Mom's Birthday

Mom's birthday is in a few days, so tonight me and kels are taking her out to dinner at the restaurant I work at, then to see Pride and Prejudice. I'm pretty stoked, we never get to go out for an all out girls night like this. Wish we had the 'other sister' (jk linds) here, but its ok. Maybe I should say I wish we were all in Barcelona having a girls night, but its ok. Yeah, definitely think thats a better way of putting it.

Pate en Croute

Sunday, November 13, 2005

Well they say there is a first for everything, and tonight I saw a movie with Yul Brenner, but I'll admit I didn't recognize him til he spoke for the mere fact that he had.......hair. Me and mom argued about it because she thought it was The Ten Commandments at first, but I knew right off it wasn't. Then she claimed it was Yul Brenner and I didn't believe it, but she was right. He had a full had of hair, and a mustache to boot. Crazy. Turned out to be a movie about Solomon I'd never seen before. "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. What profit has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes, but the earth abides forever....and there is nothing new under the sun."

Did anyone else see that Steve Martin won the Mark Twain Award? They showed it on OETA (yeah I know, I'm getting old when I admit to watching public television and getting excited), was really cool because they showed a bunch of his old clips and had people telling stories about him. Almost like a roast, but not that in depth I guess. Made me laugh out loud when they showed him as Ruprect in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. "Excuse me, may I go to the bathroom? Thank you."

Best of the Best

This week I got to attend a dinner honoring Oklahoma restaurant employees who are nominated by their employer as being the 'best of the best'. Was really fun to get dressed up for an evening, doesn't happen very often. Between school and work, I feel like I'm always wearing a hat. These are my friends I work with, and some of my school buddies were there too because it is the night of the year where they help raise money for scholarships to my school through silent auctions......so all of the people that had recieved that scholarship got to come, with my 2 favorite teachers. Shouldn't say that, I'll probably get in trouble. It was at the Petroleum Club in OKC, the 35th floor of one of the downtown buildings, and started with a Champagne reception, followed by a 4 - course meal. Very honored to have the opportunity to participate. I look really short compared to the others, but thats ok. No shame in being short, right? No really, I'm asking. Right?

Quick shot before there could be any protest of my friend Jeremy, broke his leg in 2 places walking across campus. Out of school for 6 - 8 weeks, really sad.
