Saturday - Horse Show! Ride Times were finally posted and I don't ride until 2:40 and 3:20 - 50 minutes apart. Just enough time to get off, but not really relax after the first ride. Better than 9:00, when the show starts. So, I will go out to Cathy's and pretty up Bella the best I can. I think it will be too cold to give her a bath, which she despearately needs, but I will do what I can. Saturday shows are mostly a pain for me. I really like have Saturday to get ready and not have to run around Friday night getting all my gear together. Such is life and the burdens we have to bear. Not sure where my clippers are; I think they are in the bucket at the barn. However, they are close to being on their last legs. Think I'll go to Target and get some on the way.
Sunday will be a riding lesson with Sara at 9:00! Dave's parents want to take us to brunch, so we will have to go an hour earlier for the lesson so I can get back to shower and leave around 11:15 (?) I think. Anyway, Sara got out of going, and the only saving grace is I will get something to eat after riding.
Leg is feeling better, but still getting twinges when I move from side to side. The front-to-back movement is ok unless I've been sitting for awhile, but at least I'm on the mend. That first step is a real killer!
Knitting Report: I'm at the point where I will change from the bulky yarn to the worsted weight yarn. Unfortunately, because the yarn and needles are so much smaller, I have to increase stitches to a whopping 210 stitches. Better than I thought; I thought it was 300 stitches. Always a bright side to everything!

It's Thursday, But Should Be Friday
It's quite interesting how I get to Thursday and feel as if the work week is over! It's been happening for many years; maybe, I'm a 4-day work week person. :)
There were many cupcakes left over from the Irish Bash yesterday that I took two home for Dave. It was a gutsy thing to do as they both were staring me down all night. I needed to use the small containers I took them home in, so I did taste the frosting on one - hey! it stuck to the lid of the container! What's a girl to do? In place of cupcakes are applesauce and cottage cheese. Better choices for the day. I packed 1 cup of vegetarian chili, 7 triscuits, 1 orange, and popcorn. On the way to work I stopped at Au Bon Pain and they had my favorite soup, Mushroom Bisque. I had to buy some, so I will eat that today and save the chili for tomorrow. Both have the same WW points value, so not a big deal.
My friend, Betty, is having work done on her house. She got a call yesterday afternoon that the contractors opened the door and one of her cats ran out! So far, the cat has not bee found. Unfortunately, the cat is an indoor cat and is probably scared to its last wits. And, she doesn't have claws in her front paws. (Another subject altogether, but not now.)
Exercise for the day will be the ellipitcal and some strength training. Must give my leg some rest. This is really annoying me, but what can you do? I guess, take it easy and let it heal.

St. Paddy's Day and Orange It Is!
Wearing orange on St. Patrick's Day is a tradition for me. I think I do it more to annoy people than anything else. I am neither Catholic nor Irish, and since everyone Irish shows their heritage, so I do with my orange shirt and scarf.
Leg is still bothering me, so today was a 47-minute walk outside. It really irked me that I couldn't run, but I couldn't run! Walking was as good as it got, and even then, still had muscle pain in my thigh.
Nothing earth shattering going on around here. I've started working on our E-filing system which saves our emails into our document management program. This is suppposed to get people to empty out In, Sent, Deleted boxes to cut down on the amount of data on the computer.
We had pho for dinner last night, and as usual, had a lot left over. Today's food was the leftover pho, celery, 6 tortilla chips with salsa, a small salad from Au Bon Pain, and an orange. I don't know if I'll eat the orange.
DILEMMA FOR THE DAY: There is an "Everybody Is Irish Today" party at 3:00 in the office. I knew there would be cupcakes, but just found out there will be small corned beef sandwiches, there is a large bowl of fruit salad, and of course, cupcakes. Drink: Soda, Water, Beer, Wine. It is so tempting, but I am still full from lunch since I only ate at 2:00. Since I'm attempting to keep the food down to a minimum, I don't know if I'll even go.
Did go to the "do"; ate a few pieces of fruit; talked with some people; left. I'm done. I know now that I can overcome the temptation to eat food just because it's there. And, thankfully, I didn't have people forcing me to eat or trying to convince me to eat. Eating is a personal thing, but people think they can tell you want to do.
Oh, saw on the news that a lady wants to get in the Guinness Book of Records as the fattest woman/person? She weighs 700 pounds now and has 300 pounds to go. This just really makes me sick. She'll be lucky if she lives long enough to get the 300 pounds on her! Gross.....with a Capital G R O S S!!
