We don't get bored... we get busy.

I stand corrected. Corrected at the lameness that I used to think of as Tulsa. I'm not going to lie. I wasn't thrilled about moving to Tulsa two months ago. I grew up two hours south of the city, but my only real memories of it were the blinding sunlight on the interstate, toll roads, and a vague recollection of the zoo and Tulsa University housing. For some reason, and I'm not sure why, I had tagged Tulsa as a pretty boring place. I was wrong. Here is a list of some of the completely un-lame things my husband and I have been up to since the move:

1.) Snuck into a Paint Horse show at the expo center, got to check out some spectacularly sparkly chaps, "ooo"ed and "awww"ed at the ponies, had allergy attacks, and both stepped in horse poop.

2.) Sought out Will Rogers State Park, drove an hour out of the way to find out it had been closed for 25 years, and then stumbled across Will Rogers' birth place and petting zoo. More poop.

3.) Found the one and only BBQ joint in Tulsa that serves sweet tea... and it is magnificent.

4.) Established our very first tradition as a married couple: Donuts from Merritt's Bakery every Saturday morning, without fail.

5.) Have regularly taken our dogs to TWO different dogs parks. Cold noses abound.

6.) Have had no less than 3 snowball fights.

7.) Ate the very best meal of my life at the Palace Cafe.

8.) Paid $5 to check out a rockin' antiques show, complete with awesome old beer signs.

9.) Lost $40 at an Indian Casino is two minutes flat.

10.) Found the Tulsa Trolley and Scooby, our permanent designated driver and trippy music extrodinaire.

11.) Stumbled across a kickball league AND a dodgeball league.

12.) Joined a "Young Professionals" group... since we are both "young" and "professional," technically.

13.) Soaped a fountain in the nicest shopping district in Tulsa.

14.) Had a beer at the oldest bar in Oklahoma.

15.) Went to the zoo, ate zoo food, heckled zoo animals, and got nasty "zoo" stares from concerned parents.

16.) Discovered the badassness that is QT Coffee.
