Best Friend Day

Today, after I woke up from what I can oy describe as a day long intermittent nap, Heather came over and we caught up on DVR shows. Dinner was held at Johnny Carinos, because we both needed to indulge ourselves in carbohydrates. We proceded to Market Street for Cupcakes, and, in true best friend fashion, we couldn't decide on a single flavor of cupcake, so we got two boxes. After So You Think You Can Dance, we made it to the media room for movies. It was a perfect best friend night. Full of laughs, random moments of breaking into song, and hoodies. I'll leave you with pictures that I feel will depict the night well:-)

Cupcake toast!


Hoodie!

Heather with her eager face and cherry coke zero in the media room. Take notice of the Luke Skywalker in the corner. He's with us.

a picture is worth a thousand words

but what if you only had one? ok...some of them aren't ACTUAL words...YET. just you wait. this was probably one of the most fun blogs i've ever compiled. 

if you ever go to WinStar...you should try....

1. ...going with your awesome mom who will get you out of bed at 5 am to hit the slots. The WinStar Hotel was attached to the Casino, which we did not realize until the second day at breakfast. It was pretty much downhill from there.


2. ...wearing sunglasses the size of your entire face. It really blocks out the sun..and the hangover from too many rum and diet cokes from a VERY friendly bartender. Her name was Sheri, and she liked me because I tipped her well. She tipped me too...with rum.


3. ...going to the Cloverleaf in Ardmore, OK. Probably one of the coolest(and most outrageously expensive) places I have ever been. They have antiques that have been made new and trendy. One of those places you go and think to yourself "I could totally make that." But deep down, you know you can't. It takes somebody pretty whacked out to put a naked statue next to a pink wheelbarrow and a old headboard with letters attached to it. Or to string pearls along a chain link fence with an old sign and some freaky doll heads and make it look interesting. Yeah. I'm not that creative.






4. ...taking pictures out in front of all the "landmarks" outside the casino. It really made Mom and me feel like we were on a serious vacation. We saw Big Ben, the Coliseum, the Eiffel Tower, all 2 miles away from the Thackerville truck stop.



5. ...the Hamburger Inn, also in Ardmore, OK. They have pie that will change your life. Its a tiny hamburger place with ONE bar. No other seating. We waited until well after lunchtime to go, because we had heard that there would be a line out the door.






6. ...following a caravan about 2 miles long of OU football buses and OU football fans crossing the OK border. Thank God we weren't trying to go home that day. They all drove like maniacs, and my mom nearly had a nervous breakdown. We were about to find out if some of them really did bleed CRIMSON.



7. ...one of the many flavors of "fried pie" at the ORIGINAL "Fried Pie Co." in Gainesville, TX. It is actually a restaurant. You can have an entire meal of fried pies. They have some with meat and cheese, some with potato, and of course, the standby: coconut.



8. ...getting a DQ Blizzard on your way out of town. They don't have them around us anymore, so we had to.
