I am very, very excited to share my brand new barn plans! WOOOOOO!! My mother came out to take some measurements of the existing barn, and based on my vague description of what I would like, has come up with a plan that brings everything together. Behold! The overall layout: One o[...]
My fall is getting more and more packed. I think this may end up being one of the busiest falls I've ever had. But, that's totally fine, it finally feels like I'm a full blown adult, planning out my life months in advance. Who knew that eventually that would happen?! So, here are some awesome hig[...]
I read an article a few months ago, Is My Relationship with My Trainer Normal? It annoyed me greatly at the time, and I thought about it again recently as I've been searching for a new trainer, and customer service has been on my mind a lot. To me, this article basically amounts to a traine[...]
I took a talent assessment test a few months ago through my work. It was to identify my skills so I could best leverage them at work. My strongest skill was "Futuristic." I'm a planner. I think ahead. I can't just think of what the next step is, I need to think of what the next 5 steps are. [...]
I rarely get my hair done because I don't like sitting in a chair for many hours upon hours, and also having to pay at the end. My hair gets pretty long between appointments (usually hiding split ends fairly well). My approaching travel triggered an urge to get it done. I work in a fairly casual[...]
Another successful weekend of clearing! Progress is becoming more and more apparent, and it is looking like a turn out space, instead of a mess of scrubby trees. We (the amazing team that I can't believe is actually showing up to do this) cleared out a huge dead tree that had fallen, three scrubby h[...]
Yet another "In Memory of" post... my trailer has died. It is now in the trailer graveyard at the repair shop. Technically, I could perform CPR on it, and revive it. But the cost of doing so is the same as the price I initially paid for it... so I'm not feeling an overwhelming urge to bring it ba[...]
Sunday was a big day for cleaning out more woods. We cut down more trees, and disposed of the trees we cut down. D'Arcy had recruited some family members and we became a well oiled machine, cutting down, and dragging out to the fire her brother had built. The fire was huge! It had been built[...]
So basically, Sharpie is all I have on my mind these days. Even as I'm scratching Pony, all I can think is, Wow, Pony, you sure are fatter than Sharpie. And he is. And he's going to be getting the muzzle of shame because he's gotten so fat. Seriously, that Pony needs to be on a diet. But that's anot[...]
Now that I've picked the horse, I need to have room for it and D'Arcy's foal. It's finally time to clear our some more acreage on my farm. (Really, it was time ages ago, but this is good motivation to get moving.) Dave ripped something in his arm, so he was unable to cut down trees. That mean[...]
