walk on water

i was always taught that birds fly south for the winter. these guys didn't get that memo.

it can't be happening.

seriously you guys. this is not good. not good at all. it is a moment we all fear and dread. i think i may have been attacked by the ....

MOM JEANS!

they're not really this bad, but bad enough. the other day i went to old navy because i have been desperate for some jeans, specifically skinny jeans, to wear with boots. well...this was a really fast trip since i was in shawnee and had to get back to meeker for lunch (yes, i had high school cafeteria food) and my next class. now, i know old navy isn't super quality or anything, but i just can't spend a significant amount of money on jeans at the moment, even though i think it is totally worth it. and really, the jeans i wear to work don't have to be awesome. i mean, i work in a hole where i really don't think people are paying attention to attire. seriously.

this is my question.....what are some good-fitting (for someone who doesn't have a victoria's secret model body. i know, crazy right?!), relatively inexpensive jeans, all styles? i would love to do the online/cheaper shopping, but with jeans i really need try on!! ugh. drear.

on a happier note, joe is home!!! YEA!! he arrived this morning as i was getting ready for work and lola and dozer were about to pee themselves they were so happy!! i was pretty happy too.

it's a cold one people

driving to cousin ruby's for the day

well i think winter has finally and officially arrived. not completely sure how i feel about it, but i think it can be nice in small doses. the bitter cold doesn't bother me so much, it's the bitter cold PLUS oklahoma wind. ridiculous. my theory... if it's going to be cold, SNOW dammit!

however, snow, or the tease of it, is on my list right now. yesterday joe was supposed to come home for a week long class. once his class was done we were going to hit the road to colorado for a wedding. apparently the company thought it was too dangerous to drive so they put a ban on travel. i think all i said when i got that text was "seriously?". seemed a bit overzealous for me, but oh well. i guess i can respect that they're watching out for their employees, but i would respect it a LOT more if it wasn't so over the top! hopefully though the travel ban will be lifted soon and the class can start as planned (after the "big snow") on thursday.

yesterday was tough though. i knew going into this that he would be gone, and i haven't been too shabby at handling that if i say so myself! but having the company basically control ~~his~~ our life is hard to adjust to. making plans is pretty much impossible, and even if we do, we have to be prepared to be let down. this is something i am obviously going to have to work on. i'm going to have to become a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type of girl! i can handle that. as long as i can bitch while flying!

i don't know, but it screams slutty Dorothy from wizard of oz to me!!
