seeing filly - 1 30

Hey guys. Well, that's assuming anyone reads this. I got my first comment the other day, and thanks very much! Comments keep me writing, assuming that people will read my words and appreciate the confused feelings I have right now (especially with sexuality. But you really might not want to know that 0-o).

Anyway, Bonnie came over last night - it was fun. We watched a movie, and played and stuff - but that's not why I'm writing. (Although, it's fun to brag about your trainer being your friend, who you can poke fun at all the time, but still teaches you how to ride in a great way. Yeah. Be envious.) I have a lesson every Wednesday. Normally, Bonnie's mom, Laura, picks me up after her work (4 00) and I ride when Bonnie gets off the bus. However, because of Xmas vacation, I get to ride earlier in the day. Not riding by dark is awesome, let me tell you! *laughs* (Note: This is safe. She has a huge ring light that lights up half the ring, so we only use that half, and we don't jump when it gets too dark.)

But I'm getting sidetracked. Now I'm being taken to the Barn by my mom, and I get around 3 min visiting time with the filly (see last post). Which isn't much, but hey! It's better than nothing. Barely.
I have to do school before I can go to the barn; I have to finish an assignment by 1 30. It's 11 37 as I'm writing this - and I haven't worked yet. God. I hate how distracted I can be. After this, though, I'm working on it. Wish me luck. Cross your fingers - but only the ones on your right hand! (It's bad luck to do both, or the ones on your left hand.)

The filly and I haven't made much progress so far this month. I've only seen her a couple of times - which would actually be great, only, like I said, it's for hardly any time at all, and she's normally got her hay at that time, anyway.
I'm hoping all of the trust I've built up hasn't been blown away by the lack of time we've spent together. And, I don't get to see her for the show until the 18th - the show got delayed to that weekend. More time I can't see her. But, I am quitting gymnastics soon. I'm hoping to be able to go to the barn every Thursday morning - when no one but Jen is there - to see the filly for a 1/2 hour to an hour. I think it'll make a big difference.

On a random note, I got a Nintendo DS for Christmas. I bought Nintendogs with my own money - but not Horsez. It would be too disappointing when I can't enjoy it because I'm too concerned about the real thing. I know, I know. I'm a drama queen. I love it. So get over it, or click that big X up there by the corner of your screen. You know what I mean (;

11 43. I don't have much time for a 3hr assignment before 1 00. Whoops! Well, I guess I'd better shove off, then. (: I'll blog again tomorrow / maybe later today (the former is more likely).

To any Sunshine River membs. who read this: Thank you for reading my blog! I'd love it if you kept checking back here. -Withers

That's life at the barn.
