Truthful Tuesday

Today's confession is that holy moly life is kind of crazy suddenly! Not because of the horses really, though that is going to be a huge change once Pammon gets here. It's more that summer arrives and there's so much going on. There's braiding jobs for one thing. No complaints there as that's paying for Shiny's new wardrobe. I have lots of friends turning 40 this year, so there are celebrations to attend. Those are super fun! But then there's all the boring stuff too. My car needs a bunch of maintenance, I still haven't brought it to the body ship to get fixed, and my emissions will be due next month. Boo. It seems I tend to schedule my dr appt's in the summer, so all of those are coming due. P needs her annual stuff done. And my job is CRAZY right now. Add in some home repairs, outdated electronics (looking at you 10 year old Macbook), and property taxes coming due, and the old bank account is looking pretty sad too. That new saddle might have to wait.
I guess what it boils down to is that I'm feeling a little bit of pressure between expenses and lack of hours in the day. But that's life right? I'm so grateful to have all the wonderful four legged creatures in my life to balance out the chaos!
Seriously, there's nothing like meandering aimlessly on your pony for a half hour to bring a little zen back into your life. Trust me, it totally works! (Assuming your pony is down for it too...)

Truthful Tuesday

You guys, I'm feeling totally frazzled lately. There's so much to do and get done these two weeks before Christmas (and I'm Jewish!) that life is a little insane. Work too. Craziness everywhere! So I have lots to confess today.
First, I received my blogger secret Santa gift over the weekend, and I haven't even thanked my Santa yet... Sorry! Post coming very soon, and I love it, so thank you Santa!!!
Second, I have my blogger secret santa package set and ready to go (not the confession part, here it comes...) I wanted to ship it Saturday, but I got to the post office at 12:05. They close at noon. I work during regular post office hours, so I'm not completely sure when I'm getting this box out. So sorry to my recipient. I will get it out asap and make sure it ships two day air! I used to be able to ship stuff from work, and just pay them back, but they don't let us do that anymore. Lame.
Third, I've eaten more cookies and donuts in the last four days than anything else. My body doesn't even know what protein is anymore. (Sorry body.)
And the last one...
Fourthly: I was going to write up a big ol' blog post about how expensive boarding is, but not because of the obvious stuff. But I don't have time to write that today, and I don't want it to come off as just whiny, so it will have to wait. Maybe next week.

Do you have anything you need to get off your chest today? Holidays got you stressed? Want to punch that drunk uncle in the throat? Let's commiserate in the comments!
