How cool is this "smiling" saw fish? I went to the Dallas World Aquarium in early March. Had to be at my yearly Oklahoma work conference and took a Saturday to spend the day in Dallas. Lots of fun.
Why a sloth is housed in an aquarium I have no idea! Cute.
Absolutely don't touch the sloth! Wouldn't he be too lazy to react? Ha

Cat Woman

Poor woman. Reportedly she had cosmetic surgery to make her look like a cat. The reason? An attempt to attract her cheating husband...who loves big cats.
Want to sleep with her?

PEOPLE Finally Gets It Right

I am convinved the good staff at People Magazine are sane after all.

Hugh Jackman is the latest Sexiest Man Alive.

Geez..could have told you that long ago...

But I do appreciate the photo spread

Yes, women's jaws are dropping..

Boyfriends and husbands are looking a little less attractive...

;-)

Drink in the view ladies

Cool Elephant Painting

Let me tell you something...

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...

neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience,

and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd,
take a look back every now and then
to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back in.
12. "Once, after eating an entire bull,
a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him."

The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

and

most importantly

13. NEVER squat with your spurs on!

Oklahoma Business/Vacation Trip

I'm off to my annual trip to Oklahoma.
The flight was frightening as we took off in a thunderstorm.
Actually saw lightening once in flight.
Are they suppose to take off in such circumstances?!
Anyway, what would a trip to OK be without (yet another) stop at the Art Museum?
Above is the large sculpture Dale Chihuly designed.
I may have told you before, his wife is from OK,
so he dedicated a permanent exhibit here.
Sweet, eh?

These purple glass rods are implanted within the real tree log.
This is one of my favorite pieces.

This is another favorite. It looks like the giant flowers in "Whoville"

by Dr. Seuss.

This is a lovely sculpture of Cherubim and a dove

Who knows what this is? Just thought is was different
from Chihuly's other pieces.

A classic example of Chihuly's bowls, or clamshells

The gorgeous hallway with the glass art in the ceiling.
The ceiling at the Bellagio in Las Vegas was done this way
by Chihuly also

This chandelier is designed by Chihuly, and made with
Waterford crystal....Nice

Have to take a trip to the Museum's store.
You can buy a small Chihuly bowl for $6000
Any takers?!

We stopped by the Museum cafe and had tea and dessert.
I had Creme Brulee while my sister (holding cup) had
3 samples of homemade ice cream and a crispy cookie.

On the way home, we stopped by the Memorial.
It's very well done and moving.

I spent a lot of time with my sister and her family, including a niece and nephew. We laughed and carried on like only sisters can!
