girl time!

today i had some much needed girl time with nellie, lisa and gina. we started with lunch at Q'doba and several challenging rounds of bananagrams! i must say that one of my friends {lisa} doesn't like to lose! :)

after lunch we headed to downtown tulsa. the first stop was the center of the universe. it's just this circle of bricks on a bridge that runs over railroad tracks. if you stand in the middle of that circle and talk, your voice echos. it is so eerie. you can even whisper, and it sounds like you are talking loudly! this is a picture of me holding up the center of the universe with my hands!

then we went to nellie's office. she's on the 38th floor of one of the buildings downtown. this is the view! i'd love to look out on that everyday!

while we were there, we did a little redecorating for them. i left a little happy note on the board in their conference room. {i hope they like it!} and then we added a few accents to one of the attorney's door. {so if you happen to be this attorney and you're reading my blog i want you to know it was ALL NELLIE'S IDEA!}

the rest of the time we just roamed down a few streets and alleys of downtown and took goofy pictures of ourselves in front of walls. why? i don't know! some of us took more pictures of ourselves than others. {i might have taken more if i liked the way i look. sigh....}

trouble on a brick wall

geeg and nellie tried out one of the fire escapes!

this next picture is meant to be upside down. this is how i was watching for nellie and geeg while i was crouched beside a dumpster waiting for them so i could scare the snot out of them. unfortunately i got a cramp because i was waiting so long, and when i raised my head up, geeg caught me. dang it! i couldn't have gotten them so good!

lisa found a happy place to wait for geeg and nellie.

behind this artistic sculpture was a scantily clad woman who was "working" on a photography shoot. she had on high heels, a skimpy bikini bottom and a wet white t-shirt which she proceeded to lift for a couple of the shots. she apologized saying, "i'm sorry, y'all. i'm working," as she was standing in the water covering part of her boobs with her hands. lisa cleverly replied, "aww, you're gonna mess up your shoes!" i had to bite my lip to keep from laughing! i couldn't believe that they were taking pictures like this in the broad daylight in the middle of town!!!

a happy day calls for happy socks, right?

this partial poster was on a sculpture called artificial cloud that was near the center of the universe. i really like the colors in it, and the words living and laughing. i thought that had to be a real quote, so i googled it. and it IS a real quote, so it is my quote of the day.

quote of the day: "All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh" ~The Little Prince Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
