Whew. I have dropped the ball on this whole blog thing in the past few months, but our new roomie Jenn has one and updates it every day, so I'm feeling inspired to do the same. Well, maybe not every day. But definitely more than once every three months.
I guess I'll start at Christmas break... Went home on December 27 via Greyhound Bus, which is a surprisingly awesome and cheap way to travel. My route went from Lexington to Berea, KY, to Knoxville, TN, then I switched buses and went from Knoxville to Asheville, NC.
My mum picked me up from the station and I spent a few days with her and her new husband, Stan, then drove down to Columbia and spent a lovely few days and EXCELLENT new year's eve with John and Dana. Then I drove up to Greenville to visit Emily and my family. Em and I went wedding dress shopping for her, and then went to a Wasted Wine performance at the Warehouse Theater... most excellent.
Then, after about 5 days and about 5 hours of sleep (total), I drove back to NC, hung out for a bit, and hopped the bus back to ol' Kentucky.
Despite some drama and some sad stuff and some ridiculous work stuff, I'm feeling pretty OK about 2010 so far. I think it's going to be a "growing up" year... about time, I suppose.
Well, anyway, if you have survived my rambling up to this point, I'll go ahead and give you a teaser... Story boards for my silly childrens story "El Bajo" are in the works! I'll post them ASAP.

So I'm really pumped for Halloween, if you can't tell. This is the pumpkin I carved yesterday. Chelsea and I also rented a week's worth of horror movies, including The Omen, Betelgeuse, The Amityville Horror, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shining, Psycho, and Nosferatu. No plans for the actual night yet, but I'm hoping we can talk some of the boarders into throwing a party, because Halloween just isn't the same without costumes and debauchery!
Today, it was 42 degrees and raining when we got up. Chelsea and I decided to document our epic rain gear for posterity. I don't know about her, but I'm wearing two shirts, pants, two pairs of socks, a jacket, coveralls, muck boots, and a rain jacket.
It's gonna be a hard winter y'all.
This weekend, I found out what a bad idea it is to ride through injuries. I got through my dressage test OK at Jumpstart this weekend, but by the time XC rolled around, my back was all "Fuck you!" and I was all, "Oh, c'mon!" and so I fell off during warm up, further effed up my back, and had to scratch my entry.
Luckily, Megan has given me a few days off, so my gimpiness is starting to clear up. But it looks like Grady is going to have to wait a few months for his premiere, especially since he is still lame! Oh, horseback riding.
This is from a few weeks ago when I was practicing braiding. Grady was checking out a barn cat that hopped down the ladder.
