One More Day
-sigh- One more day until the weekend. Huzzah. I am so wiped. I don't want to do anything.
Today I went riding. Again. For the third time this week. -rolls over- It was hot, 'nuff said. But I'm not riding tomorrow, so that's a good thing. Tomorrow I'm going to lounge around and do NOTHING. Or everything. Depending on my mood.
I just came back from an eye appointment. Have I mentioned how much I despise eye drops? I hate them. I can't even see someone putting their contacts in (or taking them out) without tearing up. But I had to get them in both eyes. And it sucked. Now I can't see anything up close. At least now I get some new glasses. x3 Whoo! I hate mine. They're scratched up and dirty and old and yuck. I want new ones. But contacts would be too much, I think. Way too much.
Yesterday, we went up to see a horse. Her name was Spanish; but her show name was Holly's Silver Destiny or something like that. What kind of a name for a horse is Spanish? No, not like the name was in the language from Spain. I mean her name was "Spanish". Weird. I think Holly suited her much better. She's a cute little bay, very responsive and forward. I kinda liked her. But the barn that raised her and is selling her (they buy and sell horses on the side, as part of their business) was completely western. I mean, completely. So she's western. But she rides in an english bridle and an english saddle--she just neck reins better than she english-reins, and doesn't jump.
When I heard that, I was like 'uh-oh'. I jump. I jump in shows. I'm trying to get better and better and higher and higher so I can improve. If this horse is at square one, that takes me back to square one.
But mom was smitten, I could tell. And a moderately good price: $4800. Not bad, really, considering how good of a horse she is. No vices, no bad habits, very well-mannered. For a mare.
Owning a horse would be so awesome. Oh my god. I would have my own tack box. My own tack box. So I wouldn't have to keep lugging all my shit around. I would have a saddle rack, a bridle hook...I could decorate the outside of her stall with whatever the hell I wanted...
I guess I never thought about how cool actually HAVING a horse would be before now. Izzy's half mine, it's true, but it's not quiiiiite the same. Not quite.
Anyway, we have yet to tell Jan and Lex about her. I don't know how they're going to react. They're kinda weird, see... hopefully they won't be too put-off that we found a horse without their help. I think they like to be in on that kind of stuff. >.> Danggg.
Yeah, so Lex has to look at her and tell us if it's worth it to convert her to english and teach her to jump. If it's not worth it, I don't think we'll do it. But mom might be a little heartbroken.
Burn Notice is on tonight! =D WHOO!
And so is Jeremiah! Can I tell you, that show is enthralling. I seem to be attracted to all the shows with good intentions. Robin Hood, Avatar, In Plain Sight... they all have lame components to them (Jeremiah included) but I can't seem to stop watching. The plotlines are good! The characters are good! It's just the way they go about the story, I suppose... hrmm. Anyway, Jeremiah is very good. I like it a lot. Kurdy is my hero. <3 And I LOVE the relationship between Markus and Meghan. It reminds me of Ned and Chuck: two people who love each other, but can never touch. It makes you envision in your head what would happen if they COULD touch, which of course leaves all kinds of things to the imagination. (Such thoughts are reccommended to be avoided in the future. x3 Or sought after, depending.) And I think it's funny that exactly ONE episode after Kurdy kisses Elizabeth, he's already doing some serious hitting on some other women in another town. -gigglesnort- Gotta love that guy. Hope Elizabeth won't mind.
I also think it's a little strange how Elizabeth got over Simon's death so fast. But whatever.
I finished the next chapter of 'Never Good Enough'. Sent it off to my beta, Taffy. Hopefully she'll get it back soon so I can post it. I wasn't quite happy with how it went...I'm not quite sure why. I'm not even sure how I originally imagined it. It just seemed....bah. I don't know. Hopefully she'll give me some good, solid critique. That's what I like.
I still need to finish 'Despising Pity'. I have it all planned out in my head, I just need to DO it. I'll get that done tomorrow, with luck. Then I hope I can write a Jinx/KidFlash fic. I love that pairing. I also have a craving for some Markus/Meghan....hmmm. I can do that too.
I'm feeling shippy, anyway. Expect some romantic fluff.
