VICTORY

BOOMER!!!! and SOONER!!! The Sooners were down and out after our loss to Texas. I'm sorry, our beating from Texas. Then, Texas goes to OSU, and wins..but just barely. Crap. And then...things changed. Texas Tech beat Texas. Where did they come from?? And the Cinderella story about the kid out of the stands who won the kicking contest is now one of the prime players on the team??? What?!?!?!! So then Texas Tech goes to play OSU, this should be a good game since OSU is playing well. But what happens?? Texas Tech CREAMS OSU!! Crappity crap crap. Last night, the most highly anticipated game of the season. All day long, even on other networks, they were talking about the game to take place at 7pm. Jitters, nervousness, fluttering in my stomach...and what happens? OU shows up, plays one of their best games ever, and we stomp Texas Tech. What??? You were ready for the National Championship Red Raiders??? Well, you still may get there, but we have definitely put a kink in the system. I know that Jesse is sitting at home confident that her Mizzou Tigers are already comfortably sitting in the Big XII Champtionship, and just twiddling her thumbs waiting to see who they will play. It is now a three way tie, between us, Texas Tech, and Texas. One more week to go. We still have a big game in OSU next week, just for rivalry purposes, and now we have to not only win, but win BIG to even be considered.

Whew, at least it was a good game, and I found myself watching it to the very end, even though we were up by 40 points. I've seen OU lose leads that large before, and I've seen my beloved Sooners get nervous, or comfortable in their lead, and thus what follows is a series of turnovers, dropped passes, and overall poor playing.

But last night that was not the case. Beautiful passes, confident players, and a wonderful win last night!! BOOMER!!!

Finishing up the summer...

So as I am anxiously awaiting the OU/Texas Tech game in less that 27 minutes, I am fortunate in that my work laptop is not doing its infamous..restart every 10 minutes thingie, so I will take advantage of the time and fill you in on another summer trip.

Kris's parents (from Kris and John), own a lake house at Fort Gibson. Apparently this is an outing that the group of Michael's friends really look forward to and do it quite a bit (Scott and Valerie went as well). Sooo, I was not looking forward to this trip for several reasons: 1) I am fair skinned, the sun does not like me. 2) I am spoiled, I don't like to be hot for an extended period of time, unless I'm playing a sport, and even then...not so much. 3) I'm a fattie, and bathing suits do not like me (I am hitting the gym with new excitement, by the way). And 4) I've never been a fan of open water. I've never swam in a lake or ocean, and the thought terrifies me. NO, I am not scared of drowning. I am scared of what is under the water that I can't see, such as eels, monster fish, and dead bodies. BUT, Michael was really looking forward to going, so I decided to make the best of it. Even if I just took a book and chilled on the boat, I would make myself have fun darn it!!!

So, Michael and I drove up Friday after work, and it's up by Tulsa, so we got there around 9. Scott and Valerie were already there as well as Kris and John. The boys decided that they should take the boat out...at night...gee, wonder if Kelly's going to get into the water? The quick answer is no. Scott, Valerie, John, and Michael all jumped in, and I chilled out on deck.

The next day, we all get up, have an awesome breakfast via Kris (she is a fantastic cook!), and we take off to the lake. Once we get to the spot where we are going to put down the anchor, or set, or park, or whatever you call it, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, including 5 year old Dean were in the water...except me. I must say, that when I say the youngster JUMP off the boat, I was like, oh that's it, I HAVE to get it. So...Michael waited on me, and I tiptoed down the ladder, and.....I made it!!!!

I stayed in the water for HOURS, and we came up for yummy sandwiches, grapes, and string cheese that Kris had packed for us, and then I was right back in. Even went on a Sea Doo ride with Scott (and yes, I wore a life jacket for that one).

Here's Michael taking a break from spinning Dean on the noodle for a pic. That kid is fearless.

Overall, we had a good time, and even though I apparently used the wrong sunblock, since I applied it 20 bajillion times, I got a nice burn on my shoulders, I look forward to going back next summer :)

The time is now 6:50...and the Sooner Pride is about to march down the field and start the game....jitters!!!!! BOOMER!!!!

September 11, 2001

"Meet me in the Stairwell"
'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL' You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..I am ready to go.' I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said. 'Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now.' I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them. I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan . I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... This way... Take my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me? Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are 'ready to go.' I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. God During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the following: Stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father' If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do everything. Christ is my strength.

I copied this off of Belva's blog, as I believe in the message. I too, will never forget where I was when I heard the news, and I remember how our nation pulled together for what we did not think would be such a hard, long fight. Thank you to our military, and to my friends...all you Harmon's, and the Hesters, thank you for being a part of our military, and serving our country.

Grandparents Visit

So my grandparents have been telling me that they are going to come visit....sometime soon...now for about a year :) My grandpa had his stroke in January, and his health has been teetering. He has good days, and bad days. So I wasn't really planning on them coming out. Until one Friday at work I get a call from grandma saying that they are coming out tomorrow! YEAH!!!! So that night, I spent the night cleaning up a bit, and I made myself some new curtains (pretty spiffy if I say so myself...do they LOOK like tablecloths??? Cuz that's what they are...). Anyhoo, made the curtains, cleaned up, and was ready for them the next day. Check out my handy work...

I did that to all three windows in my living room...it adds some much needed color on the walls, and once I get the carpet in, it will be complete. Anyhoo...I met grandma and grandpa for a quick breakfast at the Cherokee Trading Post, and then we were off. They wanted to go around to the cemeteries around here and check out family. I knew that grandma started school in Clinton, and that they had moved around a lot, but I had NO idea how much family I had in Western Oklahoma. They are all buried, of course, but who knows...perhaps I have more relatives that I think...especially down here!!! So we went through Clinton, and grandma showed me where she used to live. Then to the Arapaho cemetery, where the garage and house that her dad built was still there and being lived in. And then to Butler, where I have about 15 family members!! Then last to the house. Grandpa said my swing was perfect...he said it even creaked in all the right places.

Grandma said it would be a perfect picture if the trash can wasn't in the way...but I still like it :)

One more thing about the zoo...I took these pics for Jesse. This was the HUGEST bear I've ever seen!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

WHAT A MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND we had!!! Jesse had a surgery planned, so she had already suckered me into babysitting...TOTALLY kidding...I love my little Harmons!!! Anyhoo, so Michael and I were going to take off Friday so that we could watch the little ones, while she and Michael (her Michael) were at the hospital, and then we planned to go to Tulsa to spend the long weekend with my parents. IRONICALLY, that Thursday morning, Jess calls me on my way to work and she's like..."Hey Kel, so ahh....Mizzou and OU are playing (baseball) TONIGHT at Bricktown. If I can get tickets do you want to go???" Well, hmmm....lemme think about that...YES!!!! So she got tickets, and I had to rush home after work to get my jersey (couldn't let her be all Mizzou'd out and me in my regular t-shirt could I??? We had a great time!!!

Me (the OU person), Jesse (even had a Truman TAIL!!!), and her Michael (Mizzou'd out as well)....

Me and my Michael - did I mention that he was ALSO wearing Black and Gold??? Where's the love???Here are the two teams shaking hands after a nearly 5 hour game!! And oh, yeah..SOONERS WIN!! Bruahahahahahahahahahaha

So Jesse's surgery, even though it had a few kinks, she eventually got home! Thank goodness. We took off to Tulsa and on Friday night, just went out to dinner with the folks.

Saturday was for the zoo! My parents have been in Broken Arrow for about 4 years now. And ever since they moved up there, there has been a penguin exhibit at the Tulsa zoo. Have they taken my nephew? YES! Have they taken my cousin Christy when she went up there? YES! Have they taken other friends when they visit? YES! Have they taken ME??? The penguin freak?? NO!!! So that was definitely one of the planned parts of the trip!!

We made it!!! Jesse, I must say, that the exhibit in St. Louis by FAR puts this one to shame, but it was still fun...

This rock has the different types of penguins engraved on it life-size, so you can get a real feel of how big the Kings are compared to the little Rockhoppers...

If you ever have the opportunity to go to this zoo, I highly recommend it. The Oklahoma City Zoo is good, but this one is so much better. Not only is it prettier, they have so many more trees and greenery, but it is more educational. They have dry erase boards in several of the exhibits so they can tell you quick little facts or even why an exhibit is empty. We were just at the OKC zoo for my birthday, so it was still fresh in our minds. This one put it to shame. AND with all the trees, it was much cooler!! Thank you Tulsa!

After the zoo, we rested for a bit, and showered up and mom, dad, and I introduced Michael to Incredible Pizza! yeah!! (again, one place that is much better in Tulsa than OKC). He beat me in miniature golf, but we still had a blast.

The next day we went to the Jenks aquarium, which was Michael's part of the trip. We had a good time, and this time I went through I actually got to read about things (last time I had young children with me...this time was better). We saw the "largest bull sharks in captivity", and got to walk through the "shark tunnel". So it was a pretty good day. That's where I snapped the pic of Michael wearing the lobster hat in the earlier blog..hehe.

We stayed one more night with mom and dad, and then trekked home the next day. A well-deserved, well-spent vacation.

Cocoa the Wonder Mut

So, Michael has his family living in his house, so he is spending all of his time over here (I'm soooo not complaining). But anyhoo, he tells me, after a month or so, that his niece is going to give away his dog. Well, change that, it was her kiddos dog, but then he kind of took over as owner, so I'm calling it his dog...anyhoo, the pups name is Cocoa, and she is a 5.2 pound chihuahua, and she doesn't really do well around kids. Hence, why she was needing to give her away. He said he wanted to spend one last night with her, so he brought Cocoa over to the crack house (as I so lovingly call my home :) ). She growled viciously at me when I walked in the door, but I got in the floor with her, and she was my new best friend. After seeing how much she adored Michael, and he enjoyed having her around, I was like..."we need to keep her." I think he was shocked, but....long story short, I bought a doggie door, some food and water bowls, and some super cute toys...and she came home for good :) She's so ugly she's cute, and she kinda grows on ya...here are some pics of her coming home...
See, so ugly she's cute. She, like a lot of other dogs, doesn't like being in the cage, so she was just fine on Michael's lap...
She's a sucker for a belly rub...check out the super cute toys I found!!! Could NOT have been more perfect...
She's had quite a good time playing with the toys, on the plush one the squeaker now doesn't work (Toy Story 2...), but she still has a great time with them both.. Don't be hatin' on my beautiful GREEN carpet (soon to be changed..hehe) After a long day of playing...this is not an uncommon site...

As a matter of fact, as I type this, I'm sitting on the couch, and Michael and Cocoa are asleep in the very same recliner ;P When she first came home, she followed Michael EVERYWHERE. And heaven forbid if I sat next to him, or (gasp) gave him a kiss!! She went crazy. If she couldn't see him, she would go insane. The first time he mowed the yard he kept her inside so she wouldn't run after the mower. Thank goodness for those new windows so she could at least see outside while she was whining...following him from window to window all around the house until he was finished...big baby hehe

You can see her little feet as she is between the blinds and the window, and Michael with the mower outside....so cute I had to take a pic. She's warmed up to me a bit now, and even though she still favors Michael, she will still cuddle up with me every now and then. And as long as he is the one she wakes up in the middle of the night, I'm fine with that!

Jesse tagged me, so I guess it's my turn. How it works:
1. Post the rules of the game at the beginning.
2. Each player answers questions about themselves
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and post their names, then goes to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read the players blog.

March...Part Deux

OHMYGOODNESS! By reading my last blog about my fabulous windows, I realized that I hadn't told you anything about My Michael. Last December, Kristy (who works in the lab) wanted to set my up with her husband's friend Michael. I was kinda sorta seeing Seth, so I didn't want to do that. But after I decided that Seth was not for me, I told Kristy to set it up! Michael and I started chatting over MySpace, and after I got over the sickness (the first one, then I got sick again in March), we met up for Pizza and Beer at a place called Friends. He's been around ever since...here's a goofy pic from our trip to the Jenks Aquarium...he's my lobster. (Friends reference...from Phoebe).

So anyway, that catches you up on him. He cooks, he cleans (sometimes), and he's funny and athletic. He's also 6'4", and played basketball in high school and college, so you can imagine we look funny walking down the street together. But I like 'em anywayz :p

Anyhoo...onto my birthday. I came to work that day, and the girls had balloons tied to my door handle, and our friend Christina had made me a cake (she also made the housewarming cake from earlier blogs)...it was so super cool..

One last thing for March (I know, I'm skipping around horribly), here's a pic with me and my awesome nephew, Tyler. We are standing on level ground. He is now 1 or 2 inches taller than me, wears a size 11 shoe, and he'll be 12 at the end of August....grrrrr.....he's supposed to be my special little guy...

One final basketball note, my brother in law, who coaches for Heritage Hall, and where Tyler is the ball boy (and he also practices with the high school team....he rocks), will no longer be coaching. He is getting his Masters Degree in Administration, and Heritage offered him a promotion this year. Assistant Dean or something, I'll double check and get back to you. Either way, it's great for them! Although I am severely bummed that I won't need to go to high school basketball games anymore (at least for a few more years when Tyler gets up there and will be the star player!!!)

March

I know, Jesse, I'm a horrible blogger. In my defense...I have all my pictures on my computer at work...and my computer at work went caput. So they gave me a newer old computer until mine comes in...and this new computer works AT work, but at home it restarts every 10 minutes. Sooo, I haven't been able to sit in my recliner, in my pjs, watching Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D List and type my blog. (I also haven't been able to watch movies at work, because the speakers on it aren't so hot...but anyhoo). Here I am!!! I have lots of stuff to catch up on, so I will try to do it in spurts.

March...my birthday month...I turned thirty...(gulp) and one. Before I get to the birthday, lets see what happened in early March. It was the dawning of the yearly HR meeting in Phoenix (where corporate is). James, the new cool boss, sent the dates, and of course I went to the Cubs site. Low and behold....there was a Spring Training game IN Phoenix...WHILE I was going to be there!!!! I calmly sent James an e-mail asking if we could ditch a day of work and go to the game at 1:05pm. I heard nothing, until a few weeks later, Marci, from corporate called and told me that we were going to a game!!!!!Third base line, perfect weather, and we played (and beat) the Oakland A's (sorry Mike and Jesse). I was sick-as-a-dog the week before the trip, but I HAD to go, because I couldn't miss out on the game!! I was up each night coughing my head off in my hotel room until I passed out around 4 am. (I'm sure the people next to me loved it, but I was trying to muffle it in a pillow). It was awesome. Come to find out...I had a tumor in my throat...NOT FUN!!! About 20 days and it goes away, but my goodness...HORRIBLE!!!

Anyhoo, while we were there we go out to dinner every night, and after the 1:05pm game, we went and played some games at Dave and Busters (I know, don't you want my job??? This was a "working" trip, after all), and then we went across the way to a steakhouse. I kid you not...there was a mechanical bull. How could I NOT ride on the mechanical bull??? Perhaps once in a lifetime right??? So anyhoo, there I am, in my Cubs gear, and I am the ONLY person who wants to try it...bunch of weenies I'm with ....get it??? Weenies...Bar-S?? Geez I'm funny.

Here I am signing my life away..."If you get hurt, you cannot sue this fantastic eating establishment" or "If you die, your family cannot sue us for the extreme loss" or something like that. The basket next to the form is...I kid you not....for tips. The guy running the machine (who also told me he was a Cubs fan), said "If you want me to be nice, you have to leave a big tip." I left nothing, which is perhaps why I didn't stay on very long...I DID make it to level 3...

The biggest joke was trying to get on the thing. He lowered it all the way down, and leaned it back, and I STILL had a hard time getting onto it...darn short legs. That had everyone laughing before I even got on!!! I had to take my shoes off because I was wearing flip flops...and I was expected to have a loop-handle thing, which would help me hang on, instead it was just a knot of rope...not as easy and gracefull as I made it out to be...hehe

The bull is over by the bar (shocker), and I was trying to get one of the 5 guys sitting there to do it as well, but didn't have any takers. One guy videos the whole thing on his cell phone, so I'm sure I'm on YouTube somewhere.

So after a fun trip in Phoenix, I come back to dreary Oklahoma. It's sad when you have to take your winter coat onto the plane just so that you can wear it walking to and from your car from the airport. People in Phoenix were looking at us pretty funny.

AND, while I was gone, Michael got super sick, and even took a few days off work and just stayed at my house. He sent me pictures of his foot and said "It's the only part of me that doesn't hurt..." Awwww, poor baby hehe. So I came back to help get him back to health as well. Thank goodness he got it WAY worse than I did. I'm a huge baby when I'm sick...

Windows!!!!

Here are the pics of the new windows. I cannot BELIEVE how much of a difference they make...AND...I have neighbors!!! AND...I can SEE them!!! You have no idea how much you love windows until you can't see out!






Bathroom window...believe it or not...the previous window just had that stick on stuff that LOOKS like it's frosted...hmph!

From the kitchen through the living room ACROSS the street. SEE the house???? hehe

From the kitchen out into the back yard.

Laundry room - OKA the sun room

From the living room out....NEIGHBORS!!!! hehe

December 2007

Merry Christmas!!! That's about all that happened. So here are some fun family pics.

A little backstory...every present...EVERY present my dad ever opens he always shakes it and says...It's a bas-ket-ball! Oh and imagine the groans from the family, but, it's dad, so it's still funny. Anyhoo. Since mom and dad bought the windows (pics to follow), I decided to make their Christmas memorable. Stac and I went in on an 8 gigabyte or megabyte or whatever the crap it is iPod. And I wanted to make the present memorable, so I decided, what better way, than to make it into a bas-ket-ball????? I'm so creative sometimes it hurts hehe. So here is the package as I wrapped it...

It looks like a piece of candy with the ribbons tied on each side...note the Santa Claus suspenders and the Santa Penguin tie...he's also wearing black Santa Claus socks...all three a staple at Christmas :)

So he opened it and he's like...It's a Bas-ket-ball!! And we're like...Yeah! Bet you weren't expecting that, huh?? But...it's a little flat?? So I acted upset like...I just BOUGHT that?? And it's flat??? What the???


So I was like...well, why don't you blow it up?? (Trying to get him to notice the slit in the side where I deflated the ball and put in the iPod). And..dad...looking totally confused but not really sure if I was joking...starts to try and blow it up. This pic is priceless..hehe

SUCCESS!!!!!!

Anyone who has ever been over to my grandparents house knows that you drive down the gravel road on the side to the back shop and turn around and come back. It's a well-known fact that grandpa gets upset if you go too fast and mess up his gravel...so...mom, Jerry, and Mike got him a speed limit sign to put up. It also was a big hit!

Can you BELIEVE that we found something cool in Coke that mom didn't have??? Me neither, so when I found this Neon Coke sign at Lowe's I HAD to pick it up!!! She's excited....

The Lester family...Stacy, Brian, and Tyler.

This is my uncle Mike and his granddaughter, Gabby (Melanie's daughter). Gabby's big sister Madison is below...

What the????

So...I get on here and I check my regular blogs every day. And yesterday I was thinking..hey, when was the last time "I" posted? October 28th???? Seriously??? Now I know that my life hasn't been very interesting, but hey, it gives you something to look at, right? So here goes, I'm going to play catch up....again....

November - Jesse has been wanting me to put up pictures of my house with MY stuff actually in it...so here you go Jesse, just for you :) Here is the bathroom...surprise!!! Penguins!!!

On either side of this dressor (left by the sweet old couple because I thought it was cute) are the doors to each of the bedrooms.

So from standing in the doorway from the Master Bedroom (or rather, the bedroom I picked to put my bed in), to the right is the kitchen...I still LOVE the see-through bar thingie. AND, just an FYI, for Christmas mom and dad bought me some barstools, so the 30-year-old chairs are NO MORE!!! And, if you swivel to the left, is the living room. By the way, in the middle of these two pictures is the matching 30-year-old dining room table from grandma's house.

From the front door, yes, you have to walk around the couch, but it adds depth..or something, and opens up the room. Anyhoo, now you have a clear view of the nifty table previously mentioned hehe...and yes, I'm watching Kathy Griffin's My Life of the D List...she is sooo funny.

Master bedroom on the left and "Office" on the right. Pardon the big box in the floor, that's all my soccer stuff since I am the Great Plains Registrar...lots o paperwork. Also, mom and dad bought me new windows (in next blog), so the old lady lace curtains have been removed too...yippee!!!
