Vacation...sort of.

Ahhh...vacation. Even though the high is 40 and it has been raining and cloudy for the past 3 days, it is still vacation to me. The weatherman says it will be better this weekend- we'll see if he's right. (He usually isn't but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt here).

So what have I done since I have been home you might ask? And even if you aren't asking yourself that question I am going to tell you anyway. I have been to the barn to ride my horse and boy! was I sore the next day!! Talk about aches and pains and not being able to move! But it is worth it. We have a show coming up this weekend (hence why I hope the weatherman is correct in his forecast) and I need to kick Ace's butt into shape (and apparently mine too). And don't worry there will be another post coming about the happenings of this weekend and pictures for all of you who ever wondered how a Saddlebred horse show works. I have also been to Olive Garden (of course).

I went to the eye doctor on Monday and boy did he put a glitch in my vacation. Turns out I am having an allergic reaction to the protein build-up on my contacts. So...that means no contacts for 2 weeks! I have to put drops in my eyes q.i.d and get my glasses the correct prescription so at least I can see something for 2 weeks (which happened today). I am hoping my eyes make a quick recovery so I can start wearing my contacts again in St. Kitts because the sun is brutal and I don't have prescription sunglasses. I think what would solve all of my problems is laser eye surgery. Maybe when I am not a poor grad student with thousands of dollars in student loans (which won't be for the next 30 years).

What else have I done on my "vacation?" I went to Walmart. I know it is very exciting stuff. You should stop reading now if you can't handle the excitement. Good ol' Walmart always has what I need (except toothpaste, didn't seem to have the one I want). My mom just loves it when I come home and spends all her money [insert sarcasm here].

And just for you Sas, I got to wear the hat today because it is so freaking cold! Here are some pictures for you.

Me and my lovely hat

Cody and I

He loves it when I love up on him.

And there you have it. My exciting vacation thus far. What is in store for next week? Only time will tell (but there is a definite haircut somewhere in there).

Until next time...
