He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V

MY WEEKEND

The job has been going very well. Friday all I did was office work and entered a lot of information into the computer system. All the staff is wonderful to work with and it doesn't even feel like a job. It feels like 20 friends just hanging out for the day. On Friday, I was the last one to leave Hexagon and I decided that it was the managers turn to get his fair share of the pranking. I took some sheets of paper and stapled them three across and ten high making one super giant sheet of paper. I then taped it to the front of the managers office door and drew a square with a stick-figure man in it and wrote the word MENS across the top and then shut the door. The manager was not working on Friday because he has to work today. The weekend employees got to look at it all day yesterday without the manager being in. I cannot wait to get to work on Monday and find out what the manager thought of his door.

The kittens were finally able to leave the house. After I got done with work on Friday, the girls and I took one kitten into town to a friends house and then we took the others over to a neighbors place near York. The girls got me talked into keeping one of the kittens, but I am almost regretting making the decision. He is cute and cuddly, but he's still a kitten and likes to tear up things, claw my furniture, and he is starting to get a little anti-litter box. I think I may let the girls play with him a little bit today when they get home, and then explain to them that he really needs to be with the other two kittens at the neighbors house and see what happens. I am hoping they will understand.

Yesterday, my mom and I jumped in her Jeep and went to Devils Lake. We stopped by Wal-Mart and then we were going to go over to the Dairy Queen and pick up sundae's and take them over to my Grandma at the Good Samaritan Center. When we were leaving the Wal-Mart parking lot, a noise that sounded like marbles rolling around started to come from the bottom of her Jeep. We pulled over in the Wally's parking lot and checked the bottom of the Jeep. We didn't notice anything unusual, so we called my dad, who just happened to be in DL at the same time. He came over and checked it out. Turns out that something happened to the crank case and we were not going to be able to drive it home. We had to call Cowboys Towing and have him come over, put it on a trailer, and have it hauled all the way back to York. Around 9 o'clock that evening, mom and I headed back into town with a different vehicle so we could get our shopping finished. We didn't get home last night until close to 11 pm. Our family has completely exhausted our extra vehicles. My dad is driving his little blue wagon, I am driving my dad's blue Reliant, and my mom has her escort that she takes to work and back. If anything else happens to another vehicle, someone is not getting to work. I am going to call Cenex Monday and see when they can get my car in. It has to get done soon...and now will will be working on moms Jeep as well.

Today I need to get my house cleaned up. Since starting my job I have been neglecting the home a little bit. When I am finished with that, I need to go outside and move the bale feeder so I can clean up some of the old hay that the horses haven't been eating. I also need to get my wire ran on the new posts I put in. I haven't been able to put the rest of the wood posts in because the slough water is still overflowing into the pasture, but I should be able to work around it and get what I have up finished with minimal difficulty.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the wonderful moms out there. I know there is a bunch of you!
