Time to kick ass again...

M found a cool website with a fitness contest on it. So we'll be spending the next 2 months getting in shape with money at stake. Hee hee! There are 5 prizes-- 1st prize is a grand, which would come in handy indeed. It's judged on percentage of body weight lost. In any case I'm glad for the motivation.
Fell back off the wagon. We went out last night to BD's going away soiree at the Barton Springs Saloon. Drank beer and had a few laughs. Been smoking the past few days again. So this new effort and opportunity to start over is welcome.
I rode my dear Saddlebred this afternoon. He's so glossy with his short Summer coat. I have to get photos soon. There's a new bay mare in the pasture. She's taken a liking to Shaggy, my boy is always the ladies' man. Today I was feeding him carrots and she bit my chest! Luckily she only got my shirt, but she wasn't kidding. I gave her some carrots too for good measure. She followed Shag and I all the way to the pasture gate and then stood there watching while I lunged him in the round pen. She's a looker of a horse and has shoes on. I wonder if I could get P to let me take her for a spin.....
Onward.
