Stet and I had a nice weekend.
Friday night consisted of heading straight to the couch when we got home from work... and that's were we stayed all night! It was nice. We watched Entertainment Tonight, Ghost Whisperer and ate popcorn chicken (I have decided this is not a favorite food)... We were both wiped out. The short week for Thanksgiving made last week seem like an eternity!
Saturday I woke up and was wide awake, so in an attempt to let Stetson sleep in, I went out and caught my horses. I got a good ride in on Cuda and Smo and I spent some time with Jube, my three year old colt. I got her loaded up in the trailer and worked on mellowing her out a bit. She is a TOTAL livewire and she is going to take LOTS of work to get her to a point I feel comfortable getting on her. Right now she spooks of EVERYTHING! Which I can't blame her, last Spring she had a run in with a cougar and her cat like reflexes and extreme athleticism are I am sure why she survived and the other colt didn't... But now I have to work on M.E.L.L.O.W! I ended up not getting back into the house until 11:30! Stetson liked it, it gave him some time to catch up with his dear friend.... the X-Box... He had an intense battle going on the football field. Then we were off to Bend! We went and got our Christmas photos taken ;o) Super excited to see how they turned out! Then we ran a few errands and met mom and dad at Shoji's for dinner. Dad had never been. I ordered some Sushi. Mmmm and I had ordered some California Rolls since dad was not keen on the idea of any raw fish... I got him to try one piece and he was not impressed AT ALL. Good thing dinner made up for it. If the menu consisted of only sushi, we would have been in trouble. Stetson ordered some Spicy Tuna Rolls and they were HOT!!!!! My mouth was on fire, mom's too!!! We stopped in Redmond at the 7th Street Brewery, a friend of the family was having his traditional "Pub Crawl". We stayed for an hour, til they were off to bar #2 and then we snuck off and headed for home.
Sunday I had a barrel race. Cuda was FULL OF IT and was a total butt! But after some fine tuning he decided it is better to listen! I am glad we hit a barrel at this race, rather than at COBRA, (Central Oregon Barrel Racing Assoc.) I am sitting #3 in the COBRA series and they give away a saddle so it would have hurt me in the standings to hit a barrel there.... Whew, we got the ignorant run out of the way and I just know he will be a perfect gentlemen on the 21st for COBRA! HA!
