The Shoes

My work Christmas party oufit is coming along very nicely. Tonight, I purchased the shoes. Blogger World, meet my fancy new shoes....
Aren't they lovely? I really think they bring my outfit together. Ok, not really. The truth is, the shoes were too beautiful to pass up. I could just hear my friends from LTC:What Not Wear telling me to purchase the shoes, so I did.

Meet my Plus 1

Last year my company's Christmas party was painless. I didn't have to find a date for the party; and I didn't have to find an outfit. Heck, all I had to do was show up to work. It was very nice. However, this year my company is back to having fancy evening weekend parties; which means I need a date and an outfit. Well, I have one of those things accomplished. Blogger World, I would like to introduce you to my date....
MrT. He has been my Christmas Party Date for three years. My coworkers love him. They actually like him better than me. What can I say, I surround myself with cool people!
Thank you MrT for being my Christmas Party Date for the 3rd year. I promise, someday I'll meet someone and you will not have to go anymore.

Shameless Plug!

Lessons Learned from Expensive Cable

This weekend was pretty blah! All weekend I did the same three things; baby-sit other people's kids, work, and watch Lifetime movies/expensive cable. I know, can we say fun with a capital F!
Today marks week #2 of expensive cable. I've reached the half way mark, and I must say I've picked up a few things from the extended channels. For example....

I do not trust a skinny cook. Saturday morning I was watching Sandra Lee's cooking show. She was making appetizers for one of her fancy parties. I'm sure it was a party where she will look beautiful, serve food that only matches her outfit, and serve a cocktail that matches her couch. But as I was watching her show, I decided she probably has no idea what her stuff mushroom taste like because she hasn't tried one since 1984. If I'm going to listen to someone who cooks, they better look like they eat. This is why I love Paula Deen. She looks like she eats. She's a real woman. She uses butter for crying out loud!

A gallon of paint, screw driver, hammer, dirt, and a 2X4 is all you need to make a room awesome! Oh and a $1,000, because every project cost $1,000.

If someone breaks into my car, I feel confident that I can track down the bad guy. You see, first I would dust for finger prints. Then I would run the finger prints on Oklahoma State Police computer program. Finally, after talking with my super cute lab guy, I would track down the dude. Simple as pie!

Does Hannah Montana think we are stupid? Duh, we all know that it's really Miley dressed in a wig. Also, why is her brother so goofy? He's suppose to be older, but yet he hangs out with what appears to be a seven year old name Rico. I don't get it. But, I do like some of the clothes she wears on the show. What? They're cute.


Like I said at the start, I watched a lot of TV this weekend. Hey, I never said it was good TV.

Friday Fun Facts

335 days out of the year I have cheap cable. You see, I'm a cheap person. I try to be as tight with my money as humanly possible. Don't roll your eyes at me, I'm not joking. I'm tight! A few years ago, my aunt told me about Cox's $11 a month cable package. This cheap cable comes with the basic channels, a few Spanish channels, a lot of crappy news channels, Lifetime (which is a necessity for any girl), and my favorite- Bravo.

However, for about 30 days out of the year, I splurge for expensive cable. By expensive cable I mean the basic cable package that 90% of Americans have in their house. You might be wondering why I splurge for expensive cable for only 30 days? Well, I do this so I can watch my Chritsmas movies on ABC Family. I know this sounds very dork, but Blogger World I never claimed to be cool.

Wednesday night I was flipping around my expensive channels and landed on VH1. I like VH1, they still play some music on their channel, and they have those really cool- I Love the 80's countdowns. Well, as luck would have it, I stumbled on one of VH1's great countdowns, 100 Greatest 1 Hit Wonders of the 80s. You better believe I wasted 2 hours of my life to see who was number 1. Blogger World any guesses on the greatest 1 Hit Wonder of the 80s????? Come on guess?? Fine the greatest 1 Hit Wonder was.....Dexys Midnight Runners: “Come on Eileen”
I fully support VH1's choice. Come on Eileen is a great song! If I was a smart computer gir, I'd post the video, but I'm not so just sing the song in your head.

One of the winners....

Remember the pictures I took with The Sisters for my parent's Christmas present? Remember? Come on Blogger World, work with me! Well, here is one of the pictures we've decided to frame for my parents.

Thanksgiving with OK Chick

I realize Thanksgiving was last week, and we've all moved on to Christmas. However, I actually documented the holiday with pictures, so I'm posting the pictures. Here is my Thanksgiving with the family.

The Run

First, ok second, race out of retirement. I ran the whole thing, and MrT was there to cheer me on. Ok, not really. He was there in the crowd, but he didn't cheer me on until I ran past him. He didn't even know I was running the race, but when he saw me he cheered real loud.

Here is a picture of my dad and I after we made it home from the race. My mom got mad at my dad because he wouldn't put his number back on his shirt. My mom told him my "Blogger People" wouldn't think he ran the race. By the way, if you look in the background of this picture (corner left) you see different paint colors on the wall. My parents are having the house transformed this week. My mom has a hard time making decisions, which is why there are 5 different paint colors on the wall. Praise Jesus the kitchen wallpaper is going in the trash!
The Food
Blogger World, please notice half my plate is green vegetables. See, I eat healthy!
All Done
Blogger World, my family is a very casual family. We are not your stuffy country club family. I guess if you ever had any doubt, you could just look at my mom's fine china. Don't laugh, those miss matched plastic cups have taken years to collect. My favorite is the blue Miller Lite cup. It's the special family cup. Oh not because we like Miller Lite, but because someone stole it from the old Dallas Cowboys stadium. I think my dad stole the cup.
Dessert
This year dessert was made by Sister #1. Cute, huh? Everyone had their very own apple pie shaped as an apple. This is my apple, and I ate the whole thing. Don't judge me! If you start to judge me, see picture #1.
Preparing for Black Friday
After lunch Sister #1, my mom, and I studied the ads for Black Friday shopping. I only looked over the ads for a short time. Basically, long enough for Sister #2 to take this picture. However, Sister #1 looked over the ads for 3 hours. I think she was doing it so she didn't have to help decorate the Christmas Tree. (Insert Eye Roll Here)

Well, there you have it...Thanksgiving with OK Chick. Didn't you feel like part of the family?
