stick a fork in me, I'm done

It's been a long, stressful couple of weeks. I went up to the stable earlier this week for some horsey therapy, but it was a bit disappointing because I got attacked by mosquitoes, and the horses had fly masks on so I couldn't get any good face/eye shots of them. They seemed glad for some attention, though. I got a couple of "hello" nickers, which was sweet. I love it when they do that.

A customer placing a tag sale ad today told me the whole sad story about her husband's infidelity, which was very weird. What is it about me that total strangers share such intimate stories with me? Perhaps I missed my calling; perhaps I should have been a therapist. Or maybe a bartender.

I accumulated enough survey points to get some more Amazon gift certificates, so last night I went on a shopping spree. I bought Good Night and Good Luck, O Brother, Where Art Thou? (plus the soundtrack CD), and Up in the Air. Yes, a veritable Clooney film fest. It did make me feel a little bit better. I didn't own any of his movies (believe it or not). I would have bought Ocean's Eleven too, but they show that so often on TV, I don't have to.

I'm enjoying the cooler weather we're having. It's so nice to have the muggies gone. Good sleeping weather! I love that little nip in the air. Brings to mind crunchy leaves, crisp apples, and crystalline skies. I just hope this crazy summer we've had doesn't ruin our fall color.

Time to get into jammies and be a couch potato for the evening. TGIF. Happy weekend!
