I really do love it.. I just, forget? don't take the time? to update my life on it. So much... so much... shall I start at the "end" and go backwards?..lol.. I think I shall ;).
I went bowling with the "gang" Friday night. We had a grand time... especially Dominique, Jason, and Jess (Jay's g/f) laughing at my dancing. They said I was just funny to watch and that's all I could get out of them. *shrug*... what can I say? It was 1 in the morning and it was either dance to the music while I bowled or use the bowling ball for a pillow. Dancing was much more invigorating ;)..lol. Jay and Jon decided to take to tickling Rache and I. Jay finds my "spastic"-ness amusing... but somehow it seems those two are subversively teaching me to fight/wrestle better. Strange mental sensation. I was at Dominikki's before we went bowling (I just had the weirdo sensation of talking/writing backwards like Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily".. gross) and she showed me this slide show w/music of pics of Jon.. the music she chose was hilarious. Jon's last name is Bae (pronounced "bay") and since he doesn't like being called "Jon-Jon" we sometimes call him "Bae-Bae" and Domi had "Baby Love" by the Supremes playing in the background. It was so hilariously perfect w/Jon's personality. Before I went to Dominique's house I met her and her sister Heather and Jon at the mall to do some prom dress shopping for Heth. Dominique and I about died laughing over smoothies and Jon has good taste in dresses. Not for himself mind you ;).. but for girls. And not in a way that makes you feel.... slimy... ya know? Oh and you'll never guess who I ran into in Belks in Asheville Mall.... Autumn H**p*r! She's back in town from Blacksburg, Va. and she and her sister were shopping for Easter dresses. We were so amazed to run into one another and wonder of all wonders she and Dominique had some sort of class together before... small world ain't it? :)
Ah.. what else?
My.. I have been rambling.. but I'm enjoying it.. %) :)
I blew my hair dry today and guess what? It rained. I had wondered why we had such nice weather all this past week. I hadn't been blow drying my hair. Whatever shall I do? I look so much nicer with my hair styled than with it left to itself... I guess endure rainy days? *sigh* such a life..lol
I love my Nicholas. I've gotten to work him about 4 days this week. I hope to be riding again by my birthday. He's lost some weight this winter. I was reading in my "The Horse" text book today about nutrition and I'm seriously considering putting him back on sweet feed over the summer.. not alot, but I'm questioning the energy supply from just oats. Or the weight loss could be due to less nutrition in the hay. But the lady Dad bought it from said it was first cutting from out west. And it smells good, has minimal dust, and is quite leafy with no weeds. Very good hay to the eye and nose. Well, anywho.. the weight loss hasn't hurt him any. I just want to make sure he's getting nutrition for the work load I'm anticipating giving him this spring/summer. I've also got to decide what dewormer and vaccinations to give him this spring. I think I'm gonna be alright on the dewormer... It's how much exposure to other horses factor with the vaccination. I guess the standard EWT and a few weeks later give him a strangles (equine strepp throat) shot. Who knows... I think I'll ask God a bit later... there are so many differing opinions out there. It sometimes makes it hard to be an informed and intelligent horse owner. And I need to clean my saddle and tack. Heck, I need to buy an new saddle. I'm considering getting a Bates but I can't remember if I thought the all purpose or the close contact was more comfy. I just wanted a Bates because they have the gullet change system thing that's very nice to have if you have multiple horses. Not that I have multiple horses but it would be nice in the near future if I had a bigger barn and better (more effective) fencing. But what am I saying anyway? and yet... there's some promise in my soul that I cannot explain that nudges me in the direction of thinking and planning and expanding and making room in my life, my heart, my soul.... for more? Not just horses.. friends? people? I suppose so......
*I muse and rain patters on the window pane.*
God give me the wisdom for the love in my heart. Guard my heart and keep it from what pains You can. Hold me up as You stretch out my heart and my life for the more.. the abundance.. that You've called it to. And do likewise for my girls. I love them so much. Thank You for giving them to me and letting them come through my life. Give me wisdom with "my" boys and help me be to them what You would have me be. Let them look back on their time with me as a time when You touched them/healed them/did something only You could do in their hearts. Help me be a catalyst of that. Sustain me my Lord and my Husband. Give strength to my frame as You guide me through this dance of life and give wisdom to my limbs. Keep me from ears dull to Your voice and a heart cold to Your song. Thank You for loving me and singing in me...to me. I love you, my Lord, my Daddy, my God. I love you.

Some of the Lighter things in Life ;)
Hm.... Have been remiss in having entirely too serious of posts here? I think I have. I'm not always this serious ;). Hm... some non-serious stuff....
The army wants me. The recuiters at school promised little to no yelling in boot camp. And it's only 9 weeks afterall... then off to vet school. It's the no yelling that gets me. %)... like that'd ever happen in bootcamp %)..lol..oh! What was even better! Poor Grace, I ended up giving them my address (as in having to literally write it down) and my friend Grace watched me do it. And as I walked over to our cafeteria table the dear soul freaked, yelling at the recruiters "she's my Chemistry tutor! You can't have her! (You didn't sign your life away did you, Megan?!) I'll come to the trenches with my chemistry book!!" etc... I'm not sure if the recuiter was offended or not but definately startled. An adorable, but very fiesty, 16 year old startled a very buff far taller army seargent. Quite amusing....
I'm working in language lab right now... 3 minutes left. The snow days have made me antsy. I got so dreafully bored yesterday.
And now it's March 10th (it was the 3rd when I started this post :$). :) Well, some more funnies since I last posted. I have this coffee mug that plugs into the cigarette lighter in my truck and keeps my coffee hot. I told my co-worker, Chad, about it and he's claimed I'm brewing my coffee on the way to work, or I might as well be. ;).. Well today was one of the first days I've brought the acclaimed mug in and Chad picked it up and was kinda examining the plug in bulb on it. We each ended up our separate ways the next hour tutoring people, but when we found ourselves sitting on the desks again, he began telling me what he had told a lady he was tutoring about me. She must have seen him examining the mug and asked what the knob thing on it was. He told her it was my mug and that's where I plug in my IV drip tube. I fill my mug with coffee every morning, hang my mug by the visor (it has a very large funky handle), and run the IV tube from the knob to a catheter in my neck. That's why I always wear turtle necks. %) :):D...lol... and what's truely funny is the dear boy is at least in his late 20's and definately married. They never grow up do they?
There was a funny episode with the dark headed Graham earlier in the week too. It had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, and Graham laughing and staring at me incredulously. He kept telling me to "just breathe, Megan, breathe"... laughing at me.. then growing concerned again that I still was laughing and still couldn't breathe and by some (what seemed to him to be) strange perversity appeared to be enjoying myself immensly. (I believe he found it disturbing that someone could be not breathing and incredibly mirthful in the same moment. *shrug* I know I was havin' a blast ;). ) There's no way I could re-create what happened but, with Graham having just gotten off the telephone w/his mom and a little piece of conversation of some other people just finishing:
Graham: "She said 'hell'."
Me: "Who? Your mom?"(Confused look (he's a homeschool kid who's mom wouldn't be caught saying such things ;)).)
"What! You're saying my mother should go to hell?!"
"NO! Who said 'hell'?"
"YOU said 'hell'."
"Well, yes but no you said someone said 'hell', who?"
"What does this have to do with my mother going to 'hell'?"
"Nothing! I mean, I don't think she's going to hell. I never said she was... I just wanna know who said 'hell'?"
"YOU! You just said it!"
"NO! I didn't! I want to know who said 'hell'!"
"THERE! YOU SAID IT AGAIN!"
"I DIDN'T SAY 'HELL'!!!"
***2 seconds of silence and staring at each other***
*** First round of gut wrenching delightful laughter***
"I...*gasp* I...*gasp* just...*giggle* want to know.....*gasp* who said 'hell'***laughter*** ... *gasp* when *deep breath* .... when you said 'She said hell'."
*deep breath* "Oh, then... Kia said 'hell' just before she left. You didn't hear her?"
*giggle growing as I replied* "Why do you think I asked 'Who *giggle* said 'hell'?"
****Second Round of non-breathing laughter****
me still laughing and Graham: "just breathe. breathe. it's alright. what's so funny?"
**begin laughing harder**
"NO! No! just breathe! Breathe! (under his breath: you'd think was getting you through a pregnancy) Breathe. Big deep breath."
**big deep breath.. and then laughing again***... and so the story went
.....and I fear I've just made no sense but made myself laugh riotously again so.. I'll be thee all love and adieu!!!!!
