And the sign says…

Last year, we bought my Jeep before we headed to the Mrs. International Pageant in Chicago. Because we don’t believe in credit cards, it’s been difficult to rent a big vehicle each year with a debit card. David didn’t want to see a melt down at the airport again so he bought me the Commander.

The first thing I noticed was the BIG back window. “Marketing space,” it said to me. So I contacted my twitter friend Jason, to get a sign put on the back window.

When we got to Chicago, my car made it onto the Pageant Cast’s facebook page before a photo of Mrs. Oklahoma did.

Well, as of July 31st, I am no longer the director of the Mrs. Oklahoma International Pageant. So it was time to remove the sign.

It was pretty easy to use a razor blade to remove the sign.

Then some nail polish remover to remove the sticky stuff and some Windex and…

Voila!

Turn the page.

Muscogee Daughter – review

I read the book Muscogee Daughter on the plane to Singapore. It didn’t last the entire 15 hours!  What a terrific book. 🙂

As the director of the Mrs. Oklahoma International pageant, I hear stories of courage and self-healing all the time from my titleholders. This story was just like that.

Susan Supernaw was Miss Oklahoma 1971. She came from a background of abuse and poverty to succeed in life as a cheerleader, presidential scholar and Miss Oklahoma.  The story follows her journey through a rough childhood to the Miss America pageant. I particularly enjoyed reading about her Indian heritage and her spiritual awareness.

I first read a review of this book in the Oklahoman and knew I wanted to read it. It was as good as they said and I could not allow myself to sleep on the plane until it was finished.

If you like a story of personal achievement and strength of character, you will like this book and I highly recommend it!
