YAY!

Wow, it's been too long since I updated this thing...

During my trip to Philly, Eric and I saw a bumper sticker that said, "What the Deuce?" It's a Stewie saying from Family Guy (a show we both love--Becky and her Eric love it, too). Later that day, I received a text message from Becky saying that her Eric decided we should start calling my Eric "Deuce" to avoid any confusion. LOL. So, if I start calling my Eric "Deuce", you'll all know who I'm talking about.

Eric and I are leaving for Omaha tomorrow (woot!). We're so excited! I'm boarding Jaiden again... I know he loves the place, but it still makes me sad to leave him there. Sigh. I'm hopeless. Anyway, me, Deuce, Becky, Eric, Tim and Noel are all going to Johnny's Italian Steakhouse on Saturday night. We're excited. :) We're also celebrating my dad's birthday on Sunday night.

Riley has been really good lately. Either that or I'm just figuring him out. He's SO opinionated. He acts like he just HATES being brushed--swishes his tail, bobs his head, glares at me (yes, horses can glare!). And then when I have to put his special boots on, he lifts his leg before I even ask him to. And then proceeds to put his ears back whenever I put my saddle on... but then acts like he can't wait to get the bridle on, haha. Everything has to be on his terms... he's funny. Anyway, he's been really good under saddle lately. As far as Riley is concerned, I just have to ask, and not demand.

I've been lazy about riding the bike! We've had such good weather, although I've been busy lately. I have to admit, as much as I love staying busy, working 55 hours/week really sucks sometimes. I mean, I have a dog to take care of, and it isn't like I can just leave him home alone while I go off on a two-hour long bike ride after having left him alone for 11-12 hours during the day. I've been riding the trainer the last few months (though not as much as I should), which helps, but it just isn't the same as riding outside. Sigh... hopefully that'll all change in a few weeks. ;)
