M-A-R-C-H M-A-D-N-E-S-S 02 March 2007

People are talking about… Fans are dreaming about it… Coaches are planning for it….Teams are practicing for it. That’s right its March Madness time. Time to pull out your fan gear, study up on your teams, and set your DVR. My love for March Madness has gone on for sometime now. In high school I would just fill out my bracket with out any rhyme or reason. I wouldn’t even watch the games I would just check the newspaper or ask friends which teams had won and which teams had lost. In college I found out about a team named Gonzaga and fell in love with there name, It was just so fun to say, so I would almost always pick them to go all of the way. By then I was watching basketball but only during the Big Dance. By now though my team selection has matured as I have. Now I can stand to watch basketball before the tourney begins, but I do have some limitations. For 1) I only like to watch the last 20 minutes of a game- by then you know if it is a game or if it is a blow out. 2) If it is a blowout, it loses its appeal to me (a blowout to me is losing by like 20) I know that crazier things have happened and there has been comebacks of mass proportions, however, I prefer to watch something else on TV and flip back to the game to just check the score INCASE one of those comebacks happen (who would want to miss a game like that?) 3) I only like to watch teams that I have heard of--- if some jim-bob team is playing some bob-jim team – I am not interested. I know they could be one of those Cinderella teams, but I figure if they are that good then I will have at least heard of them by the time the tournament begins. All that to say---Go Badgers!!!

On another NOTE … March 21st is going to be awesome. Its Oneighty Ladies Night. We have put a lot of thought into it to make it super girly. From the delicious pink cupcakes and Izze’s (which I have gotten a lot of questions as to what these are and they are awesome little sparkling water and fruit juice drinks) to the awesome Oneighty Lady Tote bags which are free to the first 500 ladies. Even the after service activities are going to have Oneighty lady touch… you have got to come and check it out!

Yeah for February!!! 02 February 2007

February is HERE!!! I love February. It is the month of love and this year Valentines falls on a Wednesday so it looks like I’ll be spending Valentines at a place I love, Oneighty. It is the month of my birthday (15th). It is the month that Nike’s Limited Edition Valentines Shoe are in stores. So far I have the past two years worth, my husband has been getting them for me for Valentines.

I haven’t decided, yet if I want this years. Let me know what you think about the 2007 valentine’s nike at kristy@oneighty.com

Another reason that I love February so much is because March Madness is around the corner and I can start scoping out the picks for my bracket. As of right now, I am picking Wisconsin to go all the way. My dad graduated from Wisconsin University, so it would be cool to see that happen. Well, enough about basketball and have a great valentines day.

New Years and the AMAZING RACE 22 December 2006

I love New Years. I love fresh beginnings and new starts. I love making resolutions, watching the ball drop, and Dick Clark’s rocking new year’s specials. It is awesome to think of all the things that happened in 2006. I married Nathan in 2006. I started working at Oneighty in 2006, and a ton of other cool things. Looking back and seeing all that God has done in my life so far makes me excited about 2007. That’s my rant about new years.

Have you ever seen the Amazing Race? The Amazing Race 10 just finished up its last episode. This is one show that I can just get hooked on. First, how awesome would it be to travel all over the world with your best friend? I would take Nathan, incase, you were wondering. Second, the contestants get to do things that are so out of the ordinary, for example, they drove a tank, scaled down a building, and rode camels. I think I like the Amazing Race better then other reality shows because, you don’t get “voted off”. It is up to you and your partner to push the limits to come up with a win. The next season of the amazing race is going to be an “all-star” show- the best of the best, and you better believe I’ll be watching.

Kickboxing, Fireworks, & Christmas Music 17 November 2006

I just started this kickboxing class. It’s a really great work out and it makes me feel powerful and strong. When I’m at the class, I think of myself as someone who is in the street fighter game or mortal combat. Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone came to my class and saw my skills and asked me to join their street gang? Then I could say “no I don’t roll that way. I only punch and kick bags, but thanks anyways.”

Last night I saw fireworks. You might be thinking, how old is this blog anyways, fireworks? At the Jenks Bridge there were fireworks to kickoff the Oklahoma Centennial. November 16, 2007, will mark the 100th year of Oklahoma’s state hood and Oklahoma is celebrating the whole year until it comes. It was really different to experience fireworks when it was cold out. Nathan and I parked our car at Starbucks, watched the cool light show, and then enjoyed a delicious Hot Carmel Apple Cider. Those drinks are amazing… if you have never tried one, I would highly recommend it. My husband hates coffee, so therefore cannot understand my love for Starbucks, but even HE likes the Hot Carmel Apple Cider.

As you know Christmas is around the corner. Time to get out your favorite Christmas Music. My favorite Christmas CD has got to be The Muppets: A Christmas Together. I love it when Miss Piggy sings, Five golden rings. Still to this day my family groans when I pull out the old record, dust it off, and begin to play that beautiful music. My family does own the record of it, that’s how old it is, but if has come out on CD. Probably because this record will never go out of style.

Have a great week!
Can’t wait to see you at Oneighty-
