Mood Sah-wing!!!

Let’s see … I know there was stuff you missed while I was on hiatus …

Jade and I went to see STOMP! It was simply a fantastic display. If you’ve never seen it, do! If you’ve seen it before, go see it again! I’m told that it’s been “improved” in that they used to be so serious about their performance … and now there’s a lot of comedy. And audience participation. Remember, in elementary, when you were in the gym for assembly and the teacher would rattle off a series of claps that we had to repeat back exactly? They do that … and it’s funny. I can’t really describe it properly … It’s just hilarious. It was one of the most stimulating performances that I’ve ever had the pleasure to attend.

Have tickets for Phantom of the Opera too … got those for Yule from my parents. Seen it twice now – once in Calgary and once here in town … Jeff Hyslop provided the better performance, I think. Still, I love the performance itself. The story, the emotion behind the music … * sigh*

Lynne sent the URL for Dreams in Amber to Scarlet for her to read. I was nervous … mostly because there was a stranger reading my stuff … and partly because there was a stranger reading my stuff!! She didn’t comment (as you can see for yourself) but she sent me a reply of sorts through Lynne … which had me giving the computer screen an odd, confused look. She said that I shouldn’t worry because all women go through this and all I need are my friends to support me.

Sounded like she was giving advice on menopause.

Lynne told me that she was referring to my loneliness. That didn’t ease my confusion any as I wasn’t aware it was a “woman” problem. And support from friends? To be sure … I’m not even going to go there. That’s the path where bitterness lies.

If that offends or horrifies anybody, feel free to WRITE me! Go ahead! Prove me wrong! Call me! Show up at my door!! You know where I am and how to find me! At least most of you do … the rest of you can find the comment box at the bottom of the screen!

Deep breaths … in with good, out with bad … deep breaths …

It probably wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the fact that Jade bought the computer game, Pirates … like the other computer games weren’t keeping him occupied enough?

He got upset with me this morning because I failed to make his sandwich for lunch. I had seen him getting things together last night and it never occurred to me that he still needed me to make it. In fact, there was a feeling of freedom that I didn’t … * sigh* Should have known it was too good to be true.

Getting negative here … don’t want to write negative … damn stuff is contagious …

20:34

Tomorrow is going to be a horrible day for me. Very, very long. I’ll get there at about 05:30 … and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to come home until 21:00 or 22:00 … somewhere in there. I have two qualifiers and a race to deal with. I’ll have help with one of the qualifiers (which is almost a pity because they are both my favourite horses. And complete opposites in personality.) I guess I’ll be going with my Kate – she’s pretty wild … Hardy is such a soldier boy that he’ll behave for anybody.) I do hope they do well. My racer is another favourite. He’s saucy.

I’ll have to give descriptions of my horses sometime. Well, actually, you’ve just read about three of the six … Let’s start over …

Kagey Kate (aka Katie) – wild and full of energy, very spinny

All American Hardy (aka Hardy boy) – my soldier boy, doesn’t fidget really (odd in a horse) He stands still unless I tell him to move.

Mattattack (aka Matty) – fairly calm, but saucy sense of humour.

Rb Rocketsredglare (aka Rocky) – chicken heart; I can’t touch his face as long as I’m standing outside his stall. I have to go in with him.

Smart Chance (aka Smarty or Chance – depends on who is talking) – brat, jealous (or worried) that somebody might be getting something he thinks he deserves

Senga Smyrna (aka Smyrna – sounds like Smirnoff) – another brat, but without the brains that should go behind it.

All are nibblers. This doesn’t mean that won’t hurt me with good bites, it just means there is no real malice behind it. They aren’t going for me so much as my shirt. One of the babies is like that … grabs my sleeve, waits for me to ask what he’s gonna do with it now that he has it … then shakes it like a rag doll (I keep my arm relaxed) until the sleeve slides out of his teeth. This baby needs a teddy bear.

I wish I could take pics, but they kinda frown on that. If anybody wants to watch, I’m in qualifiers 6 and 8 and Race 9 … http://thehorsesatnorthlands.com/video.html

Cheer for me!
