Superior Wife

Just in case you were ever curious...

85 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Superior Take the test!

Don't be scared...

Don't be scared, I havent been swept away in the recent tornados here in Omaha... I've just been busy, really busy... you know, like car shopping, house shopping, browsing this new city, just enjoying life in general...

Don't fear though, hopefully I'll be back soon with a spectacular tale, or a delicious recipe, or a fabulous tip... but for now I am enjoying the summer!

Hah, finally made it!

So I read a lot of blogs and comment on a few of them. Many of them are so huge that they get hundreds if not THOUSANDS of comments which is great BUT has disadvantages. Sometimes people (whom we call trolls) decide that they have nothing better to do in life than get their panties in a wad and post hurtful negative comments about a writers blog of the day or even comment on their way of life in general. My opinion is: if you don't like it, click the "X" in the upper corner...thats what it was designed for.

So, I guess you could say I finally made it into that category of bloggers who get negative remarks! I posted a lighthearted comment on another (GINORMOUSLY followed) blog regarding which topic I thought the writer should get back to writing about. Another commenter apparently thought that was RUDE of me, clicked on my blog link and wrote her opinion (anonymously with no return email, of course) below one of my most recent (non related) posts. Needless to say, it got deleted... I don't have the time to deal with that kind of negativity or troll-ish-ness!

Anyway, enough of that and HAPPY FRIDAY. The hubs and I are going out for dinner tonight and I am MORE than excited!

best thing EVER!

do you like rootbeer floats? ya know, rootbeer with ice cream spooned on top that makes those delicious creamy bubbles at the top that take on a new consistency you never knew existed before...Mmmm! For me rootbeer floats were made famous by A&W but were especially made great while sitting around a camp fire roasting hotdogs (also consumed, Dr. Pepper floats). Well, while at the local Hy-Vee (grocery store chain up here) I spotted this strange looking BLUE milk in a glass jar, and then pink, yellow, peach, white and brown milk! What could this stuff BE!? Turns out it is flavored milk, I know what an idea! I don't remember what all the flavors are but the brown milk is NOT chocolate, its ROOTBEER flavored! Delicious! I think the other flavors are regular (white milk), peach, cookies and cream and cotton candy flavored!

Check out their website, seems like a wonderful small family owned business that would be wonderful to support!

Notes on Nebraska...

Random thing I saw today... Nebraskans seem to really like their custom license plates. I have never seen so many! Wierd one today -- X BANKR -- is it just me or that kind of boring to be broadcasting?

Wha...WHAT?

What's your footprint size?

Mine is a 10 depending on the shoe but thats not footprint I'm talking about.

The National Geographic Channel is having a special on the Human Footprint and the amount each person consumes in their lifetime.

Preview: A human will consume 4,476 loaves of bread in their lifetime

DEPARTURE DATE!

Woo Hoo!! Our time here in Oklahoma is coming to an end! We are driving up to Omaha Thursday afternoon and meeting the movers on Friday. The other good news is that I hope to have an interview on Friday with an ad agency in town. Hopefully that turns out good! I am so in love with the church that we found near our apartment in Omaha so hopefully we'll go to Mass Saturday evening or Sunday morning before we drive back.

Later this month we'll be going to Bartlesville which is north of Tulsa to see Shooter Jennings, Charlie Daniels and .38 Special. Although Chad is way more excited about it than me, it should be a great show! After that we'll head down to Germanfest which will be a great weekend of friends, beer (yay?), and good food. After that we'll leave the metroplex and head to Omaha!

Dining Guide of Tulsa: Part 2

Mahogany's Prime Steakhouse

Mahoganys was great! Seriously the best steak I have ever had (except yours Dad, of course). Apparently the secret is searing them at 1000F and only seasoning with salt and pepper. See Dad, we didnt have a 1000F degree grill so it's not your fault. I never really understood the saying that a good steak didnt need BBQ sauce until now. I could only handle a 6oz size at the time but that 6oz was great! We got it "Oscar Style" which means that it has crab meat and asparagus on top. I don't even like mashed potatoes (I know, but I am still southern dangit!)but with the yummy sharp cheddar on top, they were great!!

Sonoma Bistro and Wine Bar

Uh, PERFECT! I had been CRAVING a less filling and more healthy meal and this fit the bill perfectly! First of all the wine and beer selection was AMAZING! Second of all, we sat outside on a perfectly warm relaxing spring Sunday evening. Not least of all the food was delicious. We started out with a cheese plate that had an olive cheese, bacon cheese, and a brie. It was served with dates and french bread slices. For dinner I had a great asian flank steak, I highly recommend it!

Shoguns Japanese Steakhouse

Your traditional Japanese Steakhouse which was great. A little stringent on their reservation procedure. The showmanship of the chef (probably not the right term) was good even if he did screw up the egg-bouncy-trick 3 times... It was a great value and a fun place to go with a crowd
