself, cut the veggies myself, and put it in the oven myself. Again, it was semi-homemade; I did not make the dough. Why spend time making homemade pizza dough when you can go to the grocery store and buy it made? I guess at the same time you could ask me….why do you make semi-homemade pizza when you can call Papa Johns? Fair question, but my pizza was far better than anything Mr. Johns could whip up!
Saturday
I was up early for a 5K race. I’m proud to report I ran one of my fastest 5Ks at this race. I ran it in 29 minutes. I am pretty sure my exact time was 29:45 or 29:55 but I like to focus on the 29 part. I finally ran a race in under 30 minutes. I was so excited! The rest of Saturday could have been total crap and I’d still had a super day. But the rest of the day wasn’t crap. After doing some random shopping around town, Sister #1 and I headed home to see Sister #2 off to her prom. Yup, little Sister #2 went to prom. AHHHHH….
Sister #2 looked beautiful. She’d gone to get her hair, nails, make-up done and it all looked great.
Sunday
I was up early again for more running. I’d planned to run six miles, but instead I ran 8 miles. I was so excited that I ran eight miles that I rewarded myself with a big Starbucks!
After I devoured my Starbucks it was off to church. Of course, I couldn’t really sit still after drinking a massive Starbucks. I changed sitting positions a good 30 times. I’m sorry; caffeine has that affect on me.
Later in the afternoon I went to get a fabulous haircut. As a woman, I sometimes get restless/pissed off with my hair. This usually happens after a week of horrible hair days. I have found that the best solution for this problem is to make an appointment at the nearest hair salon for a hair chop. These are usually my best haircuts because I walk into the salon not caring what happens to my hair just as long as they make it fixable. This hair appointment was one of those hair appointments. But an hour later my bad hair days were over. The fabulous haircut turned out fabulous. Sister #1 thought my hair looked the same. I know for a fact it did not look the same. But to be fair, Sister #1 doesn’t know what she’s talking about half the time. Hey...it's the truth.

First EVER Links
Yesterday my aunt got after me, via email, for the lack of post on this blog. Sorry, for those who feel the same way. I haven’t had anything to write about the past couple days. I speculate I’m going through a dry spell. It happens to all great writers, or people that live boring lives. You know, same thing.
But today, the writer muses are smiling down on me. I feel the inspiration! Actually, I’ve finished all my work for the day and I’m bored. Yea, it’s only 8:42 so it’s either post something or stare into space for two hours.
My writing hero, Sports Guy on ESPN, does a weekly article called Links. He finds random websites/articles and post them for his readers to check out. His readers, like mine, do not work at their jobs. Oh come on, your checking my blog during your work hours, you are not that hard of a worker. It’s ok; don’t get upset, I’m kidding! Anyway, here are my links. Enjoy….
So I just discovered an earth shattering thing. I have to run 53 minutes to burn off the breakfast burrito I just ate. Seriously! My coworker and I spent twenty minutes looking up random foods on this website. Did you know that Krispy Kreme doughnut has less fat than a Sonic Breakfast Burrito?
It’s good to see that this guy is still getting press. It would be a shame if he became a has-been.
For all you single and visiting lots of random coffee shops. Maybe these tips will help. I especially like #5. Although, I’m usually the person saying…could you turn that down I’m trying to study for Finance and your AKON is disturbing me.
My favorite line from this article…. He won't serve as a "literary callboy," he says. Really, why not? I think “literary callboy” would look super on a resume.
Well that’s all the links I have for you today. Hey, I can’t entertain you all day!

And I'm too sexy for your party
Can I just say that I’m having the greatest morning ever! It’s been a good morning. Sure, I’ve only been coherent for about 2 1/2 hours, but it’s been a good two and half hours. Here’s the break down:
**I woke up before my alarm went off. Bonus to this point…. I woke up feeling good. I didn’t wake up feeling like someone hit me over the head with a baseball bat.
**Since I wasn’t rushing around like a mad woman I was able to make myself mini blueberry muffins and fresh squeezed orange juice. Ok by fresh squeezed, I mean I opened a frozen can of orange juice and squeezed it into a pitcher. Hey, I didn’t have all morning…I still had to get to work.
**This morning getting dressed was a snap. I would say most mornings I can get dress without problems, but occasional you have your “I feel fat and nothing fit days”. This week my company is doing jeans week. I’ve decided wearing jeans to work is fabulous.
**My hair looks dang good. I’m having a good hair day. I love good hair days. I woke up to a rainy morning, so technical my hair should be doing this half straight half curl thing. But today, it decided to cooperate and go straight.
**I left my house a few minutes early. YEA FOR ME! I left so early that I had time to stop by my Starbucks and get a nonfat Chai, without being ten minutes late to work.
Bonus to this point….my giftcard that I thought was $10 is really $20.
**When I finally made it to work I had lots of work waiting on me. Trust me, this is a good thing.
**This is the kicker for the morning. The copier that I fight with every day jammed. I usually get pissed and say curse words, thinking that will fix the copier. However, since I’m in such a great mood…I kicked the crap out of the machine and it start spitting out my papers. It was much needed therapy.
As you can see, it has been a great morning. I just emailed Holly telling her if ANYONE gets me out of this great mood I will punch them in the face. I’m serious. I already beat the crap out of the copier; I’m not scared to take on a living human. Bring it on! Now if you would excuse me, I’m going to steal a bacon, egg, & cheese biscuit from a meeting going on downstairs. YES, I know I already had muffins, but I don’t care- I’m hungry!
The title of the post is taken from the song "I'm too Sexy". It's playing on the radio right now. I believe it's going to be my theme song today.

Update
Huge things are happening in OK Chick’s life. HUGE. Ok, not really. But I thought if I got you intrigued, you’d continue reading. Is it working?
This week has been a boring week. There’s been a few exciting things, but the week as a whole has been boring. I think it’s because of all the rain we received. I find that rain makes people tired and boring. Still, I feel it’s my duty, as a good blogger, to post something for my two faithful readers. So here’s a run down of the exciting things from the week.
Fried Chicken…
I finally experienced the infamous Eischens!
It’s a 10K. I think I can run 6 miles, but you never know with me. Some days I can run lots of miles and some days I can barely run around the block. Let’s hope Sunday I’m ready to run!
But on the plus side, my dad has decided to take up biking. He has never biked. He’s biking his first race on Saturday, its 33 miles. Then my dad thinks he’s going to run 6 miles on Sunday. Now my dad is an awesome man, but he’s not that awesome. Let’s say he can walk after he bikes on Saturday; he’ll try to run on Sunday. If this unfolds like I think it will, he bikes and runs back-to-back days; the odds that I’ll kick his butt on Sunday are HUGE! I’ve never beat my dad in a race. Sad I know!
Well I think this is all I have for you today.

So here’s a run down of the exciting things from the week.
Fried Chicken…
I finally experienced the infamous Eischens!
I’ve been told it’s the oldest bar in Oklahoma. Their menu is small- Fried Chicken, Fried Okra, Nachos, Beer, Coke, and Water. We ordered everything on the menu. I have to say…it was pretty good and the place itself is cool.
Tornadoes….
It’s tornado season. Sunday morning. No scratch that…. it was Monday at 1:30am when the sound of tornado sirens woke me from my sleep. I knew Sister #1 wouldn’t want to miss all the fun so I woke up her to watch TV with me. We turned on the TV to find my boy Gary England informing the Greater OK area that a tornado had touched down in my town. Of course, they weren’t 100% certain it had touched the ground because the power was out and it was dark outside. I’m sure if I hadn’t been so tired I might have been more scared, but it was 1:30 in the morning. After about 30 minutes of Gary England, Sister #1 and I decided we were in the clear.
Date…
I have a date with this man August 13th.
SO excited! I bought two tickets Sunday evening. Who’s the lucky person to sit beside me? Sister #1. The concert will be 2 days before I graduate with my MBA.
Little Shuffle…
Tuesday I ran with Little Shuffle. It was ok. I miss Big Shuffle. I miss the music I had on Big Shuffle. I’m running tonight so maybe things will be different.
Race…
Sunday I’m running one of my favorite races.
It’s a 10K. I think I can run 6 miles, but you never know with me. Some days I can run lots of miles and some days I can barely run around the block. Let’s hope Sunday I’m ready to run!But on the plus side, my dad has decided to take up biking. He has never biked. He’s biking his first race on Saturday, its 33 miles.

Well I think this is all I have for you today.

Please meet...
Little Shuffle. Isn’t it cute? Mine is purple. It’s not because I’m a purple fan, but it's all Wally World had in stock. But purple’s cool… I like purple.Little Shuffle replaced Big Shuffle Sunday afternoon. I hadn’t planned on replacing Big Shuffle, because Big Shuffle and I had a great relationship. He played constant great music and I ran. It worked for us. However, that was before Big Shuffle decided he was done playing constant great music. At the moment, Big Shuffle is MIA… which sucks when you are trying to train for a ½ marathon!
Sunday, I tore my house upside down looking for the stupid iPod and turned up with nothing. Seriously, how do you lose an iPod? I was so frustrated that I couldn’t find it; I just went out and bought a whole new one. I was in and out of Wally World in less than 10 minutes. I meant business on Sunday! I needed to run and I needed my music. I had the new iPod charged and loaded with 10 new songs in less than 30 minutes.
Last night, when I should have been paying attention to Accounting, I downloaded more songs for Little Shuffle. I think I have quite the mix for running. I guess we’ll see tonight. I have a date with the pavement. I’ll let you know how everything goes.
