I'm a real cowgirl now
Hi Ya'll :-) I'm back in Austin (temporarily). We had a greaaatt time at the dude ranch...and this afternoon we went horse back riding. Here's some pics from the event :-)
Me and my horse "Pumpkin" Pronounced: "Pun-kin'" (Oh yes, and I learned that I have a "City girl Yeee-Hawww" Not quite Texas yet...I have to practice :-):
My team: (Left to right: Shelly, Me, My boss Kristina, Erin, Stephanie, Jeff)
It really was a great time. We arrived in the morning on Wednesday, and spent the day in meetings until dinner time. Afterwards, we were able to check into our rooms, and unload the vans :-). We then had drink fest in Mary and Kristina's room (Our manager's)...Later we headed to the fire pit for some marshmellow roasting, and all the girls trying to scare the crap out of me with Ghost stories :-) Once we were too cold to stay outside, we went back to the meeting room and had two raunchy games of group pictionary. (Which was interesting with half the participants wasted...hehehe...and surprisingly, I wasn't one of them).
When Steph and I finally headed to our room around midnight, we found out that our heater had broken. Instead of calling anyone, we just went to bed and figured it wouldn't be so bad. In the morning, we realized just how FREAKING cold it gets in Hill Country (I'm sure I won't get any sympathy from any Rochester peeps, but I had a to try! ;-) Anyway, in the morning, we bombarded Shelly and Erin's room for some heat :-) We had our morning meetings, then free time where we sat in the sun and played cards. After lunch, we went horseback riding, then on a hay ride, and then headed home to Austin. The days were totally packed, and we did enjoy ourselves, and really bonded with the training team.
So now I"m at home, my bags have been unpacked, and then repacked for my trip to Rochester. Jennifer came over to inspect my outfit for the Christmas party this weekend. Seymen and his friends have rented a limo...and not just any limo, but a HUMMER LIMO!! :-) So that'll be fun! And then we'll be going out downtown after the party. Oh yeah, and I talked to my dad tonight, and it turns out that tomorrow he will be playing the Jewish Santa Claus, for the Children's Family CHristmas party during the day. What a sight to see...
But anyway, I can't wait to get home and see my family. Chrissy, Jake, Seymen, Maki and I are going to Shiki for dinner tomorrow night. I CAN'T WAIT! It's been since JULY that I've had Japanese food :-) And Mochie Balls! YUMMMMMMYYYY...
Anyway, I have to go to bed...Tomorrow I've been volunteered to pick up the doughnuts for the team...so I have to get an early start. Good thing everything's packed, and I picked out my clothes tonight :-) So I'll write again when I get back from ROchester. Have a great weekend everyone!:-)
