I haven't enjoyed a Saturday in Norman since February 27th....which from this past Saturday...was ONE month ago. I know what you are thinking: madness. With all this madness in mind, it was DUE time to be at home, wake up with no alarm, and a minimal to zero task list at my fingertips not to mention a talk with my Fairy Godmother . "A fun day with girlfriends wouldn't be bad," I explained to my Fairy GM.
And the Fairy Godmother said, "Your wish is granted beautiful Kate."
After starting my day with donuts and playing with really cute small children - which isn't all that abnormal for this single white female, Lori (aka: Big Sis in DG land/Anchormate) and I headed over to Mitchell's Jewelry to work on Kim's to-good-to-be-true (but are) wedding rings. The Jewelry Lady was so nice...and let me try on lots of rings my Fairy Godmother tells me are in my future.

If you are ever in OKC/Norman metro...it is a must. Mac and Cheese. BBQ Ranch for your salad. Cornbread. Croutons made from the cornbread. Wear forgiving pants when you go.
After lunch, we flew (on our magic carpets) over to Holmberg Hall (Reynolds Performing Arts Center) to judge OU Sooner Scandals. We made it look easy to serve as esteemed judges. It wasn't. These students work so hard on these 12 minutes musicals...some ready for Broadway...some not so much. Nevertheless it was the most entertaining.
Upon leaving Scandals it was freezing. As in late November freezing.The wind. The drizzle. The dropping temps.
But we made it safely to The Mont - home of the Sooner Swirl. I know you were worried sick.
Sitting on The Mont Patio was OUT of the question.

My second favorite booth in the place I've been coming for 15 years.
Such a SUPER Saturday. Such SUPER girlfriends.

Fun post! It's good you are having fun!
Hi Kate,
Way back on Nov. 30th I left you a comment. In it I referenced Liz Tuccillo's novel "How To Be Single". I don't necessarily recommend the entire book. But I did find one passage meaningful and thought you might appreciate it.
The character is Alice who is beautiful, successful, single and 38. She's just turned down a proposal from a man she does not love...
"... she realized she didn't want to be the girl who refused to settle. She didn't want to be the girl who believed that life is short and it's better to be single and looking for 'the love of your life' than just give up and settle. She didn't want to be that girl. She thought that girl was stupid. Naive... Waiting and searching for the love of your life was exhausting. It might be delusional. Again, yes, she knew that some people win the lottery and get to fall in love with someone who is also mad about them, and their life together is harmonious and filled with love. But she didn't want to be the girl who stubbornly held out for what might never come... (Alice begins to sob)... She realized she was that girl..."
It struck me, being one of those girls who doesn't want to be the naive, but I am the one living this life. Maybe you can relate?
