Sadly, Tulsa’s only remaining drive-in, Admiral Twin, burned down earlier today.  The drive-in became famous after appearing in Coppola’s Oklahoma-filmed movie “The Outsiders,” based on the S. E. Hinton book. But it’s particularly sad for me because I have fond personal memories of the theater, including one of the first dates my husband and I [...]

The family spent another awesome day at the rink!  I think roller skating is my new hobby.  And even though the photo is fuzzy from the movement and the fact that it was taken from my iPhone, I still like it.

I celebrated a birthday on the first and truly had a monumental weekend.  First my husband, daughter, and I went roller skating (for the 2nd weekend in a row) and I re-discovered how magical it was! There’s something beautiful and wonderful about the speed of bike riding and now I believe the same has to [...]

Since focusing is not my forte (and yes I realize that’s exactly why I should focus more), I have decided to nip The Psychokinesis Project in the bud and do something more productive with that topic (as well as the topic of media invasion) than an experiment, and so I’ve decided to….

As of yesterday, I have decided to attempt achieving one of my childhood dreams of being like those kids from Escape to Witch Mountain and spend 5 minutes a day trying to move the pen on my desk through telekinesis.  All kidding aside though (okay, maybe I did have the occasional fantasy of being like [...]

Since I have so much to be thankful for, and since it is Thanksgiving, I wanted to do a stream-of-consciousness post on 101 things I’m thankful for.  I thought about ordering them at first, but that just didn’t seem right somehow. 1. Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha; my sweetest of sweets daughter.  I’ve been ‘in [...]

Last week I started a new regime that involves playing more piano and implementing a healthier lifestyle… well I did work up my Bach and Debussy (though the Debussy has a little more work to go) but I only got half-way through my Hanon – I just got blocked when I got to the scales!  [...]

I love making grand plans – and small plans – and everything in between – call it an addiction. Of course following through is the hard part… what I’ve been doing is creating grandiose plans and then if I get a little bit of it done, I’ve accomplished a lot. I know setting realistic plans [...]
