Even more odd kitty behavior

As shown from the post 'odd kitty behavior,' occasionally when the cat becomes incredibly restless we find a roll of our toilet paper unraveled. This afternoon she decided to do something different.




I really wish I could have seen how she did this, but some how she managed to roll the paper back up after she unrolled it. Usually there is a pile of toilet paper on the floor, but not this time.

I don't know if this is just another game she came up with or if she's trying to hide any evidence of her mischief. Either way, she definitely left her mark.

on the cover of a magazine

It's been a busy semester in pharmacy school and in my fifth grade classroom. We (the Kennedy's) have been going non-stop since October. In the middle of all the business, we had a fun surprise. The College of Pharmacy has put out a new magazine for recruitment and look who's on the cover!




Yup, that's my hubby! I am so proud of him. My low-key sweetie on the cover, ha ha! He is just so "thrilled".

odd kitty behavior

Last Friday our cat, Miss Swarley, had been alone most of the day. I did not get home and stay there until around 10 pm. We were waiting for "daddy" to come home and she starts being all cute with her tongue hanging out.








The next morning she had been not so cute.



Let's just say I had pre-unrolled toilet paper for the next 3 days.

A few days later she decides that a freshly laundered pair of khaki pants would make for a good place to sit. She seriously, will not budge.




Then yesterday she plays "fraidy cat" during the rain and hides under our wine table the whole time. Here she has finally emerged from hiding.



Swarley is a pretty good cat and she is never really a huge problem. I guess you just accept cats as they are with all their little quirks and moods.

Race for the cure

This weekend was the Race for the Cure in Bricktown. It is quite an amazing social event and supports a wonderful cause. I was on a team with several people from my gym, Fit for Her and Bob was with a team from the College of Pharmacy. It was a great experience.

I had a hard time concentrating on running because I kept reading the backs of people's shirts and seeing their loved ones they were honoring. So emotional!

Hope that makes your day! Such unflattering pictures, just proving to everyone my non-athleticism. I foresee a dramatic decline in my readers after putting you through that.

weekend fun

This weekend we were in Texas, but it wasn't because of a football game... and luckily we flew and didn't have to drive through Dallas traffic.

Actually, we got to go to Houston to visit Bob's parents. A weekend is never enough time to spend with them, there's always so much to do. This time we went over to the Kemah boardwalk and ate sea food at Landry's right by the water. The weather was very atypical for Houston, it was not humid and around 75 degrees.

Saturday evening we were able to enjoy the evening sitting around a fire in the backyard.




It was nice seeing the Sooners win while in the great state of Texas. My condolences go out to the Longhorns. It's okay Texas, you still win... for having big malls...

OU vs Air Force

It's been a fun fall so far. This year we decided to go ahead and take advantage of OU student/spouse football tickets during Bob's last year of pharmacy school before he does rotations for a year. So, we have been busy each weekend going to the games.

Two weeks ago we went to the Air Force game. It was a special game for us since currently the Air Force is paying his tuition and has a job ready for him when he graduates. What is a person to do? I think my hubby handled his loyalties very well. Check it out:



This week is the Red River Shoot Out. We will be watching the game on television. Boomer Sooner!

not quite Betty Crocker

This year for my mom's birthday I got the idea in my head that I was going to make a flip flop birthday cake for her. Sounds thoughtful doesn't it? Well, I guess I should have thought a bit more and considered that being creative and artistic is not my forte.

She found a picture of it in a magazine and mentioned she thought it was cute. I found a video online that gave step by step instructions on how to put it together. Without the video I'm not sure I would have attempted making it. This is not a strong talent for me at all. Here's how it turned out. (I'm not going to bother posting the Betty Crocker one, it's miles ahead of mine!)





It seemed to be a hit with the grandchildren, so that counts for something.



Happy Birthday Mom!
