Thoughts on a Tuesday

Society6
The neighbors are blasting Gangster's Paradise into our shared courtyard at 10 pm tonight.  I'm not quite sure if they're confused as to where they live or it's just wishful thinking.

I can't stand or sit right now.  The first time, Wreckett Ryon bucked me off and the second time he stopped right before a jump (while I went flying forward) - with me landing oh-so-gracefully on my back both times.  I've got a bag of ice on my back and Aleve in my system, so right now it's all good.  Falling is what makes it a sport, right?  And now, to online shop for a new helmet.

I'm completely petrified of the spider that lives on my new car (yay new car).  It's a black, janky-looking, fuzzy thing with electric blue eyes.  I swear it was hissing at me.  I've seen it on the trunk, in a crack on the driver's side door, and on the front windshield.  I keep trying to convince myself that it's just Charlotte but my brain is just not buying it.

Is it just me or is it completely insane that it's almost May?  And is anyone else getting whiplash by how quickly this year is flashing by?  I feel like Lauren's Callum just went off to be a page in the Virginia Senate, Jade's Cy and Lisa's Baby O were just born, and Diana had just moved to Nashville.  As Erin recommended, it might just be time to pump the breaks, world, just a tad.

My barren closet needs some help.  Apparently, I skipped wearing clothes last summer (eeps) because there's nothing in there suitable for 100+ degree dry heat.  My online shopping gurus - help please?

  1. Maybe your neighbors are just wishing for a change of scenery. Also, I'm terrified of spiders, so I would probably never had been able to drive the car again after seeing a critter inside.

  3. Oh no, I am sorry you hurt your back! Feel better soon! That spider sounds pretty cool! I am sure he/she is very nice! Yay for the new car! I think i completely forgot about that song. Haha, how nice.

  4. We've talked about this or that being the worst, but this might actually be the worst. Considering that the helmet was damaged, shouldn't you get checked out by a doctor??? Please take care of yourself!

    When you feel better, try using a rolled-up piece of newspaper to usher the spider off your car...before it lays eggs.

    PS - Maybe that was Ryon's way of asking to retire from jumping. Riding (without jumping) is still good exercise.

  5. Ahhhhh.....painful!!!! I hope you feel better!

    And I feel the same about summer clothes. I'm just going to find a bunch of light dresses to help push me through the heat.

  6. Baby. How are you feeling this morning. Next day is always the worst, so I worry. (That's the mama in me, I guess.) And yes, May? WTH? It's chilly and rainy here, so it's as if April never even existed. And I too have no clothes.

  7. my goodness.. i'm terrified of spiders. and i hope your back feels better! sounds so terrifying and painful but so amazed at your resilience and tenacity!

  8. I'm sorry to hear you're in such bad shape! Getting thrown from a horse has to be scary too, no matter how used to it & in love with the horse you are... I would also be terrified to get near my car knowing a spider had taken up residence there. One day, I hopped on my scooter and was doing about 45 down road, when I saw a Huntsman spider clinging to the keys (approximately 4 inches from my legs). I almost drove that scooter into a ditch.

    But oh, you're telling me time is going by too fast! Seriously, how is it May. GAH. On the plus side...one more month and we'll be back in the US! :)

  9. I despise loud neighbors. Especially after 8pm or before 8am. And yes, time is FLYING. Thanks for mentioning my Baby O. She's 9 months already!

  10. you must be in pretty great shape, i have a feeling if i was bucked off ryon i'd be in the emergency room. ugh, but still, be gentle with yourself, these types of things can get worse before they get better.

    my neighbor has been in a real play-music-really-loud mood lately, usually starting around 7:30 am. it's on with windows and doors open rain or shine. the other day i was so irritated because i watched a 'girls' marathon and that edie brickell 'what i am' song was on it. i hadn't heard that dreadful song in years and i had it stuck in my head for days afterward. finally it was out of my head . . . for a minute because suddenly i heard "i am what i am if know what know i mean" coming through my walls, on repeat! ahhh!

  11. I would set my car on fire if there was some big hairy spider popping up everywhere, just saying :-) Those falls sound terrible - I'm glad you're okay aside from aches and pains!

  12. Couldn't agree more! I just hope that I spent the time that seemed to go by so fast productively!

  15. Truly. This year is out of control.

    At the same time, I do kinda love that we're into May. It seems such a hopeful little month . . .

    Especially right now, because it's already been two almost-full days in Paris and that is just not acceptable. Slow it down, world. xo

  17. It sounds more like you need to shop for new body armor for Ryon. I'm assuming it will take him years to grow up and out of this phase...

    Why do new cars always come with spiders? I can't tell you how many times I've almost driven off the road because a spider appeared in front of me. I always have a box of tissues near the front seat so I can deal with that but we have small spiders up here and they definitely don't hiss.

    I just got some things from J. Crew and they were all really, really cheap if you like that sort of thing.

  18. I'm totally with you about how fast this year has gone. I can't believe we're almost halfway down 2014 and realized my driver's license is expiring. I'm freaked out about a spider in a car.

  19. Neighbours. Can't live with them and can't live with them. Hang in there (at least they are not puking over the balcony onto your washing below). As for online shopping, I have never been able to browse Asos without buying something.

  20. Oh man, I hope you're ok and haven't done yourself any permanent damage. Be careful! X
