4-H Day and Spring

4-H Day: Ok so 4-H Day was successful. Molly did a table top, Clara and Sage were adorable with "Get Your Polo On", Therese and Rachel were very good cooks, and Hannah and Deanna did an excellent job with their demo. Clara and Sage were room winners. I won my division bc I was the only one in my division. I don't know what it is, but I seem to have this hold over the "cow boys". Either they are awed by my beauty or just starstruck my intellect. Either way they try to hit on me. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! SO funny. DENIED!!! The try so hard only to be let down. Hard.


SPRING: Ok so spring is almost here for REAL!!! the snow is slowy melting and the roads are loosing their natural speed bumps (here in NH we have terrible frost heaves). I rode both Julio and Humor on Tuesday. Julio was wicked hairy and a really good boy. We were practicing simple lead changes and leg yields at the canter. He was such a good boy. Oh I remember why I <3 him. :) Humor was just silly. He was jiggy and then bouncy, then FORWARD. hahahahaha. He was focused then ADD. I guess it's just a TB thing. Hahaha.

Song of the Day, Week, Month, Year?

The VC worship team and I litterally haven't stopped listening to "Be Lifted High" by Bethel Music in like a month. It only came out in Feb. and we are still obscessed with the music and worship on the album. We have already managed to sing 5 of the songs from the album. WHoooo. Scott (the leader) intends to sing all of them just for kicks and giggles. This one particular song stood out to me. The overall theme of this album is Christ's love for us and his church. And right now that seems what the congregations is needing. Watching the people engage in personal, intimate worship with the Father is a beautiful sight to behold. I want to share with you one of my fav. song. We haven't done it yet. Perhaps this Sunday morning.

A Hairy Situation

I have suffered with long straight thick and plain boring hair for most of my life. So I decided to try something different. However, it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Scrunching is a technique that incorporates gell and lots of hair spray. Basically you scrunch your hair up creating waves and curls and continue to scrunch until you get the desired beachy messy wave. So it kinda worked. My hair was definately wavy and very goopy. I didn't like the goopiness. I look kinda poofy. Not as bad as I did on Christmas Eve. (I curled my hair with a straightener, WOW I looked like a poodle). This morning I am taking a shower to rid myself of that sticky, stringy, wavy mess.

Super Duper Annoying Pooper Scoopers

I created a blog for all my horsey friends at the barn, in my 4-H club, and across the state. So far we have had great posts and comments. However, I am frustrated with the people who will post more than twice a day about nothing important or horsey. That was the point of the blog! Urghhh. I have to find a way to "explain" that to some blog addicts.

Winter is Back!

After so many beautiful Spring-like days, old man winter is back. As I type, there are bigg snowflakes blanketing my yard. Ughh. And I really truly thought Spring was on it's way! :(

Shopping

It started out as shopping for towels - our pastor delegate my mom to go purchase towels for next weeks baptisms. It's weird how God can work in odd ways when you least expect it. Anyways, we headed to TJMaxx. That store is riduculous because nothing is order. An OCD person like me cannot handle the disfuntion. Towel shopping turned into shoe shopping, and shoe shopping turned into dress shopping. It was well worth the time spent searching a very discombobulated store like TJMaxx. I found this very elegant black and white dress for graduation. A Beka has a very strict policy for what students can wear for graduation. This dress was modest, knee length, and black - triple wamy. The stinky thing is, I would have looked killer at National 4-H Conference in the dress. But instead I get to judge Jr. Effort Problems at the NH State Hippology/Horse Judging Contest. I won't be wearing that dress of course, probably some jeans and cowboy boots. The dress pictured is the same brand and style of the one I bought, except the neckline is different and there is less white.

To anyone who loves vintage and 50's inspired clothing check out http://www.modcloth.com/. I love their clothing. It reminds me of a clean and fresh NY style with a twist of San Fransisco. Lemon on the side.

No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

I have a wonderfully springy bed. It is old and metal with a lumpy mattress. I love it. But this morning, I went to jump/sit on my bed and I bounced into the window frame. Litterally my back smashed into the window and man it hurt wicked bad! Guess that's one of the reasons Mom said, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
