Random thoughts:
This morning I made Sparkles get all sweaty. Her palms, I mean.
I MEAN: I think I gave her a panic attack.
The story:
On my blog, I can see how people are referred to the site. so if you click on the link in my siggy, I can trace it back to this page, and this post.
WELL: there was a referral from thepioneerwoman.com, which was wierd. I LOVE her site, as does Sparkles, but I rarely comment because she is SO popular, who is going to read my little comment out of the 12,000 she gets on her especially comment-worthy posts?
So I clicked the link, and it took me to a contest The PW was running for a BBQ recipe. I didn't submit a recipe, but Rachel is enamoured with BBQ, so I did a quick control+F and found her. Rachel had submitted a recipe, and somebody thought it was good enough to check out her(our) blog.
In a strange koinky-dink, someone had read EVERY SINGLE POST Sparkles and I have ever written for TheHenway. ALL 200+ of them.
So...I text Rachel, and lay this out for her. Then I tell her, "What if it was Rhee herself? And she liked your recipe and our blog so much she had to check out all our posts? And then she'll put a link to The Henway on her page, and our traffic will go up, and we'll get famous, be asked to be on Good Morning America, write cookbooks, and never have to work in a cubie again?"
So Rach texts a LOL, to which I respond, "Well, if I am going to dream, I am going to dream big, as big as the ocean blue. Because when I dream it might come truuuuue, so when you dream, dream big."
Rach responds, "Your dreams are making my palms sweaty."
Yup. I gave Sparkles a panic attack, BY THINKING POSITIVE.

Poor Sparkles! Breathe dear, breathe.
Boo - glad your dad is doing better. Very important to watch out for the meds. They don't pay attention. AND be careful of meds that are prescribed that all have the same effects, this can lead to serious trouble. P>S> LOVE the pony!!!!
Dacs, hope you haven't floated away yet. It started raining Again here not too long ago. I swear, I need nella to build an ark.
Ummmmm, sorry, I'm trying to remember what everyone had happen.....
Mapes, good for you. Don't let him rearrange stuff. He agreed, then that is the agreement.
Lori, how'd you do at the show?
Algae, sorry the drama llamas suck so badly.
Buffy HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! glad you're not dead
Laree, you are my inspiration. I wish I had the creative mind you have.

I have asked everyone on here to go to teh baby horse naming thread and pick out their 15 most favorite names and then I'll have a more narrow selection to list for the "voting" segment of the contest.
Pm me the list so no one is biased.
Of course, the asking must have gotten lost in the shuffle of the past couple days.
