That's what I've been lately, which is why I haven't written much.  See, MW is out of town for a few (where few =6) weeks, and I have this massive list of things to get done.  Also, I had two riding lessons last week.  And the weather's been beautiful, so when I'm not riding, 2.0 and I have gone walking. 

So, first the riding.  Tuesday's lesson was a joint one, with my friend MediaGirl.  (We're on the Water for Life committee together, and I got her into riding.)  Anyway, I was on Bruno, and the lesson went like this:  Frustrated (me), because he's not listening, Calm (both of us), because we got him to listen, Pissed off (him, because he decided the lesson was over when it wasn't).  Thursday I was exhausted and got off the beltline like I was going home.  After getting back on, I almost missed the exit for the barn.  As such, Solie and I took it easy.  We did hillwork in the fields (working towards the canter).  It was a much better lesson than Tuesday.  I can't wait for the canter!

Yesterday, I left work early- massive headache.  Couldn't think.  Was supposed to do SPCs, but would never have been able to keep the dilutions straight.  (Evidence that I couldn't think:  I forgot to lock my file cabinet and I left my watch and ring on my desk.)  After coming home and taking Tylenol, Sudafed, and a nap, I felt much better.  That evening, 2.0 and I went walking where we usually do, but we took a different trail  (Raleigh has a fairly extensive greenway system.)  This trail was less crowded and quieter.  And 2.0 pointed out to me where she'd seen a copperhead (This is not a plus.)  It was a good walk and the weather was beautiful.  (Confidential to MW:  Remind me to take you there when you get back.  But watch for copperheads.)

Today, I am going to MediaGirl's engagement party.  I ordered her wedding gift over the phone.  It's from her registry, but I'm not sure it's what she'll get.  The guy who took the order?  Very confused.  Good thing I've done cashiering.  First, he didn't get the expiration date for my credit card (I had to remind him.  He said, "That's important, isn't it?"  Yes.  They will not process the charge without it.)  Then he promised me someone would call me back with the order details.

WG:  But you never asked for my phone number.
Store guy:  Hmm, I guess I'll need that.

And finally, Jasper, watching kitty TV!
