Did Someone Say... Snow?

Nothing gets an Okie more excited than talking about the weather.
A big storm headed our way means news updates every five minutes on the television.
I'm really not kidding.

If you aren't from here, you need to understand this fundamental Okie fact.

Last winter, we were disappointed in the lack of snow.  It was a devastating season.  But, hope springs eternal and the possibility of a snow day is still out there this winter.  As I type these words, snow is arriving in our area of the state and people are flooding the grocery stores for two items.  What two items?

Bread.
Milk.

Don't believe me?
He's hitting it a little too close to home.

 

The hilarity and honesty of it all hit as Michael and I went to the store to purchase... what? You guessed it.
Bread. Milk.
We documented this fine moment with a video of our own while strolling through our local Wal-Mart.

Mrs. Albright's daughter is a big fan of bread & milk. Michael's video merited a video response of her own.

Yeah. They've got this down. When they grow up to be responsible Okie adults, they will be fully capable of taking their own panic-driven trip to the store when the 2 inch Snowpocalypse threatens their home and livelihood.  

For those of you enjoying a beautiful snow, please post your pictures on our Facebook page today!

My Own Little Antiques Roadshow

Are you a junker?  Do you like going to Antique stores full of garage sale items?

My friend Lisa always finds treasure in these places, but I just find some great things to point and laugh at.  Lisa has a talent that I don't have - she can make trash look like treasure!  I may not love these places on my own but I always have fun walking the aisles of the store with Lisa.

I know you're hoping I'm about to show off Lisa's treasure, but I'm not.  And as cute as Lisa is, she refused to be photographed.  

I'm going to show you what is trending at the junk antiques store in Jenks, Oklahoma.  I must warn you - I am not the iPhone-ographer that Mrs. Albright is.  I snap 'em and I show 'em - without the editing.  

Just keeping it real.  

Or being lazy.  

Whatever you want to call it.

Are you ready?

Doll collectors and makers - this is your place.  

And... your place is creepy.

This is where serial killers go to find ideas for body disposal.

I saw this in a 1980's horror film

peek-a-boo... I see you

This is where Cabbage Patch dolls go to die.

The "beautiful designer doll"

Never fear, junking is not only for doll collectors!  You can buy clothes appropriate for anytime from 1970-1985.  I am seriously coming back here for Halloween.  I did score a totally hot Christmas sweater for $4 with all of the bells and whistles.

I'll just show you a few more exciting things I found before I sign off.  Something has to get your mind off of those creepy dolls, right?

*** shudders ***

I should have tried this on.

toilet seat cover - complete with pee stain

Can we have a crazy Easter sweater party?  

Satan called.
He wants his puppet back.

Everyone knows that old saying about manure.
And everyone wants it framed on their wall.

I think this was a Stephen King movie.

A wreath with a random girl's picture in the middle?

c'mon... vogue...

Used toddler potty seat cover - I did not check this for pee stains

Now I will leave you with a wink and a smile.

Or a wink and a grimace by way of these evil babies.

Makes me think of a bald Chucky doll or The Shining.

I can almost hear them saying "RED RUM" while riding their tricycles.

Hey, hot stuff... wanna ride?

Are you a junk store aficionado?
Where are the good places to go and what do you find?

How To Make $1000

After the stress of Christmas, there is often the stress of a smaller bank account.

Over here in South Tulsa, we have solved that problem.

Someone lost a dog and has spent a fortune on signs to find it.

They are offering $1000 for the return of their dog.

Can you believe it?

That's a lotta dough.

Mrs. Sinclair and I are in a race to see who can find that dog first.

I've searched night...

and day...

Snicker called his friends.

Didn't help - in case you were wondering.  Big dogs don't hang with the little guys, I guess.
Next, my boys and I hunted in all the usual places.

And who will find that puppy first?
Mrs. Sinclair's team are hot on our heels.

Here's hoping the coyotes didn't beat us to it.
