Adulthood is expensive.

As the years pass by me, I am giving more and more of my (husband's) money to less fun things. In the last two months, we've purchased a lawnmower, a front-loading washer and dryer set, life insurance and couches.

What happened to the days of $350 rent? I remember very recently my money went to buy sexy clothes for parties, burgers from Wendy's and $2 movies at the Astro.

I've got to find a way to balance the necessary adult purchases with fun adult purchases. Hanging out at Lowe's and department stores is just not my thing, man.

Improvisation.

Improv is important.
Plans don't go according to plan.

Improv in Oklahoma

This weekend, Red Letters will be rocking out the 8:45 Friday night slot at the Second Annual Improv Festival Oklahoma!

We'll perform The Punch, meet hilarious people who live in Oklahoma, see friends from Chicago, Boston and Atlanta and get to train with improv superstars like Joe Bill and Susan Messing.

It's gonna be OK great!

Although my life, car and renter's insurance is with State Farm, I freaking love this commercial.

It's 105 degrees everyday.
I've hired thirty students for the fall semester.
There's been no tornadoes. Yet.
Our air conditioning broke for three days; it was sticky.
Bryan is the city professor everyone keeps talking about.
Farmer Johnny knows me by face.
We have a "usual" at the Italian restaurant beside our house.
Every time we hit WalMart, we run into somebody we know.
I'm pregnant. Just kidding, but we thought about it.

This world we live in.

I have seen flowers come in stony places/ And kind things done by men with ugly faces/ And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,/ So I trust too.

Lady Quotes from a Lady Friend

I think junking up your fridge is what makes a house a home.
Jennifer Bell Moxley

We are home.

"Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule."
-- Frederick W. Robertson
