It's springtime in Oklahoma....can you tell? This weather may drive me nuts, and throw the meteorologists in there too! I was planning on having a garage sale tomorrow but after seeing chances of rain go from 20% to 40% to 70% to 50% I decided to cancel. Oh well...there is always another weekend.
Tonight my husband owes me a night out well...at least dinner. He is in trouble. This week he has eaten Rib Crib and Mexican during his lunch hour, without me. As most of you have figured out by now, I haven't been working. I have resigned from job through SJMC and RML. Unfortunately it just wasnt working out in many areas. So, with that said, onward we move!
Tomorrow Matt is attending a friend's bachelor party in Bricktown. And I will be on hand to celebrate Uncle Bob Ray's 78(?) birthday dinner at Cattleman's. YUM! I have lost 1 pound this week and been working hard on making healthy, homemade dinners and worked out a couple of times and a CHICKEN FRIED STEAK from there sounds so good. Maybe I'll just have celery and some toothpicks. Oh well, que sera sera!! Annie will be travelling with us and getting a free trip to the grandparents....my Dad is great at getting her all wound up so that should be fun.
Other than that, who kows what the weekend will hold, I just pray we stay safe travelling and that those boys dont get too crazy!!
Cheers!

THE GIRLS
Everyone is doing well otherwise. These dogs are too funny. Their personalities really have come through the past day! Both love the doggie cut-out in our fence and love seeing people walk by and bark at them. The window is just the right size and Matt and I agree that if/when/inthefuture we move, we'll definitely have another doggie cut-out for sure!
Thats about all the fun, news I have for now.
Cheers!

LATER AND LOVE
Later...
1. 2 hours later on Saturday morning, after sitting in the worst traffic ever, we aborted our mission of going to the airshow. Such a dissapointment. Hopefully they have learned a lesson. So instead we ran a few errands & headed to the Herb Festival in Jenks, didnt stay long but had a good chicken burrito.
2. $100 later, Annie has meds and should be free from her snotty eye, itching eyes & nose and sneezing. Who know a trip to the doctor could cost more for a pup than an adult human. Oh well. Expensive vet, but they take good care of Miss A. And I must say, I have never seena dog so excited to go to the vet's office.
3. Later this week, on Saturday morning, I am having a garage sale. Lots of quality items, nothing junky. Just all the good pre-Matt stuff.
4. Later, later , later......ugh! It's so hard to get ahead. Maybe that will happen this summer. Who knows.
Some other random thoughts: (to end on a positive note:)
1. I love lipgloss
2. I really love the Rockstar group on celebrity apprentice (Why did Donald Trump's wife look so ticked off?)
3. I love a good sharpie marker
4. I love cooking (made a homemade veggie lasagna Friday and it was awesome)
5. I love getting dressed cute for my husband
6. I love our sweet Annie Dill....wouldnt couldnt trade her for the world!
7. I love my awesome hubby!
8. I love my parents
Hope ya'll had a great weekend. I wish it wasnt over (like always) but am looking forward to the next!

WOW....HAS IT REALLY BEEN A WEEK?
So, have a little updating to do since it's been almost a whole week since the last time I blogged.
Let's see....last weekend my folks (the Towes) came in town Saturday to take Matt & I to dinner for his birthday (since his birthday weekend was booked full). We had an awesome dinner @ Lucky's on 15th street, right across from Full Moon. It's definitely a treat! A little secret most dont know about or see and continue to drive by. But people, should you stop? Absolutely! LOVED it there & will be going back for sure!
Got my hur (hair) done on Saturday too. Love the girl that does it, she reminds me of one of my best college friends. Matt worked on his car a little bit.
This week has been crazy. I myself have been working different hours & have been trying to make the best of some uncomfortable situations....so we'll see where I'm at come Friday afternoon. I have an idea, but will wait to dish the gossip until it's all officially said AND done:)
Matt has had leadership training at work this week. Today and tomorrow. He really enjoyed the first part of it this morning & thought it was actually worth it. Oh and, apparently, his place of business is bringing in Qdoba every Friday (not sure if its free or you have to pay, but still). So I think I may be having lunch with him every Friday again, just like when we were in Singapore.
This week is National Lab Week.....some fun facts about lab work (please respect your laboratory professionals):
Did you know?
• Laboratory results drive 60% to 70% of the physician’s decision making for a patient.
• Regional Medical Laboratory processes over 12,000 specimens a day.
• The fleet of Regional Medical Laboratory courier cars travel 400,000 miles a month.
• A team of 19 Pathologists representing Pathology Laboratory Associates work with Regional Medical Laboratory.
• 12,200 new laboratory professionals will be needed annually to meet the growing need of the world’s population, but only 4,000 to 6,000 graduates will join the workforce each year.
• Laboratory test results constitute a significant portion of the patient’s medical records vital to the diagnosis and treatment of illness and disease
How sweet it is......my wonderful husband and parents sent me flowers at the begining of this week. I'm truly thankful and so very blessed!!
Rain rain go away. I want some sun! Two things to keep in mind for this weekend:
1. Tulsa Rocket & Air Show
2. Arts Festival in OKC (a Towe family favorite, especially the food)
Hope its a great one! Cheers!

LIVIN' FOR THE WEEKEND
Ahhh...the weekend. How cherished it is and it always seems to go by so fast. I'm always wanting more weekend.
So, work has been going ok. I wont bore you with the details, but for once in my life, I wouldnt mind going back to the housewife life. I am having a hard time keeping up with dog, laundry and house all while holding a steady job. Hopefully all that will change when I settle into my early hours! And maybe my clean-freakness will slightly dissipate.
Annie has been doing well. Matt bought her a pool on Sunday. Yes, Annie got a pool. It's just one of those small plastic $10 ones from the store. Remember the ones when you were little, like the green turtle one or the blue whale, etc...? She absolutely loves it. It's the first thing she runs to when she goes outside. Cutest lil' thing ever.
So...I have been at an oncology clinic this week.....those people are amazing. One man played harmonica for everyone and he was 86 years old. Just going to town in the waiting room. Those cancer patients are awesome! I took pictures of Annie to hang on their wall & everyone noticed they were new & commented on how cute she is (oh they too are fooled...looks can be very deceiving....hahaha).
Looking forward to a weekend of doing nothing!! Sunday we celebrated Matt's birthday at his parents house & this Saturday my parents are coming up for his birthday dinner. I wonder if I will get 2 weeks for my birthday?!
If you could go on vacation, where would you go? If you just had a couple days over the weekend.
Oh and I should note, that our yard & garden are looking so pretty. Such a nice thing, spring is!

OH THE MADNESS....
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
We got the weekend kicked off right Friday. Matt had the day off, so he drove me to work (didnt want the new car getting hail damage) and had lunch with me & then when he picked me up, he took me to a happy hour @ full moon on the patio. LOVED it!
Saturday we took Annie to muddy paws so she could play with some friends while we did a ton of yard work (and I must say, it looks soo good). And then the unbelievable happened: our sink stopped up. We also had Singaporeans coming in town that Matt was meeting at the airport, oh and I had 15 people coming over Sunday for Easter. YIKES! So, somehow we barely pulled off Easter without a kitchen sink & getting it fixed is still in the works. At least, for now, the appliances & plumbing in the bathroom are still in working order!
Yesterday was stressful trying to get everything ready for family & friends to come over. Matt & I need like a week of sleep to catch up on after all our hard work (did I mention he is the best husband ever!!?) but it was absolutely worth it to see & spend time with everyone.
This week has gotten off to a sleepy start. Hopefully it picks up as the week goes on! We have a busy weekend ahead of us as Matt's birthday ends it on Sunday.
More pics & other updates to come later.
