It's Almost Christmas!

It is well-known that before December 1, I don't think Christmas deserves to get a ton of attention. Most of that comes from Walmart having decorations out in August but that's a rant for another day. As we are well into December, I feel like Christmas cheer is allowed here. Plus, Christmas time means that I get to see my girls. 

For most people, girls would be human but it's established that I'm not human so for me girls means horses.

Granted, I am excited to see my family and friends and I'll be spending a ton of time with them during the four days I'm there, but I can call and text them so I'm not really isolated from them while here. When it comes to the horses, I can't really see or talk to them when I'm here. And really, who could not be excited to see this face (ignore mine).

On the work front, I basically jumped right into work on Wednesday. I was trained on the CMS on Wednesday and Thursday and was doing some things that needed to be done video wise on the site only a few hours after I started. I also got to write my first story with ABR that day (ignore the date) and attend meetings going over plans for 2013 so overall it was a pretty successful first day. I've also got an exciting thing coming down the pike in 2013 with them but I'm in the preliminary stages of planning it out right now so I won't unveil it quite yet.

Tomorrow my boss (MC) is off so I am all alone in the ABR section of the office. I am a bit worried since I only have four days under my belt but I'm going in to tomorrow with some confidence that I can't totally mess the site up in less than 48 hours. MC comes back on Wednesday so I'll have support in my office again. Friday is my last day before Christmas and I get to book it up to Louisville after work to chill out at AG's house for the night before getting to the airport at 4am. It's definitely going to be an interesting flight schedule both this way and back with early morning and late night flights and drives but I'm the freak that thinks stuff like that is fun.

Before I leave you for the night, I want to share this picture of the European wonder Frankel's 3/4 brother Bullet Train. It's one of my favorite pictures from when I went to go see him since it's not the normal head on shot or have him centered type of shot. Playing around with weird angles is successful at times.
