Goo for you
Life has been goo for me. Lots of fun stuff. Let's see...
Last week Friday (the Friday before last Friday), my friend Mel and I went to Devon. It was AWESOME and fun. Mel's mom used to train horses, notably for the Tokyo Olympics. Then she became a top trainer in reining (of all things) in England. AWESOME. Anyways, they had several events that we saw (lots of saddlebred stuff), including this coach race thing and friesians under saddle (sooo pretty!). Then we watched Gambler's Choice jumping. We both loved it. Laura Chapot fell off (bad fall--she started falling as she was going over a jump...no goo for her).
Then that weekend on Saturday night...I did something, but I'm blanking. Hmm. Oh well. The on Sunday I left for North Carolina. It was a nice place. REALLY crappy food (for the most part). I had the experience of eating at a restaurant called Biscutville. It sounds good, but it was so gross. I got cheesy grits to try and I thought I was going to vomit. Despite the food, the trip was fun. The interviews I did were great. My boss was thoroughly impressed with my interviewing abilities. Little does she know that I really concentrated on the greatest interviewer of all time for the past month: Howard Stern. No, I didn't ask them their bra sizes or to tell me about their spread in Playboy, but the questions were good nonetheless. Great success! Plus I got to schmooze a lot, which I can be good at. And I met a woman there who worked at the one agency and she's got 2 horses! She said we can go riding next time I'm up. yay!
Then I came back. Sunday, Rachel and I went to the gay pride parade. We had a great time even though it was nearly 100 degrees. We even got to meet Bruce Valanch! Imagine that. We also got our picture taken with some really super ultra hot guy in a purple speedo who was from one of the floats. They were all wearing speedos and spraying people with water guns. Dreamy. Seriously. So Rachel and I got our pictures with him too (and surely left a trail of drool...). As if the day wasn't hot enough! Then we walked around Penn's landing and got several samples of stuff (mainly condoms and lube--I figured I'd hand them out to my friends who couldn't make it as souveniers). Then I spotted my friend Martez amongst the huge group of people there and we hung out. Martez is so hilarious. Then we left because we were so hot.
This week is SO BUSY at work. It SUCKS. No time for Facebook ;) Really though, it's crazy. Then, on top of that, I think I'm getting that horse this weekend, then I am going to North Carolina on Monday and Tuesday again, and Saturday night is the Killers of Comedy show...and then the week after next I'm going to be gone to St. Louis and then Buffalo...God! too busy. Oh, and my boss informed me that I have to visit like 12 pilot sites this summer between now and September...ummm....that's more than one per week. Crazy. But then again, it's cool to travel around the country for work. :)
Gotta go--I have to confirm my mom's extra super special birthday present and call a stable to confirm that I can move Cody. And do laundry and cancel my gym membership. Jeez! Adios!
