OK, this is going to be a fly by posting!! I still don't have pictures posted of my birthday yet because I was gone for 4 days at a scrapbook retreat. We had a blast! I'm about 10 pages from finishing our wedding album. No real rush as it's only been 3.5 years since it took place:) I'll be VERY glad to have that finished!
Next up is my first horse show of the season this thursday-sunday so I've got a million and one things to do with little time to do it. Plus Lance is gone until late Wed nite so I'm on my own with all the animals and loading the trailer/packing ect. Ick! Oh well.
I was also tagged by Jewels last week so I'll do that now! (no Jewels, I don't mind!!)
Rules:
Step 1. reference back to the blog that sent you.
Step 2. make a list of 5 things you have to get done this week, no matter how small.
Step 3. tag two other people
1. pack/load horse trailer for the show this weekend
2. go to the barn to work with Faith and clip her furry legs
3. exchange a pair of jeans that I bought a couple of weeks ago
4. get more pressed powder from Mer.le Nor.man (love their makeup!!)

What a weekend!!
Wow! My DH threw me one hell of a party! There were tons of people, lots of food and green beer and cake galore! It was great:) My BFF and I realized that we are no longer 25 as my DH and his friends (all 25-ish) partied until 5 am while my BFF and I made it until 2 am and then had to crash. I guess that's what happens when you are or almost 30! Which I'm completely fine with by the way!! My 30th bday has been awesome so far... all 9 hours of it!! I am at work but my coworkers decorated my computer area and plastered pictures of me all over the 4th floor that say something about me turning 30! My DH is taking me out for lunch and supper so YAY!! He's a keeper!!
I'll post pics of the weekend festivities tomorrow! In other news, a huge big fat congrats to Kat on her bfp!!! She just found out this weekend so yay for her!!

Why yes...I AM still alive!!
Long time no blog! I have been a VERY bad blogger as of late. I just haven't been "in the mood" and work has been extremely busy. Excuses excuses!! I just didn't put any effort into it. Now that will change! I have lots going on:) I'm riding my horse again, looking forward to the first show in April. The first signs of spring are starting to appear! I can actually see some of your landscaping as of yesterday!! That is so very exciting to me that I really need to get a life:) tee hee hee The biggest news of all is that I turn 30 March 17th! My fabulous hubby is throwing me a huge birthday bash on Saturday with tons of family and friends coming to celebrate with us:) He really is the best hubby ever! Yesterday I went to the local party place to pick up plates, cups, ect for the party and it almost killed me to pay full price for all that stuff knowing that the day after St. Patty's it will all be half price. Now for some of you, that may be a shock as I am very high maintenance but as cheap. I love spending money on certain things but if I can save a buck, I will! I'm also a planner so I should have bought all this stuff last year as we've been planning on doing a St. Patty's party for years. Oh well. You can guarantee that I will be out there "stocking up" for next year!
So, lots going on here! There's going to be some very exciting days here in the near future and I can't wait!!

Valentine's Day...blah!
I'm not a fan of V-day. This probably seems odd as I am married to the most romantic man on the face of this earth but I've never been a fan of it. I've always had a date for V-day so I'm not jaded, it's just that I think it's a dumb holiday. Why do we have to remind eachother to be nice, loving, romantic, ect just this one time of year. I want it each and every freaking day, not just 2.14.08. I'm a princess and a diva and a high-maintenance wife....L* knows this and married me anyway. I do NOT want to have to tell him to tell me that he loves me or to get me flowers or a nice card. I actually prefer that he doesn't do any of this on V-day. Do it on a random Monday in May. It would mean a whole heck of a lot more on a random day than on V-day. Obviously this is not a holiday with me in mind.
Now if I had a guy who was worthless, um I mean unable to get his sh*t together enough to do something nice for me then yes, I'd probably like V-day even need V-day in order to feel special in regards to this relationship. If that was the case, there's a lot more wrong with the relationship than just some flowers/card/candy are going to fix.
Anyway, I'm off my soap box! Now here's a real holiday...St. Pat.ty's Day!!! Nothing better than kissing Irish people (I'm Irish!! YAY!), drinking green beer, and pitching anyone not in green! Not that's a hoiday:) Plus it's my birthday. This year is the big 3-0!! WOW!! What is in store for my bday you ask. I'm not sure...you'll have to ask L*! I can't wait!!! I have no problem with trying 30. I see good things in my 30's such as babies, house paid off, business paid off, more babies!!! Good things!!!
Ok, now I need to shut my mouth because L* just sent me a beautiful bouquet of red, pink&pink/white stripe tulips. I'll take a picture of them tonight to show you. I still don't like V-day but I love tulips!!! Thanks L*xoxo

Why??
don't I blog more? Because I have nothing interesting to gab about. That's right folks...I'm boring! I get up, go to work, go to the barn and/or run errands, go home, make supper, then do some scrapping/work out/laundry, then go to bed. Really that is my normal life. Blah!!!!!!
I really need to spice things up!
Maybe I should change professions? If I had to pick a different one right now, I would want to be a bounty hunter like Stephanie Plum. She is the main character in the Janet Evonavich books that I'm reading. Seriously people...you NEED to read these books!!
Now why a bounty hunter you ask??
Do I think I could handle being shot at?? I think I could.
Do I think I could handle having my house broken into all the time?? That one would bother me.
Can I handle dead people? Yep
High speed car chases? Bring it on
Do I want to be Stephanie Plum just so I can have a "Ranger" and "Morelli" of my own? HECK YES!!! Ranger and Morelli are the leading men and very cool characters. I've had a few of those characters in my life at times and they always seem to stir/shake things up. Not always for the good either but they've always been great to look at:)
I think that's what I need... to stir things up a little! As I'm nearing my 30th birthday, I see my life as routine...repetative...bland... That is not what I want! I need some spice! If anyone needs a bounty hunter, I'm available for hire!!! ha ha ha!
Actually I think a little vacation will do just fine, plus I won't be shot at (hopefully) and I already have a leading hottie to bring with me. Are you up for it L*??
Have a great weekend:) I'm hoping to get snowed in.....L* got home this morning.....things are looking spicier by the minute..... ;)

I've been tagged!
My friend, Kat, tagged me and since I've been absent from the blog world I'm finally getting to it. YAY!! I am a ~tagged~ virgin so this is exciting! I know I need to get a life!! Oh well:)
So, the rules are simple: link to the person who tagged you, list the rules in your blog, share six non-important quirks about yourself, tag at least 3 people, and leave those you tagged a comment so they can play too! Here it goes....
1. I am a "Suzy homemaker"!! I love to cook, bake, do crafts, ect. I don't love to clean but I LOVE a clean house! I've told L* numerous times that him cleaning our house is a HUGE turn on!! He just laughs... at first he thought I was kidding...
2. With that being said, I'm also a diva/princess! I love anything with bling, glitter, sparkle, shine, ect. I love bright colors, animal prints, anything funky/trendy but not funky weird bohemian.
3. I love animals... epsecially baby animals...puppies, kittens, chicks, foals, bunnies, ect. It's a good thing that we don't live in the country or we would have a zoo!
4. I can draw blood (legally as a phlebotomist) from a human no problem, but to give an animal a shot is painful to me. I believe it's because I can tell the human that there's going to be a poke and they understand. I tell my horse that and she doesn't understand. She just looks at me like "why are you hurting me mommy?". It breaks my heart. I can't/won't do it! Actually I can do it as I've had to a couple of times but I'll avoid it at all costs!
5. I SWORE I would NEVER date a younger guy! I had gone out with a couple in college (for about 2 seconds) and they were so ~yuck~ (very hot, but still yuck!) that I didn't want to do that again. Low and behold I married a younger guy!! L* had to do some convincing in order for it to work as I still had the [younger guy + me + dating = BIG YUCK] mindset but it worked! In all actuality, he didn't have to do THAT much convincing...have you seen him?...yum! It's hard to say ~no~ to that:)
6. When I was little, my brother and I were playing in a stairwell (why?? I'm not sure) but someone opened the big steel door (going in and out of the stairwell) directly into my eye. I still have a very nice scar just below my eyebrow from it. You really have to get close to see it but it's there!
I'm very wordy today!!! It just seems to be flowing. Also, my header also seems to have worked itself out and now fits nicely in the green lines. YAY!! The reason Faith (my horse) doesn't have a heart around her is because it wouldn't fit. Because she is at the edge of the picture, I would have had a bunch of white space in the heart and it didn't look good. No, it is not because I love her less...if that was the case then the dogs would have squares as the cats and horse are my favorites!! Not that I don't love the dogs, but they are L* true love not mine. I just love them by association. If I was single I would only have cats and horses...dogs are too needy for me. Plus they smell funny and lick. Yuck! L*, on the other hand, would only have dogs as he thinks cats and maybe horses smell funny, ect. It doesn't help when the "fat one" sits on him and sneezes in his face or turns around and gives him the "business end". (It is funny as hell though!!) We do compromise for eachother!!
