BUSY BUSY BUSY

Well, sorry for not posting at ALL since April. But so much has been happening. Much of which I will not tell the general public of the internet. I will simply tell you the current news, to keep it simple.

I've graduated! I'm officially a freshman now, which I must say is actually pretty cool. Just knowing that, yeah, I'm in high school now, changes everything. Well, not everything. But most everything. Ahh, the pleasures of summer.

Speaking of summer pleasures, the first day of summer, I got sick. I still am sick, as a matter of fact, as thursday was graduation. And now if you have read this far, I'm afraid I must ask you to look away from your screen, for the description of this nasty sickness is not pleasant in any way. My ears feel like there are earwigs of fire burrowing through my ear canals. EEWW. And every time I swallow, I feel like I'm trying to swallow a tonsil. Not pleasant.

And you may now return to your screen.

*sigh*, what's wrong with me?

Well, the horse I like is still for sale, but I have found another horse that I like a lot, and now I'm in a bit of a turmoil. You see, even though this gorgeous young mare does not at all look pregnant in these pictures, she is. Pregnant. Anyway, this is just wonderful. 2 for the price of 1!! So even though this mare, of whom nobody knows if she is trained or not, is at the top of our price range at $700, it's a really good deal. She's due in the fall, so this is probably why she isn't plump yet. This is fantastic. A foal! WOW. What fun! And did I mention how absolutely stunning this horse is? Well, you can probably see that for yourself.

Still, nobody knows if she is trained or not, and I guess the owners don't have the time to check. And I want to get into jumping, and there is nothing on the website about her being a jumper. So I just don't know if she is better than a cheaper, well trained horse that can jump, like my other favorite, Riley O'Connor. I don't even know this mare's name, but that's probably a good thing, because all my favorite horses have the weirdest names.

But seriously, what's wrong with me? Why can't I just pick one favorite and actually BUY it? *sigh*

Well ta ta for now!

oh and if you want to see the pictures without them being cut off, go to www.lewisranch.com and click on the for sale section. She's the first one listed.

I'm sooo hooked

WOOT I am sooo hooked, Larissa and Andrea!!! Kyler you probably do not care in the least!!!

I.
Went.
Thrift.
Shopping.

For like the first time ever! I mean Crossroads is great, like obscenely great, but it's not exactly a thrift store. I've never realized how absolutely great the feeling of holding a 12 dollar Abercrombie and Fitch jacket vest is before now. *insert angel choir singing "hallelujah"*

Of course Shelby had to take the jacket vest. O well, probably looks better on her anyway.

But I did get a 3 dollar belt of way coolness, and some awesome victorian ish retro ish shoes of pure awesome, so I'm happy.

HALLELUJAH!!!!

*whew*

Well, the horse I like is still for sale...this is a good sign. Or at least, the ad's still up, which doesn't necessarily mean it's still for sale...

Anyway, just relieved about that. For another subject, I'm going to go to Philip's talent show soon, which is...cool? I'm not really sure as I've never been to a talent show before. Don't freak out, I know what goes on in talent shows (although the way I just worded that made it sound like something bad goes on at talent shows...), so I'm not completely deprived, you know, of...talent show...ness...anyhow, Philip is composing a song on the stage, which no doubt has to be interesting. The only other thing I know about it is that there will be a comedy routine as well, done by some other guy. Well. This will be fun.

My Spring Break is almost over, and I feel a distinct lack of satisfaction. I did accomplish my goal of doing nothing, although yesterday I painted a...painting. (what else would I paint?) But now I wish this had not been my ultimate goal, because of the UTTER BOREDOM I have felt over this week. It makes me want to break 57 pencils in half with my bare hands. Hmmmm...that is a terrible idea...hhhmmmmmm....I should definitely try that!! Yea!!!!!

Ridiculous Superstition

I have come to the realization that keeping things from the internet, such as not posting anything about any available equines, is just a ridiculous superstition. You see, every time I post something I want up here - houses, horses, and the like - They are sold quite quickly and we don't get the chance to try for them. But this is all a matter of chance. It would've happened even if I didn't post about it. Soooo - here is my new target.

As you can see, the horse pictured above is gorgeous. Simply fantastic. He is pictured during different points of his training - desensitizing, riding, and leading. Actually, to be exact, he has never been ridden, only sat on. He has been led with a mannequin on his back, and has had people sit on him, but no actual riding. Which is more spectacular than you might think, at least for me, anyway. You see, to keep my interest in riding, for me I need to feel sort of obligated to do it. With this horse, I would need to ride to finish his training. He naturally jumps 4 feet easily, which is really good considering he was never trained particularly for jumping. He is like Theodore O'Connor, he is the same size, and jumps very well. 14.1 hands high, the perfect height. He is a mustang with a whole lot of Spanish influence, as you can tell by the pictures. It's obvious. His ad says he can canter at the pace of a normal horse's walk! This shows great collection, and also he has a nice smooth gait, something my current horse is definitely lacking in.

Now for the price...only $500!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? Unheard of amazing. His name is Riley O'Connor, obviously named for his role model, Teddy O'Connor. I guess it's an OK name. Better than Elmer.

Everybody, keep your fingers crossed for me, that this post doesn't ruin my chances of getting him...bye now!

*sigh* Sorry about the horse's head that is cut off in the one picture...not literally cut off of course...Just, sorry, I couldn't fix it...

*audible sigh*

At last, the wonders of spring break...short enough so you don't completely forget everything about schoolwork, but long enough to be thoroughly enjoyable. So far I have managed to do absolutely nothing, which, of course, is my ultimate goal, although I did do quite a bit of tanning on Friday with my friends. This hardly counts as doing something, however, because tanning consists of laying around on a towel in a swimsuit, listening to music and pouring coca-cola on yourself as a sort of tanning solution. I'm not sure if that was effective or not, considering I also used A LOT of ordinary tanning oil, but whether it worked or not is really not the point. I've made my way through several books already, one of them really very big.

Anyhoo, I am NOT going to mention anything particularly wonderful that I have found, because it seems that every time I DO put something up on here about a certain obtainable equine, it is sold the next moment, or something ridiculous of that sort. So, this time, I am going to be quite certain not to give anyone any reason to think I have found the perfect, er, object, to buy. Because obviously I haven't. So.

To Alex, if you are reading this, as I so clearly advised, if this isn't entertaining enough, then go to Kyler's blog. It's much, much worse.

Anyway, to all you alls on vacation, isn't it so GREAT???? And to everyone else, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

PHOTOBOOTH

So, these are some pics from the photobooth at the creepy bowling place from last night. I am the girl (duh) the little guy is Mikey, And the smile that shows in, like, three of the pics is Philip. Nick was in the booth too, but somehow managed to not be in any of the pictures. Hmmm...

Anyhow, last night was interesting...first of all, my family went to Nick's house (I say Nick's house because I know him probably the best of their whole family) and ate dinner, then went bowling at like 1 something in the morning, then we went back to their house and watched a movie, left, got home at 1:50, went to bed at 2:00.

And it was not exactly super great because I was the only girl bowling in our little group, so I had the lowest score both times we played. And the place we were at was creepy, with a whole bunch of drunk people and, well, creepy stuff. Well anyhoo, hope you enjoy the pics, especially cuz they are the first pics of ME that I have put up here, so you all had BETTER like them.
