A little bit of nothingness

Heey,

Yeah, I'm totally feeling better. Yesterday was just pretty tough, and lonngg.

You never realize how much you LOVE water until you can't drink any... Man, I thought I was going to flip out. When your stomach is crazy upset you're not supposed to drink water (don't ask me why). But all I have learned from this is two words.. 7up and Saltines. Saltine crackers that is. The contain uh.. bicarbonate of soda or something like that. It totally works.

Okay, so tonight I went through Nashville to pick up some movies at the library and run some errands. And  when I was looking around CVS I saw one of the most awesome things in awhile! Now, mind you I don't get out much. But I found twisties (Aka hair bands) that were this awesome rubber material. Like, unlike the usual fabric covered over elastic. They were rubber! And these babies must be so new that they aren't even on the Scunci website yet! But I would totally check them out. Totally awe inspiring... Not to mention that their website is amazing! It has a spy theme.. I mean, wow!

Okay, well I suppose that's it for now!

Sick and tired!

Woke up at two in the morning with stomach flu-like symptoms. Apparently mom and Hannah did too. And seriously, I would write more. But I'm not feeling too hot right now. Will write a more productive post tomorrow.

Eleanor the smarty pony

Woohoo Eleanor is a brilliant little mare. I worked on (Yes, lists help me think things through..)

1. Friendly game
2. Porcupine (Backing, zone 2, zone 4)
3. Driving (zone 1, zone 2, zone 4)
4. Leading
5. Walking over a white feed sack thingy, and tying it to the end of the stick and waving it around.

She was totally okay with it! It was amazing... Tomorrow we're going to play with a saddle, some other random toys and probably some yo-yo game and some driving to stuff.

Jo was super nice today and gave me a parelli puzzles book. So I will now be completely entertained!

Well I suppose my goals for her by the end of next year is:

• At least level 2, if not into three on the ground.
• Take to a Parelli clinic (Level 3?)
• Level 1 riding?

That's all I can think of right now. All I know is that this is my chance to test my knowledge. And to have a semi SANE horse to do it on! I swear Big Boy is ADD, ADHD, and Bipolar all in one...

The glitter nail polish got to me-

 Between the sleepover, and the pink glittery nail polish... My girly self is coming out. I absolutely love the hair in these pics. And basically, this is my hair style.

^^I have no idea why, but I love this picture! Who ever takes a picture of the photographer?!

I will write something worth writing about when there's something to write about :)

Zip

Wow, no words can describe what happened today... Mainly because nothing happened.

We had a sleepover last night with our friends Danielle, Hannah, and Shantia. Which was pretty much amazingly fun, we worked on making some flags for church :)

We were going to go to a family reunion tomorrow, but now we're not, but we'll probably end up going anyway. Or not. Who knows, that's how we roll.

I got to drive Laureen by myself too! I felt like such a rookie :) But i'm learning little by little.

Wow. I have nothing to write about. So I guess i'll add some random pictures again.

I'll take this horse...

 And this one...

Okay, enough pointless banter.

Just another day at work

Whew, what a life. We took miss Loreen out for a drive, which was pretty amazingly fun! She did great for not having been driving for months.

These pictures turned out pretty good... Imagine what I could do with a NICE camrea.. Anyone want to donate one to worthy blogger?

Well, I would totally write more.. But I am running short on time, so I will write more tomorrow!

"I found the source of the mysterious ticking noise! It's a pipe bomb!"

This is my bubby Tommy, and his daughter/my niece Olivia! I think I see a resemblance...

Again, I got to ride Loreen! That was interesting... We went up this CRAZY steep hill, and at the top there was a huge clearing.. I mean a good 15 acres of rolling hills. Amazingly beautiful. I am going to have to take a camera next time. But maaan, it was amazing! And She kept tripping. Like at one point, she tripped so bad she was on her knees. Jo said it was a "Seat tester" that if you can ride through that, you have a good seat. So I guess I'm good to go!

I worked with Eleanor today! We worked on the first three Parelli games. Well, the only new one we introduced was the driving game. And I think she got the basic gist of it. But I'm not entirely sure.. She just sort of looked at me like I beat her. So IDK.

For you horsey people who possibly read this.. Check this out. It is called "Horsenality" Basically finding out what Horsenality your horse has to help you in training. For instance, Big boy is a Left Brain Extrovert. And knowing that, tells me that he is playfull, gets bored easily, he's a fast learner, very smart, and is quite exuberant! So I have to do training sessions basically to entertain him, while teaching him something. So check it out! Horsenality Chart (pdf file). For more info, go to the Parelli website!
