Heart Swell

I had little reminder about having a passion today. I discovered equine blogs! Blogs on equine style, celebs, horses and competition. When the realization hit me that there is a whole world of internet horsey goodness just waiting to be explored I experienced this warming sensation in my heart that slowly spread to my fingers and toes. You may think I'm saying that to illustrate how happy I was, but no. I actually had a physical response to my discovery and while that my be a little over the top I was reminded that horses are  my passion, and that I need to stay focused on that. I returned from Honduras with horsey motivation unparalleled, but somehow lost sight of the absolute focus and knowing what I wanted in the hustle and bustle of getting my real life back in order.

So, needless to say that after i was satisfied by an initial snooping of the best horsey blogs - I rushed outside to spend some QT with my own horsey who needs it very much. And was rewarded with white winter coat all over my coat (shedding season) ear-splitting whinnies, pawing, and not standing still to be brushed. Oh yeah, I've been procrastinating on separating my herd bound horses since the last time I tried.. and failed. Post on that coming right up.

So not exactly the passion igniting horse time that I was all geared up for, but now my horses are (un)happily separated and well on their way to being able to focus on me the passionate rider, and gaining super horse skills...  rather than eachother.

Here is a roundup of my new, most favorite equestrian blogs!

I know, they are ugly. I don't care. I don't feel like spending the next hour trying to steal the website header...

sooo here’s a confession

 

I’ve become addicted to Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum mystery novels. 

 

This is no laughing matter, I am averaging 2 novels per day and it’s not showing any signs of letting up. It’s not that these mysteries are examples of fine literature or anything, it’s just that they are a quick read, cheap entertainment (I have no internet no TV at my house, and 1-2 feet of snow remaining in the yard) add that to the fact that they feature dirty words, sexual tension and the occasional new and outrageous character. This is not a new problem for me, I have a long history of getting hooked on books to the point of staying awake through the night, missing university classes, and showing up late and exhausted for work. The 7^th Harry Potter book? yea, I read it to completion from 11pm to 8am the day I got my hands on it. 

 Sooo, needless to say I will be going to the novel-inspired movie featuring Katherine Heigl. Let's just hope she doesn't annoy me by acting not her part, but the character that she inadvertently plays in every single movie she is in...
