So, how many of you watched the National Finals Rodeo? Well, I saw what could be the funniest bulldog performance I've ever seen. This cowboy lost the steer but chased him down - on foot - grabbed him by the tail and got dragged around a bit before he finally crawled his way up to the horns and wrestled him to the ground.
That was Tuesday so if you want to check maybe it's on YouTube or something. I don't know - they hadn't invented that yet the last time I was online. :o)
The week was so uneventful I can't even think of what I watched on TV.
So I'd love to talk about Sunday though...I woke up and it was a beautiful snowy morning. It really came down and by noon there were a few inches!! that afternoon my old boss came in looking for volunteers to help shovel show. Of course, I was excited to have the opportunity to, one, work hard and, two, play in the snow! Then he says, by the way I'll be coming to pick you up around 2:30 - AM!!!
Oh brother, I've just realized that I can't find Claire's address and she's not answering her phonee!! Aargh! Well, it looks like this will be a bit late, eh? [editor's note - I finally found my phone...]
Anyway back to shovelling snow - it was cold and it was hard because it was the second shovelling and the ice had settled under the new snow...
Can I just say that when a curling iron is the heaviest thing you've picked up in a year, shovelling snow for five hours is nothing to scoff at - ever.
As I write this a day later I can tell you all that this is the beaviest pen I've ever held. did youknow that you could pull that muxcle below your thumb? Yes! It's true.
Oh and here's a lovely little portion of the story, I'd hate to leave anything out. I don't want you to feel cheated in any way dear reader. :o)
Sunday afternoon the girls and a few staff members went out to shovel the furst fall and while they were there they built a nice big snoman named Doc (D.O.C. - silly) [ed. note: Department of Corrections]. Well, when we went out that morning/night - moght, nirning, hmm - we discovered a crime scene for Doc had fallen and he had a boot print on his back. :o(
At some point after daylight I was starting to get annoyed and silly because I was cold and tired and my arms had actually fallen off of my body twice. So I saw Doc and my opportunity to relieve aggression and be silly. Everyone knows I'll do almost anything for a laugh...
Well, in my head I visualized running over and kicking the giant snowball that created the head of this beast and having it simply turn to snow dust at the lightest tap. We'd laugh - and all would be right with the world once again.
Sometimes visuals can be so deceiving because what really happened was I made certain everyone was looking, ran the ten feet and kicked as though I was going for the gam winning field goal at the superbowl and kicking into the wind.
Can anyone tell me what happens to snowballs when they sit a long time? Yes, that's right, they turn to ice...Where were you when I was being oh so cute?
Now I have pulled that muscle that runs up your shin bone and the top of my foot is black and blue. But, I was right about one thing - everyone laughed. Including myself - that is until I was alone - then I cried. :o)
Well, there's my week - I really enjoy sharing everything with you - thanks for reading, thanks for caring - until next time -
Don't work too hard; don't sit too long, and always, always love too much.
