Marie - this one's for you!!

Marie - I'm TOTALLY getting you this for your birthday!!!

Super silly

I was playing on the internet this morning - procrastinating. I should have been taking a shower and/or cleaning my kitchen before heading to work ... instead I happened upon this site. Look what I made!!

I'm not sure why it has all that border stuff on there, but his face makes me laugh.

On a totally different note - isn't it funny how you can push someone away for so long - and when you give them a chance, they're more than you thought they could be? I need to be totally better about that...

Holy Cow!!!

This has to be one of the most amazing horses I have EVER seen! I have never seen a grand prix dressage horse who is THIS athletic! His passage and piaffe are both SO suspended. His extended trot - he doesn't get strung out, and his rider does an AWESOME job of keeping his back legs underneath him. I couldn't watch this video enough. Sorry for you non-riders, or non-dressage people out there. This is too too amazing. I will do this one day!!

Dressage- Andreas Helgstrand

I think I need to 'oxynegate' my blood too!

This might be one of the FUNNIEST things I've seen in a long time...wow...

A Finished Project!

I finished my 'cable ready bag' just now! Man, that pattern was HARD to understand for attaching the handles - but other than that, it was SO EASY and very fast!

I like the way it came out - super cute. However, I don't know how functional it is going to be. It is hard to get into the purse with a whole hand. I think it'll be ok after I use it some. I am sad to say how much I LOVE that yarn, even though it is lion brand!

In other news, I got some SUPER exciting information today - will post more on that once it is official and public. :)

What a week!

I am TOTALLY not trying to complain - but it's been kind of a rough week!

Last night, I had the most severe migraine I have EVER had - I was 30 min from home and had to drive home like that. I am not sure how I did it. All I know is that I slept the entire night with my head on the biggest ice pack ever made. I woke up, and it's mostly gone - thank God!

Tonight - I have my first test in my organic chemistry II class of the semester. I am pretty nervous. It's over 4 chapters. I'm really comfortable with 15 and 16, and the first 1/3 of 17, but the rest of 17 and 18 - not so sure about. So I'm asking ALL of you to send positive thoughts my way tonight from 6:30-7:45 CST.

After my test, I am going to be in the lab alone for a few hours to make up for the lab I had to miss on Tuesday for my Director's Club Award Ceremony. After THAT, I'm heading to the barn to ride. It's going to be a long day - but it's more than 1/2 over, so it'll be alright.

Tomorrow, I have a "one-on-one" with my boss - not looking forward to that. We don't especially get along, and I'm so fed up, I might actually speak my mind in the meeting. We'll see....

Saturday - oh, BLESSED Saturday! Saturday will be my 1st day off since February 15. I can HARDLY WAIT! Woo hoo! Yeah - I have no plans, but that is not unusual. I don't really do stuff anymore. Who knew I would be so excited about a day off when all I will get to do is hang out with my cats. SO LAME - another excellent reason I am considering moving at the middle to end of this year. We'll see.

Anyway, totally lame post, I know - but I needed a study break. Sorry!
