"I need a hero...I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night..."

The season premiere of "Heroes" was last night and it was AWESOME!!!! *L* Poor Hiro...always a strange place at a strange time. And what is up with Nathan's beard?? If he's trying to hide I'd say he was doing a pretty good job of it! *L* And WHAT is up with Peter?? Toto-ly confused there. I'm glad Claire's father finally stood up for himself with that nerdy little manager of his - that was excellent. I miss Jessica/Nikki and Micah and his father though...can't wait to see what's going on with them. I do hope they teach the girl from Honduras some English soon...subtitles can be very distracting. And what in the world is the little "tracker/finder" girl seeing in her dreams?? Looks like it could be quite gruesome and evil. And who killed off Mr. Sulu???? Nathan and Peter's mother better watch her back but good!

"Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be larger than life..."

I love that song! *LOL*

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

"Happy birthday dear Suesuuuuuuuuue...happy birthday to you!!!!" And MANY mooooooooooooooooooooooooore!!!! *LOL* Hope you have a GREAT day!! Lots of loves and hugs and SNOOTCHIES!!!!!! *G*

And one more...*ahem*..."Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Snoooook....don't let Nell be mean to you!!" *LOL* Happy Birthday Diddy! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Your cards are in the mail...for real!! *L*

"Plop, plop, fizz, fizz..."

Drip, drip, cough, cough. I hab a code. *L* Yep, I caught my yearly cold...which has turned into my yearly bout of bronchitis...so I'm on my yearly course of antibiotics and taking my yearly doses of cough syrup from the doctor (actually the PA) which makes me a little loopy and a lot drowsy..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....just kidding! *LOL* Only kidding about the falling asleep part though, not about the cold and the meds. I really hate summer colds, they just plain make you miserable. At least my nose has stopped draining down the back of my throat so my throat no longer feels raw and firey. This is a VERY good thing! The drive into work (a whole 10-15 minutes worth) wore me out so I came back home and went to the clinic. After seeing Nikki (one of our PAs - don't tell her but I actually prefer Charity) and a trip to Wally World for the meds, I spent the rest of the day resting and killing things on Gauntlet. I'm a Falconess and my level is in the high 70's so she kills everything fairly easily now. The Bosses are still challenging though. Anyways, I've recovered 8 of the 10 shards so I can enter the Desecrated Temple and battle the False Skorne. I had enough of that for one day so I decided to save the rest for another time. *L* I think I'm going to go lay down for a little while before dinner. By the way, it was really hard to think of some sort of tune that had to do with having a cold! *ROTFLOL* I hope everyone appreciates my effort to remain true to my blog title.

"Oh say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave..."

You're darned right it does!!!!!






We'll never forget.....



God Bless America!! And may God Bless the men and women fighting in her service!!

"Mamas, don't let your babies....."

"...grow up to be Sooners!!!" *LOL* Well, I'm batting 1000 here. First the Mustangs go down in flames, then the Cowboys fall off their horses. Yes, yes...Georgia whupped the Pokes 35-14. *sigh* I still say "GO POKES"!!!! *G*

I'm watching our new angelfish at the moment. Yep...got 2 new angels! They're both white with a touch of "goth" - they have a fine edging of black on their dorsal (back) fins and tail fins and they both have a black stripe through each eye. Pretty cool looking actually. Their names are Daemon and Lucivar - it just didn't seem fitting for true Angel names like Gabriel and Michael had, since they aren't pure white, and we didn't want true "Devil" names like the two short-lived black angels that we had before. We settled on ones in the middle from "The Black Jewels Trilogy" by Anne Bishop. I said that if you could tell females from males in angelfish I would get a pure black female and name her Janelle from the same book. *LOL* They have acclimated very well and seem to be getting along just fine with the other fishies. Daemon has longer whiskers than Lucivar, just like Mike and Gabe when they were small. Not sure if they'll get as big but they're very pretty when they do. Now all I need are two red velvet swords and the aquarium will be complete again.

"Are you ready for some football........"

The high school/college football season has arrived in Oklahoma!

"On your feet for P - H - S we're out.....to......WIN! Fight! Fight!"

Actually the Pioneer season began on Thursday night and it wasn't exactly monumental. We played Community Christian and lost 10 to 8. According to Eric (still too hot out for me so I stayed home), our defense isn't too bad but our offense stinks up the joint. *L* I'll probably go to next week's game and see for myself. Considering that next year we move to 11-man and go up to Class A, I think the years of a state championship for Pioneer are long gone. *sigh* I guess we'll see.

Oklahoma State University starts it's season today against the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. As I write this they should be starting in about 15 minutes or so. Got to root for the Cowboys and answer the question, "How Orange are YOU??" *G*

(Cowboys a-riding, lassoes a-flying, under the western sky.
And as they ride, we rise to sing, and shout our battle cry!)
Ride, ride, ride, ride,
Ride 'am Cowboys, right down the field;
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight 'em Cowboys, and never yield.
Ride, ride, ride, ride,
Ride on Cowboys, to victory;
Cross (opponent)'s goal;
Then we'll sing 'O-kla-homa State!'

GO POKES!!!!!!!!!
