A beautiful, and sad Derby weekend...

So this weekend was THE BIG DERBY WEEKEND. The big build up to the race finally concluded with the 2 minute horse race. We had a little office pool where everyone picked a horse name out of a cup and we could win the $1 pot from everyone's entry. Well i picked 8 Belles, which is on eof the first few fillies to ever race the Derby. She had pretty good odds and i was pullin' for her. She ended up running a great race and pulling in second out of 20...but after the race was over she fell to the ground. 2 Horse ambulances came up and surrounded her and it ended up being bad...really bad. She broke both of her front ankles and had to be put down immediately. I was really upset. I never had any real disputes with horse racing because horses naturally love to run and all, and they are treated well. Well after seeing that, i'm pretty much against it now. I can't believe that after running for only 2 minutes, the poor girl had to go out in all of her glory with 2 broken ankles. So that's depressing....but moving on....

Joel and I had a good weekend. We spent Saturday morning going to see Ben Stein's new documentary 'Expelled.' It's a conservative documentary based on the debate between evolution and Intelligent Design being taught in schools. It was really well done and an awesome movie/documentary. You should all see it. :)

Then today we got some new furniture given to us by some friends of the family and cleaned house all day. But that was about it!

Well it's time for animation domination on tv so i'm out!
