I was in a drive-thru before work one day and the person ahead of me paid for both my sandwich and my drink. I cried a little bit, I couldn't believe it happened to me!
I still haven't managed to do the same for someone else yet, but I'm happy to do it here to start!

I just wanted to share that I joined a fitness (club?); planet fitness. I've already been twice. The first time I ran a half mile in over 6 minutes and I could hardly breathe at the end. But yah know... Gotta start somewhere. I was never very fast running. But even in middle school I always ran EXACTLY 9 minute and 56 second miles. Every time.

I can do straws/ and eggs. 15552

I'm so sick of fozen poop, frozen water lines and carting water around in my truck. Ugh winter with horses.

I can take eggs and straws. 31898

I'll go again!

I got to ride a saddlebred stallion today! He was so cool. Another archery comp tomorrow.

I can do straws and embryos

Been so cold here for over a week, cant do my laundry for fear of sewer back up. Not sure if that's bragging or complaining lol :)

HTRanch - I put a w10 colt for you in my private chat :) enjoy!

id#21047 a straw would be nice.

@BlueValley I'm in BC and we have ants like crazy as well. We can't seem to get rid of them.

Me too. We have tried every kind of trap and poison we can find. They seems to go away for a short time, then they come back 10x worse.

Oh y’all! Ants are the worst! We’ve been having major heat and drought conditions here so they come into the house to get to water. There is a constant stream of them on the bathroom wall where they’ve gotten into the cistern of the toilet, which I can handle, but now they’re in the toilet bowl too——NASTY! We think there is a nest in the wall/roof because the overhanging tree hasn’t been properly maintained and is now resting branches all over the roof. Thank god our landlord is finally going to have that dealt with sometime soon....

And then this morning I went to make myself a coffee and they were on my coffee machine! So I get to take that apart this morning and try to clean them out before I go to work. Ant-y Coffee is NOT on my list of delicacies! Blah!

But, given the disasters up north here and the fires down in Tassie, I’m grateful all I have to complain about is ants...

3790 eggs and straws (would love BS straws or show ponies)

Bit of a brag, I’m so thrilled over this little lady! She will be perfect for getting more satin and W8 into the bootstrap herd! And the PT is nothing to sneeze at either

42413 I can do eggs and straws, would love bootstrap straws!

Today we had a huge snowstorm! I counted four cars in the ditch on the 20 minute drive to work and the rest of my clients got cancelled halfway through the day. It was nice to be able to get other work done... but the weather has been cancelling my sessions left and right and I need the money! But on a good note, I was able to pick up an extra shift in a few weeks.

43830, I can do straws but not eggs.

I'm so sorry to hear that! But I'm sure that she still cares about about, and knows that it was a temporary disagreement. I'll be thinking positive thoughts towards her.

Speaking of disagreements I was at my Dad's house yesterday morning and Saturday, and there was some severe drama/miscommunications so Mom called me right before school yesterday and made me VERY upset. And anyway I went to wait in the horsemanship teacher's classroom, and managed to keep it cool, and for someone reason realizing not having my coffee made me get pushed over the edge, and I just completely broke down crying. Great.... He said to go collect myself, then he'd write me a pass for 1st hour (which was just a TA hour anyway). Which I took the entire hour to get collected, so I never got the pass so my school called home to my parents that I was absent... Oops. But thankfully Mr. Soto emailed my first hour teacher for me, so I don't think that there'll be a permanent mark. I am so grateful to have Mr. Soto. I don't know what's wrong with me. My grandma died a few years back, and I never cried, but my Mom getting frustrated at me for 30 seconds will make me break down crying now? I don't understand. But I feel better now; I got to ride Viper a saddlebred stallion again. I might get to go show him soon! Under APHA "youth" is still "18+ under", so I'm technically 18 for the rest of the year. But am still a youth. I know most allow showing stallions at 18... So I don't know if APHA would let me show a stallion. And I REALLY don't know what the saddlebred rules are... (Although Arizona Clydesdale club let me show a stallion at 10 years old.....) Anyways, I'm off on a tanget and babbling.

Straws and Eggs. I always appreciate "unique" embryos. But I'm not going to be picky.

P.s. Hollowbetheink

Turns out I don't have straws pulled yet from the stallion I wanted to get you some from. So I'll have to wait until show bonus tomorrow.

Despite not getting many hours at work and having so much time to study my course material, I'm having some trouble working on it. The modules are a lot more intense this semester for some reason and it's a lot of material to cover in a week (I write a unit exam every Friday, I'm finding it tough to keep up).

I love it, though. I'm really excited for my on-campus practicum in March!

Eggs, straws, embryos good.

Had a beautiful day and beautiful ride. We think my lease horse pulled a muscle in the field last week so we're still taking it light trying to keep him stretched out and loose, but this it was so beautiful out and we kept chasing a pair of bluebirds around the ring. It's nice to have a peaceful laid back morning every know and then.

straws, no eggs.

I really, really, really want to get into driving horses. I binge Barry Hook videos on Youtube like you would not believe. Unfortunately, I do not have the funds to get into it and the driving community here isn't as profound as the riding community.
I want to train my mare to drive, but I a.) don't know how to drive, so how do I train a horse to drive? :-? and b.) don't have any equipment for it. I'm sure it's going to be a matter of save-save-save-spend.

I can take eggs or straws.

We have had tons and tons of snow here! The college even called a two hour delay.

I got to go to the Scottsdale Arabian horseshow on Friday with my friend Ronni. Ronni used to be BF's with my Mom. But its been kinda awkward the last few years.... Drama including us hanging out with my trainer Carla instead of her, and her hanging out with Lynne with the saddlebreds. And of course she was our landlord for 8 years.... But she offered to take me, and I jumped on the chance. We ran into Carla which was kinda weird.... I probably would have preferred to go with Carla, but she didn't offer. So oh-well.

Then I cleaned pens for Carla on Sunday for like 6 hours. Boy I was so sore. But then she gave me money, which was exciting. I think I was surprised and forgot to say Thank you. Oops. But then she's like "well it was hanging out in my pocket. But I still have to calculate up your bill from the last show." Sooo....

But Mom and her BF are gone to Las Vegas for a vet conference. So I am taking care of the BF's horses. Which means I don't have to go to Dad's house either. So being away from all of my parents has been fabulous for mental health. Although I don't get to ride at all this week. I am particularly missing an old horse of mine that I sold a year ago. Actually more than horse I have leased out.... As much as my current horse is my "dream" horse, she cost lots of money so when Mom was in financial trouble we had to lease her out. But if we had kept Chrome we would be able to keep him. So I'm a little blue about that. But Chrome is in a good home. And eventually the financial situation will get better, and I will have a gorgeos show horse. (hopefully)

Here is him as a 2YO when I first got him (horse in center). Horse on left is a yearling....
