Melt down on Trot

So once again my friend Tiffany from MS and Trot had a melt down on Trot and left which is like her third time she threw a hissy and left only this time nobody begged her to come back. When she threw a fit on MS people soothed her and asked her to come back so she did and Tiff was able to be happy for a bit of time. I have to say it is really funny how these horse boards are all women and the fights and backstabbing is just constant and nonstop. My gal pal Snowfool got some sort of idea on Trot that the poster Lucky was me and went after that poster with her claws out like an eagle on crack. Thankfully Snowfool did man up and apologize once she realized that somebody had lead her astray on telling her that this Lucky person was me which makes me hope that people will remember that these other posters don't always know everything.

Enough Trot excitement for now then.

Kind of a comfy day

My Stormy got his nails done by super groomer Heidi today. Storm was able to have baby kittens walking around him sniffing him and doing halloween cat and hissing when he sniffed them. Needless to say I will have to bring Heidi some Lattes for her kind work doing Mr. Storms toes.

Next week is one exciting week since we have Fabrica and Jack coming up on Thursday to Friday then Friday we head to Boston for the Boston gay mens chorus. Saturday I have the Northgate Christmas Barn Party and Sunday I have Bikram yoga with Fabrica....woooo! I like fun stuff like that though. I need to plan some super fab outfits since I have not nailed down any outfits yet expect for some navy false eyelashes for the Boston trip yet. I need to watch some more youtube videos on styling my hair since that gives me some nice ideas as well. Why not I love to try stuff like that and it is cheaper than paying to have it styled since not working makes it hard to pay people to style my hair.

I tried a new coffee place in Bethleham and it was very very good. It is on my list as an enjoyable place to have a cappuccino. Brian, who has now moved to NC always suggested it and I was finally able to get myself there....whoohwoo!

Facebook v MS and me

I take a huge compliment that my friend Silly Filly compared me to Facebook. Clearly this isn't true, but, the fact that in her mind I had as much impact on Modern Saddlebred as FB is somewhat empowering. At least it gives the ladies something to get the very slow forum going since they need something to nag and whine about in order to have a reason to view and post....lol. Thanks Silly you are the best!

Thursday 1:22 AM

Well here it is 1:22 AM which is when I sort of start thinking I should go to bed soon. I need to be at my volunteer position by 1 PM tomorrow so I need to be up before noon it would appear. I need to paint my toenails, walk Storm, pack up my costumes and other outfits for our Friday departure. We need to be in Stowe VT by 1PM for our luncheon which I'm very much looking forward to.

I love walking Storm almost every single day when I get up which is usually like 11 AM but that works out great for Storm since he likes sleeping in as well. After that we shower and find a place to get cappuccino and walk storm while I sip my wonderful beverage. It is such great fun meeting people with Storm. My dog is like an ambassador the way he brings people together and it warms my heart. I'm very lucky to have a dog like STORM.

Equine Affair in MA November 14

My sister and I will be helping to work the Saddlebred booth November 14 at Equine Affair in Springfield MA. I think it should be rather fun and a great thing to do. I have to say what made me really think about it is reading the pages and pages of women complaining about how awful WEG was yet they had not offered to help in any form at all so I decided that I had an opportunity to help so I would sieze it. My sister was quick to answer the call as well!

My Halloween costume has arrived!

Big news that my Halloween costume has arrived and fits! Oh yes it has. I have tweeked it slightly and I am a "Tiger Trainer" instead of a Lion Tamer since lion tamer is just so darn cliche and all. I had to send the original cosume back and get a size smaller and I'm quite pleased with the fit, just have to grab a strapless bra or something and I should be ready to rock. I'm so glad that Stefan suggested the option of sending it back and exchanging not my orignal plan of tayloring the top to be smaller. Halloween is just so darn fun!

Trot.org is better than the Real Housewives of New Jersey

I have discovered that the website www.trot.org is better reading than watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey! I happened to log on under my husband and I cannot believe how much these women fight about everything! They fight about Saddlebred rescue, they had a huge blow out over a Horse Illustrated ad, and I think the most current fight is about the World Equestrian Games....hahah! This is just in a couple of days as I'm sure I have missed a lot. I guess Miss Julie (whatever her last name is) is pretty darn tame compared to the major fighting that is going on. They are updating their "banning" policy in the future....lol there is going to be nobody left if they keep that up. I will have to take some time and read up on the current major fighting tonight. Stay tuned......

My Dad's birthday

Sunday is my Dad's birthday and how sad it is that my Dad isn't here anymore. My mother sent a small check to put some flowers on his grave which I shall do and perhaps a cake or something like that. The sadness and guilt is quite profound or I can't even find the words to really express myself. It just doesn't seem right although I know that lots of people go through far deeper issues than this it just really took something away and makes me realize that nothing will ever be right again.

Volunteering rocks!

I'm a volunteer for the Littleton Regional Hospital and how wonderful it is! My position is a roaming volunteer and I go in and out of all the rooms and visit with the patients, see if I can get them water, adjust lights, curtains, tv, get magazines, newspaper or just talk. I also take away a lot of food trays, get tissues. I will sometimes take patients out in wheelchairs so they arnen't stuck in their room so much. It is highly rewarding except that it doesn't pay and so the fact that my only job is a volunter does make things a little tight....he he. I have my favorite patient and I sure hope I get to see her again.

Stormy!

Just got a call from the vet that Storm my baby dog is doing after his surgery. He did have a total tear on his ACL and meniscus. He had both chronic and fresh injury the vet said which is exactly how it went down. Stefan and I cannot wait to get him home. My mother sent him $20 in the mail to get some new toys today although I used some to go and buy myself a jug of water. I can't help, but, thinking it is kind of funny to borrow money from my dog. We will pick Storm up Wednesday morning and we cannot wait to see his little face.

If I'm boring don't follow my every move!

I had a friend on FB' that posted some sort of link about building a mosque on ground zero of 9/11 that people are wondering why this is a problem for some. In case you are wondering Leslie something or other I can't remember her name now is a hater of muslims so I told her that I don't think people are wondering why they don't want a mosque. If you are for or against it there are some pretty clear reasons about it. In any event she decided that I am totally socially unaware, boring and then decided to list every single event that I have done in the past two months on FB. Now I'm thinking that if I'm that boring why on earth would you follow my actions? I'm also bubbled headed! I guess I need to monetzize my blog if I'm going to get traffic like that going since I get these women that love to hate yet love to read me....lol!

Big day for Storm

Tuesay morning Storm has surgery! Kind of nervous...I was asleep, but, now I'm up. 10 AM surgery in Hanover NH.

Last day of work

Today was my last day of work at Shaws. I will start work August 30 in Woodsville Rite Aid full time as a RX tech which is good to be back in the drugs. I will miss the people so very much at Shaws though at least most of them. It was amusing the way the store manager spoke to me, but, never addressed that i was leaving not even a "good luck" I think the fact that I made more money than she thought I deserved was an issue. She also tried to cut my pay by $4 an hour but my pharmacy people didn't let that happen so it was a basic "in your face Aubit"! I doubt she forgot that one. At least I found a job that does me just as well. The floral/produce manager was awful awful! Cathy Corliss pretty much put the nail in my coffin and Rite Aid called at the perfect time to get me away. Sigh it is still sad and scary.

Trot.org

I found it very funny and sad reading trot.org tonight. This was the first time in a long time and it appears they are having a bit of a hard time with member. At least they cannot blame me or at least in theory they can't since Julie claims that I sent her e mails saying I had a stolen horse of hers so I guess they could still blame me.....Those grumpy women!

Fun night coming!

So anyway I was so thinking that we totally needed to get to a strip club, but, it seemed like Stefan didn't want to go with just me but then friends totally wanted to go and wallawlalla off we are going on Saturday! Yay because I fear that Wednesday night will bring me no sleep at all because I work until 10 PM then work at 7AM the next day which isn' that major a deal, but, I stress out about it and then I surely won't sleep at all. I will take my valerian root at work if I remember to put it in my pocket that is and take my Ambien when I get home. It makes it ok knowing that I have a super fun night to look forward to. Sleep late on Wednesday and make sure I work out before work since I don't need to go in until 4:30.

I got a call from the vet today and they needed to reschedule Storm's surgery from August 13 to August 24! Oh man that poor puppy! Having a three legged dog isn't easy to take.

Redneck dream days

So is it the redneck dream to have your wedding reception in the VFW hall and drive to Maine for a honeymoon?

Strip club

I really think Stefan and I need to go back to a strip club. We haven't been to one since December since we were in Montreal. I'm totally jonzing for one for some reason. Not the buffet or anything I like seeing the girls dancing around all pretty. He he I don't know why, but, it is fun to spend about an hour there or so. Maybe more if there are a bunch of us.

Best of

Best cappacinno in North America Mojos in Franconia NH

zipping and zapping

So anyway I just realized I better check with my sister and make sure that her trainers have not stolen my MMX saddle that she uses and is kept at the barn. Since they are known to steal nosebands I can only assume my MMX is at risk for being swiped at any moment. I know if we confront Jonn about this very real issue we can only expect to be met with vile words spit back in our face. At least this is how a former customer explained the situation when her highly valuable noseband came up missing. With 673 nosebands 578 girths and 2,345 other various pieces of tack I know this is clearly the issue that happened to her. Anyway moving on I think I will get to the business of complaining about how hot it is or no how rainy it is or no no I mean global warming.......Oh no the winter is far to long....no no the summer is to long.....to icy...no no no....I'm just bored and I can't admit it because that would isn't right at my age! I can only say other people have to much time on my hands. Over and out for now I'm going to eat a cherry.

This is huge just huge news!

Well my poor baby dog Storm the best German Shepherd Dog in the entire world has been limping and uncomfortable for far to long and has seen the vet a couple of times with no real outcome. Today he saw Dr. Hyde or Hide?? and he got a pretty firm diagnosis of a knee issue and will have surgery on August 13. Poor Storm let out a huge huge cry when the vet palpated his knee and his cry about ripped mine and Stefan's heart out.....oh man. What a relief though to know that his pain is able to be fixed. I was concerned that he could have wobbles, arthritis or some serious issue. Having surgery is hardly an issue to be taken lightly but this is a good outcome and we look forward to having a fixed up baby dog. I can send him a get well chicken bouquet during his hospital stay instead of flowers since he clearly would enjoy that more than roses or something.

Wednesday

For some reason working in the floral department can be very satisfying yet also makes me oddly nervous. I suppose because I still don't totally know what I'm doing in there. I like all the color of the flowers, and upgrading them along with watering, but, I'm sadly inadequate when it comes to real knowledge on these things. The watering coupler came apart and I thought I could just use it anyway and pretty much just blasted the plant almost onto the floor so I kind of scrapped that plan. I will have to ask a person who is a bit more capable than myself. I did make an arrangement that I thought was rather pretty. Nothing like Deb can do though although granted she has years on me. I did make a balloon bouquet with no problem today.

So anyway I have to work at 7AM Thursday which means no cappacino at Mojo's I will have to go to DD's uggggg! I get out at 2PM but I won't drink cappacino that late in the day oh well!

Another interesting poster

I also recall that Kim who also has some beautiful Dobermans actually reposted this blog on Modern Saddlebred yet claimed that she didn't actually read my blog which is really rather comical. How would she know what blog post she would like to post on Modern Saddlebred if she didn't read my blog I'm wondering. Kim has some really beautiful hunter ASB's and maybe she could post some pictures or provide a link to her blog.

Most crazy things yet

This is one of the most crazy things yet Julie Andrew from PA believes that I sent her messages claiming to have her stolen mare at some point over the year. Clearly this was untrue and so I decided that I would request that she send me these messages since she keeps track of every messages ever sent to her and even likes to post my PM's. No surprises that she has been unable to provide this proof she claims to have. She didn't mind spreading the story at all though. Julie also decided that she would just tell Olivia that I was going to move Boo to NH when I was trying to make the difficult decision to move a difficult horse closer to home. Why Julie Andrew (ASBStars) felt this was necessary I don't know.

Modern Saddlebred even more good stuff!

The first time I went to a show in PA Kathi who lives in Ohio wanted to get together and discuss how much she hated Attafox the mod from trot although now she pretends that they are big pals and I am her enemy. Poor little Snowfool or Susan Norton sent me dire warnings that my friend Dani was a lesbian and to beware which is so crazy!!!!!!!! I can hardly believe the wacked out stuff these ladies do and I am sure I can just keep adding it up and adding to the list.

I know this is very rambling and run on, but, this is my blog and I like to just totally run with it before I forget it so that is why. I can always go back and edit if I feel so inclined.

Modern Saddlebred Friends

Well anyway the women on Modern Saddlebred are so totally crazy it boggles the mind. Tiffany is a key player if you don't just totally send her fluffly little posts she goes into a rage and starts posting how I'm mean and awful to her. I think she even said I needed to burn in hell or something like that. This is because I said her horse Carson looked more relaxed with a junior exhibitor than her...um yeah ok Tiffany. Another person posts swears, and yet another moderator thinks I need medications....good grief. This is started because Tiffany got mad around Christmas when I didn't send her a Secret Santa gift. Tiffany sent me a not through FB about how hurt and scared she was because she didn't get this gift yet she thinks I'm the one that needs medication. Tracy from Maine that likes to be called Bigsky posts non stop about how the weather is never right and then about how her trainers (who happen to train my sisters horse) plotted and planned to steal her $29 cavesson for two years and proceeds to slam John and Sherri all over the internet. I'm so sure that John and Sherri wanted to steal her ancient noseband...LOL. Tracy also used to send messages to me about how much fun it would be to meet up at Deerfield fair yet when it comes to actually meeting she couldn't muster up the energy to get out of her camper to come say hi and this was when she still liked me. She bought a sheet from me at a very good deal! Tracy could only get out of her camper to purchase huge amounts of fattening fair food and then post that she wonders why she gains weight because she simply never eats at all. Ok got to go post more in a bit!

New bathroom

I cannot believe how nice our new spa like bathroom is. The mirror turned out better than I thought. I thought it would be just something to grab and put up until I got something I really liked but I realize I have no plans at all for a new one. Our Spencer Tunnick photo that we posed for in June is perfect even though I didn't get in the picture just Stefan is amazing for a bathroom. It is just as well because I would probably be thinking if my body measured up or not so I just like the photo. I'm just pleased pleased with our colors and being able to have a large separate shower and a jetted spa tub. I bet not many cashiers get to come home and sit in one and eat chocolate truffles! My gold mermaid also looks amazing in there. Stefan made a good choice to spray paint it gold.

Fun

It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to rankle people up over almost nothing. Ha Ha ha I have now become the most mean person! Feed me more people I love and crave the attention...post it baby!

Snow today

We had a bunch of snow today that made it impossible for me to get to work. I had zero complaints that I snuggled back into my comfy bed. Little mr. puffers seemed ok with staying in his bed as well. Mr. Puffers, of course, went bonkers about the snow and worked his back or legs to much and now is sore. We also had some super major good soup! The bread was more lower down because of a malfunction on ingrediants but I can't say I didn't enjoy it though. I also enjoyed the spata like crazy. We humans sure do enjoy water I mean between ocean front property, lake front property, swimming, etc.

I really need to check this out.

So I realized I can't remember if my dad passed on Feb. 6 or 9 of 2009. I can very easily drive by his stone and look which my sister and brother cannot.it flew out of my head. I will check it out.
