I have not posted in forever, and I keep not posting because I keep thinking, my first post in forever has to be *important*. But with that as my standard I'm never going to post ever again - the longer I wait the higher the threshold of importance will become ( Read more... )

Well, lucky for me he doesn't have a particularly long memory! Some horses never, ever forget - ten years later they go back and won't go anywhere near the scary geranium spot - but he's a typical warmblood: once it's over, he moves on, especially if he has something else to focus on, like his stomach. It's like - Hmm, better watch carefully in case the geranium moves again... Oh look - grass! Geranium - what geranium? Where? When? You must have me confused with some other horse...!! *g*

Which doesn't mean he won't spook at the petunias next time... :sigh: You just can never, ever predict - the huge tractor comes roaring and rumbling by and they don't even blink, but they see a funny shadow in the grass, or a butterfly and off they go. Their minds move in mysterious ways! :-)

And to you too! I just found...The Story under a pile of things on my desk. I kind of lost a bit of momentum - but it *is* moving along, if slowly. (Not that you have a problem with slowly *g*). So don't forget about B&D - it's all waiting there in the wings... ;-)

Good to hear from you, too! (KC told me you were going to email me about the stuff you left here a while back, but if you did I never got them. I was having big email problems for a while - everything legitimate getting dumped into spam - and perhaps they were a casualty of that... I think it's fixed now.)

(Nice icon!)

It's great to hear from you. :-D Your RL is very fulfilling. What an exciting show you had!

My Bodie is curled up on the sofa next to Sunshine.

Thanks, though I'm kind of hoping my next shows are less exciting! *g* The horses are very...consuming. And fulfilling. Though also a huge source of anxiety; they are such delicate creatures. It's nice having a Bodie - it kind of inserts a secret bit of fannishness into my horsey world!

My Bodie cannot, however, curl up on the sofa!! ;-)

Lovely to hear from you again, Jess. And congrats to you and Bodie for doing so well, despite malevolent geraniums!

lol! Well, your voice must be better than mine...no singing for me! *g* I'm leaving *tomorrow* for the hallowed halls, and I'm nervous as hell, oddly! *Twenty* years - OMFG. I'll update you on Sunday. *g*
