Huh? [Jan. 1st, 2009|05:23 pm]

I had a strange dream last night...I've forgotten the plot, but I know it involved:
  • me as a cowgirl
  • a land border between Texas and Japan (wtf?)
  • train tracks smack in the middle of a cattle drive
  • triggering an avalanche on purpose
  • riding around on horseback
  • lots and lots of cows
It all made perfect sense, but when I tried to explain it to Jeff and John this morning, it disintegrated completely.

I've had some peculiar dreams in my day, but this takes the cake. I was the DD last night, so it can't be blamed on alcohol. When I was in therapy, Betty Jo used to make me recount all my dreams, but I don't think even SHE could have made sense of that.

We talked about the best things of 2008 last night at the party... (Me: Roz, John: Mr. Grumbles *sniffles*, Jeffrey: 36-0--the Iron Bowl score) and the worst non-tragic event (Me: the great butternut squash massacre, John: I don't remember, but I bet having to SMELL the results of the squash disaster would rank pretty highly, and Jeffrey: the loss to Florida in the SEC championship). I never thought, back in the days when I read books at football games, that I'd end up with such a lunatic. I s'pose it's my cross to bear. :)

We all agreed that we are looking forward to the inauguration--only 19 more days of GWB!

Happy New Year, everybody!

I have some old Ariats mouldering about somewhere from my barrel-racing days...but they're lace-ups, not the cool kind. The boots for hunter-jumper stuff were terrible--you had to have boot pulls to get them on, and someone else to help you get them off. :)

You used to barrel race? No shit? I'm impressed... do you still ride at all?

I did barrel-racing, and a little bit of dressage and show-jumping. I don't ride any more--I sold both of my horses before I went to college. I miss it a lot, but I really don't think I'll ever be able to afford it. :(

My family still has their place out in the country, and my aunt lives there now and has a ton of horses that she breeds and trains...so I can go ride sometimes.

Really? John didn't think the acquisition of a house and land was the best thing that happened in 2008? Cause if I'd bought a house last year, that'd be at the top of my list.

Ah, well. Here's to 2009 and the reign of Obama!

I guess Mr. Grumbles was a more profound emotional experience, or something!

I bought some new shoes to wear to the inauguration this weekend--I needed something comfy. I can't wait! :D
