I Love My Job

I thoroughly love my job. I get to be around horses and my dog at the same time.

Working in the mornings is totally worth it. I get to see the sun rise and be greeted by the horses every morning. I'm that kind of person that prefers to work around animals than people, but I still like to work around people.

I like cleaning stalls though, I did all the time when I was in 4-H so I am pretty much a pro at it. Is there an award for best stall cleaner? I am so picky about stalls, I sift so much bedding out of the fork before I throw it in the wheelbarrow. Bedding is SO expensive.

Mud loves coming to work. She gets to run around and sniff every spot. She is getting better at coming when I whistle for her. She usually goes off to do her thing and then comes back to check on me as I clean a stall. It's funny watching her act around horses. I think she finds them interesting but she is on guard around them. It's funny watching her get excited around Abe the Mini Horse.

Thus concludes why I love my job.

Pumpkin Patches and Jack O'Lanterns

What a glorious day for Halloween! Oh wait, it was raining all day and night yesterday! Anyway, rain or shine, we are always on the move. Rain never stops me from having an adventure. I went to a pumpkin patch with my friends T, Shana, and Reilly. It was a little drizzly but we found two awesome pumpkins! Bellewood Acres was an awesome place and I am so going back next fall before Halloween to do their corn maze and corn cannons. Hey, I at least got to carve a pumpkin. That was on the checklist!

Not my pumpkin, just one I was able to pick up and snap a picture with!

Hehe, we're cool! Reilly took the picture. I used to not want to do this photo ops with these cut outs but now I always want to do them.

Many of you are probably wondering what I carved into my pumpkin... Is it a bird, is it a plane? Why no, it's a New England Patriot!! I am a huge fan of the Patriots since I lived in Rhode Island and I decided to carve this, but my friend T helped me shave it down so the light could come through.

We also did even roast the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkins, well it was really all Reilly. He made them with Paprika, salt and pepper and good gravy they were good!

Apartment Wishlist

I've been sitting in my living room looking around at how I would like to eventually renovate my items. I'm doing this by room.

For my living room, I'd like to invest in this Bestå tv unit. It will provide myself with a hole for the cords to gone down, as well as extra movie storage. Also, I'd like to get the Regissör coffee table because I am currently using a bench as a coffee table. This coffee table has compartments where I can store my magazines and is wider for card games. Along with that, I'd like to eventually invest in a larger couch. Having one couch and a recliner does allow a lot of seating for more than 3 people. The Kivik loveseat with chaise increases places for people to sit for when I have a movie night. The two pillows are simply decor items. The blanket is one that I love. Soft fluffy blankets are a must in an apartment.  Lastly, the Valje cube unit will provide me with the space to place MudLynn's bin of leashes and coats in.

For my bedroom, I highly need to invest in a larger desk and desk chair. I like white for my bedroom because it makes it brighter and appear larger. The Micke desk gives me space for my computer and printer as well as extra storage for paper and such. As for my desk chair, I would prefer for something with more cushion. The Skruvsta Swivel Chair gives me comfort as well as it being chic. It's very office fashion chic.

That's all I have on my wishlist, stay tuned for future before-after posts.
