I am in a small horse club locally in our little town here. I am supposed to write the newsletter each month. I had volunteered to do this last June. I was faithful and had my newsletters out in the first few days of each month. I loved doing this for the club, it kept me involved.

Now I feel bad that I have not done one in three months and I still had not even published January’s issue, tho it is done. Tonight I vow to get out the old January issue and I will work on the 3 missing ones. They really only take about an hour and half to complete once I have all the components I want to place in them. To find good articles on information about horses can be a challenge. I can go to the internet easily, but to find articles that are not copyrighted, or that have been published with author unknown is hard to come by. I include a kids page, so at times to find something that youngun’s can have fun with is another challenge. Along with the article page and the kids page, I include a funny page, an upcoming events page, a feature on a club member page and the cover page.

I have my work cut out for me tonight.

Any suggestions on where to find some funny horse jokes??

I happen to like a little bit of all different genres. But I tend to listen to country more than others. There is a new song by Billy Ray Cyrus that he sings duet with his daughter Miley called “Get Ready, Get Set, Don’t Go”. I actually like this song, Billy sounds a little like Bruce Springsteen, but too bad Miley is the co-singer, it would be so much better with someone that can actually sing.

Another thing, I have not heard a sexy song since Billy Currington’s “Doing Something Right”.

But now there is a song out by James Otto called “Just Got Started Loving You”. I must have listened it to about 25 times last night on my Zune player while laying in bed. When I first heard this song, I loved the feeling I got when listening to it, I didn’t even care if the singer was an old man of 50 something… HA , wait, I am 50 something. Check the video below, you will see he is not all that great looking and I was hoping for a much sexier video, but the song does it for me. (evil grin).

mmmm mmmmm

We get interoffice email thru outlook about which doctor is going to lunch, which assistant will cover which hall and other changes from the master schedule published in email each day. also, each day I have to announce to the office when I leave the building to get lunch, this really is a courtesy announcement and a way of letting people know you will be out and about town. Most times I offer to pick up whatever another may want while I am out. Then we all also have to announce when we leave for the night. Thank goodness we do not have to announce when we have to pee. Hah

So anyway, yesterday we got a great little email. It read: “RATTLESNAKE …There is a rattler outside the back door of the main building.” We in the back building run to check it out only to find out that it is a bullsnake, albeit a very large bullsnake. And within minutes 2 doctors and 3 assistants come out, they don’t run this fast to get to a patient waiting for them in the next room (just kidding). The first doctor out the door nonchalantly bends down and picks it up and asks one of the assistants to go get a pillow case. His plan was to bring it home and let it out on his property.

He brought the snake back into the office, walks through the front lobby past the patients that are totally aware of the snake matter now and for the most part, not a one blinks an eye about it.

Gotta love this small town!

Next week I will be starting to work 4 ten hour days a week. Unfortunately I do not get to have Friday off. That would have been too nice because my hubby has Fridays off. The only available days to pick from to have off was Tuesday or Thursday. I chose Thursday. Which is pretty good for when I want a 4 day weekend, I need only take a Friday off.

And hey… 4^th of July is on a Friday this year… yeehaw!

I have already been making a list (yes I tend to make lists and bad as that is, I save these lists forever it seems) of all the things I want to do on my days off. So far, it is all work that grace my list, but I have to start tackling it sometime, so I can feel fulfilled and enjoy life with things in order. HA! That will be the day.

I know when I used to tackle things in the past when the kids were little, it seemed that I made more chores for myself if I gave the kids chore lists. It was better just doing it myself.

So, next Thursday we will see if I actually accomplish something or if I just veg out. I hope for the strength to do at least one thing on my list.

I guess that means it must be spring.

I hate spring cleaning. I have so many things on my list of what I want to get done, let alone the normal things that one is supposed to do when it is “spring cleaning time”.

A few weekends ago I sat and watched 3 of those home and/or landscape improvement shows and of course that is the worst thing that I can watch. Because, dayyyyumm, now I have added even more to my “things I want to do” list. I know time will let me forget the enthusiasm I had when I first watched the shows and my desire will wane and I can remove a few things off that list.

But I really would much rather be outside with the horses or doing a project, anything to not be stuck in the house.

OK… time to get off my butt and get out there and muck those stalls.. which is not on my list.
