| Concert night. Apparently in Oklahoma this is as close to a real concert as we can get: Live video footage at the movie theater. They did play their entire new album so Mike was ecstatic. |

Day 331: August 30, 2011
Day 330: August 29, 2011
 |
| Hard earned poker money. Mike bought us a Kindle! I get to use it for my electronic readings for class but I'm sure we'll share it on trips and travels. |
Day 329: August 28, 2011
 |
| P-p-p-poker face. Out of 90 people Mike ended up in 9th place and won a couple hundred dollars. Not as good as first place ($3,000) but good enough for us :) |
Day 328: August 27, 2011
 |
| Saturday night fun. If you visit Oklahoma for no other reason it must be for this. DNR: 11% beer brewed and sold only in the state of Oklahoma. |
Day 327: August 26, 2011
 |
| OU Concert Series. As part of OU's Howdy Week, we saw Stardeath & White Dwarves, BUCHO, and Chrome Pony. I only caught the last show and I must say the nephew of Wayne Coyne is very similar in (eccentric) style. |
Day 326: August 25, 2011
 |
| Herb Garden Experiment: Part II After last winter's herb garden finally bit the dust this summer, I decided to try growing some herbs again after all the summer traveling. We will (hopefully) soon start having cilantro to eat. |
Day 325: August 24, 2011
 |
| Sleepy time. Sadly, this is how we sleep every night. He's a pretty good cuddler. |
Day 324: August 23, 2011
 |
| Sad panda. Maybe the broken-hearted panda should have been a sign not to eat at the sushi restaurant. They had worms in their edamame. Ew. |
Day 323: August 22, 2011
 |
| First day of school blues. As I tried to prepare to teach my class, Frankie decided the textbook made a better napping spot instead. |
Day 322: August 21, 2011
 |
| The chef. Mike made an amazing meal of organic chicken, potatoes, and onions. Very tasty! |
Day 321: August 20, 2011
 |
| Live BULL riding. In celebration of Katie's birthday we went to an authentic honky tonk bar in OKC with real, LIVE bull riding. The bull was going pretty fast so all I got was a blur, but you get the picture. |
Day 320: August 19, 2011
 |
| Boomer! Erich had us over for crab night after his neighbor Dan brought back 20 1b. of fresh crab from the Florida Keys. He also bragged about his ridiculous liquor collection in preparation for the football season. |
Day 319: August 18, 2011
 |
| Souvenirs! My friend David brought me back some local jewelry from his trip home in China over the summer. Mike says I need some authentic Chinese clothing to wear them with though. |
Day 318: August 17, 2011
 |
| Paperweight. Mike's jaw nearly dropped to the floor when his Business Law book arrived in the mail. He was much happier to find out his class was only going to go through about 1/3 of it this semester. |
Day 317: August 16, 2011
 |
| New favorite lunch. Organic ham on wheat with hummus, lettuce, avocado, cilantro, and chips. Yum! |
Day 316: August 15, 2011
 |
| Three weeks and counting. Mike prepares for the impending OU football season with a new OU bandana and eye patch thingies. |

Day 315: August 14, 2011
 |
| Goodbye St. Louis, we'll see you again. Apparently St. Louis made quite an impression on Mike, he even said he wouldn't mind living there someday. I liked it because it reminded me of Sac. |
Day 314: August 13, 2011
 |
| Oh no, football season has started. At least it's a good reason to drink. Especially when it's a pre-season game and a blowout for the Rams. Wohoo Sam Bradford! |
Day 313: August 12, 2011
 |
| Second presentation. Even though I had three days notice to pull together a second poster, I think it turned out well, all things considered. Although I must admit there was not as much interest the second day :( |
Day 312: August 11, 2011
 |
| AEJMC 2011. Mike presented this wonderful poster on social network analysis. Oh wait, no I did. But he definitely made it look better by standing in front of it :) |
Day 311: August 10, 2011
 |
| Fish out of water. Even though we decided to catch a Cardinals game while in St. Louis, Mike still represented Nor Cal by sporting his Giants t-shirt and hat. Go Giants! . . . er, Cardinals |
Day 310: August 9, 2011
 |
| Lightening storms! The cats may have been scared but Mike and I (and Misfit) wanted to get closer to the action. |
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Day 309: August 8, 2011
 |
| 4th place! Woohoo! "Don't mind my redheaded friend" may have started off slow, ranking only 18th for the majority of trivia night, but we ended strong in 4th place. |
Day 308: August 7, 2011
 |
| King of the cat toys. After surviving the painful ordeal of having his claw cut too short and blood gushing all over the place, Frankie was rewarded with his choice of any toy from the secret toy box. Poor Frankie! |
Saturday, August 6, 2011
Day 307: August 6, 2011
 |
| Movie time! Rise of the Planet of the Apes was really good! Especially in balcony seating at the Warren :) |
Day 304: August 3, 2011
 |
| The Painkiller. That drink was massive. Limit 2 per guest. Cheddar's was surprisingly not a terrible restaurant and we got pretty good service (aka free honey butter croissants) |
Day 303: August 2, 2011
 |
| 303 days and still in love. Fun time at Chili's before we see Bridesmaids and escape the heat wave! |
Day 302: August 1, 2011
 |
| I might still be an overgrown kid. Re-decorated my home office and added chalkboard contact paper so I can write on the walls, Where the Wild Things Are decals, and hung up the lanterns I bought in Istanbul. Not sure how productive this will make me for my dissertation though. |
Day 301: July 31, 2011
 |
| Calamari, yum. For date night we decided to use a Groupon all the way out in Edmond (about an hour from our ouse) at a restaurant called Manhattan's. It was pretty good. If you're up for a drive, go to Manhattan's. |
Day 300: July 30, 2011
 |
| Breakfast. Of champions? Corned beef hash, eggs benedict, bloody marys, and mimosas at La Baguette. Yum. |
Day 298: July 28, 2011
 |
| Happening spot. Not really. There were mostly local rednecks and hicks inside. I'm not really sure Fargo, ND was more than I expected. |
Day 296: July 26, 2011
 |
| Hello Fargo, ND. Off on another grand adventure, destination: Fargo, ND. "It's more than you expect" |
Day 295: July 25, 2011
 |
| Birds on a wire. Future picture project for the house and something little I picked up from my day trip to Dallas. |
Day 294: July 24, 2011
 |
| A new addition. After coming home from Turkey and finding the garden overrun with weeds, I pulled them out, fought some spiders, and planted this little bush in their place. Hopefully it won't stay very little, it's got a lot of space to cover. |
Day 293: July 23, 2011
 |
| Spiders. Apparently we don't need to decorate for Halloween this year, the black widows living all over our house are doing that for us, Yuck. |
Day 292: July 22, 2011
 |
| Our love fern died. Well actually it's an orchid that we got in Paris. I think the heat wave and the fact that we don't turn on our a.c. was a bit much for the little one. |
Day 291: July 21, 2011
 |
| Summer collage. A little piece of everywhere we've been this summer, And it's not done yet! |
Day 290: July 20, 2011
 |
| Hopeful drinking. So we had a bunch of mason jars filled with corks around the house and I thought I would centralize them in one giant vase. Apparently that was a bit hopeful on my part. Looks like we got some drinkin' to do! |
Day 289: July 19, 2011
 |
| love birds. Even though I picked these up at an ol' lady store with my mom, I love these little birds. And may even shop at Coldwater Creek again. |
