A good friend of mine died on Saturday. The second death since Thanksgiving. His funeral is today. The farrier is coming tonight as well. I tried to reschedule — the earliest appointment would be at the end of December. The horses can’t afford to go that long, not with Isis back in work. She needs…
According to an article in the Union Leader, Newt Gingrich stated that ‘a “different set of rules” may be needed to reduce terrorists’ ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.’ Ironically, this statement was made at the t the annual Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment award dinner….
Rajiyyah was full of herself yesterday. When I lunged her, she kicked up her heels, pranced around, and was a holy terror on the lunge line. After a few minutes she settled down adn we were able to get some productive work done. What a silly girl. Poor thing has rain rot on her hips…
I updated the photography album with pictures of Isis (under Horses) and Kiesha (under cats). I’ll try to be better about posting more recent pictures. Related Images:
One of my kitties, Kiesha, is a long-haired calico. For some time, I’ve thought that she is a Maine Coone cross. However, a friend asked me if she is a Norweigian Forest Cat (a breed I had never heard of). I did some research, and sure enough she looks like a Norwiegian Forest Cat and…
So today I’m heading out to another friend’s house for an ‘orphans’ Thanksgiving’ meal. While I’m enjoying spending the time with my friends, part of me keeps looking outside at the beautiful weather and wishing I was riding… The food and meal yesterday was excellent. Great company and good conversation. I can’t get over how…
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone has time with friends and family and not with the nasty flu that is going around. I’m going over to a friend’s house for dinner with her family. I was going to try to head to my Mom’s house. Unfortunately, between air fare prices and lodging for a diabetic cat… it…
Wednesday night is my regular dance class. However, Thanksgiving is taking the place of dance class tomorrow. Just for fun, I emailed my instructor to see if she would like to come over for a lesson. She agreed. Whenever she comes over, we have something like a cross between a girls’ night out and a…
Some interesting definitions from The Jargon Lexicon: bletcherous: /blech’@�r@s/, adj. Disgusting in design or function; esthetically unappealing. This word is seldom used of people. “This keyboard is bletcherous!†(Perhaps the keys don’t work very well, or are misplaced.) See losing, cretinous, bagbiting, bogus, and random. The term bletcherous applies to the esthetics of the thing…
It is snowing here. This is so strange. It’s supposed to be 60F on Thanksgiving. This just seems so wrong… Related Images:
So the recital was last night! The good news is that the top held together and fit. Last thing you want to do is have your top fall apart when you are belly dancing! I spent most of the day getting ready for the trip to Chattanooga. I left the house at 3:00 to arrive…
So far everything has been going well. I am not going to do any workouts tonight like I normally would. I’ve practised the choreography a few times, reviewed the steps and the music. I feel comfortable with everything. Here’s hoping tomorrow goes well! Related Images:
Mom posted two pictures of Isis up on Sidar’s foal page. Isis pictures from July 2006 show Related Images:
If you have friends overseas, here are some great resources for using a domestic dial-through number to make free international calls. Here’s how it works: dial the access number for the international dialtone (in this case, the number is based in Iowa), dial the international number at the dialtone, and then you’re connected to the…
My friend the seamstress just called. She said that she can meet me during lunch with the completed velvet coin top and the skirt. Amazing! She has really saved me a lot of time and difficulties. Related Images:
