.. Hopefully. :)
This is what's new:
- Richard turned 24 last week and is now in love with mountain biking. He got a bike for his birthday. It's red and seems fancy. That's more or less the extent of my knowledge, but I am trying to learn.
- I realize, in retrospect, my husband and I missed the Glee bandwagon. We are now clinging to the tail pipe of said wagon and singing along in loud bravado. It's beyond a guilty pleasure.
- I've started barefoot running, and so far, I love it. One has to start slow, however. Combining it with yoga this morning has made for some blissfully stretched and sore calves, arches, and abdominals.
- It's been cold-ish and rainy and everything is very muddy.
- Adopt-a-Horse is going well. An interesting spectrum of interested participants, but well.
- This weekend, I am riding in a classical dressage clinic. (Your silence is understood.) I was semi-talked into it after expressing vague interest, and I'm very excited, but borderline terrified. I'm taking a favorite camp horse who may or may not crap kittens at the sight of a new place and new people, and no, I have absolutely no experience with dressage. I'll be riding in my work saddle, and chinks, and stovepipe boots. I will look like a yahoo. But I'm desperate to learn, and haven't taken a proper lesson in over six years.
- Something about marriage has rendered me useless at housecleaning. I swear I was neat at some point in my life.
That's about all I can muster. Going to take a nap (yes, a nap, at 945 at night) waiting for Richard to come home from his Man Date with Bill so we can go feed the caballos and put everybody to bed.
Do you like barefoot running?! Do you wear the vibram shoe thingies or actually legit barefoot? It seems like a neat concept but what about rocks?
ReplyDeleteStupid questions I am sure but I'm not afraid to ask the stupid ones!
Who did you decide to take to the dressage clinic? P.S. I think it's fantastic and you will learn SO much! Taking lessons again has totally revived my desire to be a good, effective and PRETTY rider again.
Best of luck in the clinic, I'm sure you'll do great.
