Have a Boost!

After the last couple days of house drama, I needed a good musical boost end of the week style. This is a fun upbeat song with some great overlay, that all but SFL will enjoy! ;-) As far as updates go: No house yet, but a couple options may be available; we have to be out of the house by August 26th (it's not worth fighting the landlord over the extra time); I am going on at least part of my vacation; I am checking out other options...I'll keep you updated!!!

My Rant

1. 30 days has never felt so short.

2. I hate the thought of moving into an appartment complex. As in it makes me want to poke my eyes out, and possibly nash my teeth (however you do that).

3. I know in 30 years I'll look back and think how stupid I was to stress about this.

4. I know in 30 seconds I'm going to want to cry, binge on strawberry ice cream, and watch some random chick-flick while ignoring my problems...including my propencity to eat ice cream...

5. There are to many choices in life...

6. I hate making decisions - as in I would rather do anything else.

7. I'm bad about procrastinating.

8. Hmmm is there a good movie on tonight?

9. Who wants sausage, gravy, and biscits?

10. Oh, wait...where was I...oh, yeah procrastinating - it's bad for you - although not as bad as smoking is...just saying...

11. I don't think I even have the energy for 12.

12. Maybe I'll just move to Michigan, or how about move in with the parents? SFL would be excited, then terrified.

Well, I do feel slightly better after that. Thanks for listening.

It has begun...

30 days hath September April May June November..

all the rest have 31

except for February with 28 and leap year which has 29

Ah - the story of my life...As of today we have 30 days to move. Ten days or so of those 30 I was going to spend traveling to see family and SFL/WOT. Personally I'm not a fan of sacrificing my vacation because the house owner has finally after two years got his act together! *sigh*

Where are you going to live you ask? Well, it's like I told Torque this morning as he was whining a throwing a puppy fit. "If you don't hush and lay down for your nap so mommy can look for houses you will be living next to the river in tent city!"

As you can see I was kind of throwing a fit back...c'est la vie (such is life) - mmm and on a side rant, can I just say that French makes no sense!! They are always writing things one way, and saying them another. I mean if you want to add and subtract letters to words when said why not just spell them that way? "Zat es just not don" *Humph*...I'm going to stop now...And go back to house hunting...and/or practicing my tent pitching skills!

P.S. Thanks for listening to my rant!!

Mumumumumusic Monday!

I apologize for the lateness in Music Monday, but I haven't been feeling well today. I started getting a cold yesterday afternoon, and it's just been getting worse today. I took a Benadryl to make sure it wasn't just an allergy issue (not that I normally have allergies), which only made me more tired. I think my trip to the store for some necessities was a blur!! Needless to say though - here is some Schlock for your Monday!

The case of the leg

What might you ask happened to your leg? Good question I would reply! However, I will not be telling you until next Monday. Until that time please feel free to release you inner creative spirit with some guesses as to the origin of my injuries...

On a side note: no comments on my paleness.

Watch out behind!

When my alarm went off at 4:30 this morning I was regretting my decision to hit the barn at 5:30 for a morning ride. On work days I get up about that time, but during the week I at least sleep until 5:30-6. I threw on my riding gear, fed the pup, and loaded us all in the car for the forty minute drive there. I distance I have to drive to get to the farm is the major downside to this whole arrangement, but it's worth it. By the time we got there we watched the sun rise as we tacked up, and enjoyed the feel of earth waking up for the day. I brought Torque along with me, and he and Rocky (Julia's dog) were in puppy heaven. We weren't sure how Torque would do with me being on a horse. He did great!!! He ran right along with us, and played with Rocky. He had to learn that "watch out" means you're in front of me, and I'm going to run you over; while "Ah Ah Ah - Leave it" means you're too close to the back end. He did end up taking a little kick towards the end of our ride, as both dogs were wrestling, and bumped Skipper my horse in the back. Oh well, no broken bones, and he'll learn not to do that again!! ;-)

Overall we had so much fun! I will confess that I rode English this time which is not my strongest seat, and I looked bad. I will be working on it - definitely. My posting with a trot sucks, because I'm use to Western where you sit your trots. I'm also use to having a lot more saddle under me, haha, I guess that means I'll have to strengthen my seat. It's so nice to be back in the saddle!!! Julia decided that when she adopts her Premarin horse (foals born to mares that are bred to harvest their hormones that women take) I'll adopt my mustang, and we'll leave happily ever after.

Anyway here are some pictures, and next time I'll get Julia to get ones of me on Skipper.

Back to Monday

I must say, after horseback riding for an hour and a half my pelvic bones are soreeee. It was worth it though! Aside from being much to hot it was wonderful to ride through the woods. I can't wait until Torque is behaved enough to run along with us, and Julia's dogs.

Otherwise, I am still looking for a new place to live. The current house remains on the market with plenty of views. It's quite frustrating honestly. We found this place so perfectly that to not have that happen again is hard. Trying to make decisions about buying vs. renting, and staying here vs. moving away sometimes seem overwhelming. However, I think that things will work out in time - we'll just have to see where the dice fall! On that note - enjoy music Monday!!

Love me some House

I felt in a music Monday mood!! Enjoy!

Pee-wee

Step 1: Start peeing on freshly vacuumed floor.

Step 2: Walk down the clean floors dribbling as you go. (I swear it looks like artwork)

Step 3: Finally get to were mom finds you and stop to finish out puddle style.

Thank goodness for paper towel and carpet cleaner...Also, thank you God for a voice with which to yell...I really wasn't yelling at him as much as expressing my frustration. If I do say so my self, I handled it well - I didn't freak out on him. I just took him tethered him in the living room so he'd stop walking all over it, and went to clean it up. I swear sometimes he does it on purpose!

Welcome July!

Since I will be working this weekend, and doubt that I'll have time to get on and post, I just wanted to say happy 4th of July!

The weather has taken a wonderful turn with decreased humidity, and highs in the 80s. If July stays like this it will be the most perfect summer month!!!

The 4th is one of my favorite holidays, and once again I'm working it...I've decided not to celebrate holidays haha. Actually I feel like I've worked almost every holiday since I got out of school. Still and all, I've got to love a good patriotic celebration! It's a fun event where you enjoy family, friends, and great out door food. Not to mention war movies galore...I just can't help myself, I'm a sucker for a good John Wayne movie!! Hopefully, although I will be working this weekend you will be having fun, and eating a burger for me.
