I know I owe you all a real post. On my list: all my skirts, layering made easy, and accessories I’m currently loving (neon pink belt! yes really!).
Unfortunately for you, today is all about guzzling coffee and trying not to doze off every time I sit down. We stayed up laaaaaaate last night to watch Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference finals, because it is impossible to live in Oklahoma City right now and not be a Thunder fan. Impossible, I tell you!
Wade scored a pair of floor-level tickets for last night’s game at the very last minute yesterday, and as much as I would have loved to go with him, couldn’t not let Charlie go. Because if anyone loves the Thunder, it’s Charlie. And if he’s going to look up to professional athletes — or any athletes — it might as well be Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and James Harden and the rest of the Thunder team. In fact, I would prefer it be them, honestly.
Here’s a thing I never thought I would say when we moved here in 2000: I love Oklahoma City. I love the energy and the sense of community — and those sweet boys who play basketball here. Thunder Up, you all.

I just saw an article proclaiming Oklahoma City to be the next Austin the other day. I never considered visiting Oklahoma City but my goal is to get to all 50 states. I’m always looking for new places to explore; do you think Oklahoma City should be on my radar for future travel? I’d love to hear your perspective as someone who lives there. Here’s the article if you are curious: http://intelligenttravel.nationalgeographic.com/2012/06/06/is-the-next-austin-in-oklahoma/
I am hopelessly out of the loop as far as basketball is concerned, but I can say how great it is being able to root for the “good guys”. We lived in San Antonio for a while, and that’s how the Spurs were–david robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu ginobli…gives you hope for pro sports!
I laughed when I read this because I, quite easily, could have written this post! I am a CA transplant to OK, and it took me a while to warm up to it. Now I love it . . . and I stayed up to cheer on the Thunder, too! Oklahoma is unexpectedly alluring if you give it a chance!
Read Big League City by David Holt which gives a great picture of why you might not have liked OKC in 2000 but love it now.
Had to comment on this – the feeling when your home town team is successful is fantastic, especially for kids. It was another continent, sport and decade for me, but being there was an amazing experience. I’ll be rooting for the Thunder from England just for Charlie!
