sleep is such an inconvenience

I really wish I could go 24 hours in a row.  Every day.  I have so much I want to do and so little time to do it.

So, if you can’t tell, I have plans.  BIG plans.  Plans that say “Get out of my way or I will run you over!”  Maybe even bigger…

BUT now I’m suddenly not able to keep my eyes open.  I tried walking around to get the blood flowing, used Visine for the burning eyes, drank way too much coffee, and ate a lb of carrots (that had nothing to do with staying awake, I just like to munch on them), and I’m still not going to make it more than another 10 minutes.

So tomorrow I shall wake up, begin my day in a zombie-like state, waste a good 3 hours trying to get my motor started and then realize how little time I have and start running at full speed.  It’s a wicked cycle.  I need to make it more productive and less spastic.

Ok, going to bed.  See you!

Girl Power!!!!!!

Rags to Riches beat the big boys yesterday and I’m just all too excited about it!

For those of you who are clueless on horse racing…feel free to scroll past my overenthusiastic babble.
But she won!!!! I’m totally excited about it. Not only does Todd Pletcher finally win a Triple Crown race..but he wins with the first filly to win in 102 years!!! Way to go Todd, Rags to Riches, John Valesquez and the owners Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith (thanks for running her in this race! It was a great one I’ll never forget). More on this can be found here . There are some videos of the Triple Crown races on that page as well. :-)


Oh and I found this!!!

The 1973 Belmont Stakes where Secretariat (Rags to Riches Great Grandsire) set the time record for a mile and a half that STILL hasn’t been beaten. There is some music to it, but it’s still good :)
