Just stay on course…

Wow, do I have one heck of as horse show hang over! As I lay here re living the past week and a half, I am still in awe of it all. My adventure at the Grand National couldn’t possibly fit in one post. So here is part 1!  After work last Saturday I threw […]

It takes a village

I admit I am a pretty lousy blogger! I will fill you in on the adventures of the rodeo soon, but I had to share this awesome story first. They say it takes a village to raise a child. Growing up on the horse show and rodeo circuits I know this paradigm well. When I was […]

They say it’s easier to find a husband

Since I have moved to the bay area my eyes have been opened to a whole new world. Both literally and figuratively. From paying $4.50 a gallon for gas, to doggie day care, it is quite a change from the small town slow paced Midwest where I spent my college days. I mean let’s be […]

Becoming one of THOSE people

If you live in a city, urban, popular area you know who I’m talking about. People who are super into the newest spots to hit (be that culinary or shopping), workaholics, and usually obsessed with their kids or their pet. On Tuesday I went to yet another apartment viewing, since I’ve had some practice in […]
