Its a Fire!!

We finally decided to do a few formal shots. Forgive the bad braids... he's not the biggest fan of having his hair pulled on. Hopefully... video to come soon.

Monkey Butt

The origin of this problem is the ass crack. Once sweaty it begins to get itchy, like you did not wipe well enough. After it gets unbearable you begin to scratch like crazy, and shortly thereafter your whole ass feels like one big cactus has spanked you for hours. Welcome to summer people.

Lamplight June 2009

What a lovely weekend!!!
Julie had her first show with Gram and they came in with a bang and left with one too. There were some really wonderful moments and their whole peanut gallery was really proud of them both!!

It was really nice ot go to a show again. I think I forgot how much it wears a person out just to sit around all day and wait to ride... and I didn't even ride in this one! I can't imagine how I did it before when I would ride 4 and 5 classes a day and then go home and not pass out for a week. Guess I have to build my stamina up again.

It was great to see my old trainer, Ryan Yap, as well. We all just kinda fell back into place picking on each other and being supportive.

Its been about 9 years out of the show ring for me. And though I'm not there yet, its exciting to see what I'm getting back into again.

a new leaf

Oh bye bye now little red car!!!
You were good to me. We only got one ticket together, though we broke 100 a few times (hi Mom!)
You ran great for me and never had a problem. I hope I'm as lucky with your up coming replacement.
I loved your quick speed and passing ability. I'm going to give that up getting an suv... but I no longer will have to fall into my car. :)

I will miss you oh sweet little red car.




Almost as much as the wrangler.

Pain in my ass

For the first time I’m trying to sell a car. I already don’t like it. I don’t know how to play this game that everyone else seems to be playing. I get asked what the best price I can give is, I give it… and then later when they see the car they say “now, lets talk about price” HUH!?!? Was I supposed to give a fake bottom price and then, later go even lower? How does this work??

I’ve also tried listing the car in a variety of ways. Right now I just have it on craigslist because I’m lazy. I think if I don’t get any serious bites by Thursday I’m going to pay the stupid money for an AutoTrader ad. I tried listing it with a price, but I only got a few bites here and there. Now I’ve got it listed for ONNNEEEE Dollar. And I suggest to them that they email me or call for a price. So then, at least I can talk to someone and see if there’s any wiggle room.

Oh, and I have bad luck. Got a STUPID HUGE rock thrown at the windshield yesterday. I haven’t had a single chip in that stupid windshield the whole time I’ve had that car, and now… now I get this big already kinda spidering crack!? Sheesh… just another thing to have to deal with. FML.

Yuck.

Boo work on Friday.

A pick me up: 5 Hour Energy Drink

So whenever I'm at work and I plan on going to the barn afterwards I'm SO tired. Like... last week I swear I fell asleep at my desk for 30 seconds. Ok ok… maybe 2 mins. Anyway, I needed to get something to try to help me and my inability to focus past the coma of lunch. Enter: 5 Hour Energy. I know a lot of people have taken this, and its been on the market for a long time and its still there, so I was guessing it did something. It better do something for about 4 bucks a bottle!!!

I bought the lemon lime flavor, not knowing there were different ones, I assumed it was like Redbull… one bad sugary flavor for all. So yea… I begin to down what I can only describe as battery acid and get through ½ the bottle before I decide that I need to stop or risk booting all over the files on my desk. I gingery cap the little bottle of radioactive mouth wash and put it in my file cabinet for another machinist day.

Its been about 2 hours now since I took it and I can say that I feel a difference. I’m not jittery like on caffeine, but I’m defiantly typing faster and am more alert, not sleepy. I got the “niacin flush” that is talked about where it flushes your face and your skin and could really feel that for the first 30 mins or so…. But now it’s gone. Actually… I’m sitting here in a short sleeved top like a normal human being and not all wrapped up in my blanket like I usually am, so that’s also a plus.

So all in all… for me I would say the little bottle that tastes VILE works. Maybe next time I’ll try one of the other flavors and see if I can stomach them any better.
