I woke up last night from a nightmare that took a while to shake, to convince myself it was a dream and not a memory ( Read more... )

I love classic cars. Not that I can afford one, but I do so love them. There is a beauty to a well cared for classic car that just makes me smile. Today I passed a small classic car show on my way back from my little trail run, and I had to stop. Hungry as I was, I wanted a few moments to walk around and just gaze at these beautiful gems ( Read more... )

So, I finally made it back to an event I'd pre-registered for. The Four Bridges half marathon. I half trained for it, feeling a sense of doom that somehow I'd wind up unable to make it anyway. As time grew closer though, I began to half hope. Despite travel getting in the way and making real final preparations impossible, I took precautions. I ( Read more... )

The past few weeks I've not had a lot of time for barn visits. While I miss my horse, when I get there I don't get the sense that he misses me all that much, and some days it's almost a relief to not be heading out there. Of course, it does mean more time I'm sitting at a computer gaining weight, and I don't like THAT much either ( Read more... )

I find myself on here less and less as more of my connections abandon the place and the draw of facebook keeps me. I never seem to go into detail there though, and at one time at least I did here ( Read more... )

So, it's a minor thing really, but it keeps bugging in my head. When I left for vacation, there was a small, marbled angelfish in my aquarium. Upon return, I have seen no sign of said angelfish. Not even a piece of a carcass. The house sitter said he found no dead fish while there, but I doubt he looked very close. Still, you'd think I'd at ( Read more... )

So, I had a date last night. I had one, but he cancelled it in the morning, he'd had a migraine for two nights previous that was still on him, and he was going to the doctor to get checked ( Read more... )

It's been raining for days and days. My world has turned into a rain forest, a bog, the animals and I are all completely over it. My latest barn visit proved an arena too soupy to work in, and pastures too slick for the horses to be out in. One pasture is currently on rotation, the one with the least slope, lest a horse get hurt from lost ( Read more... )

This morning I took the dogs up to Raccoon for some trail running goodness. The air is fairly cool after the rains last night, so I figured we could get some good running in. All was going well, till about halfway when my SPOT fell out of it's pocket. I picked it up, grumbled and stuck it back in, and then turned back. I had X amount of time I ( Read more... )

I am having a ton of trouble with even the idea of reducing my glycemic index. I love sweeter foods. I love strawberries and bananas and apples. I love most fruit, actually. One thing that the online food diary I'm using of late does though, is count sugars, and almost daily I go over the "allotment" I'm supposed to have. Even when I'm eating ( Read more... )
