Ride 'em Cowboy

Went to my very first rodeo last weekend. Along with some people from work, Brad's mom and her boyfriend. It was a little town rodeo, but rather fun. I'm not a huge fan of the bull riding-too much potential for injury there. The barrel racing rocked, steer wrestling was pretty funny too-only two of the guys managed to wrestle their steer down. The little clown skits between events were incredibly lame, but that made them funny. Especially when their little airplane car thing got stuck and they had to get some cowboys to help them push it off the grounds. The best part though, was the little kids mutton wrangling. They let little kids from the audience sign up to ride a sheep. Hilarious!

Sunday was a bunch of garage sailing with Brad and his mom. (Her boyfriend had to leave.) I was hoping to find a "new" tv at one of them, but no luck yet. Mine died several weeks ago-but I have a loaner until I can find one. I'm hopefully going to get to an estate sale on Friday, maybe they'll have one there I can get. (I'm cheap and refuse to buy a brand new expensive one.)

Still no car yet-Brad's just been making it too easy to be without one. I haven't been inconvenienced much by being carless. And he's not bothered by driving me around. (At least that's what he says.)

Then Saturday is the Twins-Tigers baseball game with Mom and Dad. Yay! Should be a lot of fun.
