If you would like some amusement while I'm in the process of constructing my post from the weekend, check out my Mom's post. I'm probably in 4th or 5th grade, cutting up a chicken.
Hehe! What a great picture! Its great seeing how much people have changed (or not changed) from when they were kids! I can totally recognize that as being you.
Right...and then eat the whole thing myself. Wonderful way to start a new year.. :)
And mom - I'm not sure it was necessary to post my birth year for everyone to see! At a quarter of a century, I'm getting a bit selfconcious of my age! (not really....although it is amazing that I'm halfway through my 20's and STILL not through school. *sigh*)
Welcome to the Boots and Saddles blog. "Boots and saddles" describes a horse of(f) course - my experiences in the endurance world, as a veterinary student, and as a life long student of the horse. This blog is part of a larger endurance information site, which promotes renegade hoof boots and education for riders in their first 1000 endurance miles. I hope that you are entertained, informed, and inspired.
Funder: I swear, endurance is the sport of tying as much random crap on a dirty horse as possible, then riding til you chafe your thighs raw.
Elizabeth Funderburk: You're not tough just because you can destroy your body faster than everybody else around you. That is a ridiculously difficult thing for me to remember...You can be plenty tough without being dumb...
Bethany Faubel: Funder's right: being tough doesn't mean being damaged before you have a chance at senility. Otherwise, we would be calling all professional boxer/wrestlers not only tough but intelligent as well...
Sharlene, verbally
"Endurance is a series of small disasters, interspersed with larger disasters. The sport of endurance is your ability to solve and learn and prevent them. (and enjoy the process)"
AareneX on 2010 Goals:
"I will not be discouraged by setbacks in 2010, but will use them as training opportunities for successes in the future."
JB on Revelation 7 "More then just bruised ego's are at stake in endurance, as the horses whole life and well being is on the line".
Hehe! What a great picture! Its great seeing how much people have changed (or not changed) from when they were kids! I can totally recognize that as being you.

Bring it to work! Or freeze it - cake does freeze really well. Freezing requires more self-control than foisting it off on co-workers though.
ReplyDeleteYou are SO YOUNG; don't even start about being old!
