Fantasy vs. Reality

Where I wish I was this weekend:

Where I am / what I'm actually doing this weekend:

However, while I'm beating my head against a wall getting ready for my Civ Pro exam on Wednesday, you can be sure that Rolex will be live streaming from the USEF network site on my iPad straight through to my TV!  I can't explain how excited I am that this will work... I tested it out on some old videos on USEF, and they seem compatible with my Apple TV!  Does it get any better?  Well.. yes, being there would be better, especially considering how close I am to Lexington, but given that actually attending isn't an option, it probably DOESN'T ACTUALLY get any better.  Maybe next year I can attend...

"Today is the greatest..."

Snapfish was running a deal on framed collages, so I bought this, which is now hanging in my living room...

I think it pretty well sums up the greatest mare*.  On another note, I was speaking with Steph the other day, and she actually said that while she never thought it would be the case, she actually thought Dee was a pretty awesome horse.  I knew she ended up liking her more towards the end, but it was really great to hear her say that she actually finds her to be nice.  I know that I just adore her!  While it terrifies me to think that I'm going to have two mouths to feed when I graduate school [mine and hers, with hers being more important], I have big plans to grow old with this mare.  Somehow, some way.

*I have to qualify that statement by saying she ties Dusty for that title.  

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

So, I'm not going to say too much yet, because it's all very tentative, but it looks like there might be a life change in the works for Dee.
H has begun working full-time and hasn't been able to ride much, and L is going for her PhD at the moment.  B might know someone who would like to take over the ride for a bit, and it might be an eventer.
I will keep updating as I know more, but there might be some fun changes in store for my baby.

Meanwhile, I'm feeling like I'm on a runaway freight car, heading straight into exam week.  I might have some interesting plans for the summer, too.  But again, I'll update as I know more!
