"Now that we've come...to the end of the road..."

Well it's official...Friday night was the last game Pioneer will play in 8-Man Class B high school football for at least the next 2 years. OSSAA has moved us up to 11-Man and placed us in Class A. We are the smallest school in the class, regardless of district, so we are figuring we'll pretty much have our butts handed to us for the next 2 years. Although you never know....Cinderella stories do happen on occasion. *L* It almost happened for Enid High last year. Anyways, our final 8-Man game was against the Cherokee Chiefs and after a few nail-biting instances where it looked like Cherokee was going to win (keep in mind that Cherokee's entire student body is, like, 30 students...okay, a mild exaggeration but not by much)...the Mustangs finally pulled it out and won the game. Also, this is the first year since 1991 that Pioneer hasn't been in the Class B play-offs. *sigh* This group of kids has no "killer instincts" when it comes to sports. They're very uninvolved and show very little competition in anything at all. Gone are the days of Scroat and JoJo tearing up the field and Brody playing with so much hardware on his knee that they undressed him at least twice a game right there on the field to adjust his brace. No more Dusty wearing the "Ugly Shoe" for kick-offs and JJ and Garrett wearing "grandpa-style" black socks for luck. Those were fun games. Ah well....into the future of Pioneer football.

Favorite quote from a Pioneer football game: Brody had the ball and was running it up the field, the Coach for the other team was yelling at his players that were trailing behind Brody, "THAT BOY'S ONLY GOT ONE LEG AND HE'S BEATING YOU!!!" *ROTFLOL* Refering, of course, to Brody's knee brace.

"Happy, Happy, happy birthday...

...happy, happy, happy birthday....happy, happy, happy birthday...to you, to you, to you...Old Lady!!" *ROTFLOL* I just couldn't resist that one!

Happy Birthday Mamie Lynn!! Hope your day was a blast!!

Hugbies!!!!!!

"What do you say...at a moment like this..."

There's only one thing to say.....

Happy Birthday Nanny Buns....I love you and I always will. I miss you...and I always will.

Whoever is with you....Give 'em hell Old Woman!!

"Yeah I can be myself here in this small town..."

Today we embarked on a small project that we came up with...photographs of Enid. *LOL* It may sound a bit boring but we actually have some pretty interesting architecture around town and some pretty interesting "areas of interest". *L* Sorry about the repeat there, I didn't know how else to put it. Anyways, once I get all the photos (digital of course) ready and captioned I'll upload them to a Fotki site and let everyone know the address. Could be you'll find something that catches your fancy in "this small town"!

And I'll stop writing about Heroes for now (I'll keep those thoughts in emails to Aunt Cawnin) but I AM still interested in the new season of TV. I'm hooked (of course) on "Dancing With The Stars" and I think my current favorite is Helio Castroneves - he's a good dancer and such a cute and charming personality - I hope he wins! Another vice is "Dirty Sexy Money" - Trip is a trip! *LOL* The show is quite bizarre but funny and actually well-written (in my opinion). We are also watching "Cane" for now. A very different show in some ways, sometimes trying a little too hard but I think it may be getting better - we'll have to see. We gave "Pushing Daisies" a try and I'm thinking not. The narrator annoys the snot out of me and not just with his giving the exact hours, minutes, and seconds of everything and everyone - just his constant interruptions and his voice annoy me. We also tried "Reaper" and found the first episode very funny but the second not so much. We're still going to give it more of a try though. We found that we were not at all interested in "The Bionic Woman" - that girl will never be Jamie Sommers to me and I'm not even sure they gave her all the right parts - didn't they change something or other??

So now it's your turn. What are you watching, if anything, from the new season?? What are you watching from the previous season?? What do you hope will make it and what do you hope or think will tank?? "These are just a few questions I have..." *LOL*

"And then a hero comes along...with the strength to carry on..."

WOW!! *L* Honestly..."Heroes" just keeps getting better. Claire totally grossed me out with her toe...but at least now she knows for sure. I just wish she would have looked up when Mr. Muggles started jumping and looking to the sky....I'm sure her new friend was flying right above her. *LOL* And at least we know Peter hasn't lost his powers...although before he had to remember the person to manifest the power...now he apparently doesn't have to do that. And he also apparently absorbed DL's ability to phase through things (the ropes on his wrists) and Jessica's super strength (throwing the guy almost through the wall). Peter is going to be VERY interesting! And Mohinder found the Haitian!!! Well, actually the "Company" did, but Mohinder saved him and made it possible to reunite him with Claire's father. Woohoo! The Haitian is back and his powers still work too!

And on to the questions...

WHAT in the world (or not in the world) was attacking Mrs. Petrelli????? It was almost like the invisible man had returned but he didn't hate any of them that I know of. And do you believe the Honduran twins????? Apparently her tears are like the plague and yet he can absorb them and heal whoever she kills - if he wants to, I presume, since he didn't heal any of the people on the truck. No wonder she's afraid to be away from him.

And just exactly HOW did Kensei heal himself from the arrow wounds and come back to life??? Did Hiro have something to do with it?? Toto is once again confused but totally intrigued! And Nikki/Jessica and Micah come back next week....maybe DL too, didn't see him on the preview though. Argh!! This show is totaly awesome and it totally drives me insane trying to figure it all out! But I'll be right there next week...ready for more!! *LOL*

"So when you feel that hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you"

"I need a hero...I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night..."

The season premiere of "Heroes" was last night and it was AWESOME!!!! *L* Poor Hiro...always a strange place at a strange time. And what is up with Nathan's beard?? If he's trying to hide I'd say he was doing a pretty good job of it! *L* And WHAT is up with Peter?? Toto-ly confused there. I'm glad Claire's father finally stood up for himself with that nerdy little manager of his - that was excellent. I miss Jessica/Nikki and Micah and his father though...can't wait to see what's going on with them. I do hope they teach the girl from Honduras some English soon...subtitles can be very distracting. And what in the world is the little "tracker/finder" girl seeing in her dreams?? Looks like it could be quite gruesome and evil. And who killed off Mr. Sulu???? Nathan and Peter's mother better watch her back but good!

"Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be larger than life..."

I love that song! *LOL*

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

"Happy birthday dear Suesuuuuuuuuue...happy birthday to you!!!!" And MANY mooooooooooooooooooooooooore!!!! *LOL* Hope you have a GREAT day!! Lots of loves and hugs and SNOOTCHIES!!!!!! *G*

And one more...*ahem*..."Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Snoooook....don't let Nell be mean to you!!" *LOL* Happy Birthday Diddy! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Your cards are in the mail...for real!! *L*
