Monday, nothing big.

Tuesday, I got a haircut. It's too short. I then had a riding lesson. I rode Solie, for the first time in a long time. Old Man, how I'd missed you! It was very windy, so we worked on hunter patterns. I can now get him to halt and stand still (much like me, Solie is not about the patience), which is very important for the dressage tests. I didn't canter him, but that's coming. I can now keep Bruno at a canter. Note that it is an ugly canter, especially on my part.

Wednesday, seminar on the new Stage II DBP rule, with some info on LT2ESWTR. (Seriously, only Angeler will really understand that. Pheobs is all, "I've heard of those.")

Thursday was the day of suckitude at work. (Hi, I am now a licensed PE. I am therefore extremely qualified to scrape mold off of soil.) Thankfully, I met up with another contact at the seminar. Mom: "Are you sure he knows who you are?" WG: "I've drunk beer with him on several occasions." Beer: the key to successful networking.

Friday, found out that the City of Raleigh has deemed my application worthy for further review. Cdub and I went to TirNaNog to see the Dublin City Ramblers. The band was great, but it was very crowded, and I wore the wrong shoes. (Usually comfortable, but not on the stone floor!). We left early.

Saturday, D came up. As usual, he got to go grocery shopping with me! Lucky man! We met up with some of my Jaycee friends at the 42nd Street Oyster Bar. I had raw oysters, for the first time ever. I'd also ordered the fried oyster platter, but D's MahiMahi special was better. Much better.

OK- off to do more car work. I've some posts floating around in my head, so more later.
