Are we there yet?
Posted by Melinda | Filed under Uncategorized
Well - it’s been a pretty quiet week. Taira is gone to mom’s for her Spring Break and she and her little BFF have been hanging out. So what am I doing while she is gone?
Monday- I came home and rode Ransom. Took Rolo on his first official trail ride with Ringo along to show him the ropes. Then I headed to my friend Lanie’s who lives RIGHT up the road and we had some wine and very yummy chicken breasts. I made more scalloped potatoes…cuz I love ‘em! I ended up falling asleep after we watched some Dancin’ with the Stars and since she lives like - 2 miles from the house I just stayed the night. Up in the morning and headed to the house after she made e a cup off coffee.
Tuesday - had an AC Advisory Board meeting in the evening so I went to the Family Christian Store then met a friend at Ruby Tuesdays for salad before heading to the meeting. Nothing exciting to report there. Headed home, tended the animals and enjoyed watching my pack of dogs at play in the yard. Let me tell you what…they are FUNNY.
You got Ringo (The ACD with OCD) who’s main goal in life is for someone to throw the toy. Then you have dainty little Neela who’s main goal in life is to attept to intercept the toy and run with it when she is successful and then engage is some fierce tug of war with Ringo over the toy. (They really sound so fierce and put their backs into it. It’s hilarious to watch). Then there’s Stitch…the struttin’ his stuff little no nonsense dog who joins in the fun…but will stop just to roll around for the fun of it. And of course, Rolo - the puppy who just wants to be in the middle of EVERYTHING. One minute he’s trying to chase the toy…the next minute he’s trying to intercept the tug of war battle..the next minute he’s off in his own little world and you have to keep him out of trouble.
So I let them play and watched them for awhile and then headed inside and lounged on the couch and read a book and was off to sleep.
Wednesday - hung out at work a little late and then went home and got a quick ride in on Ransom with Ringo to tag-a-long then….headed to Lanie’s again. This time I brought Rolo along so he and Dallas could play. So we had some yummy roasted chicken and kept our legs up on the couch while the Canine 500 went on around the couch as the two dogs ran around it wrestling and playing tag. (Again, reiterating how fun dogs are just to watch when you get them in groups of two or more).
It’s Thursday! Now what? Well - gettin’ ready to head to the house, try to squeeze another ride in and then go meet my friend at The Nickel and head over to the Bayou for some relaxing to some music.
I am, however TIRED! We’ve been playing tennis at lunch. Now it is FUN FUN FUN…but I didn’t realize what a workout I would get. The first two days I was SORE. Made me realize it was much more of a workout than I thought. But now that the newness is off I just look forward to the hour and a half we play rotating courts. I’m no Venus or Serena…but it’s still fun nonetheless. What’s great is the County gives us an extra 30 minutes of administrative leave in addition to lunch just to be engaged in something fitness related. It’s cool!
Anyway, better head home if I intend to try to ride and meet the girls.
Oh yeah - remember the morning I woke up and the alarm wasn’t set. Seems it very well may have been Taira who woke up and turned it off half sleepwalking! LOL!
LOVE YA!!...
