I'm alive yet!

Phew what a busy fall it's been.

Finals started as of today, so I have 1 final down, 2 exams and 1 group presentation to go.  My last final is next Friday at 7:30pm....  Oh boy.

Weather wise, we have finally come out of the deep freeze... days straight of barely making it to double digits gets old.  Reminded me of winters growing up in the San Luis Valley, I sure don't miss those!!

Brrr!!! Subzero temps make for a looooong 1/2 mile walk
to class in the mornings

It did make for some beautiful sunrises though!

Work has been nothing short of insane with the holidays going on.  Black Friday and Cyber Monday were NUTS.  Then last weekend we had a 20% off sale that was Friday through Monday... and we thought the previous weekend was crazy... then on Tuesday I was slammed on the helpdesk/supervisor line as they had to pull our other 4 Level 2 agents to help with the masses of emails so it was little ol me on the help line dealing with everybody's issues... I was so ready to go home!!  Selling makeup is not as easy as it looks guys.  But, regardless, I love my job and I thrive on the environment, I really do.  The BIG NEWS though is that we finally hired on and successfully trained our 5 new Level 2 Helpdesk agents!  Yahoo!!!  It'll make life so much easier, and couldn't have come at a better time right before the holiday rush.

Needless to say, I have not ridden Cash since Thanksgiving :(  I do plan to take full advantage of a whole month off from school to ride and love on him before I return to more of the craziness. 

Life is good!

Cheers,

Emily

Frozen!

Holy moly, had a farrier appointment today, it was about three below zero. And to add to frozen fingers and toes, Pie was not cooperating! I think they got left in yesterday, so all he wanted was to go OUT!! Standing still to get his feet done was not on his to-do list for the day.

But now that he's got new shoes on that head bob at the trot should go away.

As for me, I was completely frozen by the time I finished the stalls and got home.

And for news in the eventing world, the deadline for applications for the United States Eventing Team technical advisor and Chef d'Equipe position was yesterday. Of the know applicants, I'm most excited about Leslie Law and Jimmy Wofford putting their names out there for the job. Can't wait to see the short list!
