You know at least one person who’s said it. “I can’t even!” It seems like there is not a shortage of opportunities for people to use this phrase. Most of the time when I hear that I think, “I’m pretty sure you ‘can’ some!” Still, when I was perusing through my Pin Oak photos (aka pulling as many blog posts as possible from them), I noticed a few horses that really… can’t even. “I can’t even combination.” “I can’t even jog.”…
I’m trying to do this blogging series in the order that a new blogger would have to consider. Part I was about getting started and choosing a blogging platform. Part II was all about layout, but today’s Part III is unique in it’s something that both new bloggers should think about before they start and current bloggers can benefit from. SEO stands for search engine optimization, otherwise known as how high your blog ranks on Google. If you do not care about…
Last week, Diary of a Horse Obsessed Girl wrote an excellent blog post about the differences between local and rated horse shows. Since she has a lot more horse show experience than I do, I can go ahead and tell you that her post will be way more informative and accurate than this one. So go read that if you want to know the nitty gritty. This post however, is more about pictures and silliness. Since I haven’t actually shown rated,…
I have a co-worker who is much cooler than I am, and subsequently teaches me all kinds of slang the cool kids are saying these days. I find this hilarious, because the slang is so stupid. An example of this is “On Fleek” which means on point / ready to go / cool / I’m not sure I’m too old for this stuff. I think originally it had something to do with eyebrows, but since it’s stupid and hilarious to…
I needed a calm, quiet weekend that was relatively drama free and that’s exactly what I got on my Easter three day weekend. Years past I would get super into every holiday and make festive Easter baskets for just Tim and myself, but that got exhausting after a while. Though I still put a lot into Christmas, most holidays I just enjoy an extra day off work and try to get something productive done. Thursday evening I was really looking…
There are a lot of these lists out there – we have Buzzfeed and other sites to thank for that. 10 Signs You’re in Your Late 20’s! 27 Things Only Best Friends With the Same Color Hair Know! Some of them are funny, and some of them are tiring. Last night at the grocery store, I did something that surprised myself. While walking my semi-full cart to my car in the parking lot, I told it to “Whoa.” Out…
I’m having some troubles right now, and I don’t want to talk about it. My horse is fine though… love him. Let’s tackle something easy – like perspective. For example, I think the 3’6″ hunter ring looks terrifying. I am pretty damn verbal that I have zero interest in showing hunters that high. 3′ Adult Amateurs? Totally. 3’3″ Amateur Owners? Maybe. 3’6″ Amateur Owners? Oh to the hells no. So, so so big. Then we stroll on over to the jumper…
2006 16.2hh Thoroughbred Gelding. Can play in all three rings. Lots of miles in the local hunter/jumper circuits in 2’6″ hunters and jumpers. Schools 3′ at home when owner is not terrified. Cute jump. Very expressive hunter on course. Lots of brilliance. Auto half changes. Clips/loads/excellent ground manners. Ties occasionally. Hunter derby scores in the low 60’s. As honest as the day is long. Can take a joke. Excellent flat work foundation. Schooling second level dressage movements at home. Has yet to…
