One day recently Seth and I spent most of an afternoon listening to different radio stations on XM radio discussing genres of music, who we liked and what we didn't, ended up plugging in his ipod and listening to his list with him telling me who each one was. We both decided that John Mayer is probably our favorite.
I am reading short stories by Barbara Kingsolver and wishing that the Allen Public Library had a better selection ... there are so, so many books I would like to read. Mostly they have trash romance... Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele, that sort of author.
I can't even remember the last movie I watched that I actually liked. True Grit was meh, I sent Burlesque back without ever watching it, I want to go see Harry Potter but am waiting for the crowd to thin.
I'm planning a birthday party for Levi at the Ballroom on a night they will be working which is fun.. at least the planning part is fun. I'm a little uncomfortable with having the party there (I feel out of my element there) but it is what he wanted.
Our next weekend trip won't be until the end of August for Seth's birthday. This will be FUN. I've read that it is good for my aging brain to do new things.. well, this is new. I've never been to a casino. I've never played a slot machine. I've never gambled at all. We have never stayed at this motel. All new fun.
When we headed to Tulsa, I told Mark that my objective was not to eat anywhere we had ever eaten before. We hunted out a couple of out of the way, little hole-in-the-wall diners. Lucky us, we picked out winners!!
Hopefully for our September birthdays we can go spend a night in Brick Town (OKC).
But, we'll have to wait and see how the finances are then.
I loved seeing Cheri's photos of their recent trip to Mt. Rainer. What have the rest of you been up to?

If you've never eatin at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill....make sure you do. It's a little pricey, but food is awesome!
we were planning on trying it, I've heard it is really good
I think it's awesome just hanging with your son and doing random things. I'm trying like mad to remember a restaurant in OKC that would be appealing, but it's just been too long.
However, for a taste of the "Real El Reno" you have to go to Johnny's Grill. It's a little hole in the wall place that has been around since the 40's. My mother ate lunches there when she was in high school. They make a mean grilled onion cheeseburger. Just good old greasy spoon grub.
Craig and I are going to place this weekend called Mike's Beach for our anniversary. We're going to kayak, hangout, and enjoy not being at home for a couple of days.
school..school..and even more school. I want to get away but we have no time. Soon we will have time. :)
