eBay scam

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

I used to be an avid eBay fan. I still am to a degree. However, the latest trend where sellers set a low bid price and “hide” the real price in the shipping cost has scam written all over it. For example, a nice bamboo water fountain (which I’ve had my eye on) with only [...]

I'm back…Tennessee recap

Friday, May 28th, 2004

After a long 25 hours in a minivan with 2 attention-starving children, we made it back safe and sound to Oklahoma. Here’s the short breakdown of our trip:
Friday morning, 7:00 am
On the road to TN and a lot of 1-40 to see.
2:30 pm – Received a phone call from our housesitter (who was borrowing our [...]

Va-cay-shun

Friday, May 21st, 2004

I’ll be in Nashville, TN until next Thursday so no blogging in the meantime. I’ll tell you all about it when I get back. I’m sure my blog will be missed. Yeah, right.

Toilet talk

Thursday, May 20th, 2004

Since we’re on the subject of gross stuff, check this out. Although the reference to Ally McBeal is a little outdated! C’mon people.
Now this is something to write home about! Yeah Germans! I wish I could have invented the device that sold over 1.6 million! I’d be a millionaire. (hooo haaaa haaaa haaaa, rubbing my [...]

Eeewwww. Gross.

Tuesday, May 18th, 2004

Of course, I discover this right before I leave for my trip to Tennessee to spend the weekend in a hotel! (Not that there aren’t grosser things in a hotel – you’re just sharing your bed with a billion other people and their gross habits…) I’ll be bringing my Lysol along, thank you.
What’s [...]

Good Old Oklahoma Grease

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

I didn’t realize that Oklahoma grease was such a hot commodity until we made it national. Coined the “grease bandits“, these Edmond thiefs stole 5000 lbs. of grease from 3 different restaurants. (Total retail value of $380 – what a steal.)

Mother of all meetings

Thursday, May 13th, 2004

Today and tomorrow mark the mother of all meetings. Trying to write a strategic vision for the marketing department and how it relates to the university as a whole is a really exhausting, yet exciting process. We have big dreams for the school and we’re not afraid to ask for what we want to make [...]

Now look what happened

Wednesday, May 12th, 2004

We really did it. As a result of the prison abuse, Iraq struck back and beheaded Nick Berg. That wasn’t a smart move, now was it? Quit playing their game! We’re not fixing the problems in Iraq; we’re only making them worse.

The Abuse Photos

Monday, May 10th, 2004

I’m really disgusted by the Iraqi abuse photos that have been shown to the public lately and I’m sure there are much worse ones that they are not showing. I think that our American soldiers failed miserably at representing the United States. What respect do they have to gain from all this? None.
True, they [...]

Food=Happiness

Saturday, May 8th, 2004

I took the day off to spend some time with my sister. She’s going through a tough time right now and she needs someone to be there for her. To me, food= happiness. So, I made her pancakes this morning for breakfast then we headed out to Starbucks for some much needed caffiene for her. [...]
