Give Me A Break

Yeah. What Kari said www.karitales.blogspot.com.
We're Baptist. We're not getting points for this anyway. 

Spring Fever

Spring has practically sprung in The County. The weather is warming, the grass is greening, and the locals are bringing their boats out of winterization, getting prepped for that first day of fishing on Broken Bow Lake. And as we all know, you can't make a trip to the lake without stopping by Wal-Mart(s) to stock up on supplies...but it's always a hassle pulling a boat and trailer through a crowded parking lot..thankfully a friend of mine spotted a fellow Countian who has got this problem W-h-i-p-p-e-d!

And they say we're not forward thinkers down here in The County...special thanks to my friend and his handy cell phone camera...he's also responsible for the "Not for Hire" post..

The Little Things Give You Away

I have seen things (or perhaps I should say a thing) today that no girl should ever have to see. You would think that witnessing firsthand a case of Munchausen by proxy would be the most disturbing encounter of the day... alas, it was not. And the worst part of it...or possibly the best part  for any readers...is that I can't tell you about it. I would probably lose my job....or at least be highly criticized should my boss ever uncover my Lent challenge. So, I'll just keep it to myself...trust me, you should be thanking me. 

And by the way Kari...if we can find a driver who'll keep a stick of deodorant at the ready as well as our car, cake, and champagne...our life will be complete.

Day Two of Bloggin for Lent Down!

Don't Give Up On Me Baby

Ok...so 40 days of bloggin'. That's the challenge that kari (www.karitales.blogspot.com) and i have taken on. Yes...leave it up to us, two non-catholics, to blog for lent. Normally you could argue that blogging isn't really giving up anything or making any sort of sacrifice, but I would counter with the fact that...Dude...I'm  from McCurtain County..there are like 5 Catholic people here...I think I'm definitely contributing...possibly just because I know that Lent and lint are two different things...and also because when I did run into one of those 5 Catholic's today I didn't stare at them and say "Hey! You got somethin' on your forehead...might wanna go warsh."

And I sooo have to admit that had Kari not twittered me (oh yeah, we're twittered up) and reminded me that I had 2.5 hours until the first day of Lent was over, then I would have completely forgotten and started tomorrow. But that's what friends are for! 

So here we go!

Around My Hometown

A colleague of mine has one of the funniest obsessions. He keeps his cell phone handy and snaps odd photos from around The County. Last week I begged him to start his own blog and share his "art" with the rest of the world. He refused, so I'm doing it for him. I honestly don't know what's funnier, the pictures, or his narrative (which follows the pic). So here you go world...the brilliance that is The County.





"So.....I'm at the Roadrunner gas station this past Friday and this truck pulls up beside me. Was it really necessary to paint "Not For Hire" on the door? Do people run up to this truck when they see it and ask to hire the owner? You know at some point this guy had to be sittin' around on his porch thinking "Son of a Bitch! That's the last damn time someone's gonna ask me to hire out my truck!"

I've Got A Question For You

Ok, so i've been MIA from www.whatwouldjahnido.blogspot.com ( i hate typing that out...again, thanks JUSTIN). I've decided to ease back into it Actor's Studio style.
