mox·ie / ˈmäksē/
• n. inf. force of character, determination, or nerve: when you've got moxie, you need the clothes to match.
The noun has one meaning:
Meaning #1: (informal) fortitude and determination
Synonyms: backbone, grit, guts, sand, gumption
I know Moxie is defined as a noun but if you ask me Moxie is more of a VERB because Moxie is so totally an action word! It's time to re-write the Dictionary Merrian and Webster...just sayin...
I was asked to host Moxie Mona (in Oklahoma) as she treks across the country and shares her virtual road trips-Mona is a jet-setter as you can see below, racking up those frequent flyer miles as she makes stops across the US.
Mona had a wonderful time in Oklahoma-before we get started on what mona saw and did, here are a few facts about my great state:
- Oklahoma became a state in 1907
- Oklahoma has 55 distinct Native American tribes
- Before Oklahoma was a state it was known as Indian territory
- Oklahoma has more man-made lakes than any other state
- Oklahomas State flower is Mistletoe
- Oklahoma summers are HOT and HUMID
Moxie Mona Visits Oklahoma
She went to her first OU Sooners game but due to security levels/measures for the stadium she was restricted to stay dry(lucky girl) and watch from the truck-she wasn't alone as you can see
She had a BLAST at the BA Tigers game
She cheered them on from the stands
Mona had a comfy seat to cheer on her fav HS football team(Eric has Moxie too)
Mona had a great time at Tiger field
It just hapened to be rockin rib fest while Mona was in town: Downtown Tulsa
There was a comic convention in town as well, the nerdies in my life attended: I couldn't convince my shaggy headed son to carry around a wonder woman doll at a comic convention-I have OBVIOUSLY failed him as a parent...because he apparently had no issues with this big brown blob
Moxie Mom could take him

ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and I will have prayer for all of you!
I'm sorry about your dad, and about OU winning...oops, I mean, the weather during the OU game.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Lawton...well no I'm not, I'm near Lawton but you've never heard of my town.
Looks like Moxie had fun!!!
ReplyDeleteWill keep you dad in our prayers - do keep us posted on him!
Moxie had fun! Keeping your Daddy in my prayers! Hey, if we get a chance, I want to get Kaybrie and your daughter together either at the parade or the game-very cute pic they will both be in their uniform! Future/Current-love it, btw, my boy ran out on the field w/ the big boys last week, he's hoping for the same this week!
ReplyDeleteI saw your e-mail about your Dad, Georgie. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You are so very sweet to even think to send me an e-mail during a time like this in your life.
ReplyDeletePlease don't give something like Mona a second thought. You did an utterly fabulous job with this post. Things like commenting and the blogosphere in general go on the back-burner when family calls.
We'll always be here when you get back. Thank you for playing along. You are such a wonderful friend.
Praying for your Dad too!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the Mona pictures and the Oklahoma info. You really did do a great job with this post!
Looks like she had a fantastic time.....now I hope she had a sonic burger....!
ReplyDeleteMona looks like she had an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteYour dad is in my prayers.
I'm praying for your dad! get home soon!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Mona had a great time. I could use some of that BBQ in one of the pictures. ;) Thanks for taking her around town! Mona is one well-traveled woman!
We're praying for you Dad.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing how has Moxie besides Mona. She's been getting all the attention lately and I think it's going to her head. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry. That would be WHO has Moxie.
ReplyDeleteI bet she ate all the ribs she wanted and didn't gain an ounce of weight.
ReplyDeletePraying for your Dad.
Moxie is a great ADJECTIVE. You have definitely got it. Thinking of you and your Dad.
ReplyDeleteMona has healing powers too. I will be praying for your dad.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little confused. Since when is Wonder Woman called Mona?
ReplyDeleteSounds like she had fun, though.
I'll be thinking of your dad. Take care.
I love it! You sure showed Mona a great time : ) I especially love your Grandma! How sweet is she? She just made my whole night brighter. Grandmas are the best kind of people on the planet!
ReplyDeleteI came over to follow Mona.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll be saying a prayer for your father.I hope he is better soon.
Hi Georgie--
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with your Dad-he will be in our
prayers. Take care of yourself too.
Moxie has "Moxie"
Love it!!
Melinda
I'd like to come visit during ribfest!
ReplyDeleteOk, dangit. You take Moxie everywhere but not Flat Baloney? What gives??
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Mona's adventures with us! Your dad is in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your dad! I hope he'll be okay!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post...looks like Mona had a great time with you all in Oklahoma! Did she get to eat any ribs??
Mona in pictures is FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteHope your daddy is doing better.
Obviously, Mona had a blast, but I have to say I'm disappointed she is not wearing a helmet in the first picture. Mona, you have to be more careful. Well, she is a superhero maybe her head is already protected.
ReplyDeleteI hope for grace and mercy for your father in his time of need.
ReplyDeleteStop by when you can.
Email me too.
No rush though.
Be good to yourself.
Oy vey, I am so exasperated with the Asian spammers right now. At least let me READ the shit you post! :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't I see Mona on Tiffany, Heather, and Lula's trip?!
Sorry to hear about your dad. Good luck!
you all are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!!!
ReplyDeletetake care!!!!!!
I wish you health and happiness every day!
ReplyDeleteIch wunsche Ihnen Gluck und Gesundheit jeden Tag!
Je vous souhaite sante et bonheur chaque jour!
