Mayor of Your Town

I am in a contemplative mood today. Lots going on to think about and everyone knows I like to do that!! :) My relationships with my coworkers just keep getting better. I can't believe how lucky I am to work with the nicest people all day. They are so happy and friendly. I am listening to pandora right now and I named the station "Nick's Station" cause I got all of the suggested band names from him. I am trying to post the link to it so you guys can also, but I am failing at that at the current moment. Every song is awesome.

I went to riding at the barn and rode my favorite horse, Blanche. She is a thoroughbred percheron mix and my instructor and I agree that if she were a person she would be Marilyn Monroe. She is hilarious, she always thinks I have treats for her (she's a smart girl). She stands in the cross ties and squirms around while I brush her and pick out her feet. She cocks her head sideways and stares down at me with one eye while I am at her withers brushing her. I have invited a handful of people to ride and I am shocked at how indifferent they are some of the times. I am wondering if people think riding horses is like forcing the horses to do something they don't want to do. Horses like some of the people that ride them and not others. And depending on the horse, they really like to jump. It is like playing a game for them. Blanche and I did figure eights today (doing two "bending lines (a bending line is two jumps that aren't in a straight line)" in the shape of a figure eight) and she was a little on the sluggish side until we started doing those. Then I just sat back and let her go. She loved it. Blanche and I are pals. :)

I think I might have to stop riding for awhile to save some money up. It makes me so sad. I was looking at everything in the barn tonight and at Blanche wondering how long it might be before I come back. I really don't want to quit. Riding keeps me sane. I don't have any pics of me with her, I need to get some. Someone has pics of me on another horse, but I DOUBT I am getting those...

On the way home I went by the grocery store and bought some pistachios and other stuff. Those damn things are so good. And Corona, that is pretty damn good also.

Mmmm... one more thing. So for anyone that doesn't really know, I am still talking to the Welsh guy that I met last weekend. I really enjoy avoiding thinking about what is going on. It is so fun how ridiculous it is when I do give it a few thoughts--we are so far apart and yet all I want is to hear his voice. That might seem impossible, I am in Seattle and he is in Holyhead, U.K. He calls and all I want to do is jump through the phone and out the other side into his arms. His voice is the most amazing sound I have heard since I can remember. Charming and sweet and pretty damn funny (cheeky shit ;) ). He is 8 hours ahead of my time. So he is getting up pretty soon I imagine. I am going to visit him sometime and it sounds like he might be able to come visit me. We don't get to talk very much because he works a lot and does a lot of training for athletic events that he participates in. Hhahaha, we are something like 8000 miles apart and we don't get to talk that much. So basically the majority of this is in my imagination... HEY. ahahaha ;) Or the majority is on facebook messages. Yep. I like the idea of bouncing around the world and going on cycling trips with him. To random crazy adventurous places to just meet up and have a blast. Then return to normal life. That's okay with me, ya know. He's cool enough that I am satisfied with facebook messages and occasional really hot phone calls. Life's a bowl of cherries!!

Nick's pretty cool. He is on the top of the list as far as awesome guys I have met. For a bunch of reasons. I seek out people who want their life to be an adventure, one after another. He seems like he wouldn't so much as skip a beat in that department. And he's so gosh dang seheeeexxxxy. His ass looks hotter in jeans than anyone I have seen yet. Oh yes. :D

Sweet dreams. Earlier bed time for me.
