Some days, I love just throwing myself into my work. Today is one of those days--I wish every day was like this. ;) I called the tack shop, and it looks like they aren't going to need me this week, which is fine, but if it's going to be like this on a regular basis, I can't do that. I started looking for other part-time jobs... as much as I love working at the tack shop, if she can't provide me with steady work, I'm going to have to find it elsewhere. On top of that, I can make double what I'm making through the shop, so it would make sense to go somewhere else. Maybe I can just work there on Saturdays or something... if she ever sells the shop, I think I need to keep my foot in the door. ;)
A co-worker is trying to set me up with a friend of his... ugh. He just mentioned one day that his friend is a "nice guy", hint hint, wink wink. He hasn't mentioned it since last week, so maybe I lucked out and he forgot, haha. Normally, the only friends that set me up with guys I actually like are the friends that actually know me. My co-worker doesn't know me well enough yet, so I can only see it ending on an awkward note.
It's going to be 74 this afternoon, so I'm going on a ride!! :) I'm also riding Riley later tonight, and cleaning the apartment after that--I began a major declutter project last night, and I'm getting rid of everything I haven't looked at or used since I moved, lol.

Monday, December 29, 2008
I went up to Omaha for Christmas, and had a great time. I brought my bike and trainer, and I was so glad I did. Jaiden had fun, too... Brody was really upset when I put Jaiden in the car, haha. I went out with Tennille and a few others on Friday night and saw a guy I dated a couple years ago. I'm not sure if he saw me. He probably would have frozen stiff and crumbled into pieces if I had said anything to him. He was a smart guy, but a social idiot.
Saturday, I went out with Eric, Becky and her friends. It was a wig and moustache party, and I ended up getting a blue wig at the last minute... I'm afraid to see the pictures.
My nephew called my cousin Todd "Uncle Toad", LOL. I still crack up when I think about it.

I fixed my trainer!
All by myself! :P The part came in the mail today, and at first I thought they either sent the wrong part or misunderstood what it was that I needed. I took a closer look at the broken part on my trainer, and realized I just needed to move things around a bit. Anyway, I got it fixed and rode for 45 minutes. It's boring, but as long as I have some music, I'm moderately entertained, and I feel so much better now that I've ridden (I haven't ridden since last Sunday--eek). I have been taking Jaiden on long, hilly walks almost every day though, just to keep somewhat active.
Oh, and I got a bike light. A good one. So, Mom and Dad, you can quit worrying. :) Although I probably won't do night rides alone unless I get something that says "GET OUTTA MY WAY". Hehe.
I was working at the shop Saturday, and a customer was talking about a pony named Merrylegs (what a cute name for a pony). The customer's son used to ride Merrylegs, and she just adored him. For whatever reason, he stopped riding her, or the trainer put him on a different horse or something, and Merrylegs became despondent and depressed. :( This went on for a few months. Merrylegs just didn't respond to anybody else--she would do what she was told, mostly, but wasn't happy. She would only walk or trot up to jumps, and wouldn't canter to them. There was no "pep" in her. So the trainer put the little boy back up on Merrylegs, and she suddenly became happier again... held her head high, swished her tail, etc. I just thought that was such a cute, touching story. :)

New pony!
I went horseback riding Thursday night! :) Shama gave me the contact info for a woman that has a horse she needs ridden. I went out, and the woman, Kirsten, played up Riley's spookiness and antics quite a bit. Yeah, he's a bit spooky, but for the most part, he's a big teddy bear, although he can be rather opinionated, lol. He's an 18-year-old Thoroughbred, and he seems to be the kind of horse that needs to be finessed and "asked" to do something, rather than demanded. He's very willing and smart, and he seemed to try hard to figure out what I wanted. Hopefully I can take some lessons on him... he's very good with lateral movements, so he'd be a good horse to learn from I think.
The weather has been so nice the past day or two, and I'm going on a ride tomorrow morning before heading to work. It's going to get pretty crappy tomorrow night, so it looks like I won't be doing the Sunday ride with hottie. ;) I'll also be driving back to Austin next Sunday, so I'll be out for that ride (oh, and it looks like the weather is going to be PERFECT the entire time I'm up in Omaha... sigh). REI is sending me a replacement part for my trainer... hopefully I can figure out how to fix it. I've been taking Jaiden on walks lately. He's been whining a lot the past few days, and I'm not sure why, so I've been trying to pay more attention to him. I've been working about 55 hours a week, so he's probably feeling a bit neglected. Poor puppy.

Sunday ride
I didn't do so well on today's ride, but hell, I haven't ridden since Monday! I went to REI today to see if I could get my trainer fixed--once it is fixed, I'm planning on riding a few days during the week. The weather is nice enough that I can ride outside, yeah, but I refuse to ride alone at night for the time being. So anyway, we did our usual 35 miles today, and the headwind on the way back was, as usual, disgusting. I drafted off about three or four guys on the way back, and one of the guys that I ride with, a hottie that I've had a minor crush on, put his hand on the small of my back and pushed me up a hill several times, lol. A part of me appreciates the help and I can't help but giggle like a little girl when he does it, but another part of me wants to say, "I CAN DO IT!!" I hate feeling like the weak link! They all say I'm riding strong, but I'm still the slowest in the group, dammit.
A few of us made plans to go out to dinner after the ride, but it ended up just being me and hottie. It wasn't a date or anything remotely close, but it was definitely fun! I'm not holding out any hope, so y'all can refrain from asking me questions! ;)

Ollie
My parents had to put Ollie to sleep yesterday morning. :( He was having back issues, and couldn't use his rear legs anymore. He would have been 17 in January, and was getting "senile", so my parents made the decision to have him put to sleep.
He was such a tough little dog. There were so many times that I didn't think he'd pull through something, and we'd have to put him down... like a couple of years ago, when he fell down my parents' stairs. I thought for sure he would have damaged his back in some way, but he just ended up with a broken nail. He's gone through several bouts of not being able to use his rear legs, but he always pulled through in the past, which is pretty amazing.
When he was about a year or two, I picked him up to hold him, and Ollie being Ollie, he struggled to get out of my arms pretty much immediately. Well, I didn't have a good hold on him, and he leaped/fell onto the kitchen floor, then started yelping and running around in a circle on his shoulder because he couldn't use his right front leg. I'll never forget that image, although I'm not traumatized by it anymore. ;) Anyway, I was completely distraught, vowing that I would never pick him up ever again (as I was holding him in my arms to comfort him, haha). We took him to the vet, etc., and that little butthead milked it for all he was worth whenever he was around me. He limped for two weeks, and one day my mom took him out without a leash, and he suddenly took off. Of course, he didn't go far, but my mom had to show me that he was completely fine. I stopped babying him. ;)
I taught him how to sit, lay down, and "play dead" (all he did was put his head to the ground, eyes wide open, tail wagging). My dad taught him how to speak, lol. Ollie would sit next to us at the table while we were eating dinner, and he'd stare at dad. My dad would look down, and Ollie would immediately look to the floor, like he was saying, "If I can't see him, he can't see me." He did that for the longest time, until he realized Dad wouldn't do anything, and he stopped looking down.
He LOVED to sleep with us under the covers, as it was always warmer there, and he always somehow managed to push me to the edge of the bed, leaving him with nearly an entire bed all to himself. Our other Dachshund, Sammie (whom we had for just a few years and had to put to sleep for several health issues that he had--kidneys, back problems, skin problems) taught Ollie that laying underneath the blankets is better than laying on top of them.
Brody still hasn't caught onto that trick, lol. In fact, I think it freaked him out when he first saw Ollie get under the blankets on the couch. There were several times that Brody didn't realize Ollie was laying under the blankets. Brody would always make a wrong step, and suddenly we'd hear a snarling, growling racket coming from underneath the blankets, which would make Brody FREEZE and look at us like, "Help me."
My only regret is that I wasn't there for his last moments--I always promised myself I would be there for him. :( :(

I'm tiiiired
I went on a group ride tonight. I was sooo tired after just 15 miles--my ride on Sunday night was difficult, so my legs/knees were already spent before I even started the ride tonight. The wind was pretty bad, and after about mile 20-22 I had difficulty keeping up. It was so nice out, though, other than the wind. I wore a jersey and arm warmers and was sweating like crazy, although even without the arm warmers I would have been hot--I was hauling ass. I ended up with 27 miles. I don't think I'll have time to do a ride the rest of the week. :( I'm working until 6 every night. Sigh... I really have to get a messenger bag so I can ride to work.
Oh, and I almost got run into TWICE on the way home. On the way to the ride, I was actually a bit nervous... my "close call" last week wasn't really that close, but it was still on my mind. I ride relatively defensively, I think--always checking to make sure drivers see me, and keeping my hands on the brakes just in case. Anyway, one of the guys rode back with me to my apartment, and he had a pretty damn strong light. Actually, he even had TWO lights! Yet, we still had two close calls. Both drivers were coming up perpendicular to us on our right, making right-hand turns, and neither came to a complete stop. I'm guilty of doing this, so I can't really be too terribly pissed at them. It's still nerve-wracking, though. :( I don't think this night riding thing is for me. I'm going to have to get a $200 light for these damn drivers to see me.
Sounds like Shama's trainer will have a horse that I can ride... I'm still debating. I'd really just like to start training with Richard again. He was just so damn awesome. We'll see.
It's funny... a few times over the past month, I've run into cyclists on the group rides that rubbed me the wrong way. I've come close to running my mouth after my temper flared up, decided against it, and was grateful for it. One guy in particular has an enormous ego (he's young), he never points out debris in the road--another guy and I ran over some toy or something because it wasn't pointed out to us--and he's always "talking big". He's annoyed me several times, and I almost snapped at him tonight, but didn't. I'm glad, too, because he ended up helping me out when I got dropped, which was rather unexpected. Another guy that I initially didn't like because I thought he was an asshole turned out to be a nice guy. It's just funny, because when I was younger, I always used to regret not saying the first thing that came to mind, and now I'm grateful for it, although sometimes I can't stop myself from being a smartass.

Another great ride
I love my new job at the tack shop! I've been so busy there. I'm actually getting paid more than she originally told me (long story). I also found out we can buy stuff there at cost, so I basically get a 50% discount. I went out for drinks with one of the girls, Shama, that I'm working with. She talks a LOT, and while she's very nice and very cool and I'd like to hang out with her again, I couldn't help but feel somewhat exhausted after we went out, lol. Shama called one of her trainers to see if she had a horse I could ride (it's amazing the number of trainers here that don't have lesson horses), and she just called me to let me know that her trainer does have a horse I can ride a couple times a week! Geez... I'm getting even busier. The only bad thing is, I don't know if I can afford lessons right now, especially with me taking trips to go up to Omaha. Maybe after the 1st of the year.
My other new job is going really well, too. I've been pretty busy there the past week, too.
I decorated my apartment with Christmas decorations, and it looks pretty good! :) I'll be coming to Omaha in a couple of weeks... I'm not sure what days, but I'm thinking maybe the 24th-29th. I'd like to not come back on Sunday so I can possibly miss the worst of the traffic. Bleh.
I went on a group ride Sunday. We did 35 miles at about a 17-18 MPH average with a few big hills and a significant headwind on the way back. Chuck pulled up a biggish hill, and I thought I was going to die, but I couldn't let go of his wheel... not in that wind! They did eventually drop me on another hill, but they waited for me and another group that was behind me a ways. A couple of new guys joined us. One of them was having issues keeping up, and I felt bad for him. I know what it's like to be the person always trailing behind--hell, it's usually me! Scott thinks he may have got his heart rate up too much, and couldn't recover from it. Poor guy. Chuck has been impressed with my riding improvement. I guess I have gotten faster. I just need to work on my stamina now. These 35-mile rides will help, but I need to get in with more groups. The only bad thing is I now work Saturdays, which is great for keeping busy, but not so good for the riding effort. :(
Oh, and I changed my own headlight, which was, incidentally, a big pain in the ass! Maybe it wouldn't have been for a guy, but I couldn't figure out how to get the bulb out one-handed in addition to not being able to see what I was doing. I was seriously about to cry, not having any close guy friends that I could turn to, haha (I'm sure I would have eventually been able to find someone to help me if I had needed it, but for a few moments there I was feeling pretty helpless). I finally found an area underneath that I could get both hands in, and got it done. ;)

New tack shop job
Yay! :) I'm not being paid much, but I'm busy and it's a fun job. She's overstaffed, but I guess that isn't really my problem to worry about--maybe when I have my own shop. ;) It's a bigger shop than the one I worked at in Omaha, and not as "cozy" (the one in Omaha was small and stuff was crammed into every corner... and I loved it!), but it's awesome to have a busy life again. I'm riding a lot, working two jobs, going out with friends, I have my doggy to take care of, and I'm coming to Omaha again in a few weeks. Weee... :)
I went on a solo ride on Wednesday afternoon. It was so nice out, about 75 degrees. I was able to ride in just shorts and a short-sleeved jersey! Oh, and I bought new shoes. I'm turning into that girl. You know--that girl that has lots of shoes. :( I always prided myself on having a relatively empty closet, but I bought my first pair of good heels about a year ago, and realized that if I spend money on GOOD shoes rather than cheap shoes, my feet won't blister. ;) However, I got these on sale at Amazon for about 60% off. I really shouldn't be spending any money at all, but I really needed some shoes after Jaiden chewed mine to pieces. A Christmas present to myself, hehe.

Have to get this off my chest, too...
I still have moments where I think about the crap that my ex said when we broke up, and I can't help but harbor a lot of resentment. Some days, I'm happily single and I don't care that we broke up. Other days I'm just so frustrated and hurt about it all, and I obsess about what he said. Today was one of those days. He made me feel like crap about myself, and it's days like today that I wish I could just shut that door forever and forget everything. I know I'm closer to doing that, and most days I really don't care anymore, but for today, I can't let go of the bitterness. Tomorrow will be a better day.
My trip to Omaha
I seriously hate the drive to/from Omaha. It's boring from Nebraska to Oklahoma, and once you get into Texas, the traffic is ridiculous. At one point, I ran into a construction area, and it took an hour to go five miles. Talk about road rage...
I had a blast in Omaha. I didn't get more than six hours of sleep each night (made for a not-so-fun drive back home). The dogs were so good, too! I was really worried, especially when Brody got more excited than usual--and Brody's normal level of excitement would give another dog a heart attack. But they eventually settled down. Jaiden actually didn't really seem to care much about Brody until Brody decided he wanted to play... Jaiden did his usual leap and bound trick, and Brody thought twice about playing with Jaiden after that. ;)
My brother changed out my rotors while I was down there. I was complaining about how the wheel vibrated anytime I applied the brakes, and he took it upon himself to fix it! :) Thanks, Timmy. :D
I took my bike down and did an indoor group ride on a trainer. It was nice to see everybody. My ex that works at the bike shop told me that they might start selling Kuota bikes--what the heck?! I nearly got one last year, but they talked me into getting a Felt instead. Arrrgh. Wonder if my 25% discount still applies... ;) Oh, and he also told me I still look good in cycling shorts. Zac, not sure if you read my blog, but I love you. Lol.
I went out to Crescent Moon Saturday night with Becky, Eric, Tennille, some of Becky's friends, and some of Tennille's friends. My parents even showed up to drink out of the boot! ;) One of Tennille's friends bought a few of us some shots... that pushed me over the "really drunk" edge. I was hurting in the morning, and it made for a looooong drive. It was worth it though. I had a lot of fun. Except for the falling incident... all the roads froze over while we were inside getting drunk, and I fell flat on my ass outside the bar. Of course, I thought it was just hilarious. ;) I screwed up another one of my fingers, though. Sigh.
I went on a short ride tonight, and nearly got run into. I really should get a stronger light... they're just so freaking expensive. I may be getting a part-time job at a local tack shop (yay!!!), so I should be able to get all this extra crap that I so desperately need. :)
