1. The Boy is scared of Old Balls.

5. The Sun is 7 trillion times stronger in my Mom's yard.
6. My Mom is funny when she has a few drinks.

11. If your head falls off, it thuds, not splatters...see Modge and my mom for details...
12. I will get sun burned riding in the back of a pick-up for 3 minutes
13. It is possible to get dirt in places you never dreamed you could

Oh jeez...

I've dropped the ball on this thing...

Stuff has been nuts, get over it.

Things I've decided since last time:

1. I do not have enough time in the day to get things done that I want to.
2. Even if I did have enough time, where would I get the money?
3. The dumber people think you are the more surprised they are when you kill them.
4. It's funny when someone calls someone else a "skin puller" in Spanish, even if it is an inside joke.
5. There is no point in hating someone, because they either don't know you hate them or don't care.
6. Doug loves chair rails.
7. The smartest person you know will do the dumbest things you have have ever seen.
8. I hate chickens.
9. I think I don't care for cats anymore either.
10. Birdie is out to get me.
11. Boat is perfect.  (I knew that before, but it can always be said again.)
12. There is nothing better than making a friend smile when they are sad.
13. Old cat puke smells just as bad when it gets smeared on you.
14. Those woman in India are wearing little MooMoos...funny since cows are sacred...
15. Anyone who doesn't eat red meat cannot be trusted.

Ok...I am completly drained...so tired...burning the candle at both ends...

Anyone want to go ride Bird for me?

I also need more Supermodels...Pickles rocked it out last weekend, and he and his mom should be ultra proud of themselves...(see pics on my horseshow page)

If anyone else wants to be subject to my trigger finger...let me know!

Also...Birdzilla really needs a shareboarder...I just don't have time for all these critters!

AND...anyone who's been talking to my lovely brother...No, I didn't wear a helmet in school as a child...maybe I should have...

I'm done babbling now....

Alright!  So my filly officially has a new mommy...yay!  I think she is going to be great for her.  Although, it's rather bittersweet, cause I wish I could have kept her. 

Anyhow, join my mafia...I am obsessed with the My Space game...grrr...just what I need, another obsession...

The Saturday after next...which would be the Saturday after yesterday...July 26th...got it?  Birdzilla and I are going to a horse show, for the sole purpose of going in two flat classes of which we are going to lose.  It's a reining show, where I will be riding the heavy draft cross (who look more like a big fat Rhino now more than ever...) english.  Yep...gonna lose...but I will have something to do and spend some much needed QT with Bird.  Anyone else up for checking it out? Let me know....

Well, I rode the new filly today.  She's fantastical. 

I do believe that she is dreams of curling up in someones lap and being their lap dog.

Afterward, I rode the always mind boggling Boaty Boat.  Over this summer she has been moving great, and seems to be enjoying our rides.  She's tearing around like she thinks she's 2 again.  For an older horse, seeing her act like this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.  She may be getting older, but she's still the same old OCD moron she's always been.  However, one thing I love about her is that she NEVER EVER spooks, the ceiling could cave in, and she'll think nothing of it...but don't put her dumping you if she feels spry past her...or so I thought.

So here we are, doing flying lead changes and figure 8's around the arena, both of us are fat so were sweating like pigs.  Once we decided enough was enough, we both just relaxed and walked sluggishly around the ring.  Now, when we cool off, she goes into auto pilot, and I go into human backpack mode.
1. Drop stirrups.
2. Take off helmet.
3. Drop my reins, usually holding them with one finger on the buckle.
Yep, I know, horses are unpredictable, and I should not drop my guard, but this is Boat, puhleeze...

Anyway, about the fifth lap around, I am comtemplating getting to the front of the ring and hosing Boat off.  Now if the arena is a clock, we are going counter clockwise, the out gate being at 5 o'clock, us being at about 1, so we have 12-6 to go.  Out of the corner of my eye, I see one of the Middle Dwellers (the horse people of the middle barn) walking with something...thought nothing of it.

Then I hear a load bang, like someone throwing something into a metal wall.  I then feel my horse come out from under me, with my head smacking hard onto the top of her rear-end.  We then proceed at a full-out scared-out-of-her-freaking-witts Boaty Boat Gallop around the arena.  Now I got flipped backwards, my head it inches above her butt, I have no stirrups or reins, and my calves are lock on her neck in a death grip.  I am yelling Whoa...

I am proud to announce, I am alive and well and I STAYED ON!  YAY ME!  Amazingly enough, I was laughing.

I LOVE MY LITTLE PONY.

Alright people...

I am working on figuring all this stuff out.  My little brain is melting.  Mainly I am testing everything out, one of these days I will get it nice and organized.  At the same time, let's face it, I am not organized.  I am always in a spin...like a freaking tornado running around.

So here is what's up:

Holy freaking gas prices!  Here I am with four vehicles all 8 cylinder gas hogs.  Ok enough of that.

I am looking for share boarders on both my horses.  I just plain don't have the time lately that they need from me.  So if anyone is interested or knows someone who might like the ride of their life...let me know!  My little darlings need a friend.

The Boy and I have the same job, in the same company, in the same department...those poor people have no idea what they are in for.  Other than the fact that they have the two greatest people on the planet working for them.

Alright...I got nothin...
