We aren’t going to Vegas for baseball season.

I know you’ve been waiting by the computer, refreshing your browser by the minute to make sure you would be the first to see a new update.

Andy pulled it off at the eleventh hour and worked it out so we could stay in Colorado and still have a decent income to keep the composting worms in compost and future kitten fosters in kitten chow. My friends even threw me a going away party that happily turned into a “yay you’re staying” party.

I was going to try my hardest to not mention roller derby in this post but there is nothing else as interesting to write about. Seriously, who wants to read that I spend all my time on Facebook, checking my email and occasionally go outside to feed the horse a carrot.

Oh wait, that’s kind of interesting, did I mention we have a horse? His name is Bad Horse. He’s not really our horse and his name is Romeo, or Bad Horse for short. He lives in the backyard.

About a month ago another neighbor came over and said she had some friends that were looking for a place to board their horse. A few days after, Bad Horse was living in our barn. It’s a pretty awesome deal, they clean up the poop and feed him. We get paid a little bit and get to pet and feed a horse carrots.

The last few days have been warm and spring like. I really enjoyed watching him roll around in his corral on his back like a over sized dog. Although, I will say it’s a little disappointing that his desire to be my friend is directly proportional to how many carrots I am holding.

Another somewhat awesome thing is the second car we’ve decided to get. We had planned on buying a older model Mazda Miata convertible to drive in Vegas. Now we’re staying in Denver, but the idea of a second car still sounds good. We’re continuing on with the plan. Can things get anymore awesome?

YES!

Because (you knew this was going to come around to roller derby again didn’t you) I have been promoted from newbie fresh meat to Kill Scout. It’s level 1a which means “baby” Kill Scout, but Kill Scout just the same. The process for moving up the ranks is newbie (practice Tuesdays and Thursdays), get promoted to Kill Scout 1a (add Monday/Wednesday practice with the big kids), Kill Scout 1b (get invited to Sunday scrimmage with the big kids), pass your skills test, pick a skater name, get drafted to a team.

Or something like that. The Kill Scout invitations and such are a little fuzzy.

So, to summarize:

Not moving to Vegas,
Staying in awesome Denver,
Horse living in the back yard,
Purchasing a Miata convertible,
Roller Derby promotion…all=awesome
