Random Friday Thoughts

The skies above the DFW area last night were angry. Pounding rain, loud thunderous booms, and plenty of lightening made sleeping a bit challenging. At one point I rolled over and said to Brad, "I think there's a conspiracy theory going on to keep me from getting enough sleep this week." Seriously it's been a bad week for sleep for me. I hope to catch up this weekend. It was Piper's fault one night this week but twice during the week it was Brad that woke me up to help him with stuff. On Wednesday night before coming to bed he realized a catastrophe had occurred in his tennis bag. There we were at 1:30 in the morning cleaning his tennis bag together. I commonly go to bed before Brad, which means he sometimes wakes me up to help him with something. Of course, I don't mind helping him. Just wish he could need help before I go to bed. Lol! Anyway, I hope that as the weekend arrives I can get some extra sleep.

Are we all getting ready for the big game tomorrow? Red River Rivalry day! Oklahoma comes to town to take on the Longhorns at the stadium on the State Fair grounds. I suggested to Brad that I could dress each furbaby to represent the two teams. One in red and one in orange. Brad was not for this idea at all. He quickly reminded me with great clamor both of our furbabies are Texans!! One is from Irving area and the other is from Fort Worth. So no chance I'm going to be allowed to dress one of them in Sooners red. LOL! However, I would like to add that local grocery stores are featuring plates, napkins, tablecloths, balloons, cupcakes, and even cookies decorated for either team this weekend.

Oh man, what would happen if I bought a giant cookie decorated with Sooners logo? Brad would never eat it and I'd likely have to sleep on the couch! Lol! I wouldn't want all that red frosting anyway. Total side note, but after all these many years why haven't they figured out how to make red frosting taste good? It's awful tasting. It always has been too! Anyone else share this opinion that red frosting tastes nasty? I love the color red...it's my favorite. Every year for a few years in a row Brad used to get my birthday cake with some extra writing on it, he'd always request red since it's my fave color. By the time we got married I had to clue him in that I don't like the flavor of red frosting.

And now to end this post I'll include a flashback Friday pic, of course it has to be of Piper since we just celebrated her bday...baby Pipey

 Cat's eyes glow with the camera flash. Hey, Pipe remember the days when we could have accent rugs like the one you're standing on in this pic? Gone are those days. For some reason accent rugs she now destroys. She doesn't bother our big rug in the living room but any other accent rug is likely in trouble. #pipehatesaccentrugs #reasonwecanthavenicethings...jk
