My birthday has been the best this year. I am in phoenix Arizona.. shooting in my 2nd big match in Cowboy Shooting.. its called the Winter Range Championship match. We shoot a total of 12 stages..Each stage set in early 1900 western era and diffrent shooting scenarios each time.  We shoot 4 stages each day.. and each stage consists of shooting 10 targets with a rifle.. 10 targets with 2 pistols.. and 4 targets with shotgun. All of the guns we use are single action guns.. no automatics.. ...= 96-100 targets a day.
First day my 4 stages consisted of 2 clean ( no misses) stages and I missed only one on one stage and 2 on another stage. Time was not too bad. ( I was okay with my score) Could have done better as the ones I missed were dumb mistakes. MY mistakes..

Today I was struggling with my blood sugar a bit and also.. we didn't start shooting until 2 this afternoon...and 85 degree sunny warm weather, and I was sweating.. .. I was kinda tired.. and uhmmm lets see... I wonder what other excuse I can come up with for my crappy shooting.. LOL   LOL
The first stage I missed only 1.. time wasn't too bad 41 seconds I think..
(Marshal shoots a stage anywhere between 28-33.. ) * Don't compare me with his time please..  *
Anyway.. my 2nd stage was clean..
3rd stage was an absolute disaster. ...
I was on my 9th shot in rifle..and thought I had shot 10 rifle shells and in doing so I ejected my live 10th round out so had to fumble around in my belt for another 38 rifle round.. couldn't get the damned thing out of my cartridge belt.. ( lost seconds) finally got it.. shoved it in my gun and finished up the rifle section.. then I had to be prompted to put my rifle down vertically this time..As I forgot and laid it on the table..
(more lost seconds)
Run over to the shotgun window...then I shot my shotgun knockdown targets...which one didn't go down..( even more lost seconds) so had to grab another shell and hit it again. ( this time the damned thing went down)
By then I was really battle rattled ( NOT what you are supposed to be) and I tried to make up my time on my pistols and I should never EVER do this.. I shot really really fast.. but I missed 4.. FOUR!!! Totally unheard of to miss 4 with pistols ..I mean.. I wasn't squeesing and pulling the trigger.. I was grabbing and jerking the trigger. .It was an ugly sight and a more ugly time on the clock..
So I drank some water.. ate some carbos..settled my ass down and shot my 4th stage clean..  

Tomorrow we shoot at 11 so it will be much better as it will not be after lunch etc.. ((Wonder what excuses I will use if I shoot bad... hahaha)

Have spent a bunch of Marshal's money   on a couple new awesome ball gowns.. a new hat.. skirts.. pettycoats.. another corset.. 2 skirts - blouse ensembles....and  2 bustled skirts ( all in 1800 style of course.. ) he bought me a new custom holster for my CC pistol .. so I think I fared pretty well on my birthday..
I HAVE got him a few new shirts and vest..( nice of me huh.... )  

We are having a blast.. Ate at a few REAL and authentic Mexican restaurants and I have put all the weight back on that it took me a month to get off..  .. but the salsa and the guacamole and the chips and the tortillas made fresh filled with beef and chicken and shrimp and tons and tons of dripping cheese...yummmmy~~

Then the other places we have eaten at... the Mesquite Flame Ribeye steaks.. the french frys.. the Parmesan potatoes.. the chicken fry loaded with gravy and skin on mashed potatoes.. ((NOW you know why I have gained weight?)

Filming has been very good and productive also.. We have a lot of good footage and pictures so that was successful.
We will be home this next week.. and it will be back to eating stupid spinach leaves ..no bread.. no chips.. no potatoes...
sighhhhhhhhh  

But until then............................. I have 3 more days of "eating".. LOL

Thank you all so much for the tons and tons of Birthday wishes on here and on my Facebook and all the texts I got..
I feel sooooo special..

[Teresa]

Once again.. Thanks to everyone.. I am STILL getting Birthday wishes..
it is awesome to have so many  friends.. ( or at least ones who pretend to be.. ) hahaha

I shot all my 4 stages CLEAN today!! I even beat Marshal on the last one.. Shot my last stage of 26 targets in 34 seconds... and he shot in 37.. 

It was a lot of fun..and will be heading home in a few hours so best get to bed..

It's okay, Warph, she's probably left town by now.  You can come out of hiding.  Hopefully the very few misses were going in your direction.
