Oh, I guess it comes with this part of the year, but this rainy weather is annoying! It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so humid either... But enough complaining.
Due to the likelyhood of rain, I didn't haul Big Boy to the Parade. Of course the moment we got to Nashville, it was blue skies, and perfect. So. I was pretty ticked. Once again, enough complaining.
So after the Parade (Which was still fun!). Hannah and I wandered down to the fairgrounds, and went to the tractor show. Katrina was on a mission, apparently some big vets are trying to close down Dr. Brester. They say his methods are out of date and all that. But it really boils down to, everyone is going to him because he's cheaper. So she was walking around and having every sign a petition (I mean, she knows EVERYONE, so it wasn't a big deal).
That's it for now I guess :( Mom's not asking, she's telling me to go "Play" with the cat who can't control his bladder. Grrrrrrrr.

The worst thing ever! (But the most fun...)
So today, was... Interesting.
I rode Big Boy up around the trail, lots of cantering which was fun :D Oh wait... YESTERDAY... Yesterday He wouldn't stand still, so I just made him keep going. And going. For TWO HOURS... I was really feeling it then :( Also today, I am doing laundry. I for one, never want to hear another person complain about doing laundry. EVER. I have had to do 7 loads. SEVEN LOADS! Mom is cleaning out her closet, getting rid of stuff that doesn't fit. So it is my job to tromp up and down the stairs carrying baskets, and loads.
But since my last post, life has been the same. Saturday is the parade, which I am sort of freaking out about because I don't want Big Boy to act up, and I REALLY don't want to wear the NARSTY shirts. Blegh.
And right now, I would like to apologise, I am really not feeling the authoress in me :/
WELL... Hmmm... The Bread of Life Dudes are coming down again! For a camping trip this time though! (They came last December for a service project at our house) So This time will not involve cleaning muck out of stalls, and chopping wood. But Ultimate frisbee, Fishing, Clay fights in the creek, Spy night (Hide and Seek in the dark), Night hike, possible Snipe hunt :DDD, and of course, the ever popular CAMPFIRE!!! I really cannot wait, it is really nice to have friends to goof off with. I honestly don't know how I am going to wait THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!!
Friday, mom and her friend Pat are leaving for a Sisters on the Fly Camper Rally, in Someplace IL. (No, "Someplace" is not a real city) Friday through Sunday, we get to tough it out by ourselves. Well, mainly by cleaning tack and horse before the Spring Blossom Parade on Saturday.
So tomorrow (In case I don't get around to a post)
I have to:
-Hannah and I are going to walk down the back trail and trim the branches, and such so I can enjoy my wild trail rides with my face intact.
-Ride the boy, and prepare for PARADE!
-MY OWN laundry :D
-Call the Lovin's to let them know I will need to wear the lovely shirts afterall.
-Go to the library and take The Lion King back (Flippn $5 fine!)
That should do it :D Somewhere in there make and EAT food :D
Well, I suppose that can be the end of the post. BUT I forgot to explain the title! I was really bad today and rode Big bareback, barefoot, (With a bridle though!), and cantered down the trail. Having the time of my LIFE! It was so much fun! But then I remembered how I need to start riding bareback more often :/

Pan-head
So in the midst of well, everything. I have found yet another band I REALLY like. And it is the band Skillet. Yes, named after a frying pan.
Not only for it's Rock/Christian Genre, but it has a girl drummer! Yes, the blond chick is a drummer. So stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW, go to youtube and look up Skillet. 'Hero', 'Monster', or even 'The older I get'.
Talk about a different kind of group they can reach! A HUGE group. They can reach people that say Casting Crowns, or other less rocky, hard core groups can't reach. I am in awe! I just love it! A refreshing change from the sound alike singers we have today. You can totally tell what kind of place I am in in life... I mean this is the kind of music I am loving!
-Skillet :D
-Hawk Nelson
-Toby Mac
-Third Day
-Jeremy Camp
-Fireflight
-Stellar Kart
Yeah, see what I mean. If you have time, look some of these up.
Music is the greatest ministry for me. I really relate to it. I mean, I don't really write all that well, I don't talk to people about my problems, but I sure can crank up my ipod and jump around like a crazy person to get my anger out. Or even just show how I feel. Sometimes if I don't even KNOW how I feel, I listen to my ipod and if a certain song really strikes me, it helps me understand myself. Wow. If I can't even understand myself, how can other people?!
I really think the youth of today is moving in an intense direction. No more straddling the fence, they have picked they're side, and they are going full force. All I can say, is it's about time. And to 'Count me in' as the band Leeland would say.
Another thing before I wrap this up... About the lead singer wearing eyeliner, or the lead singer from Fireflight having crazy color hair, or the Hawk Nelson dudes having Mohawks, Who cares? It is self expression. On those days when I feel strangely intense, I totally reach for the black eyeliner! Honestly, I hate it when people frown at a CD cover because the people in it look different, or express different. I really think it is a artist/musician thing. Writers express themselves in their books, whereas architects with their creations. Same with God! He expressed his power, beauty, and love through the creation of the world. (And surrounding)So if the dude wants to wear more eyeliner than the girls in the band. Go for it.

Mummy dearest sent us on a mushroom hunting excursion on our property... Yeah a few photos to comentate..
They are supposed to be hidden around these little snots. But the fun part is when you come across:
Yeah, so obviously we didn't find any, because I personally had no idea what we were even looking for! Apparently they look like brains...

Days of change
Growing up is a curious thing. Sometimes you don't realize how much you have changed, until you compare...
Some of the pictures were too horrifying to post.. ugh...
Some of the pictures were too horrifying to post.. ugh...
Crazy cool :D
So nothing... bad... has happened in quite awhile! (Unless you count the fact that I have to press the 'c' key harder than any other due to it being outa wack or something...) So I will even make a list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Big Boy was a BEAST at 4-H on Thursday. I mean AWESOMELY good. We did our demo, and even if I didn't make much sense, he did AMAZING! It felt so good because I trained him! I mean, he changed gaits with the slightest cue. Picked up the right leads. Didn't neigh, buck, or rear. I mean just crazy cool!
2: I'm getting a tan =)
3: We went to Target, and got a pair of capris!
4: Jesus loves me :D
Well, actually... That's it :D BUT enough to make me feel very happy :D
So this next week will go back to the normal, eat, ride horse, eat, sleep, etc... BUT with Shooting sports mtg on Monday, H&P on Tuesday, and Dog's on Wednesday! So yeah, I will still be busy which is nice, because I would totally get bored.
Okay. That's all :DDD
