Hot, sticky, gross, and not about to shower!

Waiting for a phone call to figure out if I am going to go horse riding today or tomorrow. I am exhausted but no way in hell am I giving up a chance to go riding.

Last night was amazing! It was definitely an interesting night in a number of ways. Leigh and Adam both got searched for drugs after a sniffer dog decided it liked them, even though neither of them have anything to do with drugs. It was kind of funny when the dog sat down on Adam's feet and the cops did the full search. When they got Leigh later it was kind of just annoying due to how cold it was.

I finally managed to defeat Leigh in a game of pool, after three years of trying to do so. It looked like I was going to lose when I had 6 balls left compared to his 1, but after he sank one of mine I started to do well. Last turn I got my last two balls in and then magically sunk the 8 ball in a fluke shot which had the ball bouncing off the edge three times before barely having enough momentum to fall into the pocket. But, I did it and I am proud!

Bada Bing had shitty music playing in the main room (the bands almost always are) so we headed somewhere we could hear ourselves think without being interrupted by obnoxious screaming and a double bass where we found a group of people to chat to while we waited for some decent music.

As always, I spent my entire night drifting between groups, talking to as many people as I could find that I knew, running into people I didn't expect to see there (Hi Aimee!!) and dancing like a lunatic to any song I knew. Towards the end of the night everyone was getting a bit tired. I went to the DJ and requested some Tenacious D. Three songs later the opening bars to Tribute started playing, and I think almost everyone in the venue was on the dancefloor, singing their hearts out, and even those not on the dancefloor were singing. It was a beautiful thing, a perfect ending to the night and I felt a bit like God for knowing that it was my doing.

I am so wrecked today. I feel hungover and all I drank last night was water D:

But, I still headed to dog club for the fun day. Honey actually worked really well. We got third, but we almost won. Honey hates tunnels if she can't see the end. The only thing we had any problem with was one such tunnel that I just could not get her to do. If that tunnel wasn't there we would have not only run a clear round, but would have got the best time out of any clear round. I was really proud. I just wish I could think of a way to get her into those tunnels. Third prize was a package of dog food, so she definitely earned her bread tonight.


Preparing for the round!

Now to wait and see if I get that phone call about riding. Maybe have some lunch in the meantime.... I am starving!
