snap crackle pop

I have come to a conclusion.  It is a good thing that I did not try to get into a profession that requires any kind of stealth or sneaking around quietly.  I told Amber this today and she agreed and knew what I was talking about before I finished.  I can not walk without my ankle crackling like rice crispies.  It is not something I can control either.  Amber said if I am in another room, she knows when I am coming into the room she is in because she can hear my ankle crackle.  So there it is, I can never sneak up on anyone again.  I am the surprise party crasher, "Hey what is that popping sound?  Is Joby around here somewhere?"  It is not painful (my ankle, anyway), other than the pain of the repetitive noise.  I realize this is really random, but it is just one of those things that has been rattling around my head lately.  BOOMER SOONER, GO OU-BEAT TEXAS!!!!!!!

Diversification

As you have probably noticed, I have made changes to the blog.  I removed most of the pictures (except the ones that are with the posts), and the music player is gone.  I have created two new blogs.  One is for pictures: http://abbiesdaddyspictures.blogspot.com/ and one is for music:  http://abbiesdaddysmusic.blogspot.com/.  The links to the blogs are also on the right with my other links.  You can click on the picture link to see the slide show from my flickr page or click on the music blog to listen to my playlist.  I just felt the blog was getting crowded.  Let me know what you think.  I am going to try and add new things on the new blogs, but I will probably continue to do the most posting here.

PS. there is a new (short) post on my music blog.

Red River Rivalry

I had planned on finding a picture of some longhorns and posting it upside down for this post, but I thought this picture of Abbie was too cute.  She loves wearing dresses and saying cheese for pictures.  OU-Texas is this weekend and I am really excited this year.  It seems that I have had to work the past couple of years on OU-Texas, but this year I am off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Also, the game could be the biggest of the year.  #1 vs. #5, ESPN College Gameday will be there, and I get to stay home and watch the WHOLE thing!  I am pumped!  I am also ready to watch the OSU-Missouri game.  I am interested to see how both teams handle the pressure of a big game against a great offense.  I think the OU-OSU game at Stillwater could be bigger for us than the Texas game (provided we beat Texas).  But, there are a bunch of games to play before worrying about that.  I also noticed that the Newkirk Tigers are 4-1 and 2-0 in District play.  Maybe the Young's leaving town has brought some success to the lowly Tigers?  Just kidding, guys.  Anyway, I am off today and tomorrow, so I hope to get some pictures and maybe some more posts in.  If not, BOOMER SOONER!!!!
