HOCKER

OK, I promised photos of Hocker, our new ferret, so here they are! Better late than never!

CHRISTMAS CARDS

So I've been slacking. Here it is Mid-November and I have yet to work on getting Christmas Cards in the works. Before we moved to Central Oregon I was SOOOO good about sending Christmas cards out every year. The year before last, (our first year in Oregon) like a week after Christmas Stetson asked me, "What did you send out for Christmas Cards, I don't think I saw them?" I had COMPLETELY FORGOT!?!? He could not believe that I forgot and had not sent any out... I had sent them out for the 5+ prior years (since 2001) and I looked forward to it every year and that particular year... it had COMPLETELY slipped my mind! Last year I was a good little girl and got them out. I won't mention the fact that I was a huge procrastinator and got them back from the printer like 2 days prior to Christmas. The point is, I got them out. People MAY have not gotten them by Christmas, but if they were to look at the postdate it was prior to Christmas :o) So here it is that time again and I just made an appt. to have photos taken.... The appointment it December 6th, then she needs like a week to do editing... so I have decided, This year your mailbox will bring Stetson and I's NEW YEAR CARD rather than a Christmas card. I will try and be better next year! Speaking of the fact that December is right around the corner... it brings me to think Stetson and I have been together since December 2000, isn't that wild!?!?!

I just want to say AAZ Photo rocks! I just ran accross my wedding photos and wanted to post a few for old time sake :o)

WEEKEND

Whoa! ok, so I am WAY tired today! I think I have reached the conclusion that staying out late two nights in a row, is just TOO much for me!?!

Friday night we went over to some friends house and had dinner, played games and I drank a whole lot of Malibu Rum. It was nice. It seems like lately I have been stressing about everything, so it was nice to forget everything and have a good time!

Saturday we went to the Columbia River Circuit Finals. The rodeo was a good time. I got to visit with many friends. Then afterward we went to the afterparty, and then to Timbers and closed the bar down! I was the driver, I owed Stetson since I was the drunk one Friday night ;o) It was 4am by the time we finally made it home! That is a long night for a sober driver!!!

Yesterday.... We had planned to go a bunch of projects, we ended up just hanging out in the house, recovering, from our sleepless weekend! :o)

I have come to realize I am just too old to have a speedy recovery of

Ahhhh.... 1:00.... Only 4 more hours of work! I seem to have a daily countdown anymore?

Today is a good day with the exception of the never ending headache I have.

I was going to go home and work with my horses this evening, but after opening my fridge this morning to find we are out of almost everything.... No Cheese, Milk, Lunch Meat...it's bad! I decided to make a trip to Redmond afterwork and do some heavy grocery shopping :o(

Am I the only person that absolutely hates wasting my evening away by strolling down aisles, getting behind slow people that see no reason to get out of your way and spending way too much money? I must tell you, I work in Prineville and the grocery shopping is HORRIBLE! There is Rays, where I can honestly say, I think everything is a dollar or two more expensive than say Erickson's or Safeway... There is Erickson's AKA the store with a TERRIBLE selection, Not to mention if you don't babysit your cart it will go rolling away due to the lovely rolling floors :o)That's pretty much it for grocery shopping in Prineville. We are in desparate need of a GOOD grocery store! Durring the week when I have stuff to get I stop in Terrebonne. Terrebonne's one grocery store is better than any of the grocery stores in Prineville, Now how pathetic is that?!?

So... I had a good evening last night. Stetson left yesterday morning and they were headed to Grass Valley to work so they were going to spend the night rather than drive back and forth. I was sad because I had a barrel race at the Redmond Expo Center. It was the first time I have had a chance to run in that arena, It's a big fancy arena :o) He had told me weeks ago he would go with me. Well, just before the race started he showed up. There was a delay in the job so he got to come home and see me make a nice run at the big fancy Expo Center :o) Cuda was good. We were two places out of the money :o( There were over 100 girls that ran last night so I was pretty happy with our end result, even though it did not bring me a paycheck...

Next time!

NEW ADDITION

We have a new member of the household... We have added another ferret to the current posse. I wish I would have remembered my camera so you sould see some photos of Hocker. He is just over a year old. Much bigger than our other two, but totally sweet. Cord, my nephew was toting him around Saturday.

I will remember photos... Soon, Very soon :o)

PEOPLE!

I just wrote a long blog and then I got a phone call and I had to eat my words... so not much to report today :o) Which is much better than the Long Detailed post I just typed over :o)

RANT

Good Morning,

I just want to complain about this rediculous time change! It is the worst thing ever. When I get off work it's dark. Who wants to do anything outdoors when it is dark outside! I hate it... Grrrrr.............

So generally there is a group of us that get together and ride on Wednesday night, but we have cancelled this week. Stetson has a sore throat and is losing his voice. The bug just keeps going around. It's been 2 weeks since I had the darn cold!

Ahhhh... ok, now that I have vented, I feel much better :o)
