Stawberry Days

Well, I thought I would give a quick update on a few things. (Not that there is anything new to talk about). I bought a car.... a month ago! So, still new (to Me)! It's a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and it runs very well. I have been very pleased with it so far! I have to drive from Riverton to UVU daily, I'm not sure why I thought that would be a good idea, probably because I it saves a lot of money. I can't decide if driving that far and saving that money is worth it. All the time I spend in the car (or on the bus which I take 3 days a week despite the new car) makes me creative. I play a LOT of games. I have yet to try a book on tape, which I think I will enjoy. I sing a lot, which is probably good practice for... nothing, but it's still fun. I have a CD from my piano teacher on ear training, it will play a couple of notes and you have to guess which one is higher, louder, what key it's in and so forth. It's scratched so I get a lot of answers wrong, but I blame the CD. I have enjoyed living at home, although I do think I have messed up everyone's schedule. I come home from work at night and usually exercise, then I grab a redbox movie and make mom watch it with me (Kate used to work nights, but she'll probably join our nightly routine shortly). She complains that it keeps her up to late and she has to get up early, which I understand. Having mom up late really throws a wrench in Dad routine as well, he hardly ever goes to bed until Mom is there too. I have purchased almost all of the fabric for a rag quilt that I am making! It's going to be adorable, but I won't spoil the surprise (so act surprised when I blog about the finished product).
Let's see... I went to the Strawberry days Rodeo last night! It was fabulous. I'm not sure I will ever understand rodeo's, what is the purpose or who started them? Who found out that strapping up a horse's or bulls manliness makes them go wild? Who thought sticking kids on sheep and seeing how long they can stay on would be a good idea? There was a lady there that entertained the crowd with her trained buffalo's (yes Matt and Stacy, I saw 2 MASSIVE buffalo). She had her truck and trailer out and she made them walk (there was a ramp) onto the TOP of the trailer! It was incredible. How long do you think it took her to make them do that the first time? The rodeo's bring some... interesting? people out and about, kind of like Lagoon, which is always a treat. Those are my thoughts on the rodeo. It was a great time with some good friends. I don't really have anything else to say. 2 weeks till my birthday! You can get me whatever you would like, I'm not very picky. You are all invited up to Park City to celebrate my birthday with a BBQ by the pool (dream birthday). I expect all of you to be there, that includes you (Brad, Mandy, Jane, Annie, Matt and Stacy)
