A lot of odd random little things

Reading Boots and Saddles always makes me feel like I should be more in depth with my posts rather then just going on about how my week was. I write on a very shallow basis, I don’t delve deep into what happened and why. I take things as they come and generally accept how things are. I tend not to question the way things are done if there is nothing I can do about. And yet  I question athority at every oppertunity. If I don’t like the way something is done I will say something. But I am not going to ruin the rest of  the day because of one little thing that bothered me. I easily let go of things. Probably because I don’t settle down to one thing indeffinatly, and yet I also hate change.

Confusing huh? Example: I love living at home, its beautiful and a wonderful place to live. I don’t want to move away despite wanting to have a house of my own with my boyfriend. So I hate that possible change.

But I get bored with things so quickly that I get bored with what I am eating before I am even done. I can eat half a meal, not be able to finish because I am full of that perticulare food, then go on to eat something entirely different 10 minutes later.

Some with horses, I get really into endurance, then eventing, then driving, then I go back round again!

Luckly for my boyfriend, I do not get easily bored of him!!

 

 

Does a lot of who we are come from our family? Are there types of familys? Like musical families, fashion families, farming families?

I come from a athletic family. Most of us played sports, and were good at it. I am the only one that still is into a sport really.We are also a liberal family, that believes very stongly in women can do anything. Very importaint for a family with three daughters and one son!! The girls in my family are very strong, and independent and well, kinda scary! We do not appreciate men doing things for us. If we want it done, we will do it ourselves!

My family is very mom and pops, small bussines orianated. My father owns two small business, both of which I work for for him. My closest sister owns her own business, my oldest sister works for a small business and my brother also works for my dads business. We try to shop and eat at small family owned shops.

 

Ok I am getting bored of being philisophical!

 

The first gelding I was looking at sold. So I guess  that would be why I never heard back from her.

I talked with the other geldings owner. She is very happy with the prospect of me owning him. She is willing to be flexible on his price and payments for me, as well as his trial. She really wanted me to know that he is a very forward horse and really likes to canter, not trot. We talked about ways to help him slow down and conserve his energy. I think she was pleased that I had some ideas and wasn’t just put off by his energy. She was also happy that I wanted to work with him in the arena to help him and that I do a lot of ground work. She thinks I should take him when I come to try him so I can have a long trial period with him.

I am very excited!

 

I’m making a video for Kezi today (provided I have the time). I’ll post it tomorrow or Thursday. Not sure if I am coming to town at all tomorrow.

Hopefully my posts will be a lot more exciting soon!! And not so sad.

thank you for posting an update!!!!

I'm excited by everything you ahve coming up. And switching back and forth is fine! I think I'm not happy unless I'm trying to juggle 2-3 disciplines at once. Mental stimulation is such a good thing.

I'm glad to hear that you let things go - I think we are going to get along well! I live in the present (and somewhat in the future), but I definatley don't dwell on the past. What's done is done, time to move on. I'm always shocked when in an argument someone will bring up the past. Something like this

Him: I'm always right
Me: No you aren't
Him: when was the last time I did something I was wrong about?

And for the life I me I won't be able to remember!!!!!!!! I'm too busy looking forward to remember what he did last week and was wrong about!!!!!

I think this trait really helps when it comes with horses. Since I cna't remember what naughty thing they did a week ago, I don't hold it against them.

I think why I write so "in-depth" posts is it's really hard for me to write about what has alreayd happeend - I've moved past it and I'm looking ahead. Much funner for me is to write about what is GOING to happen! :) when I write a story on my blog I have to really get into it and be living IN the story as I write it or it comes off dry and pointless.

Sorry this is so long! Keep us posted.

Haha! I'm glad you think so! It drives my boyfriend up the wall when I suddenly decide I want to do eventing for a while, then change right back to endurance!
It looks like I am going to go see this gelding this weekend or early next week. The owner would like me to have as much time as possible to try him out, so she thinks it would be best if I took him home then so I can have him on a three week trial. Then I will have had him a bit longer before our ride!
We are in for at least one more very sad post (Kezi's farewell post) then hopefully on to new more exciting things with this new guy!
