Mechanical Bulls.

So all my life riding a mechanical bull was like a huge dream of mine. I live on a tiny island where I can't just go ride a bull. None exist (as far as I can tell) on this island. So instead I would just ignore my desire to try to ride one.

Last year, however, we went to a wedding at Hatfield Farms. It was a beautiful wedding and the whole thing was gorgeous. Even the supper was delicious and I'm super picky. So then after the supper, we all changed into jeans& sweaters (maybe you can tell why I thought this was the best wedding ever?) and proceeded to drink blue drinks. Okay, maybe that was just me but everyone drank something pretty much.

And then. Something amazing happened. They opened up some barns and inside one of them? A mechanical bull. It was an amazing thing. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I was bouncing with joy. Down side? It was extremely popular and there was a long wait to get on it. So I pretended I didn't want to because I didn't want all those people watching. So I languished around the fire .. paced in front of the barn waiting for the crowd to leave. I watched the bull destroy person after person.

Poor guy..

This guy couldn't quite last either ..

My boyfriend almost broke his neck ahaha

And then? I was pretty drunk. I got up on that bull. I got spun around and bucked and spun the other way. The girl controlling the bull had no mercy. None at all. In fact she mocked me. Until she couldn't get me off. That's right folks. I was the best mechanical bull rider that that woman has ever seen. I rode that bull about 8 times and drew a crowd. Did I care? Nope. They were in awe. It was like watching a star being born.

Recap.

Today I went to the barns. It rained a lot, so I didn't ride my bike. That sucks. I will HAVE to ride tomorrow regardless of the weather. My hip& shoulder don't hurt .. thank whoever for small miracles.

So, now I have some pretty photos :) I have quit 365 on the blog ..but I will keep uploading them to my flickr. I'll post the link at some point! Until then, enjoy these.

PS -some Petit Prince to brighten your day :)

Favorite things [1]

So .. I decided to do a post on a few of my favorite thingsssssss. I will dedicate this day (Wednesday) to things I love. It will have a clever name. I will call it Wicked Favorite Wednesdays.

That's right. I even made a button. Don't say I'm not THE BEST BLOGGER EVER.

So there we have it. My first thing that I have decided is totally awesome? Blue drinks. There is something to be said about the color blue, allow me to explain.
Blue is fabulous. It's the color of the ocean AND the sky. It's a universal color. That's so deep you don't even understand what it means (or at least -I don't). Blue is calm& cool -like me. Almost everyone likes some shade of the color blue -again, like me. Mostly everyone likes me at least sometime in their life. It might be short lived or it might be a lifetime of longing to be as cool& calm as me. I am the living embodiment of -no. Not Christ. Even better - BLUE!

Now, why are blue drinks the best? They are so pretty .. they are tropical .. they are delicious .. they get you hammered. Many a person (aka 4) have asked for my recipe for my 'blue drink'. It doesn't have a name, or I don't know it and am way too lazy to look it up.

I have graciously decided to take the time to write it out for you.

1. Take a glass.
2. Add as much vodka as you can without feeling ashamed*
3. Add some blue Bols
4. Add a drop of 7-Up to decrease the chances of being shipped to AA.
5. Enjoy.
*Blogger Warning: Amount you can add without shame increases greatly when either drinking or mixing alone. At least have your dog give you a withering stare. It helps. Trust me. Thanks, Squirt.


Here is a photo of the steps. Just call me the next Van Gogh.

Now you have the visual. Here are some shots of fancy blue drinks :)

What are some of YOUR favorite things?! Let's link up ..or whatever it is you do when you own a blog& make a button.
