Yesterday while babysitting I finally finished my practice quilt top that I've been working on since christmas. Its only about 3 by 3 and a half feet and the stitching is messedup in a lot of parts but hey I still like it. I still need to but a back on it and the inside stuffing thing but that's my next project.

Two and a Half Days
That's how many days of school I've had this week.
Actually it's how many days I've had off of school too!
I wouldn't mind it so much if we didn't have to make it up.
Also, if the barn wouldn't've been closed on the snow days I would have enjoyeed the snowdays more.
However, there was kinda nothing to do.
Here's what I did the last 2 and a half days:
Wednesday:
- woke up around 10
- went and bought show boots
- shopped around some more but didn't buy anything
- tried to get McDonalds but they were closed :(
- babysat
- started my 30 day blogging challege
- FOUND STUMBLEUPON (huge improvement in my life)
- went to bed forgetting to eat dinner
Thursday:
- woke up at 11
- made eggs for breakfast
- stumbled on stumbleupon
- caught up on my Shane Dawson videos
- continued my blog challenge
- cut three pieces of fabric into 5x5 squares (I now have 20 squares)
- ordered Pizza Hut but was not impressed
- worked
- worked
- thought about ordering more fabric, but didnt. yet.
- tried to go to bed
- finally fell asleep
Friday morning:
- woke up at 8
- got Marie off to school
- watched part of the Today show and Regis (it makes me feel mature)
- and now I'm blogging
Well, at least I didn't just watch tv all day and did some productive things!

iPods and Rice
This week, my new, green iPod nano went on a fun ride through the washing machine. 
But let's start at the beginnning of this story.
I went riding Saturday morning, with my iPod in my pocket full of my horse's favorite songs.
Once I got home, I went upsatirs to shower and thought it'd be a good idea to leave my iPod out in the hallway so the water couldn't get to it.
Ironicly, it was picked up with the dirty clothes in the hallway and taken downstairs to be thrown into the washer.
I should've just kept it in my pocket in the bathroom!
It's now resting in a bowl of instant rice in my room.
It has turned on and actually works now!
However, I think the back light is done. So the only way I can see what I'm doing on it is to use it directly under a lamp.
Taylor, my horse, is going to be very upset that he won't be able to trot to his favorite songs anymore.
If anyone would like to donate a green nano ipod to me or Taylor, please let me know.

Ello governer, would you like some fish and chips?
Today I bought new English and Western show boots.
After a painful yet rewarding first English lesson, I decided I need English boots.
So I got these fancy boots:
And while I was there, I found these in the back room and had to buy them too:
They match my chaps :D
I'm mostly happy about my English boots though, they make me feel so legit.
I want to buy some breeches and a jacket to run around in and speak in a British accent.
"Good day good sir, ello govener, let's go eat some fish n chips"
I mean look how legit this guy looks in his fancy English boots:
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU HAVE FANCY ENGLISH BOOTS!
yes, i'm aware this man is not wearing boots but that's besides the point.

Dreaming of Wizard Fish Beiber Ke$ha
Lately I've been having insane dreams that make no sense. There are four in particular I wanted to amuse you with.
1. Dressed a Ke$ha, I went to steal my horse Taylor from the barn 2 miles from my house. For some reason I had only a 100 yard long lead rope to walk him with. Halfway down one of the roads to my house, Taylor decided to lay down to nap while I was 100 yards away pulling him. I attempted to drag my 3000 lb horse but as in reality it didn't work. Taylor- 1 Ke$ha- 0
2. Right after I got my license, I was driving back home when an idiot on a green moped was weaving through traffic. Suddenly he stopped about 20 feet in front of me. I slammed on the breaks but it only made me skid and run him over. However, he stood right back up unharmed and removed his helmet. IT WAS JUSTIN BEIBER. Soon after the accident I was in court getting sued. by justin beiber.
3. Niles Haunted House had been turned into a Hogwarts. Inside the school there were tons of classes that magically appeared when it was time for school. While waiting for the classes to get ready, everyone waited in a large common room with a moat around it. Inside the moat, random creatures would pop up for students to fight for pratice. Long story short, I beat a huge green blob monster and won 25 points for Ravenclaw.
4. I was able to buy a fish at Wal-Mart. While looking at the fish trying to choose one, one started singing! I of course bought it for a price of $4. I later bought it a tiny fish bowl and found out it could sing any song in the world! The rest of the dream was it just singing everything.
I wish a professional would analyse these dreams. I bet they'd just be like
"mentally unstable." Hahaha!

Cheese Shredder
Last Friday, I babysat these two boys named Andrew and James.
Andrew was 8 years old and always had something to say.
After about 20 minutes in, Andrew wanted to play the game of life and eat popcorn.
He had to be the card dealer though and had to make the popcorn by himself.
While making the popcorn, he made sure he read the directions carefully and followed every single step.
On this particular box, the second step was to listen to the popcorn popping and pictured a girl with her hand cupping her ear listening to the microwave.
Therefore, Andrew had to stand in front of the microwave just as the girl on the box until the popcorn was finished. He says it's the most important step.
Then while playing Life, he had to make up a story for everything that happened in the game. Whenever he got a kid in the game, he'd name them and make up a story of why they had that name.
When he got to choose his career card, he begged that he wouldn't get the "cheese shredder" career. I guess they don't make any money and have a worthless job. hah!
Luckly, he got police officer and made up a whole story about how he likes his job since he can eat doughnuts and he brings his pet gerbil, Bob, to work in a backpack.
I can honestly say he was one of the most entertaining little kids to babysit.
I hope you all don't ever become cheese shredders in the game of Life.
But if you do pick it, good luck retiring rich!

"Fun stuff" and Beiber fever
It seems like everyone who has a blog does fun stuff and can then go online a blog about it to their 50000 followers. But I never do fun stuff...
From the last time I blogged to now I've pretty much done nothing.
:(
Dear life, Please be more eventful so I can have a fun blog to read. Love, Boots and Bows.
I guess I'll tell you about my day at work last night.
Every friday is sadly karaoke night for families to come in, eat pizza, and listen to their little darlings sing beautiful songs. However, I've noticed a few things that drive me insane about these friday nights.
1) NO child should every be allowed to sing Ke$ha, especially in public places. I mean what are those parents thinking?! "Awww look at little Britney up there singing about being a drunk, too cute!"
2) California Girls should be edited just for karaoke and have the rapping part taken out. I can't stand little kids mumbling very louding on a microphone pretending that they know it. They dont.
3) First it was Jonas brothers and now it's Justin Beiber... I wish that kids could understand that even though you may really really love the singer and their songs, you dont have to scream them at the top of your lungs to the point that the people in the parking lot think that someones dying inside. We get it, "there's gonna be one less lonely girl!"
4) Even though it's "family" karaoke, only little kids sing. However there is a very occasional parent who desides it's a fantastic idea to go and sing "I Like Big Butts" to everyone in the crowd. Yes, it's happened more than once and they were different people.
In the end, I kinda think it's just a big joke that the company puts on to make me miserable. I mean why cant we have "Lets quietly color in coloringbooks as a family" night? or maybe even "trivia" night if your lucky! Oh the possiblities...
