What can I say, I'm a cheesy gal.

It's just after 2pm. I'm taking a quick break from house chores. I'm reflecting. Random thoughts of happiness. I enjoy days like today more than I realized.

I slept in. That doesn't happen frequently.
I walked around my 'hood and picked up a sammich at the Purple Bean Coffee place. Ate half of it while reading in the living room. Ben was reading The Chron and listening to KUT in the dining room. So I had a nice background music streaming in.

I finally got to a stopping point and began the house cleaning. I'll continue in a minute.

I love that today I have:
Read
Cleaned
Done laundry
Walked around the neighborhood with Cash Cat
Visited a local trailer eatery
Talked to a good friend
Listened to good music
Watered and moved our dying plants/flowers around
Made Tobie Cat mad by picking him up and turning him upside down (he bunny kicked me)
Texted with mi hermano
I called my momma - no answer


Just rambling. It's a blog about nothing.

Back to work

Giddy up!

On the way home from Bo's birthday brunch today, we saw a guy on a horse trotting down 11th St. I made Angela slow down so I could wave at the rider and ask if I could pet his horse. He offered to let me ride. I flew out of the car, put a foot in the stirrup, and threw my other leg over the saddle as if I were a pro. It's been years since I've ridden a horse. It was a little scary, but mostly exciting. The horse is a five year old quarterhorse named Sandman and his owner is Elvis, a nice gentleman from Manor who owns four other horses.

It was a pleasant treat.
