As a quick explanation of my title: there is a commercial on the radio that says 'Thank you for being the most amazing' and after it said that I said Mum. She said that I never say that and that I wouldnt. So now here is me saying my mum is the most amazing. With an exclamation point. Actually 2 explanation points. :]
Now to correct a few things in my last post: I said that we got up on Wednesday and went to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving when actually Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. So we actually went on Thursday.
Next, I never did a Thanksgiving blog that said what I was thankful for and I guess the guilt is getting to me. :/
Here is a list of 25 random things that I am thankful for:
1. That rush of excitement you get when you are next in line
2. Lunchtime
3. The last piece of pizza
4. Artist
5. Eminem!
6. Starbucks (or coffee)
7. Bed sheets
8. Dr. Pepper
9. AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association)
10. Bath and Body works
11. Puppies
12. Spiderman
13. Lamp Shades
14. The smell of a healthy fire
15. DUCKS
16. Soccer fields
17. Maple syrup
18. Paper
19. The city
20. Laughter
21. Pants...
22. Salt
23. The color red
24. Table Clothes
25. Cell Phones
There is alot more practical things that I am thankful for like the usual family, friends, food, life, etc. but I wanted to make a list of random things. Because random is always more fun.
Now I dont feel so guilty:)
Time to publish,
Its barely after Thanksgiving and the TV is already over-run with Christmas commercials! Not that I dont like Christmas, dont get me wrong, I love Christmas!! Who doesnt? But I think it is a little ridicules that even before Thanksgiving everyone is talking about Christmas. Anywho.
I love Thanksgiving break:
I have been a very busy girl. On Wednesday we woke up and traveled to my grandparents house. (And its not that it is too far only about a 30 minute drive, but it sounds more exciting when I say it like that.) My cousins where going elsewhere for the food, so it was just my parents and grandparents and me. After we ate, me and my mother went to ******* where my aunt lives (about 2 hours away). We scouted out our Black Friday route that night and went to bed early with bellies full of ice cream. That Friday morning we woke up at 2 AM so we could stand in line at Fry's electronics, while my mom went to Wal-Mart to wait. The stores only open at 5 so why would someone get there at 3!! Who knows? But thats what we did.
Then after a couple hours and success at the stores me and my mom went home. I cleaned my horse with the intention of going to a show Saturday morning, but that isnt exactly what happened. I woke up and said "Im too tired." and I went back to bed. Great.
Now I am sitting in my room typing away while watching Juno.
How fun.
Later we will take the dogs to the dog park and see the horse.
Couple days later.
Here in the dessert it seems like one day we have nice weather, and then BAM! the next day its winter!
The past couple of days have been freezing! Me and my friends have a hard time finding a table in the warm cafateria and are forced to eat outside. With the wind blowing at 100 MPH (not literally) it gets a little cold. Ok maybe not a little, ALOT!!! Even my house is cold. One of the air vents or something is broken. Or something like that. So we cant turn on the heater in my house yet. The coldest rooms in the house are the master bedroom, the computer room, and nicely enough MY ROOM!! So I sleep in the living room where it is warm :) and with like three blankets!
Anywho... I have a show this weekeng called Winter Point show. It is one of the big 4H horse shows of the year. What happens is you show in all your events (ie: Showmanship, Horsemanship, Reining, Equitation, etc.) and whatever place you take, you get a certain amount of points. Im not sure of the exact point values but it goes something like:
1st=15
2nd=10
3rd=7
4th=5
5th=3
6th=1
Something like that (those arent the exact values I just made those up).
At the end of the year, after the ***** County Fair, whoever has the most points gets a belt buckle (in the horse world they are worth alot not only in $$$ terms but in our heads). So this year I am hoping to do very well and get a belt buckle! It's always good to think positive! :) This weekend I definately wont get up and say "Im too tired." That will not be tolerated by anyone! :)
I will talk to you later.

The longer I am in public school, the more I love it!! I cannot believe how much better it is than private. While you are in private school you think everything is fine and dandy until you go to public. Then your whole perspective changes and you relize how much of that part of you life you have wasted. For me that was 9 YEARS!!! Its crazy but life is good now and I can finally say that I am truly happy.
The only thing that would make it better is a boyfriend. OH Im just kidding (for you Dad) Guys cant make a girl happy XD.
Anywho.
A couple days later
Life has treated me pretty good for the past couple of weeks. I have a bunch of shows coming up. It seems like this year I have benn going to alot more shows than ever!! I have another this weekend that I am going to start riding english in. If you dont know what that is it is wear you ride in a littler saddle.
This is english saddle :). And below is a western saddle (what I am used to).
So anyways it is alot of fun cuz I am starting to like denglish alot more than western. And my horse was an english horse before I started to use her, so she likes it alot better also. She responds alot better to it :)
I was making this post at my mums work and she says it is time to go :( I will ttyl my friends
I thought that Freshman year was going to be mainly drama free... I was wrong. Very wrong.
I knew that there would be the little stuff about she hates her and they had to work together on a science project and all that stuff, but I was hoping the huge stuff wouldn't come up. At least not so fast.
Me and my friends Kristi and Isabel made friends with this girl awhile back. Now we totally regret ever talking to her... she follows us around constantly and when she walks with us she has to be touching you no matter what. She tells the worst jokes....over and over and over and over and over and over again!!!!! In the really loud lunch room she talks really really soft and when we say "What? Can you speak up." she doesn't speak up at all! She didn't know what Jersey shore was or a seizure and stupid easy stuff like that. She is just plain obnoxious. So how would you get rid of your obnoxious friends??
We felt kind of bad because we don't think she has many other friends so we tried to get her some new friends and let her down easy. She didn't really get the picture so we took a different approach. Isabel had a nice little talk. "So, some people in the our little group here are getting a little annoying and it would be nice if they would just hang out with their other friends and not so much with us." Then the bell conveniently rang! Darn! Christi had her nest class with her. Again, dang! So when the girl talked to Christi in the class she said Her: "Isabel was talking about me wasn't she?"
Christi: "UMMMM....I'm not sure"
Her: "Well it wasn't you so it must have been me"
Then they talked about something not very important and THEN:
Her: "Ya know. No one thought I was annoying until Isabel came around.
OMYGOODNESS!!!!! Way to make me really mad!
Im just trying to cool off now so I needed to type it out.
Nest time will be a normal blog...

Who in the world would babysit instead of go to freshman homecoming?!
Your reading her blog.....
I would have gone if I had a boyfriend or something, but since I am currently single, I decided to stay home. Thursday night our neighbor asked me if I was doing anything, and if I could babysit his kids. I wasnt planning on going in the first place, so this gave me something to do (and I got paid!!!). So last night I stayed up with a couple kids until 10 o' clock. Fun night huh?
Anywho since the last time I talked to you guys I have gotten a new puppy!!!! He is sooooo adorable. We found him and of course mom couldnt leave the poor thing behind. We brought him home to dad......ya that could have gone better. But I think after a month the little guy has grown on him. We named him Gizmo after the original gremlin im Gremlins.
I just wanted to update you guys quickly about Homecoming and the pup.
LOVE YOU ALL!
