Phone Free Day!
We declared yesterday phone free day at our house. It rocked!!!
I turned the ringers off, muted the answering machine and let the sucker ring. Awesome!!!
After a rough week on the kids I decided it was best to have no friends and no phone interrupting our day together yesterday. Grant shot aliens in his new 360 game, Paige and I read a book "The Tiger Rising" together and then took an hour long nap. We got up and watched "Lady in the Water" together (two thumbs WAY up for that one), Abi babysat and played "Sims" on the computer.
When Kurtis got home we had dinner and played "Bunco". Then we watched a little "I Shouldn't be Alive" on Discovery Channel.
It was the most relaxing day we have ever had.

Proud of my People
Things I have learned living in Oklahoma
1. Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air
2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Oklahoma.
3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Oklahoma plus a couple no one's seen before.
4. If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.
5. Onced and twiced are words.
6. It is not a shopping cart; it is a buggy.
7. Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.
8. People actually grow and eat okra.
9. Fixinto is one word.
10. There is no such thing as "lunch". There is only dinner and then there is supper.
11. Ice tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!
12. Backards and forwards means "I know everything about you."
13. 'Jeet?' is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
14. You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work until

15. You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM OKLAHOMA IF:
1. You measure distance in minutes.

7. You carry jumper cables in your pickup...for your OWN pickup.
8. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco and ketchup.
9. The local papers cover national and international news on one page but require 6 pages for local gossip and sports.
10. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
11. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm".
12. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas.
13. You know whether another okie is from, north or south as soon as they>open their mouth.
14. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as "goin' Wal-martin" .
15. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good pinto-bean>weather.
16. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop. it's a Coke,>regardless of brand or flavor.>>Example: "What kinda coke you want?"
17. Fried catfish is the other white meat.
18. We don't need no stinking driver's ed....if our mama says we can drive, we can drive.
19. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from Oklahoma (and those who just wish they were). (I think it has to be worse if you put it on your blog!)
Not EVERYONE can be an okie, it's an art form and a gift from God!

Help I'm laughing and I can't shut up!
Mindy and I have been working on our lean and toned bodies by attending a yoga class once a week (this week it was actually twice!).
Anyway, this last week I thought we were going to get kicked out. It all started with a yoga squat that went to this move
Then, we were to extend it to this:
That's when things got tricky! Mindy makes her "move" and lands with a head bonk to the hard wood floor. It was so funny that Mindy and I began laughing hysterically. Seriously, we couldn't stop!!! It was one of those awkward moments you have at a funeral or in church when you are uncontrollably laughing at the worst time ever!! This lasted for like 2 minutes or so and we missed the next several moves.
But to brag on my pal, I must say that she was the only one in the class to complete the move (even after the head injury). Way to go Min!!
