The importance of keeping receipts

So the last week I have been busy with work and life. Being off the pill has done horrible things for my hormones and its time I get back on the pill, to control my moodiness. I work with a guy who has been assigned to my class who is a total control freak, and a jerk to top it off. So this week I have worked on keeping my cool, and not flying off the handle at stupid shit. I am not a control freak, but think I know a bit or two about the job I train. I guess I have the personality that people try to walk all over me, and its up to me to maintain my image and not freak out. So this week has been a challenge, but I made it through. I totally believe in Karma, and this person who thinks he is a god of all god will not have his day with me. I could never be a jerk or asshole to anyone, I don't know how people can live with themselves being that way. I guess insecurity?

I spent Sunday with a friend going to Madrid. Its a totally cute little town that the movie Wild Hogs was filmed in. Did a little shopping even though I am on a total budget, had fun window shopping and bought a cheap little purse made in China. I was thinking today it could be made of Dog skin and I would have no idea. Its hard to trust things bought in China.. Being with my friend Sunday made me analyze my friendships. This person had a short lived affair with a guy who was too young for her, and had a girlfriend. Her heart is broken now that he went back to the girlfriend, or never really left her to begin with. He cheated on her for my friend and now went back to his girlfriend who he never broke up with. I am like WTF? I have been single for a while now, and am ready I think to start dating but I will never date anyone who has a girlfriend. If he cheats on her, he will cheat on me. Anyways my friend drove me completely bonkers talking about this loser for 4 hours straight. I love her but nowI need a vacation from this friend, and hell friends are hard to come by, but I would rather talk to my dogs all day then endure what I went through. Being single is simple, end of story there..

Today I took my car to the dealership to get a oil change and this paint sealer I signed up for. Also my horn honks and the alarm auto sets which is a pain. After walking to Dennys to eat breakfast by myself, then to Starbucks to finish a book ( Good In Bed, loved in Shauna :) ) , then to Home Depot to buy fly traps. Back to the dealership 2 hours later to find out they couldn't fit me in for my work and paint sealer, only to change oil and charge me $40 for a new airfilter I guess I needed. My serviceman said in the system they don't have me for a extended warranty, they only have my truck for 36k/3 year plan and that would explain why GM sends me all this extended warranty shit every month. I got home and checked my reciepts which THANK GOD I kept, and I did pay $2500 for a extended warranty up to 6 years. I will get that taken care of next Monday when I take my truck back again to have the paint sealed and my alarm/horn fixed.

So that is about it. I am going out to feed the horses now as its almost 11pm, Prince my newest rescue thoughbred has a swollen back leg again, so I am back to wrapping it. Farrier comes Wed to trim the herd and cost me another $300. I am going to try to watch him more so I can save some money and do myself. Last time I told him I was going to trim my horses feet, start with the mini- horse he said " Kristen, please call me when you do it as I think it would be fun to watch", laughing as he said it. Its true, trimming is hard work! I love my farrier Patrick, he is extremly sweet, totally handsome, a teacher, a cowboy, and very happily married. Damn thats how it goes :)

Picture is of Prince. A beaten up young thoughbred that I saved from death at a Slaughterhouse. Back leg swells due to a track injury that will take a while to recover him. He is young, and a sweetheart.
