Fuck chewing gum. Alarm clocks are the reason for the downfall of society!

Day number one: The AT was coming out. And of COURSE I go to sleep all nervous and jittery and "oh my God, oh my God, oh my God". So I wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 12:30 in the afternoon. That is a problem.... the AT was on a plane back home! Whaaaaaaaat?! How could this be possible?! Alas, I looked at my cell phone. The damn alarm clock didn't go off. And it was set at 6:30 am so I could be well fed, hydrated, and ready for a lesson by 8:30. Talk about a Pissed Off Youth Rider. Oh, I was furious. Beyond. Not only was I pissed, I felt horrible for letting people down. 

Note to self: invest in actual alarm clock. 

Now, where can I get one of those?

Day number two: Had to be at work by 10:30. Hahah. Funny. I wonder why Sonic was calling me at 11:15 and I answer the phone with the classic "why the HELL are you calling me when I'm dead asleep" "Hello!?". I love how my manager was like "Uh... just checking to see you were alive. It's 11:15..." Me: "Shit, shit, shit!! I'll be there in 15 minutes!" Of course I get dressed at hyper speed in two minutes and I'm out the door. Of COURSE I can't find my car. Yes, that's right. I had been awake for no more than three minutes when I walked outside to get in my car only to find that it was not in it's Usual Parking Spot. In a moment of sheer terror, I run back up the driveway. Alas, my car! I parked it in the garage the night before... I need to invest in some Rockstar. Really. I do. So I sped off to work for the day. End of story.

I had this amazing plan to get Something Accomplished on the two horses, but no one was there... so I decided that some wither scratches were in order. The 3 yo was deliriously happy to see me. Tor... not so much. She is not all that affectionate unless she wants to be. 

Riding will resume tomorrow evening. The said 13 yo rider (who's horse just came yesterday, more about him later!) and I are going to ride our AQHA horses for an evening ride. The four of us will get Something Accomplished. I just know it! Oklahoma 2009 is looking to be much closer in reach. =]
