Marys trip to the "City"!

Ok, so Adam pointed out that since I don't officially live in Norman than I should blog on here about my trip to Oklahoma City on New Years Eve... so here it goes.

I got off work at three, but Adam didn't get off work until 6. So I hung around Tulsa for a bit... Shanell straightened my hair and I ended up leaving Tulsa (well really Sandsprings) at 5. So needless to say, I didn't make it to the City before Adam got off work. I made pretty good time though.

Anyway, I met Adam at his work, and we took his car to Bricktown (which for those of you not familiar with this place, its a whole lot of restraunts, stores and even some weird man made waterway. Its pretty cool), and we walked around.


Mexican food restraunt

Thats what I'm calling it, as I have no idea what the name of it is. We origionally put down our name for Zios and then went to check out the mexican food restraunt, and there was no wait there, so we ditched Zios and went to the Mexican food restraunt. Anyway, our waitor was a bit pushy, but its probably because there was so many people there he was probably running on adrenaline alone. So I wasn't too worried about it. I got what I always get in new Mexican food restraunts and that is a Chimichanga. Those are pretty hard to mess up. Adam got Fajitas. We were talking and observing people, and wait staff. It was interesting. If you are ever around Adam and I when we're observing people, you're in for quite a treat. We say what we think these peoples story is. And sometimes its real elaborate, and sometimes its not. The more the people, the more interesting it gets. So after dinner, we pay and take off.

Snow tubing at the baseball park
No, before you ask, we did not snow tube. But Adam heard about this huge snow mound that people could tube down in the middle of the baseball park in Bricktown. So we went to check it out. Well it was $10 for an hour and a half, as much tubing as you could handle for that much time. What it really was, was slides covered in snow or ice or something. Well Adam and I watched this for quite some time. We talked about some of the things people were wearing on that freezing cold day. There were some guys who were wearing some Jedi looking robes, they were brown with hoods. So of course there were some jokes thrown around about "if I had that robe...". And after we left we decided to just walk around Bricktown.

Toby Keiths I love this Bar and Grill
So when Adam and I were in Ft. Worth he got this drink called "the three stooges" at the comedy club we went to. Well he took a picture of the ingredients and we decided it was time for a drink. (and time to go inside as I was FREEZING!) Well we went to Toby Keiths I love this Bar and Grill because we knew it was a restraunt but we figured there would be a seperate bar (as it says Bar AND Grill). But there was no place at the bar for us, so Adam went to the bathroom, that was so conveniently labeled "Whos yo daddy" as the boys restroom. (I didn't go to the womens restroom so I don't know what that one was labeled) As our bar sitting was not going to happen, we left this fine establishment and went looking for another bar.

Redpin? Bowling Alley Bar
I think its called Redpin (which is why there is a question mark). Well we went in there, found 2 seats together and got ourselves a drink. I had a LIT (ask if you don't know what that is) and Adam got his Three Stooges drink. Well at first the bartender was there, listening to what we had to say, but the longer we were there (sadly we were only there about 1 1/2 hours) the less he payed attention to us. Adam only had that one drink (which was ALL alcohol), and I had 1 1/2 LITs and a glass of water. Anyway, we were trying to "tab out" for about 30 minutes, but the bartender never came back. I finally (after getting PISSED OFF) went and retrieved him. I told Adam not to tip him. Adam aaaalllllmost gave him an 8 dollar tip, but ended up not tipping. Our service was THAT bad. (I almost NEVER don't leave a tip) Usually if the service is mediocre I leave 10 percent, but our service would have been a huge leap if it was mediocre.

Apparently Alex, Jordan and Liz were there

My brother married a lady by the name of Victoria. I call her Vicki. She had 2 previous children named Alex and Jordan(I refer to them as my niece and nephew) and her sisters name is Liz. Well I didn't find this out until the next day when Vicki called me, but Jordan saw me and yelled my name and I didn't even hear him. Poor kid. I would have gone to visit him, had I heard him beckon. Oh well, maybe after I move we can have some Aunt time.

Waiting for fireworks
We decided that we were going to walk towards the car, it was nearing midnight and it was cold, and Adam had to be at work the next day, so we needed to leave after the fire works. So when we got to this street corner I noticed it was a couple of minutes before midnight, so we just stood there and waited for the fireworks. I stuck my arms inside Adams jacket, and held on to him and he put his arm around me (my hair was in his face) and we stood like that through the fireworks. (which were fun) Then we went to the car and he drove me back to my car.

DUI checkpoint in Norman

If you read this whole post, you will remember I said I had 1 1/2 LITs (and a glass of water). Well when I saw the check point I was like "CRAP!!!". Well I rolled down my window and the officer says "This is a DUI check point, trying to make sure everyone is safe on the road, have you had anything to drink tonight?" my immediate response was "uhhh no." He thanked me and informed me that my right headlight was out. Is it against the law to lie to a cop? I hope not, cause I did. I wasn't drunk by any stretch of the imagination, I wasn't even buzzed. But I figured if I said, yeah I had a LIT earlier tonight, I would open pandoras box.

The next morning
Poor Adam, he had to get up the next morning and go to work, since we didn't have his laptop (which is what he uses for an alarm) we had set both of our phones alarms and he has an alarm that I set in his room. Well normally when the alarm goes off and I'm there, I touch him in some way, run my fingers through his hair, across his cheek or rub his back. Well this time I was so tired, that I pushed him and said "time to get up" he was probably thinking, where is that sweet girl who used to wake me up so lovingly. Well she was DEAD TIRED and wasn't ready to get up. Anyway, he ended up getting up, and came in (like he always does, and if he doesn't I think it would upset me) and kissed me goodbye. It was sweet. That was about 6am. So my "new years kiss" that was supposed to happen at midnight, happened at 6am.

Then I finally got up
I'm going to say I got up about 10:30am. And started cleaning on the apartment. I had no where to go, and no television, and the internet was not working, so what better to occupy my time, clean the house. Well I cleaned off and on, and rested off and on. It was my day off, I wasn't going to go crazy cleaning the apartment. I had gotten alot done between the time I got up and the time Adam got home. (Nothing happened after Adam got home, well no more cleaning) After he got home, we messed around the apartment for a little bit, Adam took a shower, and we went to McAlisters for dinner. We came home, Adam set up his laptop, and we went to bed and watched..... Friends I think. Yes the lesbian wedding. So it was Friends.

I stayed an extra night
I had planned to go home on New Years Day, but Adam convinced me to stay another night by promising cuddling I'm weak when it comes to cuddling, even though sometimes Adams cuddling ends in me being pinned in some over exagerated version of cuddling. (Adam is much stronger than I am.) Well I stay the night again, he gets up (I woke him up much nicer this time) and gets ready, kisses me goodbye, and goes to work, as I think, I should get up, I end up falling back asleep. My plans were to leave the apartment at 8am, Adam calls at 8:15, wakes me up and asks me if I can wait for the internet guy. I say sure, I think, depends on when he gets there. Well he got there and I leave Adams house around 11am. Three hours later than anticipated, but I left that day. :-)

So yeah, thats my story of MY latest travel.

NOW Adam has to blog about his trip to Tulsa this weekend, as he doesn't live here so its a trip. OOOOHHHHH YEAH!
