Valentine Magic

Happy Valentines Weekend! Yesterday Payslee & I went to visit the residents at Sterling House on Sante Fe..She was wearing her Valentine dress from http://www.doggiedudsbydeb.com/ and of course a matching bow. She was feeling pretty sassy and kept letting me pose her all over while we waited on the folks to finish dinner..Then we handed out little Valentines with Payslee's face on them to the residents..They were very cute. Last night Payslee went with her friend, Fudge, the Chocolate Lab who is quite a bit bigger than she is! They had a good time.

It Didn't snow much on the North Side yesterday..Happy about that..I'm pretty much TIRED of Winter at this point..Not even really motivated to watch the WINTER Olympics! It will be nice when it dries up a bit and Sawyer can no longer put his face in the mudholes in the back yard..

Well today begins the Valentines Weekend.. I think MJ and I are going to watch "Wolfman" tonight..I've wanted to see if for awhile..but I'm thinking the Movie Theatres are going to be slam packed this weekend. Not really sure what our other Valentine plans are at this point..but I think Mom is coming up Sunday or Monday to pick up her furniture from "Lynn Waggoners House of Bargains".. lol..I'm getting a new leather chair too..So glad that Lynn got married so I can have his magical hand-me-downs! For those of you sending Roses for V-day!

A ROSE IS JUST A ROSE... NOT!

Do you know what you're saying when you send your sweetheart a dozen yellow roses? Here's a handy-dandy guide:

Red Rose -- Love; I love you
White Rose -- Eternal Love ; innocence; heavenly; secrecy and silence
Red Rose Bud -- Pure and lovely
White Rose Bud -- Girlhood
Pink Rose -- Perfect happiness; please believe me
Yellow Rose -- Friendship; jealousy
Red and White -- Together; unity
Thornless Rose -- Love at first sight
A single, full bloom -- I love you; I still love you
Bouquet of full blooms -- Gratitude
Tea Rose -- I'll always remember

Be Romantical!! Have a good one!

Hospital Visits & Fun

Yesterday Miss Payslee had a visit with her friend, Mollie the Golden Doodle at the Hospital in Norman. We take them there to help the patients with their physical therapy. It was so sweet when this lady was holding Payslee and said to me, "I've been here for 3 weeks and this has been my best day".. Aww! How Sweet is that..and Miss Pays just loves it too! She was smiling the WHOLE time yesterday. I had her in her cute Heart dress with matching Pink Bow..and everyone keep oooing and awwwing over her.. She did all her tricks including her "Oprah" trick..where I get the camera out and say "Smile like Oprah" and she opens her mouth and smiles (like she is doing in the picture).. She is such a good girl. I also took her by to see her Breeder..She had not seen Miss Pays in awhile, and she took a million pics of her..

So James Otto has a new song!! Its called "Groovy Little Sumer Song" and you can hear it on ITUNES. Its freakin awesome, and I'm quite certain you will like it.. He's supposed to release a new cd a little bit later this year..Very excited about that! Also excited about Lady Antabellum and Tim McGraw scheduling a concert at the Zoo Amp..Its coming up on June 13th I believe..Should be goodtimes..

Valetines Day is just around the Corner..Wanna be Cheap but Creative? Here ya go..

Have a lotta love in your heart, but not a lot of loot to back it up? Not to worry -- the most romantic Valentine's Day gifts require imagination, not money. "Think back on the most treasured gifts you've received," says Laura Shanahan, a New York consumer-tips columnist. "Chances are they were the most thoughtful, not the most costly." Here are her top 10 tips for Valentine's gifts that show the most caring, not the most cash:

*An appointment book with one date filled in -- that of a romantic getaway for the two of you. It doesn't have to be a Caribbean cruise. A day of "playing hooky" together at an out-of-the-way park and a back table at a dim bistro are perfect for creating that loving feeling.

*A gift certificate for your honey's choice of pampering treatments performed by you. A massage, shampoo, and a bubble bath with room service -- their wish is your command.

*A heart-shaped box from card or novelty store. Place a handwritten note inside: "Contains 365 blown kisses just for you -- take one a day."

*Pajamas for the two of you. He wears the pants, she wears the top.

*A cozy picnic. Never mind the snow. Lay out a blanket on the living room floor and serve up finger foods you can hand-feed each other. Don't forget the candles.

*Sweep your sweetie off his or her feet with tickets to a ballroom dancing class so you can stay cheek to cheek all year round.

*Indoor "sky writing" is a great way to say I love you to that special someone. Simply make a poster with a declaration of your devotion and tape it to the ceiling right over the bed. It will be the first thing your sweetheart will see upon wakening Valentine's Day -- and your final, sweet-dreams message.

*A fortune -- or more. Get a handful of fortune cookies from a specialty market or your local Chinese restaurant. Compose your own personal messages.

*A dozen red balloons. Before you blow them up, insert tiny trinkets or love notes. Give the blowup, treasurer filled results to your beloved for a popping good time.

*A blank journal you'll head "Reasons I Love You." Every reason will have it's own page.

Valentine Magic

Well Valentines Day weekend is coming up..I didn't have a Valentine last year..So I'm pretty excited..Even though I agree its a ridiculous holiday built up to crush the dreams of many men who didn't find the perfect flowers, candy, or restaurant reservation..I really just like it because of its Pink, pretty wonderment..I love giving people those ridiculous little Valentines and I love Hershey's Kisses in Pink foil..& Big giant stuffed love animals.. See how girlish that is!

If you have trouble being romantic
A professor at Bowling Green State University has done a number of studies on romantic behavior. He asked adults between the ages of 18 and 79 what the most romantic behavior is -- and here's the top ten:

1)The kiss
2) Flowers (giving and receiving)
3) Dinner (out; making dinner for/with me; candlelight, wine, music, no kids)
4) Talking
5) Holding hands
6) The Hug (in bed after the alarm goes off; unexpected)
7) Sharing outdoor leisure activities (picnics, beach, ice skating, moonlight swim or drive, fishing, walk in the park)
8) Gifts (expensive; diamonds; jewelry; candy; unexpected or surprise gifts)
9) Walking (in the evening; at night; in the rain; in the moonlight)
10) Touching (hand on knee; pat on shoulder or hand; slight caress; petting; caressing; head in lap or sitting on lap; playing with hair)

Yesterday I let the babies go play outside for a little while..and MJ & I were sitting in the living room when he says, "LOOK AT HIM!!".. Um yes..Saw Saw had somehow managed to find a puddle and threw himself into it! He was dripping mud/water from his body, so into the sink he went! Why does he want to keep doing that! He's a shih-tzu, not a lab! I'll be so glad when my backyard dries up so I don't have to worry about him dancing in water! Rally is the only smart one..he stays OUT of the water!! Payslee & Sawyer are just messy biscuits!!

Shogun Wii Superbowl fun!

Well I had a funtimes weekend..Friday MJ & I went and had sushi at Okura..It was delish..Mom came up on Saturday and we went shopping around..Found some great sales at the mall. She was pretty much sick of 'farm living' since they had been without power for so long, so she wanted to get out..We had lunch at Cafe 7..and that is just an awesome place to eat! We had a Asian Salad that was SOO Good!

Then on Saturday night MJ & I had made plans to meet up with some friends at Shogun..I had not been there in awhile, and we were looking forward to a little slicin' and dicin at the Hibachi Grill! I had some Sesame Chicken and it was delish! There were several at my table that decided to partake in something called a "Sake Bomb" in which you take a Saporo beer and put a shot of Sake On top of your chopsticks..then you slam it down and the shot falls off the Chopsticks into the beer and you 'shoot' it..This did not sound appealing to me, because I'm not a fan of Sake..but we had so much fun at our table that our Hibachi chef came back out and wanted to do a shot with us after he had cooked our meal!! How funny is that! So we had a great time..This was MJ's first time in meeting the majority of my friends. He did very well..he has 'Stranger Danger' like me, so I'm pretty proud of him for going at all! Then we went back to my house and played "Wii Karaoke".. It was pretty funny..Here's a sample of the magic..


Then Yesterday we watched the Superbowl at my house.. If you missed the Funny Commericals you can watch them SUPERBOWL COMMERICIALS

My Favorite was the Fiddling Beavers for Monster.com I just like Fiddlin Beavers, what can I say! The game was good this year too, and I watched everything except the half-time show..During half-time we played a little Wii Frisbee..

Looks like more snow is in the forecast for tonight..I teach my class this evening, so we'll see if it gets cancelled..Tonight we are talking about Radio Programming, so it should be funtimes. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Toothtastic..

Well I went to the Dentist yesterday..It wasn't as bad as I thought! I'm going to have to have 16 procedures before its all said and done..and I got 3 of them yesterday. Yesterday Dr. Cox rebuilt a tooth for me..We thought I might have to have a root canal, but I didn't! Hooray! ...But just barely! He said if I had waited a MONTH longer it would have been Root Canal City! The crazy part is that its not like I haven't been to the dentist in years..I just went last year and got 4 fillings..but you really have to find a dentist that is willing to tell you like it is..because after looking at my silver fillings in my mouth yesterday, I should have been taking them out LONG ago..They are so awful looking! Leaking, and turning my teeth brown! Blargh..So seriously, if you have some of those fillings, ask your dentist if they are 'healthy'.. They don't last forever! So I go back on the 14th to start taking out more of the fillings and replacing them with good, healthy fillings.. If you ever need more info you can go to http://www.jimcoxdental.com/ After all the crap dentist work I have had over the years, I was happy that I didn't even feel the shots in my mouth, and the filling removal was loud, but it wasn't painful.. so Now I'm not so scared anymore about the next visits..

No therapy visits this week..They all got cancelled because of all the schools being out and weather issues..so we'll pick it back up next week. Tonight I'm excited to watch "Grey's Anatomy".. Mc Dreams is finally chief of surgery!! Should be a good one..Then tomorrow its Sushi fun with MJ.. Delish to find a man who loves Sushi as much as I do!!

St Jude Total & Dentist Magic!

Thanks to everyone who helped with the St. Jude Radiothon. We raised $102,930 for the Kids of St. Jude!! Awesome!!

Well today beings my Dental Quest.. Dr. Jim Cox has so kindly volunteered to tackle what is the Mouth of KC Sheperd! We will be taking out all the silver fillings in my mouth and replacing them with Clear fillings, or Crowns..Today we are talking about ONE possible Root Canal, which makes me scared a little bit. I'm a HUGE fan of the laughing gas, so I'll definately be having that..but I've never had a root canal before, so I'm hoping it doesn't come to that..I'm going to take my Iphone and headphones and listen to music while the grinding is going on..Dr. Cox knows I'm a big baby, so I have full faith in him to take care of me.

So from this point on I'm going to refer to my new boyfriend as "MJ".. Thats going to be his on-air name too, so if you hear me talking about him thats who it is.. Speakin of..Had a lovely battle of Wii sports with him yesterday..I have to say that I am really kindof improving at Bowling..but still having trouble with Frisbee golf! I'm also really kicking up my game on Guitar hero..I'm enjoying the Wii Fit plus too..good times..

Payslee has been driving me insane with the snow crap outside..She needs a LOT of exercise, and when she doesn't get it..she is a pestering, whiney, little baby girl..She keeps acting out and taking away all of Sawyer's toys and stuff..then biting him on his ears until he cries..She's pretty much a bully in a 6 pound Shih-tzu Body! Hoping today it will be possible for us to rollerblade, or take a LONG walk!!

Hi there Winter..

Well Wow..What a lovely Snow/ice/sleet storm we have had AGAIN here in OK! Thankfully I haven't had any trouble getting back into my garage..I was worried about that, because I didn't want to have to clear all that ice off every morning.. The Dog Babes have been having a BLAST in the Snow..Sawyer bounds around like he is in a giant pile of fluffy fun..and Payslee bounds around with him, even though she sinks down so quickly because she is so small! They come in with giant snowballs attached to their fur that I have to rinse off with warm water! What a mess! But they can't exercise any other way, so I just have to let them be wild outside! I'm hoping in the next few days we'll actually be able to walk..

Well Friday was funtimes..I went out to eat with my new magical dating guy..Happy for me that he loves Sushi, so we went to Shiki and it was delish..Saturday

we met Brandon & Amy at 'On the Border' for a little Guacamole Live action! After that we decided to play a little Wii over at my house..I'm proud to say that I pretty much dominated at Guitar Hero..So Booya on that deal. Sadly..Still could not kick it up enough for the Archery game..So I'll have to practice more on that one. Did my Wii Fit last night since its impossible to do any other type of exercise!

Today is our St. Jude Radiothon. We had to suspend it last week due to the crap weather. So it will be today and tomorrow..If you have not become a partner in hope just yet you can go online to www.kkng.com or call 800 516-7771.

I'm going to go teach my radio class tonight at Francis Tuttle..Woo ha!
