Jen has said that this is her year for weight loss. For me, this is the year of my brain. I feel like I’ve let my brain go last year. I didn’t push it or challenge it enough. I can’t do that this year again lest my brain gets used to not having to think so much and turns into mush.

I’ve decided to do this by reading at least one book per month. I’m on my third book now and so I only have 9 left for the rest of the year. I already have 4 lined up so this shouldn’t be too difficult.

I’ve started trying to learn another language through audio books which surprisingly were very helpful. I’ve already finished one financial audio book as well and still have aroung 12 on leaderhip, business and management.

I’m sooo excited.

My grandmother’s funky. Yup, that’s 100% true. She has an affinity for things which some might consider too be not for grandmothers.

She’s in love with WWE. Yes she knows of the drama and the players. She watches this each and every day so much so that she cried when the wrestlers died (Eddie Guerrero, Owen Hart, etc.).

She also loves cowboys. I think she likes their aura and look. Some women like men in uniform and my grandmother likes cowboys…go figure. I can just imagine how much she’ll enjoy going to the NFR if only we can get our hands on some National Rodeo Finals tickets . For those of you who are not in the know when it comes to these things I shall educate you. 

The first NFR started in Dallas almost 50 years ago (48 if you’re going to be exact) and it features seven main events: calf roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, and team roping. Needless to say, this is not for the faint of heart.

Wrangler Jeans usually sponsors the event which has been taking place in Las Vegas although we don’t know how much longer it will take place there as Oklahoma has been dying to host this event as well.  I sure hope my grandmother finds a way to see this event, she’ll definitely get an overload of cowboys in this event. Yeehaw (wait is that the sounds cowboys make?)
