I ain't in Checotah anymore

So I'm walking down the street in Mong Kok today...For those who don't know Mong Kok is the most densely populated place in the world. and for some reason I chose to live there. So anyways, I'm walking down the street dodging people and listening to my Ipod. Random shuffle of songs and a Carrie Underwood song comes on. "I Aint in Checotah Anymore." Even though I didn't grow up in a small town, I still grew up in Middle America, which has a Small town feel pretty much anywhere you go and this song totally fit what I was feeling at that moment.

Where 69 meets 40, there's a single stop light town,
And back when I was really young, A part of that burned down.
On any given Friday night, we'd drive a hundred miles between the Sonic and the grocery store,
Laughing all the while, with as many friends as I could pack, in my daddy's Ford.
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.

My hotel in Manhattan, holds more people than our town,
And what I just paid for dinner, would be a down payment on a house,
I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa, than hailing cabs here in New York,
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.

I'm in a world so wide, it makes me feel small sometimes,
I miss the big blue skies, the Oklahoma kind.

In a world of long red carpets, the bright lights of Hollywood,
All the paparazzi flashing, could make a girl feel pretty good,
You can get anything you want here, except a Wal-Mart store,
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.

I'm in a world so wide, it makes me feel small sometimes,
I miss the big blue skies, the Oklahoma kind.

Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads, old Settler's day and the Okrafest,
After prom, down at the bowling lanes, catching crappie fish in Eufaula lake,
I ain't in Checotah anymore.

I'm in a world so wide, it makes me feel small sometimes,
I miss the big blue skies, the Oklahoma kind,
But I ain't in Checotah, No I ain't in Checotah,
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma.

Where 69 meets 40, there's a single stoplight town.

Frosty Conversation

So I do a lot on my Facebook Page and have been ignoring my blog. How truly sad that is. For those of you who are faithful Blog readers, I apologize.

Last night, I went to a seminar at my church and the speaker showed a video clip with a guy holding a Wendy's cup. This made me really want to have a Frosty. Of course being in Honkers, I can't get one...So, I just listed it on my status. This morning when I checked facebook, the following were the responses. I thought it was pretty funny.

Kate Moore is wanting a Frosty from Wendy's

frosty's are soft!!!!

Elizabeth at 12:49am April 3

Yummmmmmm!

One part chocolate soy milk, one part ice cream, blend. It's almost the same.

Sarah at 2:45am April 3

why would you waste the money on soy milk only to add ice cream? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of buying the expensive soy?

Kate... do you remember when Mom bought Microshakes? Frozen things that you actually microwaved to soften before you ate. Those were amazing.

Cliff at 2:54am April 3

Soy milk's not expensive in China ;)

Emily at 3:27am April 3

Wow, I remember the Microshakes! That is crazy.

Becky at 9:10am April 3

is that how you make a frosty? sweet- I have soy in my fridge.
we had micro shakes too as I remember it wasn't that the taste was all that amazing just the shear joy of microwaving it and watching it become your shake
