Truthful Tuesday

I have a few random confessions today. First, I finally shortened the boys' manes this weekend. They may be mostly retired now, but that doesn't mean they need to look feral... But they really were starting to. That's not my confession though. My confession is that I got a blister cutting manes! (And yes, I cut them. There are rules for cutting. Horses that get braided only get their manes cut if they are thin. Jumpers can have them cut any time since I don't have to braid that mess. And retirees are also allowed to pass on the pulling. I'll share photos of their new 'do's tomorrow. But here's my booboo:

Thankfully that won't interfere with my braiding this weekend. THAT would be annoying.

My next confession is that I unintentionally bought something ridiculous last week. I already mentioned that I ordered the boys new turnout fly sheets for next year. Well, when I was checking out, they had another fly sheet on sale for 19.99. It's not a turnout one, just like a scrim. I've been wanting to get one for hand walking since the flies are getting ridiculous and I figured $20 is the right price for such a thing. And it came in hunter green! What I didn't read was the description. You guys. It has BLING on it. Lol. Sorry boys.

That string of bling goes all the way down the side... On both sides! Hahahahaha! It's hilarious. I mean, we all know I love sparkles and glitter... but not really for the boys clothes. Oh well. It will still do the job. I could probably remove it if I was feeling so motivated. But I'm not.

And lastly, speaking of shopping... I'm the sucker that falls victim to all the crap they put by the check out at Marshall's. Or Walmart. Or the dollar store... Wherever really. This weekend's round up of things I absolutely should never own but do:
A cactus pen

I mean it looks right at home on my work desk right? Clearly a useful thing to waste my money on. It actually writes nicely though... so I mean... I'll use it at least?

A fake cactus in a dinosaur

Also fits in perfectly on the work desk... My t-rex highlighters definitely needed an herbivore to prey on, am I right?

 <<sigh>>

I'm not sure I'll ever be a responsible adult. I mean I'm middle aged, and I still buy this crap on the regular. But that fake cactus/dino make me smile every time I look at them, so I guess it's money well spent?

Do you ever fall victim to this crap? What's the silliest thing you've ever bought that makes you really happy still? Or just the stupidest thing. Whatever. Commiserate with me in the comments!
