Well, we’d all be riding! So far so good with the wonder horse. You’ll have to forgive me if for the next little while this becomes more of a horse blog than anything else. I’m tempted to start another one, dedicated to Bailey and his training progress and just basically how fracking awesome all this new horse ownership stuff is, but I’m afraid it would eventually decline as did my tomato blog. Or else I would write very little here, and spend what little writing time on Bailey’s Blog. Hmm, Sarah, you even gave me a good name for it. I’ll have to see if it’s taken….Well, what do you know? New blog, Backing Bailey. I’ll write all my horsey stuff there, and save this for the rest of life.
So, ….here I go again. TGIF. Really. I’m so looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. It’s been a long week, sleep deprivation wise. I’ve been reading till way too late at night, and waking up so tired and very reluctantly, but new books+new horse= must read as much as possible to train this baby right. Really liking the clicker book, it’s funny cause I’ve already been doing that kind of thing, but not with a clicker, rather with my voice and carrots. It really does work, I gotta say. But back to sleep. I need more of it. I really need to make myself go to bed on time. If I don’t get at least 7 1/2 to 8 hours, I’m just not a fully functional human being.
As much as I love my husband, I’m so glad I have the bed to myself this weekend! His semi-annual-gaming-weekend-with-buddies-in-Hamilton is taking place. So it’s girls weekend at my house. The girls both have parties tomorrow, I have a feeling I won’t be getting as much done as I was hoping to on Tornado-hit-my-house-oh-wait-we-are-just-messy-people Street. But we’ll see.
We’ve planned a chinese food pig out for tomorrow night. Eggrolls, fried rice, chicken balls, shrimp and noodles, yum! The girls are gonna help me make dinner (or so is the plan) and we are gonna watch a chick flick under cozy blankets, complete with popcorn and chocolate. Doesn’t it sound fun? Reminds me of ‘Treat Night’ as a child, when we would walk to the corner store with Mom and spend our dollar on whatever candy we wanted, come home and watch ‘The Love Boat’ and ‘Fantasy Island’. Dad was playing in the band, so it was girls’ night almost every Friday and Saturday night. Dating myself with those tv shows, but I loved it!
