Snowpacolypse - Part Deux

Well, it snowed again last night. The weather people were calling for 6-12 inches as another massive snowstorm moved in. We only ended up with about 5 inches and it was really dry and light. I could actually shovel it off the patio without killing my back! Jann and I stayed home today. Last week we stayed home for 3 days and then worked on Saturday to make up some work. I'm ready for spring.

Sprung a New Leak

Well, I got to enjoy my new bathroom about 60 days. It has sprung a new leak; this time in the slab. They cut open the area in the closet again to check it out. At least this time I got my clothes out (sorry, Kaitlyn, they are on your bed) of the closet before mold grew on them. Joe and I are so disappointed. This means that they can probably fix it; but because the house is old and the pipes are copper, it will most likely spring another leak on down the line somewhere. We are probably going to have to look into the pipes being put up overhead in the attic. We'll see what the insurance company says to that.

Boredom is setting in....

I saw some little dresses similar to these in a craft mall last weekend. So naturally I thought, I can do that. Anyway, these are little girl dresses made with bandanas and tied with ribbons at the shoulders. They are a little big for Audrey, but I will send them on before summertime. I'd say she probably still won't be able to wear them until maybe the next spring/summer. I know that Heather's mom made Lily some cute little dresses out of pillowcases. Same type of idea.

Snow Day

One of the Texas girls in Kaitlyn's sorority took this picture this morning. Her mother re-posted it on Facebook. I "borrowed" it. We are currently inbetween bands of snow. We have about 7 inches on the ground, it's 8 degrees with wind gusts up to 50 MPH and a -19 degrees wind chill. It's cold. There's blowing snow and drifts everywhere. Pretty much every one was told to shut it down for today. There is nothing left in stores, etc. I think we all learned our lesson from Christmas 2009. None of us had to work today, probably won't be able to get there tomorrow either. They are saying this is the coldest it's been here in Oklahoma since 1996.

Zumba and other things

I finally got my own computer back. Michael was a sweetheart and cleaned it up for me so now I can get back to blogging, etc. Here were the little dresses I sent to Crystal to use for a mobile or wall hanging or whatever she wanted to in Audrey's nursery.

I went to the Burn The Floor play at the OKC Civic Center and enjoyed it immensely. It was almost all Latin dancing. Loved it!

I've been to 2 zumba-thons over the last 2 weeks. They are fundraisers for good causes. The sessions are usually 2 hours long. I last anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hr 15 mins before I tire out. This is a picture of the first one, held at a mall in one of the empty large spaces. I was at the front of the room, but took the picture from the back as I was leaving. You can barely see the instructors on the stage.

This past weekend, I was 2nd in line to get in. I like to get on the front row. These ladies were around me and so we all took our pictures together.


I enjoy Zumba very much and would go every day if there was a class time convenient for me. I don't like to go much past 6:30 or so. It does tend to wear me out. I've even tried jogging a little bit at the YMCA and in our neighborhood. But now I have shin splints from running on the concrete so I think I'll lay off that for awhile.

Kaitlyn's Application Picture

Michael took this picture of Kaitlyn for her to use with her application to the School of Dental Hygiene at the OU Health Sciences Center. Michael's a good photographer, don't you think?

Fancy Cakes, Etc.

Haven't been doing much since the new year started. This past week, Jann and I got an idea from another agent and had a picture made with a cake so we could make custom Birthday Cards for her clients. One of the cake stores in town (Fancy Cakes, Etc.) let us come in and take a picture with one of their "fake" cakes. We bought some balloons and party horns to use as props. Anyway, I think this is the picture we're using for our birthday cards this year.

Today, I'm going to Oklahoma City to see the stage version of "Burn the Floor." It's a Latin/ballroom dance production. It's like So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With The Stars combined with no judges. I can't wait. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't start snowing/sleeting until I get back home.
