play the ponies

I fear I've become one of "those" people.

The kind that actually like to go...

...to the track. As in, horseracing.

I know! Who'da thunk it?!

So for the second time in as many weeks, I spent my Friday evening at the track. But it really sounds worse than it is, I spent a total of $25 for admission, several beers, a couple of hot dogs and various wagers from $2-$5 per race. Where else can you spend this little for a full evening of fun and laughs with your favorite friends?

I can honestly say it was one of the best nights I've had in a loooong time, and I'm looking forward to doing it again soon.

The following pix are from the first time I "played the ponies," none of the ones from last night turned out well.

Poor lighting, but you get the idea


Startin' 'em young

The great unwashed masses


They all look healthy to me!

These guys really are tiny in stature!

snakes on a plane (really!)

I almost spit out my juice (I love juice!) when I saw this article:

p.s. -- this has nothing to do with this

more fun than watching paint dry

It's been a long, hot day.

So what did I decide to do after waking up ridiculously early after a late evening, then trekking to the outlets and then baby-sitting for 6 hours?

Why, paint an accent wall, of course.

Isn't it what everyone decides to start at 9 on a Saturday evening?



accent wall, part deux






p.s. -- the outlets sucked (or maybe that's 'cause I could only stay for two hours). And! I raked in the cash baby-sitting and all I did was play a little catch, ride some bikes and shuffled them to a birthday party at a pool where I got to lay out and catch some rays.

I can say right now that...

Life Is Good.
