That's the caption to the photo Eric's dad took at the airport this morning and sent me after I dropped him off (at the ripe hour of 6:30 am)! hahahaha! I seriously couldn't stop laughing cause I can see his dad "smile" then "Okay, I'm sending this to Jackie.." and Eric going "Wha?" lol!!!!
He left for Whistler, Canada this am with the parentals. Fast fact: Did you know that's where the 2010 Olympics are being held? Kinda fun... I will miss him tons this week, but if he has to be gone, this is the week-I'm traveling for a meeting and it's my last week before the UW!!!!!!
Anyway, this postcard app is one more reason I want an iphone. Since E's in Canada, we thought we'd kind use twitter more than ($$$) texting this week-direct messages and stuff... til my phone stopped connecting to the internet. Oh Palm Centro, how I loathe you. Actually, I like you when you work...but three phones and only a year of use is about to make me hurl you against the wall. Golly gee, I'm so glad I signed a new contract to get you. *muttering expletives* So.. I'm braving the Sprint Store in about 20 minutes or so and when they utter the words "hard reset" or "charge you to fix this," I'm planning to respond "Who do I talk to to cancel my contract?" and I will be serious. We'll see.. I always laugh b/c C*x Cable gives Eric sooo many better deals b/c he's tried to cancel. Granted, he was serious. He's got like free HBO and tonsa other stuff for the same thing I pay. Arg. I called and tried the same thing...and they were like "well, we understand if you need to cancel..." WHAT?! NO! So, I folded of course. I love my dvr too much. But, this time, no bluffing allowed! Hmph!
So, my vp's asst accidentally sent the wrong thing to the wrong state.. (aka she reversed info for two states). If I get one more email asking me about it from a recipient of said incorrect email, I may or may not flip.my.sh*t. *fake smile* Mind you, she's really good and I like her lots, but I think she was having a bad day yesterday...as we all have.. and got going too fast.. as we all have. *sigh*
Would you like to know something that drives me bananas? Cars that turn on their turn indicator (people make fun of me for calling it that instead of "blinker" but I dont care), and move halfway into the turn lane thereby remaining halfway in your lane. GET.IN.THE.TURN.LANE. Are you that confused or are you just trying to make me lose it? My mom's been out of town part of this week which translates to a morning trip to her house to let her pup out and feed him. I don't mind...especially with as much as she watches G dawg, but that means my normal highway-only commute is riddled with more in-town traffic to get to her casa. My a-type behavior comes out when driving...a lot. Mind you, I'm not a crazy-cursing-middle-finger-raising freakshow.. no no.. I just go when it's green..and get in the appropriate lanes... and if you dont, you're stupid (haha.. oh so tolerant..that's me).
This morning, I woke up and thought "YAY! I have a hair appt today!" so I put on a cute dress to feel nice and sassy and headed out the door...This dress is a cotton button down dress thing with a belt. Okay...what I never realized was the buttons UNDO themselves with walking! Crap!! I was walking into the building and if someone would have been looking, my black boy shorts would have been on full display at one point!! Agh!!!!!!!! My stance became like one of those "I'm naked in front of everyone" dreams...haha... frozen, in the middle of the lot, fixing my dress. So, now I'm compulsively watching my crotch when I walk through the office. It's quite classy, I'm sure... *nervous*
Welp, this is a few minutes of your life you'll never get back so I'll wrap this up... Hope you guys have a lovely weekend! Eric leaves for Canada tomorrow with some of his fam. Yes, that's right. He went to St. Lucia with me and is heading to Canada with his parentals. This guy gets NO pity in the vacay department. :) I've been trying to text him Canadian things to get him used to Canadians. I think I'm funny. Jury's still out on whether he agrees.. hahaha.. Other than waving a sleepy goodbye at the airport, I will be having some girly time, hitting up a bday party and likely working a little since I leave for the UW in just over a week!!!!! Happy Friday, peeps!
I saw this on Then I Got To Thinking and thought it was so cute!! So, I wasn't tagged, but I wanted to do it anyway. :) Here are the rules.
* Open my first photo folder
* Scroll down to the 10th photo
* Post that photo and story on my blog
* Tag five friends to do the same
This picture tells the story of my very last law school formal, called Barristers Ball...which we lovingly called "law prom"- 2006. :) This was actually my FIRST law school formal, too and I ended up somewhat chairing it! Wha? Right. Well...the first year, the guy I was dating was out of town and I didn't wanna go alone. The second year, I think I was sick... Anyway, this wasn't that long ago, but it looks so old..the dresses, etc..
I have NO idea what I'm actually saying, but this is so descriptive of Jackie b/c I know I was trying to corral people to take a group photo of the girls. That's so me, if you don't know me that well. I'll interrupt whatever is going on, make announcements, whatever it takes..to get a group photo of friends! haha! Server, please put down your tray and take our photo b/c it's my friend's bday, bachelorette, shower, etc.... I love the pics so don't plan to stop harassing whoever is near to take a group photo...or two.. ya know...if it doesnt come out right. ;)
And the one right after this one is HILARIOUS b/c my other friend, Mandy, is just like me in the group photo department.. She's in blue trying to corral everyone. You can see how well it's working... I appear to be...dancing? I have no idea. haha...
So, now I tag people... umm... I tag anyone reading who wants to do it!! :) I know not everyone has access to their photos if you're at work on Friday, so if you do, give it a shot! :) Happy Friday!!
Had a great dinner tonight with Timberly and Eric at Sonoma! YYYYUUUMMM!!! I had NO idea they have wine flights there. NO. IDEA. Even after Eric and Timberly ordered them. I wasn't listening-obviously. But, hello fun stuff!! Three glasses vs. one...I'm in! LOL! The only awkward part was when my old law prof came up and started directly asking about what my ex boyfriend was doing these days. *nervous* hahaha... We also got to stalk a couple on an obvious blind date... And may have been on the verge of creepy with our table texts to each other about them.. but whatever... haha..
And uh.. I realize I like reality tv too much, but what the HELL is up with Kourtney K being prego?! With SCOTT'S KID?! *sigh* What is this world coming to? Scott sucks. Ugh. Blah.
I am thankful for "old school lunch" on 92.1 that enabled me to sing Oops! I Did it Again! along with Brit Brit.
I am thankful the man who saw me dancing along while I sang didn't point and laugh.
I'm thankful to go to dinner with another friend I haven't seen in forever tonight! She hearts wine like I do. That makes me even more thankful.
(I'm thankful for a lot more, but crazy busy so maybe more to come).
Oh and not to be left out!! I'm thankful for everyone's awesomesauce comments yesterday! Thanks, peeps! :)
UPDATE: Other things I'm thankful for: Not writing something bad, unprofessional or otherwise embarassing in the email to my VP's assistant b/c she accidentally forwarded the entire chain of our emails to the entire state's agency force. Are.you.kidding. The last time I read through things that fast, I was looking for my name on the bar passage list. Phew. Jax=not an a*hole today. Woohoo!
I'm gonna try to actually do this on time!! YAY! WBW on a Wednesday! :)
This is when I darkened my hair.. Random: Do you seem to do something to your hair when you go through something? Happy or sad? Anyway... I darkened my hair and I don't think there was an actual reason this time other than being bored with it. I really liked it, but do you have any idea how tan I was in these photos? You can't tell but dude.... I was the poster child for melanoma b/c the brown hair made me feel pale. (which is why I keep ignoring my current impulses to darken it).
This was New Years 2006! Okay, here's a question.. it was turning 2007.. so is it New Years 2006? or 2007? I get so confused b/c if you're talking about New Year's EVE, then it's 06, right? But then if you're talking about New YEAR...then it's... of forget it. I even went and googled it just now and I'm not the only one confused. Most people seem to agree that this pic would be called New Years 2007. (Yes, ladies and gentleman, I have my law degree. Wow). This was from a random night sometime a few weeks after New Years :) It was my first trip to Templ, a local bar...ya know.. when it was still cool. In Tulsa, that translates to "before there was a shooting there.." Tonight, Leslie and I went to dinner! I love that our high school reunion brought us back together!! :) I'm trying to get her to start a blog! :) We sat at Charlestons and chatted for over three hours!!! Cuhrazy!!! :) Love it!
So, is it me or are you obsessed with fall clothes? Okay, it's prolly just me. Fall doesnt start here til.. oh.. October.. but for some reason, I am wanting to wear a chunky necklace, lightweight sweater, dark jeans and tall boots. And maybe a scarf too. Today, I even wore an oversized cardigan over a summery shirt with jeans and heels. I dont want summer to be over AT ALL but I could go for a week of fall just for fun. :) Then, immediately back to the hot weather!
Rephrase.. that's what I wore for my FIRST outfit.. lol! I went home and changed for my TU Alum Homecoming committee meeting into something dressier b/c was worried people'd be business casual. I work in a jeans office. Then, I came home again before dinner with Leslie and threw on jeans. Yes, that's three outfits in a Tuesday. I think I just rolled my eyes at myself, people.
Happy Way Back Wednesday! :)
And last but not least.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!!!! If you get a chance, shoot over and give her some bday love!! :)
I have no idea when I leave for the UW. I think it's a couple weeks. I've played phone tag with the local peeps and our HR folks are based somewhere else and don't know about our local campaign. *lips pursed and shifted to one side* I've also heard rumors about getting a company car since I'll be driving so much. I called our HR person... Who knows.
I am trrrrrryying to not check out mentally before I actually get to check out physically, but it's hard, people. This morning, I entered 4 sweepstakes on Glamour dot com. So much for coming in at 8am to get things done. Productive. Right. I also hope to take a day off before I leave.. I dont think I'll get time off while I'm being all philanthropic. That sounds crappy.. "Hi, can I have a day off from doing good? I'm kinda tired." hahahaha... So, hopefully I can take a day next week or something.
Check that, UW person just called me back. I start in a couple weeks! Nervous! I guess it kicks off with a breakfast for us then we learn about the bus-nass, tour some local agencies, etc. By week's end, we're assigned to our divisions. Dude. I wonder if they wait to see what we're like before they assign us places? This could be good or bad. I'd like to think I give off a good impression. But, as I drift back to college memories, I recall rushing some really great girls.. but I also recall rushing some HEINOUS B*TCHES b/c people thought they were just "shy." Therefore, the theory was "Jackie is so talkative and stuff. She can make anyone feel comfy and we really like this girl but heard she's shy, so let's put Jackie with her." She wasn't shy. She was usually a complete snob. My personal favorite...
Me: conversation was NOT flowing and we were outside in the yard so I said "We're the only house with a fenced in backyard and little deck/patio...which is nice for privacy, etc..." Her: "Whatever. I dont like being outside much and the yard is tiny here anyway." *silence*
She was awesome. *nervous*
So what if I think I'm giving off a great impression and they think I'm nice, etc and stick me with some a-holes who think philanthropy is for bozos?!
I.am.over.analyzing.
Thanks for voting in my poll, peeps!! Glad Monday's almost ov-uh!
Welcome to the weekend...er...in blog form that is. Sad it's over b/c time seems to be flyyyying, right?!
Friday, Eric and I headed to my friend, Kristy's bday dinner at Los Cabos! Her party is coming up-the tool academy party- but her actual bday was this weekend so some of us had a low key dinner. :) (Mind you, not much with her is "low key" which is why I love her.. haha).
We kiiinda forgot you can't make reservations so we were stuck outside for awhile getting niiiiice and sweaty. But, we still had fun! And had we been inside, we would have missed Kristy's bday cowbell playing debut! LOL! She's seriously the only one I know who could make this look fashionable.
Ever have one of those "I love this photo of you, but not of me" then you take another and the roles switch so the other person shuts their eyes or looks constipated (I just laughed at myself with that one) or something? haha.. We did that whole game a little bit... This one turned out okay, though... But the whole "Can you take it again?" is semi hilarious. :) Granted, I'm perpetually on the hunt for a fb photo and I don't think Eric cares, so I guess I'm really the obsessive one. *shrug*
Beth and Marla got Kristy a camera! She was so surprised, she cried. :) So cute!!! While all the girls were ooh-ing and awww-ing over gifts n stuff, some of the boys were talking iphone, sports, or something related thereto. I thought that was funny.. Have I ever told you how awesome Eric is? B/c he may or may not be getting allergy shots for MANY reasons, but one leetle tiny one in the mix is so he can hang out at my place without having a reaction to G dawg. :) That said, he had to go through that whole "Let's play what are you allergic to" game. Note the remaining bump on his arm from shots. (He had FORTY!) And I was attempting to point out the little thing I had frozen off at the derm. We're a tough couple. Fact. Saturday, Eric and I ate lunch at a Tulsa staple by TU's campus, Ty's Hamburgers! YUMTASTIC! They don't take credit cards so go prepared... but awesomesauce burgers... mmm...
Headed home and played with G. I switched up the sofa cushions and G tries to sleep on the top of the new one in "her place" and keeps falling behind it! LOL! It's the funniest thing ever. So yes.. instead of helping her, I took a few pics first.. hahaha... I finally picked her up and put her back where she lays, but look at her face!!!! LOL!! This is my dog's "holy sh*t-what just happened" face... I headed to the mall in an attempt to take advantage of the tax free weekend and that was close to the worst idea I've had in awhile. I needed jeans. That's all. What I didn't consider is jeans are the staple item of high schoolers...during tax free weekend. Jax=moron. I gave up and went home.
Sat night, Eric and I chilled at the Brook for dinner, saw some girls I certainly hope were headed to a costume party *nervous* (think Britney during her pink hair days and add some fishnets...and a cowboy hat), and then headed to see The Ugly Truth.
Was it cheesy? Duh. Did I still like it? Duh. It wasn't bad, but yeah.. haha... I wanna see GI Joe now!!! (yes, I really do).
This morning, Eric wanted to beat the heat and finish the shed. In case you haven't noticed, Eric likes to (1) see projects through til the end and (2) is very detail oriented on things like this. Both of which I admire bc I get frustrated on stuff like this. Especially in 95 degree heat. That said, I still smile when I see him out there, making lists of things he still needs, etc... And I like to go out and "help" (hold things, hand him things, help organize). He lets me feel like I'm helping. :)
He's been hanging cork board, hooks, etc.. and I have NO idea if I would have been able to get everything in that little shed in such an organized fashion. Although...seeing all this stuff on the walls makes me reconsider my "this place is safe in a storm" statement from a previous entry. *nervous* haha! (and yes, he also re-framed the inside...which means all that wood you see is his doing. Impressed? I am.) And finally, a poll! Today, I went to Promenade for attempt two at jeans. I'll skip all this stuff you don't care about. I ended up with a pair on major sale! I wanted to brave Woodland to hit up Sephora b/c I'm out of perfume, but I didn't feel like the crowds. I've been out of my perfume for awhile and I've been missing it...
Okay okay.. rambling... what I'm getting at is... I was thinking.. there are certain things that make me feel pretty...and girly...and sexy...and empowered...and and and... Anyway, my fav perfume is one of them. I mean...the pretty thing totally depends on my mood-a sassy new dress versus an old, fav pair of jeans for example- but still...I was just wondering in general...what about you... What makes you feel pretty? I just listed some random things I like and I left an "other" button too! I almost took off the "tan" button b/c it felt dumb..but really...being tan-especially from a fun day in the sun-makes me feel like I'm on vacation...and who doesn't feel pretty on vacation?! Anyway, feel free to vote on the options or list and of yours in the "other" category! I'm curious! :)
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! I can't believe we're already back at Monday and this weekend is MID AUGUST. Cuhrazy!
When I hated my life at the law firm o fun, I somehow found a blog that kinda inspired me to keep up the bloggage. It wasn't about career perfection or life's fabulousness or any of the things I felt like I was striving for in my more-massive-than-my-24-year-old-lawyer-self-needed leather chair. It wasn't about really much of anything other than...well.. b*tching and ranting and humor. Gotta admit. I became hooked. The girl had ZERO filter...and it was funny as hell! I even tried my hand in my own anonymous blog...which failed. (1) I don't like being anonymous and (2) I'm not that funny. Just sayin. That said, a girl friend and I actually started a successful anonymous one about dating (oooh, curious, right?) and it was a hit a couple years ago for awhile! There ended up being about 4 of us from all over the country telling our sorted tales, advice, etc... But, then I went and got myself a job I liked and a healthy relationship (and so did my friend)...so...our interest in it dissipated. But, the other day I got to thinking about that blog that I loved so much back in the day and what she's up to. I guess she still isn't writing.. at least on this blog anymore. (she stopped a couple years ago). That said, it's still entertaining as hell.
So, if you're bored and need a giggle (if we have a similar sense of humor that is), check out The Company B*tch.
So, I went to the derm on Friday....and....ladies and gents, I am skin cancer fuuuh-reeeeeee! My "mole" wasn't a mole at all, but rather something else that was brought on by the sun, but was NOT dangerous! :) So, he removed it (thank you, freaky dry ice can)! :) If you need a good derm, I am HIGHLY recommending him. Mary gave me his name...and her dad is a big shot in the cancer surgery dept here...and my new derm is his friend/Mary's former derm. So, he knows his shiznit. Just sayin. He's so nice...and real. He called anyone under the age of 35 a "heartthrob" like "Those heartthrobs these days...now they know what they're doing to their bodies with the sun unlike some of us old folks who were out there and didn't know better..." haha.. He continued with "Our bodies are products of generations of sun exposure.. a little sun here or a day at the pool or lake or whatever isn't going to hurt..and you're gonna do it anyway. So just wear sunblock and don't get burned. You look nice with your little tan; so don't worry. But, stay away from the tanning beds."
He went on to tell me my skin is healthy and I'll likely age well (THANK YOU, DOC, even if you're blowing smoke up my a**! haha!) b/c he says I have good elasticity. :) But, he also said women need to be extra careful of: our middle backs, back of hands, chests, and face. Definitely said people aren't careful enough of the backs of their hands. I thought that was interesting.
My fav comment from him was re: facelifts. He said "It's like your fav pair of underwear...the elastic starts to go and you can take out an inch from the waistband and sew em up, but the elastic....now that's never comin' back..." *as he said this, he pulled his cheeks back to mimic in humor* hahahaha!
I mean...is being completely sun-free best? Maybe so. But, I was just glad he understands most people aren't going to completely avoid it. But, I AM staying away from the beds. And honestly, I don't think being AS tan is really as attractive as it once was. A little color is cool, but more and more I think pale is quite pretty... (except for on me. just sayin. hahaha).
Last night, some of us went out for my friend, Kristy's birthday at Los Cabos. It was SO HOT. Wait til you see the (sweaty) photos. I was so tired... I got back to Eric's and in the process of getting ready for bed, broke his toothbrush holder by knocking it in the sink, dropped the razor off his shelf trying to put my contact case up there and then got makeup all over on his towel b/ apparently tired Jackie doesn't know how to wash her face very well. I was in some sleeptastic corona-induced haze. I hadn't had too much to drink at all; but it acted like a sleeping pill! haha!
Just saw this preview during a show (may or may not be rewatching the SYTYCD finale), and I wanna see this! How cute is it?! And I really like Alexis Bl*del.
And then Ashley posted about this awhile ago, but totally wanna see THIS ONE too!!! :) Just the preview made me cry! Here's the true story behind the movie.
Hope you're having a fabutastic weekend! Wear that sunblock, peeps! XOXO!
One of my college friends who has become an even closer friend today despite miles of distance (thanks to blogger) is in town! Lauryl is a talented floral designer in town for an event this weekend from Cali. :) She hasn't gotten to meet the new additions to our friends, so we had dinner and the babies came along!
Brooke is looking super cute with her baby belly! She's not telling us the name til her shower. Already excited. :) My personal fav was her request to just smell my beer.. hahaha.. Nice.
And now some baby shots! First... Maddox!! This little guy will steal your heart in about half a second or less! Maddox and mommy, Jenny! :)
And now LUCIA!!! :) You can't help but smile when you see this little face, right? Did you? If you didn't, you have no heart. lol!
Lucia and mommy, Sarah!
She was bouncing/kicking on my legs and I was holding her.. til she got distracted. Comical. haha...
Lucia's in that "reach for everything" phase (including earrings).. haha... :)
Lauryl and Lucia! :)
Good times tonight with friends. :) Glad Lauryl came in town so we all got together and platyed tonight! It reminded us somewhat more local girlies we definitely need to get together more!
So get this... I almost blogged it earlier, but now I DEFINITELY have to. I got a missed call at 2am from an ex's number. The message, while it didn't sound like him, was pretty horrible. No need to go into it. But, I was like "He must have been wasted...but even so... weird.. We havent talked in months and we've both moved on.." I was semi pissed b/c I was like "Wow. Grow up." But, I didn't do anything about it except roll my eyes... THEN, my girl friend, Kel, called me and told me of our other friend having a similar thing happening at...2am. She called the phone company and they said there's a site where people can basically call whoever they want using your number as the thing that will show up on the caller id! AND it allows you to disguise your voice. I immediately put two and two together. It wasn't my ex who called at all. Wow. Things I look forward to: calling the company tomorrow b/c it is illegal thanks to an act in Oklahoma. (THANK YOU, OKLAHOMA!) and therefore, I can likely get the info. If I can't tomorrow, I will get it. It might just take a bit. And the best part... in OK, it's a 10,000 fine or a year in prison. hahaha! If that person apologized, I'd prolly be over it. But... I don't think they will... so....*shrug* that's that... But, just an FYI that this is a possibility. Granted, it's something high schoolers and stalkers likely do, but hey... I guess the person who did it to me has a lot of time on their hands at 2am. Just glad I didn't really take much stock in it anyway or else coulda been DRA.MA. haha.. If you make it through law school without hacking someone off-even unintentionally-you're an outlier. My opinion. (the people involved in this all went to law school so it's someone who knows us all).
On a better note, I won something! I never win anything! The Cape House had her 200th post and I won a postcard from Chile (where she's living) for being the second comment! I've really liked reading her blog for a few months now and am excited for my postcard! It will definitely be featured. :)
Okay, I'm sleepy and I don't know if I'm making sense anymore (haha) so have a good Friday!!! Tomorrow morning is my derm appt! Nervous!
So, I kiiiinda didn't get on the Wack Back Wednesday train yesterday b/c I got too crazy busy last night. BUT, I wanted to stick with it for blog solidarity or something.. haha... So, here's my cousin, Karissa, on her wedding day in 2004. :) We'd just had our hair and makeup done. I was her MoH and it was comical b/c since I don't live there (VA), I planned the bachelorette party from Tulsa...and some of the goings on b/c of that were pretty funny (places I "heard" were good, etc.. haha..*nervous*). Anyway, she now has two gorgeous little boys and I wish we got to see each other more. :) And from yesterday...
Hi, I'm Gracie and I've got a parasite and my tummy's upset!(LOL!)
....so I made her chicken and rice. As in went to the grocery store for my dog. As a side note, Megan made me think about what I was really buying in a recent post... so I bought hormone-free, organic chicken for Gracie and me! (the bowl looks dirty from the steam from the rice.. I promise it's not) And since I was cooking for her, I went ahead and spiced mine up a little but had the same thing. So yeah, the dog and I ate together. That's how we roll.
And while I was taking pics of things on my table, I wanted to feature these AWESOME candles! They're some of my favs! They're called Tyler (the website is still being developed) and smell.so.good. Plus, they have cute little lids (as you can see) and make the whole room smell awesome without being overpowering. These were a birthday gift from a friend, but you can get them at lotsa local boutiques-I think she got these at J.Cole. They used to be at On The Corner (31st and Harvard) and Tapestry of Faith (41st and Peoria) but haven't been there in awhile, so not 100%. Anyway, I love them and recommend! :)
I ran by rent by my LL's (they live in a neighborhood close by) and was told they'd swing by to fix something I'd complained about awhile ago. I was glad, but also like "CRAP!!!! Gracie's sick!" So, I got home and cleaned.. and cleaned.. and cleaned.. It wasn't dirty in there, but now you might be able to eat off my baseboards. (not really, but still). Kelli was staying with me anyway since she was going to the Journey concert and had to be in Tulsa for work today (she lives in OKC) so I had some time to kill while she was in the concert...
And I also took my tech-loving boyfriend some ice cream (I'm so nice and I also wanted ice cream. It feels less fatty when you eat it with someone. Just sayin). He's trying to get stuff off his college computer by using a current desktop he has and the old computer's hard drive. I have ZERO idea how to do any of this, but see how determined he is?! ha! :)
Hi, my name is Eric and I have too many computers out at one time. (Please note.. these were with my phone and I'm not sure how thrilled he was with my photoshoot while he was working on the computer so I didn't ask him to pose or smile..haha.. )
Happy Thursday!!! :) Gracie had a LONG walk this am and is in the crate.. so I really really hope she doesn't get sick. But if my LLs are coming over, it's almost a given. I think she's scared of them.. hahahaha.. Or not. But seriously... cross your fingers everything goes well and I don't come home to cuhrazysauce at the apt later.
(I wonder how many people THAT's gonna direct to the blog from google.. Nervous). haha! Anyway, Mariah Carey's glittered underthings she wore in some video were just ONE of the things I got to see this morning at the brand new Ha*d Rock Hotel in Tulsa! In case you've been sleeping under a rock (if you're in Tulsa), here's the article.. :)
Our event planners went to look at the place and asked me if I wanted to come see it! The sales manager (who was AWESOME btw) met us with hard hats at the door so we could explore even the unfinished parts. He said every.single.sleeping room was booked so that's all he could show us...the slightly unfinished rooms! Crazysauce! :)
Lemme tell you guys... it's really cool. My personal fav was the store with tee shirts saying "H*rd Rock-TULSA!" Love! Anyway, I saw Brit Brit's miniskirt (and would like a photo by the same-takers?) ;) and some other fun memorabilia. The entire new wing is nonsmoking and the rooms are fab. The suites are even more fab-think jacuzzis overlooking the city, huge floor to ceiling "chevron" windows (he called them that.. no idea about windows so whatever), televisions that come up from the footboard area of the bed on remote. Yeah. Cool. The decor is super modern and trendy.
AND they have an AWESOME reception area on the 18th floor with those same floor to ceiling windows.. I have to admit.. I didnt feel like I was in a casino at all in the new wing... My other personal fav is the brand new McGills they're finishing on the 19th floor. I cannot WAIT to eat there!
Anyhoo, I'm not a huge Casino fan-even during my trips to Vegas- but I was impressed about what they've done in Tulsa. I'm always impressed when they do something cool around here. Just sayin. So, my blog is advertising to all you peeps.. haha! Wait another month or so if you want...b/c I think most will be done by then.. but definietly go take a look!
And I got to wear a hardhat. You can't go wrong with business attire and a hardhat. Just sayin.
