Busy

I've been busy lately, so it's nice to be able to sit down and just type for a while. (That's your que to run if you don't like reading long posts). I got the chance to watch the Grammy's, and it was great! But Rihanna's performance, "Stay", was speechless. It was beautiful in every was possible. Taylor Swift was my 2nd favorite, and Ed Sheran with Elton John was also pretty neat because I am a huge Elton John fan. So glad I got to catch those parts of the Grammy's! My trainer is on vacation, so I haven't been riding for a few days. I will probably ride tomorrow, but two of our dogs had puppies, so I might not be able to make it. I am questioning whether or not I am really ready to show in a few months. I mean, if my trainer doesn't think that I am ready, then I won't do it. Because I really just want to make her proud. She is my whole world, and more than anything, I just want to make her proud of me. I just don't know how...

I opened up a new RPG that is going to be freaking epic! Someone is crushing on my character, and I prefer that they wouldn't, but hey, I'll get it figured out. I have been crazy with the piano covers lately! Okay, fine. I admit that I only did one. But I am getting ready to crank out Someone like you by Adele and Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin. Look out for new ones!

Peace out!

She's my kind of rain

All right, so I have to admit. I am a huge Tim McGraw fan. I really hope to do a solo of his song, "My kind of rain" on piano. I think it is a beautiful song, and many people (both men, and women) can relate to it. I know I can, for sure! :) Two of our (Hoosier doodles) females are going to have puppies within the week, so be prepared for a cuteness attack! They are Labradoodles, and Goldendoodles. And let me tell you, they are adorable when they are born! They are so tiny that they just fit in the palm of your hand, and they squeal like little piglets. Oh it's just deadly adorable. <3

I went riding yesterday, and it went pretty well. I found out that I am doing a lesson with a trainer that is a really good dressage and hunter jumper trainer. Exciting! We'll see how that goes though... I am kind of nervous to tell you the truth!

New camera

Today, I took my new camera (the one I got for Christmas) for a spin. It really works great, and I am super happy with it! One thing though, it SUCKS in the cold. I didn't take any winter pictures outside this year at all, because it can't handle anything below 40 degrees. But in the summer, it should work amazingly. Oh well, we'll see how it all goes. I went riding today, and rode all over the place. Jumped like, twice, and did some dressage work. I really need to work on my jumping, and on my dressage. But I am more concerned about my jumping. :( 

Peace out!

Boot camp time

I have decided that if I want to be a great rider, I need to be in perfect shape. There fore, no more snacks, and I am walking/jogging 2-3 miles a day, starting yesterday. Cutting back on candy, and drinking 8 glasses of water and 1-2 cups of milk a day. I should loose 2 pounds a week. I'm not saying that I'm fat, it's just that I want to be a little thinner, so I can post better, jump better, look better in my saddle, etc. So there you have it. My health update for the day! I am getting caught up in school, so that is a good thing. I can't wait for summer time! Summer is my all time favorite season. (And its awesome that it is the longest season!) I am now starting up piano lessons again, so that will be keeping me quite busy.

Peace out!

I'm so lucky

I've really been thinking about how lucky I am to know fantastic people like the ones that are in my life. I mean, without them, I wouldn't be where I am now. I might not show it, but I am truly greatful for the people who I am so honored to be friends with. They are all so special to me, and I can't imagine life without them! Thank you everyone, for putting up with my annoying, crazy ways.

Animal sanctuary...

I now know what I want to do down the road, when I am really successful and have a bunch of money that I can rely on. I want to start an animal sanctuary, where anyone can drop any kind of unwanted animal, and I can try to rehome it. If it can't be rehomed, then it can stay at the sanctuary until the end of its days, or until it finds a home. It would be so awesome to go on rescue missions, and be able to rehabilitate all kinds of animals, but mostly small animals, horses, farm animals, dogs, and cats. (If I came across a zebra, I swear I would take it in a heartbeat)  It would have barns, pastures with shelter, and lots of paddocks with shelter. I would also have a few employees maybe, and some adoption events. I hope that this can happen!

Warm and toasty!

NOT! I am the complete opposite of warm and toasty, thank you very much. Yesterday, I rode when it was 19 degrees. Not to bad actually, but I got wind burn from trotting so much, jumping, and cantering. Not to mention Red was a little spookier than usual, and I almost crashed into another rider when I was cantering. Thankfully, the other rider was much more experienced than I am, and she would never let anyone crash with her. I cannot put I words how much my fellow riders mean to me! :)
