Tuesday Boredness

Just sitting at work wishing I was doing something fun. Or at home where I could do whatever I want. My house is pretty much in a serious state of disrepair. I've had one of those "I'll clean that up later" weeks, and so now it is later and everything needs to be cleaned up! -_- Boo.

So not a whole lot of anything has been going on. Just livin life. Did have fun Sunday night though. A couple from our small group, and the bro and sis and law and us all went to the couples house and brought papa johns and watched a movie in their new movie room in the basement. (We watched Taken for the 4th time for me, haha, but I love it) And us girls sat and talked awhile while the boys went to my parents to get something.

Lee and I went to Lowes last week. I found out we were going to have a little extra money that week so made up a list of improvements that need to be done around the house. Like laying the tile in the guest bathroom that has never been done, cleaning the windows, hanging up pictures, putting the rest of the knobs on the kitchen cabinets, etc. So we spent about 60$ and got everything we need just about! I still want to get some plants for outside but that can wait.

We are trying to get ready for next month. Every Sunday of October we are hosting the small group at our house. Eep, so we went it to look good!

I also found a room sized rug for the living room that I really like. Its kinda shaggy, but not overly so, and goes great in there. After I get my pictures/shelves up I'm going to really like the dining room/living room area I think.

So my birthday is coming up! About 2 weeks, little over. Its oct 12th. I better start coming up with stuff I want! Lee and his family will be dogging me about it soon, lol. I really dont know...sure I have lots of stuff I want but they are way out of everyones price range! Lol. I'd like money! But thats impossible to get people to give you, well my family might. But his won't! They are very big on being personal etc.

Id also like a new camera, but I want to move up in quality, and that starts costing from 400-800 dollars! Um, what else...I guess I'd like a shotgun, but I don't want one that bad...we haven't hunted in about 2 weeks. Mostly because of the rain. It has rained EVERYDAY for like 2 weeks straight. No joke. We hare having all kinds of flooding. Thankfully not around us though. Finally they said its going to clear up after this week. That has definitely put a stop to my riding -_-. I was watching a few videos on trail competitions, that looks really fun. I want to set up a course out in the pasture and try Daisy through it, hehe, I bet she'd do great! The Alabama Horse Fair is at the end of January, and they have a Trail Horse Competition that any and all horses and riders can enter. Here's a run from last year a girl did on her pretty paint mare:



I think she did great for it being her first competition. Which also tells me anyone and everything enters these things. There is another video of a fat appy that a girl rides through, she doesn't get through but maybe 2 obstacles, lol. I know for a FACT Daisy and I could do better then THAT. That high jump up and down thing though, I think thatd be our worst, lol, that thing looks scary! But the pain mare does GREAT over it.

I like these type of trail competitions. The kind of stuff you would actually maybe encounter out on an actual trail. Not the crap AQHA does with all those crazy intricate poles and junk and their heads at their hooves and going SO SLOW.

Frankly I just want to get out and do SOMETHING with my horse in public. Its been over 2 years! Right before we found out Daisy was pregnant with Tuff Tuff. I'm also kinda worried about her lameness though. I'm definitely not taking a lame horse out in public. I need to get her to a vet to find out just what is going on. I can guess all day but that won't do any good.

So the boss showed up, better skidattle, adios!

Work Work

Betcha can't guess where I am?? lol, okay maybe you can.

Only 30 more minutes to go though! Its been a pretty fast week so far. I loved having Monday off to spend with Lee and the fam. We just lounged around all morning, then went over to his parents for a bit, then on over to my mom and dads for a b-que. That was pretty fun. Dawson was in fine form, sooo funny and cute! Dad b-qued chicken, soo good. And my grandma made homemade macaroni and potato salad, AND fried okra. Can you say TUMMY ACHE, haha. So good. Then my dad also had homemade ice cream making, and it was really good, peach. You just cant beat homemade ice cream. Why can't they make it that good for the store? I mean blue bell gets close but not there.

Here's a few pics!

The adorable Dawson Wayne

Me and my daddy!

My grandma, and Dolly!

And me and Bowser of course :)

Anywho, mostly just sat around and talked. My grandma from Arizona is in town this week, and that was fun to spend some time with her. I was around her my whole childhood, but after we moved to Alabama I have missed her. It is good to get to be around my dads grandpa tho, she lives here now and I did not see her much in my childhood; she lived in Oregon.

The boys got a old playhouse of my nieces out and converted it into a shooting house, lol. They still need to put a roof and sides on it, but its a good base! They drug it up the hill to where they are going to try to shoot deer when season opens.

So I'm pretty excited about this Saturday! We may be going to Tennessee!! The Smokey Mountains baby!! Okay, just Pigeon Forge, but still, its up there! 5 hours away. But totally doable. Apparently there is a really big car show up there that dad and them want to go to, so we are invited too. Sounds fun! Well, Im not a big car show fan, but I am a fan of Tennessee :) Wow, that looks really strange if you look at it real close. Weird work.

Anywho, got choir practice tonight. Gotta be there early for some reason. I'm in a worship team, so I guess we are having a meeting about that.

I got my violin out yesterday and played a VERY little bit and my fingers/wrist are sore today! Way out of practice. I even cut my finger nails, sniff. They were so pretty too, lol. It is very hard to play with long nails though. I need some new strings, a new bow would not be amiss either.

Well, short post, for me, I know. But almost time to leave. Until later!
