Lately I've been really wanting to go to Scotland. My husband and I went in 2010 and we planned to go back in 2015, but that didn't happen. Now my good friend really wants to go with me and I think it would be SO FUN. But, due to buying a new house, a trip… Continue reading Longing for Scotland (#sol17 21/31)

Bed Time (#sol17 24/31)
I love to sleep. I like to go to bed earlyish and get up earlyish (only because I have to). I'm kind of cranky if I don't get to bed early, if my sleep gets disturbed, or if I don't get enough sleep. I'm a light sleeper and it's hard for me to sleep in… Continue reading Bed Time (#sol17 24/31)
Back in the Saddle (#sol17 19/31)
I finally got back on my horse today. It's been forever since I've been in the saddle, or at least that's how it feels. It's only been like two or three weeks, but dang I miss it! The weather was perfect. Sunny, cool (a little cold in the shade). Copper was a sweet boy as… Continue reading Back in the Saddle (#sol17 19/31)
The Struggle to Workout (#sol17 15/31)
This week I might finally work out twice. Ha! I have been so laaaazy lately. I just can't seem to get motivated. I hate to blame everything on the dog, but he is a big part of the problem. I can't go to kickboxing unless my husband's schedule allows him to pick up the dog.… Continue reading The Struggle to Workout (#sol17 15/31)
Reading Lately (#SOL17 5/31)
I'm an avid reader. It's not uncommon for me to read five books on Thanksgiving vacation or a dozen in a month. But lately that is not the case. Today is March 5th and you know how many books I've read? Brace yourself... Zero. ZERO! Zilch. Nada. I can't even believe it! I'm so disappointed,… Continue reading Reading Lately (#SOL17 5/31)
Horse Soccer (#SOL17 4/31)
I have spent the day in Montgomery at the Alabama Horse Fair surrounded by horses, tack, food, horsey people, and puppies (basically all my favorite things). I've learned some things from clinicians like Stacy Westfall, watched the parade of breeds, and been entertained by trainers like Make Gascon on his fun horse Tito. If you're… Continue reading Horse Soccer (#SOL17 4/31)
3 Items to Pack for Sandals (and 3 to leave at home)
In 2013 my husband and I got married on a beach in Negril, Jamaica. Our eight days in paradise were spent at a Sandals resort. Prior to this trip, I had always eyed their cheesy commercials with mockery. But after only a couple days there, we were hooked. As a matter of fact, we… Continue reading 3 Items to Pack for Sandals (and 3 to leave at home)
Review of our Wedding at Sandals Negril
This is an old review from Trip Advisor (pre blog days) My husband and I just returned from our wedding at Sandals Negril and we absolutely loved it. The resort is very nice (although, as others have said, the rooms could use some updating—which I think they are scheduled for). We traveled with some family… Continue reading Review of our Wedding at Sandals Negril
Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26
Since we don't have kids, my husband and I both have a spare room to ourselves. His is full of dead animals and camo, while mine has two comfy reading chairs, book shelves, and a closet full of memories. Today I felt like remembering. When I opened the doors, I saw these: These are my… Continue reading Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26
The best birthday present #sol16 Day 12
When I was nine years old the Disney Channel was showing a lot of movies with one common element: horses. Like many nine-year-old girls, these beautiful, powerful animals caught my attention. From Dark Horse to Wild Hearts Can't be Broken, I was obsessed. I wanted to ride horses, read about horses, watch more movies about horses,… Continue reading The best birthday present #sol16 Day 12
