cosy in bed on halloween morning
Oct. 31st, 2010 08:19 amIt's Sunday, which is traditionally the day of the week in which I get my butt out of bed far too early for a 9am riding lesson, but it rained Friday night here in SoCal and therefore the riding arenas are still crapola. So! I am back in bed and it feels WONDERFUL. (Although I did get up and got mostly dressed and had breakfast in anticipation before getting official word, but that's okay)
Cable was showing Rocky Horror Picture Show this morning. That's both rather wonderful and kind of wrong at the same time. That's a movie that belongs to the night.

hlh_shortcut story yet. WOE. I have been trying to decide what to write.... meep.

I have done with the audio book of Northanger Abbey (love love love) and am now on Persuasion, read by Greta Scacchi and she's kind of amazing. In between I listened to Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, which was very interesting and not at all what I expected.

Last Sunday, to contrast with the slothness of this Sunday, I participated in my riding schools Halloween Fall horse show. I rode in all 4 adult Walk/Trot/Canter classes (Equitation/Pleasure, an Elimination Command class [ you have 3 strides to do what the judges says before elimination], and an Equitation Challenge class [half way through you swap horses])
I did pretty good, my horse Flip Flop (haha. okay, his real name is Flipside) was a little, um, excited, and he spooked during the Pleasure class, but we got 1st in the Command and Challenge, so that was pretty neat.
here are pictures! The last pic is of me on Arrow during the Challenge class, but he's a chestnut thoroughbred like Flipster so you can hardly tell.
