Things that make me uncontrollably happy… coffee, traveling, warm weather, and, I can’t lie, Sooner football. Yes, it’s true. I’m pretty much addicted and attend every game I can.  My family, friends and I tailgate for every home game and I just got tickets to the OU vs. BYU game at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium on September 5th.  Pretty darn excited.

Since that game is 30 days, 7 hours, and 16 minutes away (but who’s counting?), here are some things that would be super sweet to check out this weekend:

Hunky Australian Keith Urban and dynamic duo Sugarland will be in concert on Friday night at the BOK Center.  Go check him, err, them out for only $20.

If you’re a fan of Mel Brooks (and you really should be), you must go see his musical “The Producers” at the Civic Center Music Hall now through Saturday.  It’s just about as off the wall as Brooks and will have you holding your sides with laughter!

Here’s a FREE event just for you!  The Summer Twilight Concert Series continues this Sunday night at the Myriad Botanical Gardens and starts at 7 p.m.  Enjoy live music and the beautiful gardens with your friends and family.

Happy Thursday!
