Quiz: What is my favorite part about not being able to sleep late at night?
Answer: Infomercials!

So, obviously I love infomercials and obviously everyone thinks they are ridiculous and I must be crazy and I've accepted that. Now. On to the good stuff- a week and a half ago or so I got to fulfill my dream of being IN an infomercial!!! I know. I told them it was my dream come true, and even they looked at me like I was nuts. It was for a lotus spike mat: Check out the spike on this thing:

Yeah. I know. I was laying down and sitting up on this mat over and over. It was pretty intense. They asked me if I was going to buy one afterward, but I wasn't offering them any guarantees. Actually, even though I didn't use it properly, my back did feel better the next few days. Maybe that was psychological. Hmm. Maybe it really works! Either way it was seriously a blast, and I'm still super excited about the whole thing.

Speaking of dreams coming true, I finally got to ride a horse! So, for the longest time I had this really vivid memory of riding on a horse when I was younger. One day I mentioned it in the car with my family, and my mom so rudely pointed out that I'd never actually been on a horse! I insisted, but she insisted right back that my whole memory of that event was falsified!! Just awful. I was heartbroken.

So the last two weekends in a row Logan and I went to Idaho.
The weekend before this one we celebrated the June birthdays in his family, and as we were searching for wrapping paper in the basement I discovered an old tiny cowboy vest and chaps that were Logan's when he was little. What? Oh, of course I put them on. Who wouldn't? They were awesome!

I wore them to the party.

Anyway, so this last weekend I asked Logan if we could pretty please ride their horses while we were there. I called to let my Mom know I was creating real memories, and she confessed that she actually did remember putting me up on the horse with her when I was 2! Of all the sneaky....jeez. All this time I thought I'd made it up! Well, anyway, we went and it was super fun. I loved it. I didn't take my camera out with us, but I got a couple pictures before we went out. We even got to race this huge sprinkler thing that was watering the crops on the way back in and as soon as I said "Ride like the Wind, Bullseye!" my horse went faster. She was so cool. (I only got a little scared when she whinny'ed real loud)I found an old picture of my Mom when she was 27 and put it with my picture, since I'm 26. Aw, look how cute we are.

We went up to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the 4th of July with Logan's younger sister Shanda and his parents. They had a cool fireworks show at the base of a ski slope and it was a lot of fun. While we were there we went into a candy store to load up for the show, and I saw these fudge things decorated all cute and thought "now where have I seen these things recently?!" And then I remembered Sarah just blogged about how she went to Jackson Hole and saw them! I laughed and told Logan and he said, "Oh great, now you're really blog stalking your friends!" ha ha. Stalk stalk.

I guess that's about it. Phew! I've gotta get on top of this blogging thing so we're not all overwhelmed.
