I'm With The Band

I used to be happy with a nice quiet weekend at home. Used to be. We would order some pizza and rent a movie and settle in for an exciting night.
I think the Doc really misses those days. Now that I'm -- ahem -- a little older, I like to get out of the house on the weekends.  I'm especially giddy if I get to hear a local band and go dancing.  No stadium concerts for this housewife, I want to be able to actually see the band without having to buy floor level seats! This past weekend, I mentioned that one of my favorite local bands was playing and threw some last minute plans together to go see them.  If you haven't yet seen Uninvited Guest, you should.  They are really fun! I think the Doc was a little blindsided on this one.  He didn't know we were going out.  Mrs. Albright was already planning on dinner and a movie with friends, but they went to dinner then joined us instead. I was thrilled!  See?

The Doc was having fun, too.  He just didn't know it. See?

I'll give you one guess which one belongs to me...

We dance.

We have fun.

The Doc updates his Facebook saying, "Is there a support group for men who know that their wife will leave him for a band member?"

This is a real concern for him.  Unfounded, of course.

For the record, I never even went on a date with anyone in a band.  Ever.

Does anyone else's husband need to join Doc's support group?

The Very Personal Details Of My Text Life

Today we're going to get a little personal.

We're going to address my text life.

But before we get into my own personal text life, I'll share some of my son Michael's text life.

Is that legal?

He's only thirteen...

Around here we have interesting text lives.  When I quizzed the other housewives before, I discovered this was truly a unique thing for my family.

Lucky me.

My son Michael shows his amazing communication skills through his text life.

Michael answers Aunt Becki's question with the obvious.
So helpful.

Communicating with Aunt Terri (that's a video of him blowing a raspberry at her)

We had a little talk about communicating with strangers when I saw this.

From me to Michael.
He never signed up.

I think we can all see why Michael's family members have quit trying to talk to him through texting.

Here are some snippets from my phone over the last two months.

I love telling the Doc how my day is going.
He always offers up encouragement.
And no, the poop was not mine.

I have no idea what these are about.

We're going to work on the Doc's Bible interpreting skills.

This is not from the House of Priss.
My friend and her husband communicate really well, too.

One of my many daily invitations.

Another version.

Apparently, Jacob had my phone for this one.

Sometimes the best response is no response.

This conversation ended here.
He says I'm no fun.

Also not from the House of Priss.
Hard to believe since it involves poo.
Too funny not to share.

Yup.
This text is from last week.
I stayed up and watched a movie I could care less about.
Thanks for the warning, Doc.

This one is my favorite.  It highlights a special moment in my life.

It shows that the Doc actually does know how to use a calendar.

And just so you know, I would never share these if they were serious.  This is Doc's idea of funny.  Not that he wouldn't take me up on it if I took him seriously.
Now it's your turn.
Does your special someone send you funny texts?

How To Sharpen Knives

Since this is a housewife blog, it is time to offer you some practical housewife-y advice.
I'm not sure about your house, but over here there is only one way to sharpen a knife.It's a little unconventional, but I find that it works perfectly.  Every time.
Step one: Purchase a watermelon.

Step two: Leave it on the counter.

Step three: Eventually your husband will quit waiting for you to cut open the watermelon and he will do it himself.

Step four: Now that your husband is using the knives, he will hate how dull they are... and he will sharpen them.

Knives sharpened with very little effort.It's a gift from me to you.
All the single ladies will have to find their own knife sharpening method.Good luck!

You Might Call It a RHOK Out...

So, the housewives decided to try another weekend RHOK Out again last weekend. We'd had many requests for a weekend get-together and we were feeling pretty good with the RSVP's. But, it turned out to just be the housewives, hubbies and a few close friends who actually showed up. Yeah, not thinking the weekends are the time for RHOK Outs!

It didn't really matter to us though, as we had a terrific time! We met at Baker's Street Pub & Grill to hear Uninvited Guest perform. They are a great dance band playing fun music from the 80's! Baker's Street is personally not my favorite place to be on a weekend night. It's too crowded and such a "meat market", if you know what I mean. However, you do get to see things you might not typically see on a Monday night!

We were joined by two former RHOK Housewives - Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Coco. It was great seeing them again. It had been too long. Thank you, girls, for coming!  My dear friend Kris also made it out to hang with us. We were missing Mrs. Hart though. She was sick. Boo! I, along with Mrs. Priss and Mrs. Montgomery brought along our hubbies. It made for a fun couple's night out. We need to do that more often. I love that I actually love these ladies AND their husbands.

Me, Mrs. Priss, Mrs. Montgomery, JennyKate (former Mrs. Edwards), Christy (former Mrs. Coco) and Kris.

And, now, for a few candid photos of our evening....

Mr. and Mrs. Albright

Look who we ran in to? It's our RHOK friend, Patrick. He was there with his beautiful girlfriend. It was nice to meet her.

Yes, Mrs. Priss is wearing lots of glow-in-the-dark hoops on her ears! 

We are sorry you weren't able to come hang out with us. You missed a good time. We will be planning future RHOK Outs. What night of the week do you think is best for RHOK Outs? Where would you like to see us host future events? We'd love your feedback.

P.S.
I just wanted to remind everyone who uses the iPhone app Instagram of our upcoming Instameet next Sunday, March 11 at McNellie's Pub, downtown Tulsa at 12:00pm. I know the 12:00 time is not convenient, but it's a worldwide meetup and Instagram set the time. We would love to meet you and learn about your favorite editing applications and tips. We will then go on an Instawalk in the downtown area.

Please follow our local group on Facebook - Instagram918


Please be sure to invite your friends that use Instagram as well and share the Facebook page with them.

Communication

With advances in technology comes potential for greatness.

As a demonstration of this greatness, some of the housewives are sharing their favorite texts from their husbands.

This one is in training.

At the youthful age of twelve, he shows signs of future excellence in texting as well.

Don't you think?

Is it just us or is this what your phone looks like?
We really want to know!
