Whuzzup, fellow bakers? Insomnia, but I finally got on for a little while. Been havin problems with the ol' laptop, had to scan and defrag just to get my shit to come up.
Well, I forgot to soak the black eyed peas, didn't have any on the shelf, and didn't have any in the stores, and I was afraid I was SOL until we headed for the step kids (they are grown, but we still call them kids) and stopped at a gas station, and what do I find, Black eyed peas! Good, too. Then, we get home late and feed the horses, and hubby comes in from letting them back out, and an hour later I get a call from a neighbor my horses are out! It was dark and had no light, and fuckin cold as shit, and all I had was a coat over my pj bottoms and a t-shirt. They had somehow lifted the gate off the hinges, and they were grazin contentedly in the feild across the road. I came to the big mare first, and led her back (with no halter or rope, our horses are ubber trained) and hubby led the gelding, my stud colt followed. A cop had stopped and was keeping traffic at bay while we crossed. My colt decided once he was in the yard he would just graze in the fron yard, and suprisingly the cop took the incentive and put his arm around the colt's neck like he had seen us do the other two horses, and led my colt back to the barn nice as you please. I was really proud of my baby boy, he is either gonna turn into a total punk when he hits 2 or 3, or be the best horse ever.
I SHORE hope the rest of the year is not nearly so exciting!
