1 Day Ranch
The website for my rescue is being built and I will have something up in the next week or so… But until then, I’m going to just continue to use my personal site. For those who don’t know, my rescue is called “1 Day Ranch”.(more explanation on the name later) We specialize in severe abuse and neglect rehab and rescue for horses and dogs (Though right now we are focused...

Jessie, 33 days later.
33 days ago I met a little horse named Jessie. I have talked about her a lot on twitter and facebook, but thought I would take a minute to post an update on her progress!
This is what Jessie looked like on August 18, 2011.
Jessie on Day 1.
I wasn’t sure if Jess was going to make it through the night her first night here. She was SO sick and SO skinny. She couldn’t hold her...

love, happiness, fairy tales, and rainbows
Some people would say that I am a bit cynical in regards to the “love, happiness, fairy tales, and rainbows” department… Ok, maybe a bit more than cynical. Jaded? perhaps. However, every once in a while something happens that forces me to put aside my cynical ways for a minute…. Well, mark your calendars folks-cause today is one of those days.
When my little sister,...
Quick Update
While I have an extra 10 minutes I thought it was time to update the world (ok, maybe not the “world” but those out there who care at least…) about what has been going on these past few weeks!
The term “getting the ball rolling” on a project is quite appropriate to use in this case…. Though, it is more like a wrecking ball. We started renovating the ranch that...

"You're doing what?"
While some people know what has been up these past few weeks, I haven’t wanted to really say anything about it until I knew that it was actually going to happen… But, as much as I kinda cant believe it, it is! So here we go….
Over the last 5 or 6 years I have had some crazy ideas and dreams for what I want to do with my life…
1-I want to start a brand/Merchandise line.

Lessons Learned... goodbye, Spike.
This week I had to say goodbye to a special friend. I have had a lot of questions about what happened so I think this is the best way to explain it to everyone…
——————————Background info…
Spike’s early life was a true example of the worst in humanity. He was horribly abused and had he not encountered the people he did...
Mark.
I’ve decided to break up the next few posts but I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t write this first… The time between 11pm Saturday night through Sunday morning goes down as one of the worst segments of time in quite a while…
The world lost a one of a kind person on Saturday night. Mark Robbins was someone you meet and feel like you have known for a long time. Though...

AAAAHHHHHH
The past few months have been a marathon.
Work, trips, old friends, new friends, no sleep, dog rescues, sketches, Natural disasters, the world was going to end, the world didn’t end, weddings, dresses, even less sleep, more dog rescues, more sketches… Its all a bit of a blur.
Since the last time I posted something I have started fourteen (yes 14) posts about a variety of different...

New places and snow storms.
For the love of god… Could someone please tell me when Oklahoma decided to start taking winter seriously? I mean really… I dont remember ever having a real snow storm as a kid, yet here we have had 2 major ones in the course of what, 10 days? yup. Suck.
Actually, I normally like snow… just not huge amounts that lock me in my house for days.
Speaking of houses… I gots...

Not a goodbye.
Lets be honest here, I have been putting off actually posting about this because it makes me sad… But, here we go.
Most everyone knows I have been working for the Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative for the past almost 2 years. A long time! In those 2 years all the people here have ended up meaning SO much to me. Especially the best 3 bosses ever… Derrick, Tommy, and Chad. They have...
My 2011 wish.
Perhaps it is the fact that the birds are falling from the sky? Or, maybe it is the fish that are spontaneously freezing to death in the rivers?… but something tells me that 2011 is going to be interesting.

SLC Tuesday
Truth is, I have no idea why I love the movie SLC Punk so much… But, I do. I woke up this morning with lines from the movie stuck in my head. Seriously, the lines were looping in my brain like one of those songs that you suddenly realize you have been humming for 3 solid days, and once you realize it you would do pretty much anything short of a lobotomy to make it go away…....
My Favorite New Blog
I would like to take a moment to introduce everyone to my new favorite site ever. Sure, everyone knows that I am about 1 puppy away from going off the deep end and being the star of the next episode of “Animal Hoarders-Oklahoma”… But for real, this is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Things...
… and stuff, and people, and places and things.(What was that? I have no idea… just went with it- don’t question my brilliance.) In other news, I’m about 100% sure that I’ve lost my mind. But anyway, moving on.
There are a few things that I REALLY would love to have, or have happen right now.
#1-A new place to live.
The house I am currently renting is pretty much...
Anonymous asked: How do I meet that sexy beast Cory you talk about so much. He sounds super hot. Love to know him better. PS. I love that hair. You can move back to still water anytime. Read The Blister www.shineontheblister.blogspot.com HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
The Cake.
I posted this on twitter last night and got some comments/questions from people about it. So, I figured might as well go ahead and post it here too.
First off… The infamous “People Fail” Twitter Cake-
Yeah yeah, I know. My cake making skills are pretty much non existant. Don’t laugh at me!
As it turns out, while the other females in my family were busy learning...

New Day, New Platform
Here we go again…
Seeing as I have the attention span of a chipmunk on LSD sometimes, I needed a new platform that was easier for me to just jump on, say what I needed to say, and go. My life is powered by coffee and a prayer, and for those of you who know me well.. You know this is true.
Sadly, my old blog was neglected… Then when I decided what I wanted to do with it there were...
