A great weekend

It was a great Sunday, other than my boy, Jamie McMurray coming in second in the Nascar race.  He was hosed by Michael Waltrip, who was in a lap car.  HOSED!, I say.

We ate at Mom and Dad's, then I helped untangle the spider web of cords behind mom's desk.  The dog got much needed exercise, fighting with Sadie.  He also got tagged on the nose by some over-protective mamma cats.  Serves him right.

I spent a lot of time in the lot with the horses.  The flies are bad, and it's cool how they work together against the pesky insects.  People who haven't been around horses might not know this:  The horses stand nose to tail, so the swishing of the tails keeps flies off of a buddies face.  Pretty smart.  I played with the filly quite a bit.  She wants to turn her rump to me and kick (playing) so I push her butt away and command "NO!".  She finally quit trying.  She's so animated and sweet. 

When we came home, I mowed the yard and weeded the flower beds.  Brett weed-eated the ditch and the banks.  Then I watered the trees.  I can't wait to have trees.  By the time I retire, I'll have shade!  Everything looked great when we were done.  It feels good to accomplish something on the weekend, all the while feeling like there's been enough relaxation time.

Tomorrow will be a 13 hour day at work.  We will be reorganizing and cleaning and brainstorming ideas for the customer service area from 5-9.  I'm not looking forward to the hours, but will enjoy the rewards.  I am always hopefull and excited about changes at work.

Time to sign off, since internet service has been intermittant at best, lately.  Ciao, baby.

No way!  I never knew that about the tail-swishing thing.  Horses scare me -- as does the fact that you follow NASCAR.  WHY???!!!  LOL  

Still love you, though.

I love playing with the babies! Brook was kicked in the belly by a 2 month old once. Left a real big bruise so be careful.
