it s nice Wednesday morning. My first week back to work is almost over - Yippee!! Yesterday went great food wise. Work wise - not so much. I made somebody mad. Had no intention of doing so and did nothing wrong. but I feel bad about it. I had a meeting monday with 3 people to discuss my audit and get a handle on areas that might present some risk. that is what we do - figure out where the risk is and look closely at that area. Anyway, normally the financial folks are involved in the meeting but there was no phone and I did not invite them. Yesterday morning, I wrote up a synopsis of the areas where I saw some risk and sent it to the financial people. I did not include the people from the meeting because they were there and knew what was discussed. Well apparently the financila fellow got excited about something and shot an email to one of the people who was in the meeting. That person in turn got angry and then another person had to come talk to me about it. Apparently it was seen as stabbing the guy in the back. Well I explained the process and that I was not saying anything was wrong - just that I needed to look more closely at some things. Then I had to email my boss and tell her I stepped in "it" again. Of course she agreed that i did not do anything wrong and we all hope it will blow over. Sometimes you feel as if your dealing with children. This guy I pissed off is very high up in the organization but must be insecure. I have left many audits where someone had been fired before I left or right after I left so maybe there is something going on here. Who knows. Anyway, the rest of life is pretty decent. I have big plans for this weekend. My friend is coming to visit and we are going dancing. Probably see some bull riding and go to the cutting horse competition. My friend is doing great with 2 of his horses and I am hoping they both make it to the semi finals. I so love watching those animals work. I posted some videos on facebook but have no clue how to post them anywhere else. But the bottom line is - if you like animals, watching a cutting horse work is a treat. Those horses are so talented and athletic and smart and beautiful... They are simply great. The cool thing is that a cutting horse pretty much works the cow himself. The rider just hangs on. now the rider may make some subtle pressure with his legs - nothing you ca see - but mainly, it is all the horse. I guess you can tel by this i am crazy for them. My friend is selling me one or two and i hope they get to go home with me this trip My other friend gave me a saddle. I am so excited about it. This is a $2K saddle and they GAVE it to me. I ama just beside myself with happiness. I love this horse and am so ready to start taking riding lessons. My DD says I just need to get on him and ride ut i want lessons. I want to really learn how to ride and then i want to enter some cutting competitions. That would be a dream come true. And the coolest thing is - i am well on my way. I have 3 friends who are experts in the field. 2 are in the cutting horse hall of fame! I feel so blessed.....

Hope you all have a wonderful day :)
