Hey peeps! I just finished making stir-fry chicken tacos, and I'm pooped! There's only so much work one kid can do while her brother lazes around doing nothing! (Okay, so maybe he grated the cheese...)  Oh, and I just ate it, and it was really good. Mmmmmm, chicken. And lettuce and ranch and cheese. And salsa if you please.                     

Well, what's up in the world? I have now found a horsey who neither bites other horseys nor is really lazy. She's great, and responsive too! Her name is Abby, and she's a really soft chestnut mare. If you've been on the forum lately, you'll have noticed my little Abby spaz I had earlier. Only thing I had to worry about was her really high withers *shudder*. Last horse I rode with high withers was Peepers, and he was a maniac. I had to put a teacosy-lookin' thing over his withers, it was so funny! Anyhow, back to my darling Abby. I had to make sure I used a saddle with a high pommel so as not to hurt her back. I also had to keep checking that there was adequate space between the stripey saddle pad (which @ Travis Hall we put on the bottom, under the fuzzy saddle pad) and her withers so as not to cut off the circulation (horses have really poor circulation there, and their spine is only an eighth of an inch from the skin on top).

Well, we (I mean I) found my adorable Mikey's black Kong. For those who didn't know, it was missing for a while and all we could find was his red one. Black is cooler.  Anyhow, so I was rooting around in his bin of munchies and toys and stuff, and WAAAAAAAAY down at the bottom , I found it. Funny, I was looking for his red cord with which I wanted to clip him to the tree outside rather than let him sleep all day.

More later..... I hope!
