What I'm Currently Fascinated with

It's that time of the week where Mama Kat posts her writing prompts....The one that I chose for this week is: What are you currently fascinated with?

These are the Brazilian Bullriders on tour this year

Well I've always been fascinated with it but right now I'm big into my PBR (Professional Bullriding). There's just something about this:
2008 PBR World Champion Guilherme Marchi

Trying to dominate this:

2007 PBR Bucking Bull of the Year Chicken on a Chain

Right now I'm a little bit upset with the PBR because they axed the one event that I really wanted to go to this fall in Minneapolis....It's only 5 HOURS from my house. I guess there just might not be any live events for me this year.....No 2009 Dear Diary's. But the upside to that is that it gives me time to set aside money for trips next season or just a random trip.....It'll be really hard on me not going to any live events this year but life is rough all over right?


I'm going to be missing out on lots of this, I don't even get to watch it on TV because I work weekends and right now that makes me sad:

Oh and a LOT of THIS too:

I LOVE Butt Cam....It makes me happy. There's always next season right?! Hey maybe I'll even get a trip to Vegas in for the PBR World Finals who nows!?

Mama Kat's Writers Workshop

This is something new that I'm trying out...I've seen it done on a couple of the blogs that I frequent so I thought that I would give it a try. If you want to join in the fun click on the "Mama's Losin' It!!" button to go to Mama Kat's blog. Here are this weeks prompts:

1.) Discuss an intense game of Pictionary that you spent most of Saturday night arguing with your family about, only to log in to your email account two days later to find 35 emails between said family regarding aformentioned game and rules.

2.) Tell about a time you hurt somebody that still bothers you to this day.

3.) The one that got away....spill it.Thank you Kristen from All In A Mom's Life for those last two suggestions.

4.) What inspired you? Write about a time when you were impassioned to write.(writingfix.com)

5.) What happened in the last year? Write about something you can do now that you couldn't do a year ago. (writingfix.com)

6.) Write about the event that was the end of your childhood(writingfix.com)

I'm choosing number 5 this go around. What happened in the last year? Well in the last year or so it's been a bit tipsy turvy. Alot has gone on in my life so I thought that I would try to do this prompt as more of a "photo essay" type post. I hope you enjoy it.

I got my first digital camera and printing station last Christmas. Love my camera, haven't figured it all out yet but I still love it.

I started growing my hair out....I started out with hair slightly longer than Alyssa Millano's short style.

We said "hello" to Laci when we adopted her last March.

Spring actually showed up and decided to stick around....unlike this year.

I went on a trip to Omaha, Nebraska where I got to go to the birthplace of John Wayne, saw my first covered bridge, was in my first Cabela's and got to see one of my favorite sports....Professional Bullriding.

My great-grandma turned 93...She's an AWESOME lady!

I saw Craig Morgan live in concert....AWESOME show!

Twilight happened...Need I say more? You can NEVER have toooo much Edward.

We said "Goodbye" to our dog Shawna....She was almost 20 years old and her quality of life was deteriating. We still miss her alot...Needless to say Thanksgiving is now a dark holiday at our house.

We had new floors put in in December....Laci doesn't like the floors....she slides a lot and spends alot of time lying on the rugs we've got put down.

I had a benign cyst removed from my right leg in February and acquired 3 stitches...For the record stitches SUCK!

This is me and my hair a little over a year after I started growing it out. How cool is that!?

That is my ugly ass scar from my stitches....I really HATE it! Sorry about the fuzziness of the photo.

My mom and I decided to start Cloudberry Creations where you can get your own Tote bags, aprons, oven mitts, etc. We even have our own blog for Cloudberry....http://cloudberrycreations.blogspot.com if you want to drop by and check it out.

Well, that's my year or so in a nutshell....Now for the second half of the question....Write about something you can do now that you couldn't do a year ago. I learned to knit in one 30 minute lunch break....My brother's fiancee had taught herself how to knit and I wanted to learn so she taught one of our co-worker's and I how to knit on our lunch break. I also got back on the sewing wagon in the last few weeks. I hadn't touched a sewing machine since middle school...I just turned 25 on the 21st of February.
