I Got Moxie How 'bout You

Defined as:
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







Proving 'they have moxie'

My confession for today: daddy was admitted to the Hospital yesterday(Mon) Please keep him in your prayers and as soon as I can, I pinky swear promise to be by all your blogs-but for today I will be at the hospital, forgive my comment absence please...

  11. 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!

  12. I 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.

    Please 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.

  19. I bet she ate all the ribs she wanted and didn't gain an ounce of weight.

    Praying for your Dad.

  20. Moxie is a great ADJECTIVE. You have definitely got it. Thinking of you and your Dad.

  21. Mona has healing powers too. I will be praying for your dad.

  22. I'm a little confused. Since when is Wonder Woman called Mona?

    Sounds like she had fun, though.

    I'll be thinking of your dad. Take care.

  23. 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!

    But I'll be saying a prayer for your father.I hope he is better soon.

  30. Mona in pictures is FUN!!!

    Hope your daddy is doing better.

  31. 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.

  32. I hope for grace and mercy for your father in his time of need.

    Stop by when you can.

    Email me too.

    No rush though.

    Be good to yourself.
