Hieee

Hey guys! So I rode Sophie the other day and she was amazing. We jumped and got to go over the coop and everything. She was a-maze. AH! I'm so excited- my birthday is in 3 DAYS!!! I cannot wait.

Horsey

Hi guys! Wow I haven't posted in so long... that was weird. I am wearing a magnetic bracelet and as soon as i rested my wrist on the computer the screen went black. Oops. Well it's back now so I hope I didn't just kill my computer. Anyways... I went to see my horse today. My uncle Mike was with us and so my sister and I got to show Sophie to him. She was fabulous. I got her to canter much faster then usual, which was fun. It was kind of something we usually work against, and try to keep maintained, but every once in a while I let Sophie just go as fast as she wants. Not for a long time, but for about a lap around the arena. I know if I didn't have those ahhh moments then I would probably burst before too long. But Sophie was good and cooperated. Wow I'm so tired. I think I get to sleep in my own, très clean room tonight! YAY! I got new sheets and everything- they are blue and sooo soft!   xoxo

Sirens

Blah. Tornado sirens again... why cant they play music or something? It is so incredibly annoying. Bwee ew breee ew bwee ew oh my goodness I am going to go insane. I remember a couple of years ago, we had a tornado like every night. I live in a very safe part of Memphis so we never get hit, but we are still subject to hearing all those stupid sirens. Seriously if they all played "Dynamite" or something it would be better. Of course Dynamite would get annoying too, but at least its better then whoooo whoooo whoooo all over and over and over and OVER again. Another sleepless night do to that idiotic siren. Ugh.

Lazy Day...

Well it's been another semi-lazy day. We didn't ride- I've had a huge headache all day- but we did go to harp lessons and then Target. I love Target. It's possibly the best store of all time... except for maybe American Eagle. Ya I like that store too. We bought like 6 zillion pounds of Halloween candy for my brothers. They go to college in Cali on Malibu Beach (which, by the way, is so totally not fair!) and so of course, because it's like their so troubled about living ON THE BEACH that we had to send them millions of pounds of candy! Oh well, it was still fun. I told mom that when I'm in college she can feel free to send me all the little decorations for any Holiday that she wants too- the boys probably wont want it.
   Haha while I'm sitting here, my kitten is sitting on the ottoman that my feet are on. She was licking herself and when she finished licking her feet she licked mine. Adorable, but then again, by feet may need it. I am glad that my cat cause about my health needs. Or maybe she thinks my feet smell and was embarrassed. Either way, shes cute. xoxo

Fall Break???

Where did the sleeping till noon, up till midnight go? No matter how long I stay up I keep waking up at exactly eight-thirty. How bazaar! Of coarse Kitten Little doesn't help much by jumping up on the bed and then jumping down again over and over. And of course I'm so scared to let the chickens out in the mornings too. Its because their all dieing, and I'm terrified of going out there and finding a dead one in the coop. I've  done it before- it's not a very good way to start the day. Somehow the chickens know that if they don't eat one day then I'll be super worried, so that particular chicken always HIDES when I go to let them out, causing me to freak. Then as I turn around in tears to find my mom, the chicken always runs out with the others. Stupid birds. But all is okay this morning and I'm thankful for that. You may think "Gosh whats the big deal? Their just chickens!" but our chickens are as much pets as our cats and dog and rabbit and horse. We named all six of the original ones and when we got more, we named them too. All the chickens we have ever had were named: Bunny, Lucky, Grace, Gwenneth, Lilly Ann, Penelope, Luna, Hermione, and Jenny(In case you didn't notice, the last three are Harry Potter names,). We've lost Gwenneth(who was my all time fave and we lost her first), then Grace (Grace and Gwenny were besties), and then just last Saturday Lilly Ann. She was the coolest looking of them, she had circles in the pattern of feathers on her back.
    Anyways enough of that. Well so far today I have woken up, let out the chickens and blogged. Yesterday I went back to the barn, my neck incredibly sore from Murphy (more like the ground!) and I worked. I work for my lessons at the barn, so technically I have a job! That's always cool. Well I need to go feed my cattle who are meowing (or in Sibby's case- squeeeeking) at me. Updates after riding this afternoon!

Murphy lesson

Hi! So I rode Murph earlier. He was fantastic, but I managed to take a spill anyways. Totally my fault. He left early over a jump because I accidentally leaned at it and wasn't prepared enough. Other then that, my lesson was perfect. We didn't jump very high because another girl, also named Emily, needed to lesson on him too and so we couldn't tire him out. Sophie was amazing for Lucy and Murphy was great. Success!

Love Blogging!

Hi! Well I haven't ridden yet and I'm blogging anyways... wow. So I was in my little sister's bunk-bed this morning and our kitten Sibby comes in, and starts meowing bloody murder. So I patted the bed and she took a running leap, and launched up the ladder. She was on the top...wrung (I think) and she tried to jump on the bed, but she missed and ended up hanging from the sheets with one paw. Classic lion king! Shes adorable. Okay well I should probably eat breakfast now and get moving, so I will update my, like, 2 readers after my lesson!

Today, I'm addicted

Hi! So i promised my self that I wouldn't blog until tomorrow but I can't help it! So I figured out (and this is no mystery and i feel slow for figuring out!) that if I get a small precision brush wet and then dipp it in pressed eyeshadow, voile-a! you have any color liquid liner! Especially a good trick if your allergic to most liquid liners like i am.
   I also saw on pinterest.com that if you put Vaseline around your cuticles before applying polish, then you will get a much cleaner manicure. Works every time, because you just wipe the Vaseline off after your polish dries.
   AND if you line your waterline with white eyeliner, you get very open eyes. Also, colored contacts are fun if you really need to spice up you look. Blue smokey eyes as a mix of turquoise, navy, and off-white (to highlight) can also be a very fun variable. I recently went to a Junk O Rama prom, and my friend CC(obviously initials) did gold smokey eyes with glittery colors and wet brushes. It was entertaining and bold and matched my lime green skinny jeans perfectly. Another makeup trick I use is to hold a business card under my lashes while I apply mascara, and it evenly coats each lash. Okay so some of these I didn't think of, I saw them in different places. Some I did, although they have been thought of before.
   ANYWAYS so what do I talk about. I am addicted to blogging and I have nothing else to write about!
   One of my friends SF did the nicest thing for me earlier. He was texting me this morning and I told him that I've been sick. And then when I went to the barn and left my phone home, he texted me like 6 times and I didn't see them for like 5 hours and he even called to check if I had died! He's the best. Love you S! lol as a friend.
 

Horsey today!

            I went to see my beautiful chestnut quarter horse today. I had been sick and incredibly busy, so this was the first time in three days that I've ridden her. Sophie was so happy to see me! When i got on, she was a little fast but not out of control. I did have to half halt her a couple of times though. Yes i know your probably thinking "Wow, this girl's horse went a little too fast so she yanked on her mouth." and that's not true. See when my sister and I first acquired this mare, she was western. So we spent about a year and a half teacher her to jump(now she'll just three-foot oxers for me!). But we had a small problem when she began to bolt and flat gallop every time we turned her toward the middle for a lead change. It wasn't as big a problem for me as it was for my sister, who is younger then me. So my trainer and I and my sister, Lucy, all worked hard with her to get her back under control. Finally we did and she can do lead changes and figure eights and everything. But when she starts to bolt i always have to get it very clear to her that that's not okay. She got the message after trying it just once. Sophie is a sweet horse and very smart, which sometimes plays against me. But like I said, I can get her around a high coarse with little to no problems now.

               I'm also excited to have a lesson on one of my riding instructor's horses(Luce will be on Sophie). His name is Murphy and he is an absolute dream to jump. I'll update tomorrow after my lesson!

              Well i have to go feed my cattle (cattle= mom's version of the plural of cats), so I'll update tomorrow and give y'all the 411 on my Murph lesson!

New blog!

Hey guys! So this is a brand new blog and I'm so excited to start posting stuff! I have lots of pets, including 3 cats, a dog, 6 chickens, a bunny and a horse. My horse is the main focus of my blog, but I might not be able to refrain from posting makeup or fashion tips. Basically I'm going to blog about my life so I hope you like it!
