OH MY GOSH.

This is me realizing that this blog is officially over a year old!

On May 11, 2010, Somewhere Down the Centerline began.. And it's been an interesting ride. Now, I'm not the most reliable blogger.. But I promise to keep trying my best to get my thoughts on here. And finish the Saber-toothed Tale. Soon.

So how about a complete update? I usually write these in back stories, so you all don't get a real time feel for what's going on. Plus, some stories just haven't been typed out yet due to me being.. Well, me.

GIRL: After a year of hard work in the barn and in school, Girl is officially worn out. She thought she'd spend her summer by a pool or staring at the ceiling or anything that involved doing nothing... But y'all knew that wasn't going to happen! She is currently teaching a handful of Littles, trying to get pumped up about riding again (after a slight deflation), and doing themed babysitting when needed. She's pretty happy, minus the fact that she's getting up at 6 almost every morning.

HORSE: Well.. Horse is just chilling. Because of her sacrum, she will continue to chill until about August.

BARBIE: The beautiful brainless broad is currently in training to be a racehorse mama after a less than stellar 60 second ride that included a metal wall and a mounting block. Don't worry; she and Girl were fine. But after much thought and discussion with other horse people, Girl decided Barbie would be happiest in the low stress lifestyle of a broodmare.

BABY MAMA: Bred.. We learn if she is officially with baby on MONDAY. YAY.

Not quite the way I imagined the year going, but that's the thing with horses:
You can plan for the future, but you can't dictate it.

A year ago, I had huge plans for Horse and myself. Now, we're just waiting it out until she feels better. A year ago, I had no plans to have another foal. Now, I'm impatiently waiting for an ultrasound. A year ago, I was breaking the sprayer in my shower and trying not to get sick of turkey and cheese. Now, I'm taking ungodly long showers (15.. 20 minutes!!) and.. Okay. I still eat turkey and cheese more than any normal person should.

Here's to another year, Somewhere Down the Centerline.
Here's to more adventures.
