I love my Bestie

So today was my first day back t school... NOT FUN.. not only because it's school but also because it was the first day i had to go back to school and not have anything to look forward to but getting home. Fun things such as seeing my best friend early when i wake up and then seeing my horse and horsie niece later. I would rather go to the barn any day rather than go to school but unfortunately it's kind of a necessity. Even when going to the barn isn't completely for fun but to work almost all the time i can look forward to spending time with my best friend.

She is always there when i need to talk or need somebody to pick on... when i have a really bad day she will just sit and let me ramble and complain. Have you ever had a day that is just plain crappy? I bet... and it's so bad that you just want to sit down in the middle of what your doing and cry and scream and curse the world. Yeah we've all had days like that and they suck. Then people pass you and ask if you are ok and you just want to yell something like DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M OK!! and they just keep staring at you. You just feel the need to pour out your troubles and frustrations.. well thats kinda what best friends are for. And if their really fantastic Best Friends they know just what to say and how to make things just a little bit better.
              So I have this amazing and fantastic Best Friend and she doesn't put up with peoples crap. Underneath it all she's a very soft hearted person and soft hearted people tend to get bruised very easily by other peoples carelessness and nonresponsibility. Just like good people get underappriciated and only picked on when they do something wrong. Anyway we all kindof come up with a get away place, someplace where the hurts don't hurt so bad like the barn or sometimes a special place you found in the woods or in a park. You treasure it and only share it with the people you know will respect it and love it as you do. You also have something special like a horse... or dog or some other thing, that you can talk to and it will listen and not criticize you or give you unwanted advice. Then theres a person you can always talk to and say what you think, you may not always agree but agreeing all the time on everything would be no fun. So compromises need to be made but in the end you wouldn't give them up for anything. You can always call them and explain your troubles and rant and in the end you know that if you really wanted them to they would kill the person that upset you and hide the evidence... one of my favorite quotes is..

"Good friends will ask you why you are crying,

but Best Friends will already have the shovel

to bury the loser that made you cry. <3"

My best friend is the best anybody could ever have! Always there for me, always knowing just the right thing to say, like today when school was crappy and when i got out and checked my txts i smiled immediately when i saw i had gotten one from her. And once i opened it, life didn't suck

so bad. There was a picture of my horse with her ears pricked and under it it said "I miss you mom!" Just the thing to cheer me up! haha I won't get to see either of them until Saturday and it seems forever away but once i get there time will fly... Oh well for the next week i won't really have to much to say because i can't visit my horse or best friend but have no fear i will post about past adventures.

The fun first week with MY Dixie

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Getting Dixie was the best Christmas presant ever!! And as Mare said "nice going Net you set the new highest standard for gift giving!" haha It's going to be a great year... hopefully! Mare and i rode 8 times in the 7 days i was there to visit: we had some official lessons from Net and just some fun play around days, hopefully those are signs of the good year to come. Yesterday was awesome because we rode twice once in the morning and once in the evening.
              Our ride in the morning wasn't so great... Missy was sassy (must be taking lessons from Dix) and was giving Mary a hard time which all us horse people know is SO frustrating. Our 2nd closest friend Jasse was also there so i let her ride Dixie for a bit. She isn't a bad rider just a little strong in the hands. Missy finally stopped being sassy for a period of time so we decided to in.

              During our second ride we decided just to have fun and ride our girls in their halters and and clip-on reins. It was very fun to just ride around for the fun of it, we went up the path to the outdoor arena then circled around the little ring and rode around some more. When we were up at the outdoor we let the girls play in puddles that were made from the overnight rain... They loved it!! Missy kept standing in the deep sections and wiggling her lips and tossing her head to splash in the water; and Dixie liked the little puddles that she could put her head down and walk from one puddle to the next the best.
