Tales of Tornado Tuesday

June 2, 2011 By ashleylately 7 Comments

Hey y’all! As many of you know, last Tuesday Oklahoma was hit with major tornadoes. I think the last count I saw said six tornadoes hit the state in just a few hours.

Most of the time, I will just stay at my apartment during severe weather. It’s definitely not the safest place to be, but usually the tornadoes just go around me. That day, the weather man had predicted what he called a “tornado outbreak”, and I knew it would be a pretty unpredictable afternoon. He also said that we only have days like that maybe once every 1-2 years, so I decided not to take a chance. My boss let us leave early so we could take precautions so after talking to my brother, we decided to go to our grandparents’ house since they have a storm shelter.

Teddie was staying with me for a few days, so I let her know what we were going to do. She asked me to grab a couple of her things from the apartment and she would meet us at the grandparents’ house. Colby and I grabbed the cat and a few of our things. On our way down stairs, Teddie showed up, so she jumped in the truck with us.

I don’t do well during severe weather, so to distract myself, I started taking pictures.

Grandaddy Leon decided it would be a great idea to sit on the back porch

One of the things I grabbed from my apartment, along with my CDs of pictures. No way was I leaving Louis at home!

Our weatherman Rick Mitchell

He is most definitely the best! He lets us know when it is serious, but he doesn’t freak out. I am definitely calmer during storms when he’s on!

We were very lucky that the worst part of the storms went around us, and we never had to go into the storm shelter at all. Not everyone was so lucky, so we are definitely thankful that it passed over us.

Weekend Update

May 31, 2011 By ashleylately 9 Comments

Hey y’all! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! It was so wonderful to get to lay in bed all day yesterday!

Saturday, Regina and Joey were passing through OKC, so we got to meet for lunch, along with several other friends! I hadn’t seen Regina and Joey in about 2 1/2 years, so it was WONDERFUL to get to spend a little bit of time together. Just wish we had more!

Regina and Amanda

Josh and Barbie

I love that Joey snapped this picture of us! It’s super awkward, but I feel like we spent the entire time together laughing. I miss our Thursday nights at the outreach center back in college. We had some great times, didn’t we Regina?

Sunday was church, a little bit of work, church again, then a movie at Wade and Joyce’s house. They had a bunch of people over for dinner and a movie, and I took NO PICTURES! I know, I’m a terrible blogger.

Monday, I laid in bed. All day. Seriously, I laid in my bed all day, and it was WONDERFUL!

I hope you all have a great four-day week!

Fun Friday

May 27, 2011 By ashleylately 8 Comments

It’s time for Fun Friday with Jen!

I don’t have a lot of Memorial Day weekend plans. I have to work a little bit on Sunday, so I’m staying in town.

Saturday, Regina and her husband are going to be in town, so we are meeting up for lunch!

It’s been several years since we’ve seen each other, which is ENTIRELY TOO LONG! Regina, I can’t wait to see you!

I have a little bit of work on Sunday, then hopefully getting to be a bum the rest of the weekend. I really need some chill time. This week has been pretty crazy.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend!

Boob Tube Babble: A Few More Finales

May 27, 2011 By ashleylately 4 Comments

Hey y’all! Today’s Boob Tube Babble is a continuation of last week’s finale post. Several more great shows ended this week; some for the season, and some forever.

Not gonna lie, it was a sad week for me.

Monday night was the season finale of Dancing with the Stars.

The final three were Chelsea Kane, Hines Ward, and Kirstie Alley.

I voted several times for Chelsea.

Hines won.

Wednesday night was the finale of American Idol.

The finale two were Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

I sent about 50 text votes for Lauren.

Scotty won.

But, my girl Carrie performed with Lauren, so I guess that kinda made up for Lauren not winning! :)

Also, Wednesday was Oprah’s last show.

I’m not going to lie, I cried during the last five minutes or so.

Oprah is one of my favorite people ever. I’ve been watching her show basically my entire life. She is a great person, and she has used her show and influence to do a lot of great things. I am definitely going to miss her!

A few of my favorite Oprah show moments…

Weekend Update

May 23, 2011 By ashleylately 9 Comments

Hey y’all! Hope you had a great weekend! Mine was pretty chill. My work week was super busy as always, so it was nice to lay around a bit for the weekend.

Friday night, I came home from work and put in season 1 of Glee.

At some point, I fell asleep and woke up around 9:30. I called and talked to my momma for a few minutes, then went to bed. It was wonderful!

Saturday, I laid in bed for awhile watching episodes of Sunset Beach on YouTube.

I know, I’m a loser, but it was kinda fun!

I had to work for a couple of hours in the afternoon, and when I was finished, I went to Joyce’s school to help her clean in her classroom to get ready for checkout. Tuesday is her last day with kids, so she’s getting everything ready so she can check out on Wednesday. She got to school around 11:30 and we didn’t leave until 7:20! This is one of the many reasons I will NEVER be a teacher!
