The ramblings of women from Idabel Oklahoma.
We got a Black African American, a native American Indian, A white trash redneck and a damn republican. This blog is an equal opportunity blog. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, veteran status, or the fact your a damn republican.
OMG!! OMG!! Someone nominated this blog and people have actually voted for it! Blogger's Choice Awards is like the friggin' big time people!
But there's no way in hell we'll win this one. First off, we're up against PostSecret ..it's already got 231 votes, and it's like the greatest thing ever. And second, we simply don't have enough weed available in Idabel right now to get all y'all high enough to vote for us.
Don't forget to vote the Okie Blog Awards! We sent ours in today. Not saying who we voted for..but if you win by four votes you can thank us later. The one rule we had was.. we would not vote for any blog that did not recognize the Okie Blog Awards. If you don't recognize it on your blog, you don't need to win it for your blog. Good luck to everyone and may the best blogs (that recognized the Okie Awards) win.
It's my turn to post something today.. but I've already used my brain once this week. So I figured since the 2008 Okie Blog Awards are based on your 2008 post..I'd just re-post some of our 2008 hits. Well, they may not exactly be hits.. but they got the most hit numbers by them in that stats thing.
This is one of our favorites...cause we've done this once....or twice...OK! We've done this a lot. When my daughter was 3 months old, I buckled her into the car seat, but forgot to seat-belt the seat to the car. At a stop-light, I heard a "thump". She was face down in the foot well of the back seat, still strapped in. I panicked and pulled over. When I picked her up, she wasn't even crying. She just looked a little confused. --Anonymous
Just call us bad mommas... cause we're gonna try this one. My boys absolutely LOVE broccoli. I got them to eat it by telling them it will make them fart! --Sarah in Ca
Still laughin' at this one. When my daughter was about 1 or so, I was changing her diaper. It was a Sunday. I swear she had a worm. I pulled one out of her bottom when I was wiping her. It was like 4 inches long. I called the doctor. We all got wormed. Her doctor wanted to see her on Monday and bring the worm with us. I walked in, (my MIL had already taken her and I met them from work)they both started laughing at me...My MIL had forgotten to tell me that they ate Chinese and Mandy LOVES SPROUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a bean sprout!!!HAHAHAHAHA.....We all got wormed...for nothing. --Anonymous
Other bloggers..like say..those up against a certain woman.
Or maybe a bloggerthat really really wants to win.
Or maybe a bloggerthat has been nominated for two catagories and only really needs to win one..you know, like maybe.. the Best Political and not the Best Commentary.
Or maybe a bloggerthat would never make other bloggersfeel guilty for not voting for her.
Or a blog(thatwenominated) that also has four votes that they could use to help other bloggers.
Last time the Iceman cometh we lost power for 13 days. So if you don't hear from us for awhile.. we're either iced in or in jail. Either way.. we won't be bloggin'.
Here are some things to keep you busy till we thaw out.. or get bailed out.
Collinskid We love this blog book. It's just getting started but we're already hooked on the story.
Life's Moments has some interesting facts posted - like there are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball....which is funny cause that's the same amount of dimples we got on our butts. And did you know the average person falls asleep in seven minutes....3 seconds if it's your husband right after s-e-x.
And Tu Tu's got her two cent's going on.. and a GIVE AWAY! We have no idea why we send people her way. The damn woman has 94 followers!.. 94! When we first read her blog she had 6!.. 6! We like to think we made her what she is today. That's why we don't even have 20 followers..we were too damn busy helping Tu Tu get 94 followers!.. at least it makes us feel better to think that's the reason WE don't have 94 followers. BUT we was nominated for a Okie Blog Award!
We seem to always end up in the 'Commentary Blog Category' in magazines, links, and nominations. So I'm gonna commentary on this American Idol Mark Mudd thing.
This guy, Mark Mudd, from Coxs Creek Kentucky, was on American Idol last night.
You knew as soon as you saw him.. not gonna make it.
But he tried.. and he wasn't bad.
As the guy was leaving, he said.. 'Take care and be careful'.
And Paula said: BeCareful?
Mark: Yea, be careful in whatever you do.
Paula: What?
Mark: I'm just saying be careful in whatever you do.
Simon: That was a threat.
Paula: And that's a threat.
Mark: No, I'm just saying just be careful you know in whatever
Paula: You don't say that to people. You don't say that to people be careful. That's just not, that's just not a normal thing to say.
What! Is she serious? You don't say that to people! That's not a normal thing to say!
And Simon! Is he serious? That's a threat! Saying be careful is a threat!
I could understand if the guy had said 'You better take care and be careful when you leave here cause I'm gonna kick your ass!'
But the poor guy simple said 'Take care and be careful'
Dear Best Commentary Blog Nominees, Take Care and Be Careful in whatever you do. Love, The Idabel Girls
Bounded Rationality - Jeff Shaw - I have lived in Tulsa nearly all my life. I spent the the 80's in New Mexico and Indiana. I love to read scientific studies, and economic papers (I don't know why). My favorite thing to do is to learn new things and play musical instruments. I am also fascinated with other cultures. I am a devoted family man, and believe that the family is the cornerstone of society. Scientific studies, economic papers, good grammar and spellin', he writes real good....there goes the vote from all the smart people.
Brit Gal' in the USA - Sarah - British expat' who turned her life on its head when she fell for an Okie (the Hubster) in an online backgammon room!
