Ah, well I'm sitting here in this nice den we made yesterday and it's nice.  It feels weird to say we actually have a den, but that's what it is.  I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.  I'm already enjoying being able to sit in here and relax.  It was nice coming over in here, curling up in my big comfy chair, drinking my morning glass of milk and watching some morning TV.  I feel so relaxed, and not cramped!  It's great.  Only a couple of other things to do really ... need to hook up the PS2 and I want to bring the Febreez in here and spray the furniture because it does have a bit of a dusty scent to it.  So, nothing major to do ... and nothing that needs done right now.

I'm waiting for my husband to clean out the bath tub so I can hop in and take a bath, because I'm really ready for one.  I feel all gunky from yesterday ... and it got too late last night by the time we were all done to jump in the bath, since dad was in bed.  I'm getting ready to do the last little bit of dishes and then that's really all there is to today.

I do have a feeling that my husband will end up pissing his dad off though.  Apparently he had a bunch of stuff he wanted to do today and my husband has decided that he just doesn't feel like doing anything, so he's going to avoid the farm like the plague.  So that COULD result in his dad being pissy for the next week ... but then maybe not, who knows.  I'm just preparing for the worst I guess ... but with his track record, could you blame me?  Especially considering my husband wasn't over at the farm much to do anything yesterday.

Had one slight event worth mentioning this morning .... which warranted a hurried throwing on of shoes and running out of the front door.  Somebody stopped out on the road, got out and was touching my horse over the fence.  I really am not too crazy about strangers messing with her without my being there.  I asked the woman nicely to please stop touching her and then told her that I warned her that the fence was electric and that I didn't want her or my horse to get too close.  I explained that I'm pretty protective of her and I generally don't take kindly to strangers messing with her without my being there.  She explained she knew one of our neighbors ... although she didn't say how ... my husband was thinking that maybe it was his wife ... but she didn't say, which was kind of odd.  So I don't know.  Either way, she asked me a few questions about the horse, I answered some of them honestly, others I fabricated a bit so she'd get the impression that this was not a horse to be messed with.  I also informed her of the idiot who had cattle in the pasture previously, that tried to take hold of her and lead her and that resulted in my horse rearing up, bucking, kicking, etc.  So I think she got the impression that the horse was not one to be messed with, which is fine with me because I don't want random people stopping and doing anything with her.  She's not expensive on a daily basis, but when she gets hurt she's HELLA expensive, and I don't want to pay for somebody else's stupidity.  My husband now wants to post signs up along the fenceline that says something to the effect of 'Do NOT touch or feed the horse.'  I am 100% on board with that idea if it gets to happen.  I mean, we already had to post signs at each gate not to touch the horse, so now I guess we have to go get some more.  Why can't people just leave well enough alone, even if they are well meanining?

Other than that, not much to do.  Thinking I'm going to look up some recipes for making candied pecans or walnuts.  We've got both of those in massive amounts, and I don't really like eating walnuts plain ... pecans I love, but it would be fun to do other stuff with them.  Plus, my dad's friend brought down some pecans that he and his family candied and they were delicious.  So I think that's one project I'm going to undertake for today.

Not much else to talk about or I'll be rambling.  Boy, I just don't know what to do with myself being all caught up here, lol.  Just a week or more ago I felt I was spinning down out of control, unable to keep up here, unable to find time to post, unable to remember everything that I wanted to post, unable to read others' posts!  Now I'm all caught up and going 'Ok, what else?' lol.  Ah, it'll rotate back around soon enough. 

Ugh, work week is rotating back around too.  Full work weeks.  It's going to drag on SO bad at first, just because I'm used to having all this time off.  Oh well, full work weeks mean full paychecks which means the ability to buy what we need and pay the bills without going into debt.  So I'm not complaining much.  Just dreading having to deal with some of the things coming up ... but, as I've heard before ... one day at a time.
