Guest Starring...ME!

Hey y'all....

Hop on over to Tea Time With Tess to read my guest post I did on her blog!  Happy Wednesday!!!! :-)

Not My First Rodeo

On Saturday night, we got tickets for the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo.  It comes once a year to Austin for about two weeks, and includes a full fair, carnival, livestock, rodeo, and a concert from some pretty popular bands every night.

 Get your horns up!

 This little guy was one of the cutest things I have ever seen!  So soft and fluffy, and those eyes will melt your heart.

 This little one was also a precious little fluffball.

 Unfortunately, I must have gotten too close to this mama and her baby, because she started pawing the ground and snorting like she was about to charge at me while I was taking pictures at the gate.

 I don't know if you've ever seen mutton-bustin', but it's hilarious!  These little 5 or 6-year-old munchkins try to ride around on sheep.  They all have big hockey helmets on to stay safe.  So cute!

 The mutton-bustin' kiddos with all of the fair queens.

 Barrel racing!

 And the moment everyone has been waiting for...angry bulls getting ready to charge out of the chute!  When they're setting up, you can hear the bulls banging their horns inside the chute...kind of creepy!

 The beautiful horses run through the arena at the end.  Incredible sight.

 After the rodeo, they set up a rotating stage in the middle of the arena and we got to see The Band Perry!  They are incredible.

 Goodnight, Austin!

Sickie

I'm home sick today, and always forget what you get to experience on day-time TV.

Mike Tyson is on Ellen.  He has a tattoo of a spider eating his eye gracing the left side of his head.  Um...why?

Also, the following is an actual Google Chat conversation Dutch  Boy and I had several hours ago, provided here for your entertainment.
