A little too human

Kuddles eats what we eat. Sure I give her dry dog food that she eats but when we sit down to eat anything a meal, a snack, some fro yo Kuddles knows she'll get some too.

Everyone feeds her. She's cute when she begs for food and she's too small to be annoying about it so I even see guest dropping food on the floor for her.

She'll eat just about anything if she thinks you dropped it on accident it's all the better because she thinks she's not supposed to have it and I've watched her eat chunks of onion, all that to say she isn't all that picky.

Last night I made some microwave popcorn (which is very unusual because if I eat popcorn it's only when Garrett makes it with kernels on the stove top) Kuddles was sitting on the couch with me waiting for her share of the loot so I gave her a piece. She didn't eat it right away which isn't out of the ordinary (sometimes she holds out to see if she can get something better).

After a few minutes I saw out of the corner of my eye my little spoiled dog use her paw to push that piece of popcorn on to the floor. It was so sly and quick like a child trying to feed their vegetables to the dog. I said to her you did not just do that...and then she slowly peeked over the edge of the couch looked at the popcorn and then looked back at me.

She's such a brat.

Let's answer some questions...

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is?

It's a light brown/dark blonde color...it's not a really pretty color but that can easily be fixed (it's not a very good color right now either..oh HELLO roots)

2. Do you plan ahead for summer, or fly by the seat of your pants?

It's been awhile since I've had a summer. This year I'm taking classes on top of working that's a double whammy. Either way I'm more of sketcher...I like to sketch out some ideas and then see how it all plays out.

3. What is your favorite meal to cook?

I love to cook anything that people tell me is awesome, the more praises I get the more I like to cook it. :)

4. Do you get offended by not receiving thank yous?

No. But, I get excited when I get them!!

5. How did you meet your best friend?

I met Garrett when he locked his keys in his car. He was friends with my roommate and she knew I had AAA so she brought him up to my dorm room, he was kinda cute so I called to get his keys free! :) 

Spring Break!!!

I’m officially on Spring Break!

I had an accounting test today (I cannot wait a week and a half for my grade ugh) and I have another test the day we get back from spring break. I think I can handle that.

Unfortunately I won’t be heading anywhere fun (or warm) I’ll just be working.

No complaining here though I’m going to enjoy going straight home after work instead of to school!

Campus beautiful by day and night…

Baseball season is in full swing and I’m happy to say that my Sooners are 14-0 the only undefeated team left!

We’ve been able to make it to two games, and I’m so excited for this season! And hopefully another trip to Nebraska!!

 

After last weekend’s game we decided to walk up to campus corner for some burgers. It’s quite a trek about 3.5 miles round trip. I love campus and I’m always up for any excuse to be there soaking it up.

We took a break on the bench by one of the dorms on our way to campus corner (see the stadium peaking out *love*) and plotted ways to get back to freshman year of college. Oh the freedom and lack of responsibility, how I miss thee!

I have spring break next week, and while I’m sad I won’t be enjoying it like I did as an undergrad since I still have to work every day. But, I’ll be enjoying heading straight home every night next week instead of heading to school.

Five question Friday

1. Can you drive a stick shift?

I can! Garrett drives a stick and had to give me a refresher course so I could drive his car, when he got his new car I was hoping he'd go automatic...but he didn't...

I much better at it when I'm driving alone, I get so nervous with someone else in the car!

2. What are two foods you just can't eat?

Shrimp - and if you give me a hard time about it I'll start talking about how you might as well be eating a cockroach with every hope that it ruins your dining experience. I.hate.shrimp!

Coconut - there are no words for the disgustingness that is the food you just keep chewing.  

3. Do you buy Girl Scout Cookies? What is your favorite kind?

I'm avoiding those girls like the plague this year! I love me some Thinmints and Do-si-dos!

This year I did buy some Samoas from Olivia. I won't touch them with a ten foot pole because of the coconut but they are G's favorite! It seemed like a win-win supporting O and avoiding calories for me!

4. How do you pamper yourself?

I love manicures (way better than pedicures) and I get one or both of those occasionally. I think getting my hair done takes waaaay too long so that's not very much pampering as much as please hurry up and get this done. I've had a massage or two but nothing life changing. I'm actually not very good at relaxing or being pampered...

5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?

I've always wanted a nickname, I think it's such a fun idea, but I never really had one. In high school a friend of mine and I decided I should go by Skillet (I have no idea why!) but it didn't really stick.

When Garrett and I were dating in college I decided we should have nicknames for each other and came up with Pookie and Snookums (maybe). Pookie stuck around and Garrett still calls me some form of Pookie (it's okay you can gag) right now it's Pookstah. We are both always changing it up one of my favorites is Pookaburra as in Pookaburra sits in the old gum tree...

A few friends call me Shlee or Shleebee.

Have a great weekend!!

There has been a bug flying around my office all week.

Monday - I tried to swat him when he came near me. He stopped coming close. I thought he was gone.

Tuesday - He was still keeping his distance and wasn't much of a bother. I guess he remembered the swatting.

Wednesday - He landed on my jeans and he was so small and kind of cute I felt bad for him and thought he was probably hungry and thirsty. I tried to stand up and walk outside with him. He got scared and got away from me. I told him not to be scared I didn't want to squish him I just wanted him to be able to find some food.

Today - he's flying all around me and I keep trying to get him to land on some kind of paper or something so I can take him outside. He's having none of it but he's being very brave and flying in front of my computer screen every once in a while. So I know he's still here?

I really don't like bugs. I rather they stay outside and away from me. I can't help but feel sorry for them when they are out of their element (except flies, I hate all flies and their evil little hands rubbing together like they are plotting). I start thinking about their little bug families. It's ridiculous how much time I've spent in the last two days devising a plan to get him outside.

He kind of looks like this. 

Only he is very, very small.

I wonder if he's a baby?

I think I'll call him Lawrence.

Remember the spider? I think about him sometimes.

There is only one OKLAHOMA!

Kelly over at Kelly's Korner Blog is hosting show us your Alma Maters and if you've been around here very long you know that I love mine!

I moved from Florida to attend the University of Oklahoma and even though most people thought I was crazy...

So, I left my beautiful coastal state for a landlocked one with winters. Sometimes in March when it's still cold here and my friends that stayed in Florida are enjoying the beach I occasionally have a fleeting moment of thinking I am crazy. In the end I am pretty sure it is the football that won me over!

 

The tradition, the passion, (the winning!) I love it all!

I think our campus is one of the prettiest there is (and I've been to a lot of campuses)! I love that in the Student Union the walls are lined with framed photographs of past and current students, it really gives it that family feel that President Boren was going for.While athletics (football) is a huge part of the University, they really strive to make sure that academics are equally as important (I should know I had 9 majors all in different departments)

Every year I travel to a few away games, this year I went to my first ever bowl game (and I guess I was the lucky charm they needed because we won!) 

Last summer we even got the chance to head up to Omaha for the College World Series! 

(don't worry we ended up winning this game!)

 The experiences I've had and the people I've met from OU are amazing, so on those cold winter days with no ocean in sight I know that I made the right decision when I decided to come to The University of Oklahoma!
