Now that I’ve actually created a personal blog, I find myself thinking up things to post all the time, then debating with myself over whether or not I should post them here.
First, even though this is a personal blog, I tend to refrain from posting personal thoughts and tend to only post things that I think [...]

Ok, as I mentioned in my last post, I’m planning on blogging on my family tree. I was all ready to do that right here until I thought about how I would really need to categorize each family line separately. And I don’t know that I want this blog to have all of those family [...]

I’ve decided that since this blog is all about me and my life, it would be the best place to post all of the genealogy information that I’ve gathered.
In the past few weeks I’ve visited relatives and gathered a wealth of photos and information about my family (and I still have more people to contact [...]

I’d been planning to make some changes this week anyway and was falling behind, so really, [...]
if you’ll believe in anything.
I took a rare week night out with my sis and her husband to go see Wolf Parade at The Marquee in Tulsa tonight - it was the best show I’ve seen in years.
First we stumbled out of the T-storms & tornadoes into “Lola’s,” a dia de los muertos themed tapas bar [...]
It felt like my family and I spent the whole of October celebrating Halloween; or at least celebrating the cool weather and the orange backdrop of fall, as well as out-of-town family & friends coming and going.
Our family loves fall anyway and we always get an early start on the festivities… this year it started [...]
Well - I may not have produced the world’s greatest modern mosaics, but I did end up with three little pieces of color and awkwardness that I like enough to display in my decor. Plus going to art class was really a nice segway from the office.
So here’s what I made - three tree-themed smalti [...]
The OKC Art Museum is just wrapping up their Roman Art from the Louvre exhibition and my family and I made sure we cought it while it was in town. While we found this to be interesting, what we all really enjoyed were the modern art collections that the museum houses, especially the Dale Chihuly blown glass [...]
