Stef’s Crazy Life

The (mis)adventures of me. Kids, kin, cars, life, love, pain and the whole damn thing! (any questions?)

Big League City! OKC has an NBA team! July 2, 2008

This evening it was learned that the OKC based owners of the Seattle Super Sonics have gotten the go ahead to move the team here to Oklahoma, and will start playing next season.

Now, what will they be called? Seattle gets to keep the name and the team colors, so the team will start fresh with a new name and new team colors.

Personally, I like the Outlaws or the Roughnecks. But no names have been decided on.

The team will play at the Ford Center, the same place the Hornets played at when they spent two seasons here after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

I can’t wait!

There will be more on this. Watch this space.

That’s all from where I sit.

We’re gonna have a funkin good time… July 2, 2008

I guess you had to be a fly on the wall during my most recent conversation with a friend of mine as to why I think the title of this post is funny.

It’s all in an effort to refrain from using profanity. Can’t swear on the radio, you know. “The Seven Dirty Words…” and all. Not that I’ve done a radio show lately (not since I left Wyoming nearly two years ago), but I will have the opportunity to do so during my studies at UCO. So, I must try to refrain from dropping F-bombs and such.

Perhaps it’s a good thing that animals can’t talk. Oh the secrets they could spill…

That’s all from where I sit.

It’s July already?! July 1, 2008

Where does the time go? Or is it because I’m getting older by the minute (or so it seems)?

Well… today is the “official” birthday of this blog, though I started posting to it while transitioning from my old Blogger blog as early as May of 07.

It’s also Canada Day (I think it’s their version of the 4th of July here in the US).

It’s also my friend Johanna’s birthday!

The year is about half over now…

*sigh*

I went to bed waaaay too late last night, and got up waaaay too early this morning. I may have gotten a grand total of 5 hours of sleep. This was the worst night in a long time.

I think I’ll stop here for now. I’m too tired to think of anything other than food or sleep… and I think that sleep just trumped food.

That’s all from where I sit.

Sad News :( June 30, 2008

My friend Cynthia, who I’ve known since second grade, passed away last night.

As much as I wished that I had had the opportunity to see her before all this happened, I do know that she’s now at peace and no longer in pain. She was only 44 years old. She was a month older than I am.

My deepest condolences go out to her husband, Kevin, and their children.

Sunset at Eagle Lake

Isn’t this a great picture?

It was taken around 8:45pm, just as the sun started to dip behind the trees. The reflection off the calm waters only enhances the overall image, IMHO…

This is now the wallpaper on my phone.

And no greedy geese in sight! LOL

George Carlin on the very first SNL June 28, 2008

It’s on tonight instead of a repeat of the current season.

I was 11 1/2 when this was shown originally. I wasn’t even old enough to stay up that late!

I’ll be watching.

I wonder if you can watch it on NBC.com if you happen to miss it.

Ketchup: the gamut of emotions from A to Z June 26, 2008

There are so many things I want to write about, but I’m not sure how.

Monday, I went up to Mom’s because she wasn’t feeling well. She’d had a dental appointment, and because of other things that have been ailing her, she got pretty ill. She sent Daniel to get me. I think that just by my being there she felt a lot better. I ran a lot of her errands in the three days I was there.

It turns out that Daniel has a girlfriend. And, no, it’s not Cathy (aka “the ungirlfriend”). She’s some girl who worked at the same grocery store Daniel does, and they’ve been seeing each other about a month or so. I haven’t met her yet, but when I do, I’ll be nice, and ask her not to call him so frequently (3-4 times a day during the time I was in Edmond).

I went over to UCO and turned in my lender selection form. Now they know from what bank to get my financial aid money from. I signed up for a new student orientation on August 14th, and entered a drawing to possibly pay for all my textbooks.

I may also have a work study position. I need to call them back and set up an interview.

Before I went to Edmond, Saon contacted me via Yahoo! Mess-up-enger, and told me the following:

  • That he still has feelings for me
  • That his marriage is not what it appears
  • That he wants me to come to New Orleans in September and visit.

There’s no way in hell that will ever happen. First of all, I’m not going to take time off from school to visit him. So he can do the same things he did when I was there 5 years ago? Not happening.

How dare he pull this crap on me! I’m sorry that his marriage is not working out and there is no love for his spouse, but please don’t drag me into it. I have enough stress in my life, thankyouverymuch. I’ll be his friend, but that’s all it can be. School and getting my educational goals met are one of my top priorities at this point in my life.

On a more positive note, Jeff bought new glasses yesterday. We had to go all the way to Penn Square Mall to do it because that’s where Jeff’s prescription was. He forked over a gob of cash for these things, but they look good on him… a little more up to date than the ones he had before.

Daniel’s girlfriend calls ALL. THE. FREAKIN’. TIME! Just thought I’d reiterate that.

Yesterday, while I was waiting for Jeff to get his glasses, I was IM-ing with Larry on my phone via Mess-up-enger, and he sent me this link to a video on YouTube for an interview with some emotionless jerkoff who killed two people for no reason whatsoever. This killer, when asked if he had anything to say to the families of the men he killed, only said “fuck off”. Larry, who I’ve heard using profanity maybe once in the three and some years I’ve known him, called this guy a POS (and that’s how he wrote it in the IM… he didn’t even spell it out. I know what he meant). If you want to look this up, because I’m going to post the link, this event took place in Garland, Texas, and is listed under “hate crime” or something like that. It’s a jail house interview with a local TV station.

And, finally, I got an email today from my friend Cynthia, who lives near Dallas, that one of our friends, also named Cynthia, has cancer and may not have long to live. I’ve sent her family an email, and would like to see her (she lives in the San Diego area), but I can’t really afford to. I’ve known her since the 2nd grade. I’m numb with disbelief. All I can do is pray for a miracle. Lord, you got any miracles to spare for Cynthia?

That’s all from where I sit.

Say it ain’t so… George Carlin dies at 71 June 23, 2008

George Carlin… he of the “seven words you can’t say on television”, irreverant comedy, numerous books (”Brain Droppings” was my favorite), and appearances in everything from Jack Paar to “Cars”… has died of heart failure. He died yesterday after being admitted to the hospital with chest pains.

I guess he found a place for his stuff. Rest in peace…

What were they thinking? And where are the parents? June 22, 2008

In the news this week, there was this incredible story coming out of Massachusetts that 17 fifteen and sixteen year old girls made a “pact” to get pregnant and “raise their kids together”.

What were these girls thinking? That because certain celebrities get pregnant, show off their “baby bumps”, and that’s “cool” in the eyes of these overly impressionable girls?

My question is, where in the hell were the parents when this was all going on?

Speaking as a parent, it is not easy to raise children at any age (and I was 19 when Daniel was born– but I was married  and not in high school at the time). I can’t imagine being 3 or 4 years younger than I was and trying to raise a child.

It’s insanity!

But, it’s not for me to say. I’ve raised my children, albeit with a lot of help. To this day, I’ll never say it was ever a cakewalk.

What were these teenage girls thinking?

I’m glad I don’t have any daughters. Having sons is hard enough.

Where were the parents?

That’s all from where I sit.
