It's just like riding a bike.....

As most of you know, I teach basic horsemanship on the weekends. I have a wide range of students. A few of those students are adults. I'm particularly proud of one of my students who is going to the same clinic that I am next month. She's started to lope (the third speed on a horse) and she's really trying to get the basics before this clinic. This started a debate with my s.o. who said that riding a horse is just like riding a bike. I looked at him and said "okay, but there are horses that have two different sizes of wheels, some that are missing chains, some with no seats, etc..." He brought up yeah, I guess some don't have handlebars, or the handlebars are stuck, and some have no brakes, and some have one speed......

Yeah hon, just like riding a freakin' bike.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

I went to the movies tonight with my friends Katie and Gin. Let me just say that I laughed so hard I gave myself a stomachache. The movie was cute, Isla is adorable, and I totally would wear almost every outfit that she had on. Except for this one!

I'm sure that I also annoyed almost every patron with my laughter (I thought laughter was contagious?!!!??) But I can't help it, it literally cracked me up! I also could see myself (my friend Katie agreed!) doing the 'fan' scene. Makes me realize how much I miss dancing! Absolutely cute girl movie.

I created a YouTUBE video

Alright, so my editing sucks. I just mainly wanted to see if I could do it. So, hopefully the next ones will look better. I spent 2 hours working with Zena, and just took bits and pieces to mainly show my friend Megan! LOL! I love how pissy she is at the start. Cracks me up!

So...

So I might have won a computer. Last December when I attended the AutoDesk Conference I signed up to win a computer and last Tuesday I got a letter in the mail wanting my signature and a notary saying i WON! Hmmmmm, we'll see 10-14 days supposedly.

Rock Band Obsession

What is it about a silly little fake guitar and a fake drumset that gets people thinking that they're really part of the band. Well, try to take away my drumsticks and I'll smack you across the head with them. In my house, that's my drumset, I even have my own bright yellow sticks and everything.

Last night was the best 50th birthday party ever that I attended for one of my friends. Yes folks, he had 2 rock band setups. One for the 'little kids' and then one for the adults. Off and on, Chris and I played for 3 hours straight. I had so much fun! Dan and his wife actually purchased an after market drum set made for the 360 that was rather neat. I usually play until my contacts pop out of my head (seriously).

Of course no rock band today as our XBOX is being fixed for it's stupid 3rd time of 3 blinking lights. What will we do today????!!!!

Can I have UR Number

One of my lesson students introduced me to this little vid.

I laughed. Really, because she and her mom had it memorized line for line. There were some great moments, such as the ponytail bit, and the celluloid bit. The woman played a funny man, those bug eyes were freaky.

Are you a dealer?

So Chris and I went to 7-11 yesterday, taking a break from the usual work grind. We go in and I grab a mt. dew as it's been a rough day. Chris grabs his usual unhealthy ice tea, and I grab a couple of cookies to go with my healthy drink and think about grabbing a couple of taquitas as well. Being a work day, we're both dressed for success, alright, he's got on the nice black slacks, flashy black dress shirt and tie, and I have on the cow kickers, brown shirt, and once white vest that I'm sure has horse slobber and probably poo on it as well. We're waiting in line to pay when this guy comes in who was clearly either drinking one too many or smoking something considered illegal. He looks over at Chris gets his stuff stands behind him in line and whispers. You look nice.....are you a dealer?
My head spun around so fast I thought I had whiplash. All offended I sarcastically replied "No, he's a TEACHER". The guy starts back-pedalling saying "my bad, my bad, sorry, my bad" hahahaha. What a freakin loon. I suddenly can't stand anymore and I start giggling in line. I know, that's me, the teacher's wife who's suddenly gone giggle girl happy. Of course then I had to wonder if that's why all the kids in school smoke pot?!!!
