Truthful Tuesday

 

Hahahaha.... This is such a me problem. So I was putting away a massive amount of horse laundry on Sunday and was kind of losing my mind because I couldn't find my second green Mattes saddle pad. Not the ones with the sheepskin, but the plain pads I have. Or thought I had. So I found the one and it turns out I've never even used it. I was SO SURE there was another one floating around that I had used. SO CONFIDENT in that! So I went through a tack box that's in the barn where I thought it would be. It wasn't there. Then I went through several tubs in the shed. Then I went through the tack box again. And then I remembered that I only had one of those. That I've never even used. Doh. 

Almost every horse thing that I own I have at least two of because you know, I have two full sized horses. Most things I have two of in horse and one in cob. I have two BLUE mattes plain pads. So I figured I must also have two green. But I do not. Because I ordered them so long ago, I only had Pammon and Shiny at the time. We also had Eros, but he was my stepmom's then and I figured he wouldn't need the green pad since he'd never be at my house. Boy was I wrong about that! 

So anyway, that's today's confession. I have no idea what I do and do not have at this point. So get ready: tack and horse stuff sale coming in a couple months once the horses are settled at the other barn for the winter.

Anyone else have carts pre-loaded on a bunch of websites just in case there are some great deals on things you already know you want? No? Just me? Okay then... I have a few things I'd like to get for the horses, but they aren't things I would ask my family for. So I'm hoping to get them during black Friday. Trouble is, they're all from Europe and I'm not sure if those particular sites do anything. Time will tell!

My other confession is that I can't stop watching Below Deck. I'm not partial to any particular season or location. I'll watch any and all of it. I'm not generally a reality tv watcher, but every so often I get totally sucked into one of these shows. Anyone else watch it? Do you have a favorite crew member, captain, or boat?

I always forget how much effort it takes to sell all your stuff on the Facebook. That's today's confession. (If anyone needs any horse stuff, stop over at my Facebook page. Lots still available.) Getting everything listed was a legit undertaking. First I spent probably four hours going through everything in the shed and pulling out all the things I wanted to sell. 

It was a lot of stuff.

Then I had to take pictures of everything and get it all listed on FB. That was another 8ish hours. And just when you think you can relax, it turns out, lots of people actually do want your stuff! So then it's trying to stay organized with who asked first, who paid, who wants what, where it's shipping to, shipping quotes, printing labels, finding boxes... PHEW!

But I'm so happy people are actually wanting things! I'm hoping to put most of the proceeds toward a saddle for Eros. And holiday gifts for the fam of course too. But let's be real. Probably it will all go towards fixing the barn toilet, servicing the car and truck, and getting the furnace cleaned. Boy adulting is exciting, isn't it?
