Snapshots from Mars!
A couple of friends and of course our "new friend" who we've affectionately named "Mullet Man" sneaks into the picture! Don't worry Mullet Man, we would never have forgotten you :P
Caught in the action! This is what the people do all night!
***After some discussion with my fellow drinking pals, we have decided to "re-visit the location"! Going to take on a whole new "project" here, AND we need to see if Mullet Man will pose for some formal portraits with us.....hahahahaha!!!!! Stay tuned for updates!

Kelly goes to Mars!!!!
Oh my goodness...where do I even start with this one? So, it was one of my best friends 40th birthday party, she wanted to have a girls night out which was just a super idea. There were about 8 of us and we rented a hotel room and went to this place called "a bar"! Ok, so I NEVER go to the bar anymore...really I don't. A lounge ya sure maybe, house parties...hell ya....I'm known to be the last sole survivor at some of those, watching the sun come up with a drink still in my hand, but the bar...well just not my thing I guess.
So anyway, we had munchies, laughs and shooters up in the hotel room before the bar...it was all good I'd say. Then the place we went to, it was packed like sardines, you couldn't move....and I tend to be a little claustrophobic. I found myself feeling a little out of my comfort zone and so I decided to take a deep breath, sit back with my drinks and pull an AO - which was instead of getting in there myself I would observe how these little creatures play...through a lens. Since I didn't want to bring my slr to this place I pulled out my friends point n shoot and started taking pictures.
Oh my! First off...the people! This was definitely a bar that was popular with the "older" crowd, (which was good with me!). The men all lean against the wall with a drink in their hand, stare at all the ladies as if to say..."pick me pick me"..how pathetic! The women, are all out shakin it on the dance floor while the guys all stand around the edge of it with their eyes bugged and tongues hangin out! The one bald guy.....I swear to God he was almost panting watching these 2 women (who must've been pushing 50) out on the floor, they had the big hair, heavy makeup and most definitely had faces which looked like they were surgically altered! It was just all too comical to me!
Is this the only thing some of these people do on weekends? There were men who showed up there BY THEMSELVES, stood in the same spot next to our table all night long and did not talk to a single soul. They just watched the women! OMG!!!! How sad is that??? I just cannot figure out why some people think it is possible to get a good catch at a bar! Please! Last night as I looked around the room, random thoughts ran through me head like...."I wonder if that guy knows how to throw a rope?....NOT!", "I wonder if that guy could fix a tractor?....NOT!", "I wonder if that guy would know a good workin dog if it bit him in the ass?....NOT!" And, what can I say, but there is just nothing attractive about the look of desperation! Perhaps I'm being a little critical here and its not like I could possibly know what every individual is like...and heck I was there myself (at least with a group of people)...but I guess the bottom line is...the bar scene is not for me! Its always a pleasure to go do something that I don't usually do, but this time it sure made me realize that the city nightlife is not my thing. Give me the coyotes howling at the moon anyday!
Anyway, met some interesting people and yes..I did have a good time. If I get that memory card back from my friend I will most definitely have to post some photos. In the meantime though...heres a photo of a "real man"! "Bill" would definately make the ideal boyfriend if he was human....he's highly intelligent, a true athlete, hard worker, once he starts a job he finishes it, loyal and trustworthy, ....and damn....is he ever good looking :P
"Cheers"

"Things you learn when you own a horse"
*I read this on one of the horsey emails that I frequently get - thought it would be worth posting!
1. People who don't take care of their own horses will be the first ones to tell you how to care for yours.
2. You should never buy a cheap girth!
3. A handsome horse who's badly behaved will become a lot less attractive in about 15 minutes.
4. People who think they have nothing more to learn about riding, hit the ground the hardest.
5. Children and ponies are natural allies and often have identical dispositions.
6. The richest horse people most often look the poorest.
7. The closeness of a horse is one of the sweetest smells in the world.
8. A solitary ride through the woods is more beneficial then six months with the best psychiatrist
9. The worse a person rides the more likely they are going to blame it on the horse.
10. The best thing about going to the barn first thing in the morning is that horses don't care how you look.
11. If a dealer insists a horse is worth twice what he's asking he's usually worth half that much.
12. The best way to appreciate how another person rides is to get on their horse, but it can be a quick way to get hurt.
13. It is not wise to argue with something that outweighs you buy 1,000 pounds - now this one I'll have to disagree!
14. I'd rather have a horse with a perfect mind then a perfect head.
15. If you think you have left the water on in the barn you have, if you think you have closed the pasture gate, you haven't.
16. When someone asks you if you like their horse always say 'yes'.
17. The happiest people I know own horses, dogs, cats and at least one deranged goat.
18. If you're looking for the perfect horse you will never own one.
19. Owning a horse can either make a marriage or break it.
20. If someone says that horse has a little buck, it has a BIG buck.
21. If we need rain, schedule a show.
22. A clean stables and a sparkling horse are among life's great pleasures.
23. Even free horses can be too expensive. Especially, free horses.
24. A more expensive horse doesn't make a better one.
25. I will never ever have an empty stable and I have accepted that fact.
26. Losing a horse can break your heart, but it will have been worth it.
27. If you can't imagine life without a horse... DON'T.

New blog: www.mjfarmsstockdogs.blogspot.com
Well, I've started a new blog for my dog habit; www.mjfarmsstockdogs.blogspot.com The countdown begins for puppies to be born and I will be posting lots with updates....likely every couple of days with new pics and puppy progression! Its a very exciting time for all who have a pup reserved, and of course me too! Only 11 days to go now, Coco is getting huge and I won't be surprised if she has a large litter! Her pregnancy seems to be going by so fast - wouldn't it be nice if humans could have a 63 day gestation?
