Girl's Weekend 2014

So about a week and a half ago I took a fabulous weekend trip to Dallas. I love Dallas. Actually it was Arlington, but ya know, whatevs.

My aunt, our friend Kyla, and I all went to see George Strait's last show before his "retirement." Supposedly it will be his last, but give it 5 years and I bet we see him out touring a little. Regardless though we had a blast. And instead of talking all about it, I thought I'd let the pictures do the talking!

Sorry for the picture overload. Ok, not really.

on the road

we purchased vip tickets because it was all we could get. this was the swag.

we had ritas all weekend

some random bar called Cowboys. 

Huge boot in the VIP tent.

The infamous Dusty Jacket. I've never seen Pure Country.

Miranda came out to sing a couple of songs with Mr. Strait.

This isn't a limo. Luckily there were no cops.

her drink got party fowled so she had to drink it from the hole on the side.

My most favorite picture taken that weekend.

Making it rain like they did at Cowboys. We were really excited.

Shhh....we were actually leaving Texas.

Lots of fun, lots of stories, lots of inside jokes and laughter. It was a fabulous time and I wanna do it again!

Give Thanks

So I've been cruising around blogland and I've realized that Spring/Summer makes everybody absent from there blogs. It's kinda crazy. We all get so busy and don't have time to blog but we all miss it so much. If only I was an organized person I could probably plan and type out my posts. But what fun would that be? It's 12:21 am Friday night/Saturday morning. And I'm going to write about my vacation some more.


I learned something while I was gone. I learned that there are some hateful people out there, but more of them are so kind hearted and self-less.

And today I want to gossip about some ladies. Not bad gossip though! Read on!

See, in between Eric and Kenny we had to pee. And the bathroom line on our level was waaaay to long. So I grabbed the wife and Kyla (who needs a nickname) and we trekked it up 3 levels up hill the whole way. It was the longest walk of my life. All just to go pee. We finally made it outside to the less full bathroom. Which, I must say is where the awesome pictures of me were taken! I don't know how long we were gone. To me it was 10 minutes, to my aunt it was 45. Not once did one of us think to look at our phones. But then I heard somebody say Kenny is coming on now. And I though "Self, get your drunk ass back in and get to your aunt. She wants to see him and is waiting for you!!!!" And so off we went. I don't remember the walk back, but oh well. But I remember when we got back down there that the sand bar was PACKED. It was bad. We think that they stopped looking at bracelets because my aunt has been in the sand bar before and has NEVER seen that many people down there. Unfortunately because of our pee break, we lost our awesome seats standing spot. People had pushed their way through and my auntie just didn't wanna deal with it. I don't blame her. But now, I felt like shit. I felt that it was my fault that we weren't close. Mind you I was drinking so I wasn't really thinking. Just feeling. lmao. I don't really know how things started out but something amazing happened. We told people about my aunt's story. Everything she has gone through and how this concert was something that she really wanted to do. And people started letting her go through to the very front. They were being so selfless and it was amazing. It first started with a mother and daughter. Tiffany and Kim Schwartz.

Terrible picture but ya know. 

They understood because Tiffany's (the daughter) best friend passed away from cancer. These women were absolutely wonderful. I couldn't thank them enough and I don't think I will be able to. I did find Tiffany on fb and told her about this post. So Tiffany, if you're reading this, thank you times 56651341. You and your mother have a wonderfully kind spirit. Your best friend is so proud of you guys. Again, thank you. 

Then there was another group of girls. And they were amazing too! Alisha Cole and Alaina Lansing. These girls rock! They passed the message on as well. There were people in front of us who were really really hateful and didn't want to let us up front with my aunt. We didn't care, but these girls encouraged and helped us get to her. They didn't let some ol' bitties stop us. And you girls, I can't thank you enough either. 

*not my picture*

I know that I will always remember what these ladies have done for my family. And next time I'll pay it forward and do something for somebody else. Because of these beautiful ladies. 

Proceed to Party

It's Thursday...almost time for Friday. Woot woot. And since it's Thursday it's time to link up with one of with one of my sassy favorites!

We all know that I love me some tequilla. And if you don't know...well now you do. I love it and it makes me happy happy happy. This weekend I consumed tequila. A lot of it. I pregamed with it, then had huge margs. HUGE. 

Double fisting at its finest.

More beer...

And more beer and margs. And I had no idea she was doing that! 

Oops...

And my personal favorite. It was just time to lay down. At least I threw up a peace sign. lol. 

I love parties and drinking. And this was sooo much fun! 

Day 1

Hey cupcakes. I miss you. I've been busy getting back to life since my vacation. I'm so behind on blog reading too. Woof.

I know that I have enough material for the week but I can't decide what to talk about on what day. Hmmph.


I'll just start from the beginning. Wife and I left on Friday afternoon to start our journey. We did really well until we got stuck in traffic. I figured it was just OKC 5 o'clock traffic, but there was actually a car accident. That shit looked rough. But we made it!!! And I only had to use my gps once. And I don't even know why I did because I've been to my auntie's enough times I should know how to get there.

She's a princess. Don't argue, you won't win.

After we got there we hung out and lugged our 646648945 bags in. Mind you this was only a 4 day trip. We don't pack lightly. I don't think we know how. After we visited for awhile it was time for dinner! My favorite. lol. We went to BJ's which is a brewhouse. I'd never been to a brewery before so I was excited. That shiz is HUGE!! And it was commencement night for OU so they were even busier than normal. I knew that since I was at a brewery I had to have some beer, and not budlight. I wasn't sure what kind I wanted so they let me sample 3 of them. 

From left to right 

Lightswitch Lager

Brewhouse Blonde

Jeremiah Red

Jeremiah Red was the winner. It's like an Irish Ale and I really enjoyed it!

I even went and out did myself and did OOFD. I don't EVER do those. It's kinda crazy. Unfortunately I can't post the pic because I deleted it but you can check it out here.

The girls.

After that it was time to go home. The next day was Dallas/Kenny day!!

What A Weekend

Ahhhhhh!!!! I had a fabuous weekend but it went by so fast and I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow. Sad face. I know that I said last week that I hate doing weekend reviews and I really do, but this weekend has to have one. Actually, it will probably be reviewed all week. I promise not to go on about the same stuff over and over though. =)

We had a fabulous time! I don't think I've ever had a girl's weekend and this one just set the bar for the rest of them. I don't even know what I want to write about today so I'll just show you some pictures.

Wife, Myself, Auntie at BJ's Brewery

Our feet on the floor of the Dallas Cowboy Stadium

Seriously I was so excited to see this. I wrote about how I wanted to be one once, so 

this made me so so so happy!

Wife, Kyla, Myself, Auntie...get your drink on!

The one and only Mr. Eric Church!

Kenny 

The new tattoo that Auntie and I got. I just want you to know how bad this effin hurt

cupcakes. So bad. And it hurts soooo bad today. 

Wife and I before we left for our roadtrip!

There's a lot more where this came from. Fun stories, embarrassing pictures, all kinds of stuff! 

Come back tomorrow!

I'm home! Part One

'Ello lovelies! I'm finally back on my computer after a wonderful vacation. I already miss it and want to go back. I seriously contemplate moving there sometimes. lol.

I don't even know where to begin. But this post is going to be in two parts because I took too many pictures for one post! And there are a ton of pictures of kittens. Just beware. I won't post all of them but there probably will be a lot. lol.

Well...here's how I started out my trip

Yes, that's a boom box in my passenger seat. Don't judge! lol.

 I told ya'll I drive a hoopty and the radio not working is one of the beautiful things about it.

I had to have my jams on the way there for sure!

OMG Oklahoma drivers are the rudest drivers in the fucking world. Not even kidding. I got cut off so many times. And they wouldn't let me on interstates from entrance ramps. I just had to sit and wait. The other lanes were open! They refused to get over. Ohhh...and they love to tailgate you if you don't go as fast as they want to.

We're going through a work zone and the speed limit is 65...I'm already going 70 (yes I speed) and they are right on my ass! I fucking hate it.

Anyway...so I got to my auntie's with only a handful of problems.

I was so happy to see her.

But...the woman is kinda crazy. She has 4 cats and a turtle and a man.

Yeah...it's fun. lol.

No, she's amazing at taking care of people and animals so it suits her perfectly.

She has a cat named Pixie. A cat named Abby. And two 11 week old twin kittens. Lilly and George.

And George was a girl until the day I came down.

He had to go to the vet that day and it turns out her little Georgie was just George.

And the turtle's name is Crush. Yes, like the one on Finding Nemo.

On the top is Lilly

On the left is Pixie

On the right is George

I didn't get a picture of Abby or of Crush.

I got there and we had some awesome food at a place called Dickey's. It's a bbq joint and it was pretty damn good.

That night we just hung out at home and watched some tv. I had driven for 4 hours and

didn't feel like doing anything anyway.

The next day is when the fun started. We said that we were going to go to the zoo. Then we were going to go to a movie. But first we had to run to walmart. I know, I know, what kind of fun can anybody have at walmart? Well, my aunt and I can have tons. Everytime we get together we go to Wally World. We spend money we shouldn't on shit we don't need but it's a great bonding experience and it's soooo fun. It's our thing.

Above left is me. My hair is up for the first time in a year. I neeeeeed a haircut.

Above right is my wonderful auntie. She has a bum foot right now hence the machine thing

And the bottom are pictures of her hunnie hula hooping. Yep. That's right =).

So what about the movie and the zoo? Well that shit never happened. Three hours at walmart happened. Hahahahaha. I love it.

Then we went and ate at WhatABurger. I had a simple cheeseburger and that thang was

fucking huge! OMG.

We went home and then it was time to get ready to go out. Yep! One of my most favorite things

in the world. lol.

We met up with a wonderful friend of my aunt's. Her name is Kyla and we've gotten close too.

She's like a crazy older sister that I never had.

Kyla, Myself, Auntie

*please excuse the uber whiteness. Stupid iPhone flash makes me look ridiculous.

So we pick up Ms. Kyla and head over to Bricktown. Which is downtown Oklahoma City. And since

I'm a small town girl, I must say it's AMAZING!

this isn't my own photo.

Once we got there we went to dinner at Chelino's. Auntie and I had just eaten but Kyla was starved so

we split an appetizer. But this is actually what I consider my "dinner" lol.

and it was damn good.

And that is all I'm doing for now...My hands hurt. The second half will be up soon ;)

And All That Good Stuff

ps. I didn't do a preview first and my pictures aren't in the order I had them in. I don't know wtf happened. Sorry!
