Frantic Friday

Just spent the first part of my morning trying to fit all of the horse stuff in my car... yes, there is another horse show this weekend.... Blue Ribbon Dressage Show at DevonWood.  Wishing I would have had Jim take my car so I could have had the truck. My brain is not in horse show mode at all.  As I drove to my coffee date with Robanne, my eyes started swelling up and I was sneezing uncontrollably from the hay/horse smell of my car. Oh joy ;)

After a quick chocolate chai, I am back home preparing for the rest of my crazy day. Put some chicken in the crock pot so we can have dinner tonight (chicken quesadillas, perhaps?). Sam is driving down from Gig Harbor as I type this... will meet her for a quick lunch before I pick up Nat from school. She will run errands and I will take Nat to the barn. Nat and I need to quickly pack up hay and get Memo ready to get on the trailer. So glad that we remembered to pack Memo's feed yesterday...whew!

Then we are off to DevonWood... we will need to get Memo settled in. Have to tell you that packing for a horse is kind of like traveling with an infant. Remember ALL that stuff you had to bring??? OMG!! Only the horse stuff is dirty and stinky and huge.

Nat will need to ride Memo for awhile, then back home for us to meet up with Sam. Tonight will be dinner and tack cleaning, as well as getting all the stuff that we forgot ready for the horse show ;) I'm sure that there will be lots of that. LOL

Saturday Nat has really crummy ride times: 10:30AM and 3:30PM. Pretty much means that we will have to be at DevonWood all flippin' day. Nat will be doing her first-ever First Level dressage test. Hope that Miss Memo is excited about being dressage pony this weekend and behaves herself. Never know with her. 

Sunday night we are celebrating Jim's birthday with the family and Sam. Still not sure what I will make for dinner... definitely some kind of chocolate cake. Thinking about pork loin with mango salsa?? We'll see how ambitious I get after the whole horse show thing!! 

Off I go... wish me luck ;)
