Aahhhh, TurnLane, my saddle loving buddy!  I always look forward to your texts because I know they're going to make me drool!  HAHA  I have certainly enjoyed getting to know you a little bit as well, hope to continue to get to know you and meet you in person one day.  :)  

Maybe you and I should meet at a barrel race this fall too.  It would be fun to hang out and talk about saddles, horses, feeds and feeding and whatever other issues come up and just be that support system for each other.  Not only was Rome not built in a day.....nor was it built by a single Roman....so we all have to stick together and keep building, my Roman buddies!  While I have certainly been guilty at many points of being overly critical of others and of myself, neither of which i'm proud of, but i'm learning that the only person I need to impress is me and that what others choose to do is their business and out of my control.  TurnLane, I know how devastating that must've been, but look at it this way, at least they're talking about a worthy subject.....YOU!  :)  If you were insignificant, you wouldn't be a topic......take it as a compliment and let's go have ourselves a good time! 

Funny story, I found this super cool royal blue matte helmet yesterday and sent the link to my husband that I thought I might buy it.  He's not a horsey guy, but instead a sports guy, so he brings a completely different point of view and thought process to my training and conditioning program.....insignificant side note....anyway, he said that he was going to put a sticker on the back of it that said "if you ain't first, you're last" (ps....my horse's name is Ricky).  I have a helmet now but nearly had a heat stroke in it last year about this time and got out of the habit of wearing it.  :(  I know, bad me.  So I told hubby, NO WAY, we don't need that kind of attention, heck we're more like the Ricky Bobby who is creeping around the race track with all the Nascars buzzing by him and yelling obscenities out the window!  He laughed and said he was proud of me and Ricky and that we were really doing good and had come a long way in a short time based on all the set backs we'd had with the sickness, etc.  So I said, and I quote myself, "I've looked the Cougar in the eye, and am now learning to drive with him in the car!" HAHAHA (Sure hope ya'll have seen Talladega Nights or you will be like HUH???)  So that is the new slogan around the house when someone asks how a tough project is going.....I've looked the Cougar in the eye, now i'm learning to drive with him in the car!  Before you know it, we'll be driving (riding) it like we stole it.....so folks better keep their head on a swivel when it comes to us because we're gonna slip up in there before long and get some of that money! 

 

Funny funny!!!!

You bet it does.  When you start waking up with aches that were not there when you went to bed you realize that you are not invincible and reasonable precautions are necessary to safeguard your health as long as possible.
