My Saturday Night Date
I had a Saturday night date tonight with a hoofpick, manure fork, and paintbrush. Gotta love Saturdays! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn't able to ride as planned this morning. Bu it all worked out - I rode tonight around 8:30pm and a good friend from out of town stopped by and took Taylor for a spin. It's always a lot of fun to see someone else (especially someone who is a good rider) put Taylor through her paces. I rarely get the opportunity to stand on the ground and watch her go. She is such a cool horse!
At 9:30pm I cleaned out Corky and Taylor's stalls again. Then I headed home and parked myself in front of the TV for a little Law and Order and painting. I am still working feverishly on that large order due at the end of the month.
All in all, a pretty decent Saturday night. Kevin is with the girls babysitting his nephew, and Cody is at his homecoming dance. I sit here at my computer and think longingly of the days when I dated...I mean actually dated - went out to dinner, movies, dancing, etc. What heppend to those days? We are so ultra-involved in our miscellaneous lives that we sometimes lose the very activity that brought our lives together. It's time to make time! Sure wish I could manufacture a few more hours in the day.
Not that I am counting or anything, but two weeks from today is that dreaded (and anticipated) equitation class. This is it...CRUNCH TIME!!!!
