Where did September go? I have been staying at L's since Sunday September 14, 2008. One week for ICND class and one week plus for house/cat sitting. I love their home but want to go to my home and sleep in my own bed. Mind you that will mean walking the dogs again. Not just opening the door and saying, "go potty" with only having to walk to the bottom of the steps of the deck and thinking I'll get it later. This time of year that means when it is light. Wyatt has found going in the wood chips is great. Yes, really great - I can hardly find it.

Josie decided to pull her front right shoe on Thursday. I had given her a couple of days off and went out to ride and I always check her over before catching her and what do you know - a shoe pulled right off. I think she has done this to me a few months ago - couple days off and she wants a couple more. Well, this time it is a week as the farrier had been out Thursday morning and won't come back until Wednesday, Thursday or Friday this week.

She was scheduled for a saddle fitting which we did do. Great news! Saddle still fits well. I keep hoping she doesn't say, oh you need to get a new one. Nope we are good for another 6 plus months. Josie has changed. She has muscled up on her top line. I knew baby gots back but boy is she ever getting a quarter horse power rear. She isn't a filly any more she is a full fledged mare, a regular bloomin' lady if you will. I think I will go out tonight and just ride her at the walk. The longer she goes in between the rowdier she will be.

My friend L and hubby E went to Europe part for work and part for vacation. She was lucky enough to get tickets to go to the Spanish Riding School. I put in a request for a brush. It was the only thing I knew I would put to good use. Very expensive this brush but hopefully worth it. The White Stallions - oh what I would do to get to see them. I will put that on my list to do before I die. I have ridden an elephant and could ride a camel at the Renaissance whenever I would like but don't want to do all my list things too soon!

My but it is getting chilly out there today. I am certain Josie will be a little rowdy tonight. Definitely not washing her tail tonight.

Trying to think of any other blog worthy stuff. Just been busy, oh wait! Did I mentioned the Wii??? OMG! It is the coolest. I will have to review my blog tomake sure I haven't. But I know I hadn't started the yoga yet with the Wii Fit board. It is soooooooo cool! Having fun is a good way of making sure I do my exercises. I have still be doing my memorized Jane Fonda Workout. Up to quite a few situps of varying positions. Let's see 50, 50, 30, 30 that side, 30 that side, another 50, 30 of bicycling situps. You would think I have abs of steel but not yet. I am fighting not to go up a pants size. I am bound and determined let me tell you. I will not, no frigging way. Did I mention we had potluck today - darn it! Will resume diet from hell tomorrow.
