well effing well well.
so it's been a long time. and i haven't been reading, either. our dial up was getting, well, silly. so we went with another service, which means that we get the same speed, but we are able to load pages quicker. vis a vi- i don't have to walk off and have a beer everytime i want to upload a photo.
so i had to call the last dial up service and cancel. so they transferred me to INDIA. and i talked to a fella called steve. i swear, they must all take on western names. like i just called idaho. puh leeease! i know he was just following his script, but he wouldn't just cancel me. he offered me one month, and then two months free. i told him that i was getting their 15.95 per month service for 9.99 per month and unless he was going to offer me the same rate forever, would he just cancel my service? ... please? so he finally did. and here i am. speeding along at the rate of a mule.
speaking of mules....
had a fun horsey day today.
the fella i ride with (AL) who by the way is fabulous with horses and has finally fixed my seat (u have dirty minds) suggested that ol' buddy needed some booties on his front hooves. well i was having trouble finding the booties in his size (3) and i had ordered some on backorder. my farrier (Jo) had also agreed that booties would be an improvement. she had connnected me to the manufacturer of said booties and i was gonna call them tomorrow (8-5 moutain standard time operating hours) except that AL phoned to say he'd got me some. well the price was high (damn horses these things are expensive! god help me should i have kids!) anyway, he talked his buddy down and i got a good price. i would just have to show up the next day and meet him at my neighbors (D&C) to make the exchange.
so the time rolled around and mr. K (the husband) had just finished dropping the tranny on the deisel (OMG! i didn't even tell y'all about the jeep incident. well, he was replacing the clutch on the jeep when some pressure plate swung down and nearly sliced his hand off. it was only the fourth time in our married life i heard the words, "we have to go to hospital" but i ended up cleaning it out and holding it together with a band aid as we didn't hit a vein or a tendon.)
sooooooo anyway, the hubby was bored so i said, "why not run over to the neighbours with me on the quad" and the next thing we knew we were there. so i also met another lady who has a mule and wants a riding partner. we're going out monday morning. wheeeeeeee!
so AL and i did the bootie exchange, and D&C's phone rang and someone down the road was having trouble getting a halter on his two month old colt. so we all jumped in our respective vehicles (two jeeps, a quad and a dodge) and ran down the road to see the baby paint horse and AL the horse whisperer. he was amazing. he sweeted that colt into a bridle like he could talk to her. and the mother? concerned? upset? no. she couldn't eat enough alfalfa while her colt was busy. and was the baby stressed? only as much as the idiot owner had made her before AL arrived....
so he and i have been riding every tuesday for a couple months now. it's really great. he's working on my sense of direction and he won't give me a hint as to where we are- i have to find my own way home. and guess what? i can. weird. but hey, everything happens for a reason, right? and then we find out we're practically twins- he was born two days after me- and was married in the same month i was. meant to be, i tell you.
have a great day, i did. gonna go violate mr. k.
