Four Things, Why Not?

I want to do this with my Bacon
Well, tomorrow is the big day for Bacon. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of whatever is going on with my goofy girl.  I just want her to be comfortable and happy again. She still seems fine and happy, plays in her pasture and weaves vigorously like always. It is hard when all you look forward to is riding and competing on your pony, and a lot of that did not happen this summer. But all I really want is for her to be ok again. So, to keep my mind busy, here is the four things filler post!

Four names that people call me other than my real name: 

  1. Lergies/and or Penguin (from racehorse trainer-in reference to my allergies and my arthritis walk)
  2. Boogs (my grandpa called me this when I was a baby, and stuck in my family)
  3. Crazy Ass (thanks husband)
  4. Poo (my maiden name was Lapuh. Said like La-poo)
This was Dr. Boo. He was 32lbs. Please do not let your cat get this fat.
Four jobs I’ve had: 
  1. Stall cleaner
  2. KB Toys associate (NEVER AGAIN)
  3. Veterinary Assistant/Cat Wrangler
  4. Lyme Battler (not a real job, but some days it feels like it)

Four movies I’ve watched more than once:

  1. The Horse Whisperer
  2. Silence of the Lambs
  3. Harry Potter movies
  4. Nightmare Before Christmas
Also one of my favorite places to be,

Four books I’d recommend:

  1. Smoky the Cowhorse by Will James
  2. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
  3. Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling
  4. How Good Riders Get Good by Denny Emerson

Four places I’ve visited:

  2. Puerto Vallarta/Cabo San Lucas/Mazatlan Mexico
  3. Peru, IL (I consider eastern states their own special place)

Washougal.

Four places I’d rather be right now:

  3. Scuba diving in a tropical reef or with sharks
  4. Back up to Goat Lake

    Onward to PIE!!!
    Four of my favorite foods:
    1. Beef Jerky
    2. PIE
    3. Fruit leathers
    4. Cool Whip. From the container. Don't judge.
    Beach days are fun with hubs.
    Four TV shows I watch: (I only have netflix, so this is what I do)
    1. American Horror Story. I just keep rewatching it. 
    2. House M.D. 
    3. Friends. This show makes me happy when I am blue.
    4. Dexter
    Four things I’m looking forward to this year:
    1. Thanksgiving. Hopefully I will feel well enough to eat all of the food.
    2. Halloween Jump Night. Even if I won't be able to ride, I still get to dress up.
    3. Christmas.
    4. Idaho Eventing and Dressage Association's banquet night. Last year I won all kinds of prizes and sat next to the dessert table.
    Four things I’m always saying:
    1. GODDAMNIT.
    2. NO. (Usually in reference to the goaties).
    3. I don't feel good.
    4. Well crap. 
    Going too fast. Whoops.

    1. To be healthy again
    2. For my pets, friends and family to be healthy and happy
    3. To feel useful
    4. For no one to feel sadness.

    2. Yay cool whip!

      This reminds me. We should have pie together, as I also enjoy an inordinate amount of whip.
