My personal NAN 2009 Top Ten WINS !!!

"For Eight Belles" OF Western Trail

" Cruizin By Demand" OF Saddleseat.

OF English Trail.

"Breezin Bi-U" AR/CM Speed Games.

Well thats almost all of them. I ended up with 10 top tens in all with halter also and just the one Champion. It was nothing compared to most of the people that won stuff but to me it was everything. Sometimes the small things have the most meaning. And to me it does.

A Monday all week long.....:(

Just checking in with you all.....

As it seems when I make plans to work on tack lately it seems to get ruined. I gave up going to a live show on Saturday to have the weekend to work on tack but was so blessed with the fact that I had to work all weekend and have still been working everyday. Dont tell your employees NOT to get sick because they end doing just that. For those of you who dont know after a long year of working my tushy off I made manager of a Starbucks which is in a Safeway. So, I am a Safeway employee and not a Starbucks. To be honest I dont know which is better. Probably at this point in the economy Safeway would be the better so Im sitting good in the all of things.

But to the point of things. I have not got a chance to work on anything. Ughh !!!! But I started 2 new girls yesterday and brought in a couple other employees from other stores and so my plan once again is to have this weekend off and get the 2 parade sets I have DONE !!! I know I thought work was settling down before well now with 2 new people it should be even better. Atleast now I have people to cover the shifts of the sick so I dont have to work everyday.
Woo-hoo !!!

Snowed In for 2 weeks and UPDATES !!!

Well, for two weeks during xmas we were snowed in. Luckily, I am able to walk to work and my boyfriend doesnt have but 5 minutes to go to work. We were not able to go anywhere until xmas day. We had a layer of snow and then a layer of ice and a ton on snow on top of that. Needless to say we had a xmas tree with no presents underneath it this year. And as for others we had to buy for they got gift cards. There was no traveling into Salem from Silverton to go shopping.

So thats what was going on for me and now as of last night I was up off and on all night keeping watch over the creek outside that had turned into a river and rose many feet within a couple hours. It did stay at one high level all night and did not rise anymore thank god because it started to pour around 1am and then we awoke to a dusting of snow. I will post pix of the creek/river tomorrow. So, it was a bit scary.

I did get a bit behind on things with the weather and work....I have been working more hours covering at work and trying to get the new manager position. But I have this weekend off and plan to get both sets I am currently working on done and order bits for the sets too tomorrow.

Happy New Year to you all !!! Hope you have better weather than we have been experiencing.
