Hello everyone!

Becky, enjoy those blinds! They sound nice.

How has everyone been? I've been busy, which is why I haven't been on, but clearly I need to change that! I've missed everyone. Christmas was great, and now I'm gearing up for the new year. The Fellow has been home for a couple of weeks, and it has been good to have him around. He leaves on Sunday, and I'm already missing him. I'll be flying back and forth to Chicago to see him until he graduates, and hopefully we'll settle someplace once he does. It will probably be somewhere in MA or North Carolina.

Other than travels, nothing much has changed. Still have the same job, I finished up a business class this semester that was a lot of fun, and I'm trying to plan for a trip to Poland in March, if finances hold out. (I've never been outside of the country if you don't count Canada)

I've been trying to get out to ride when I can. I go to my trainer's and hack around and trail ride. With some of my health problems, I've been wiped out, and I've really taken it easy with the ponies, but I'm starting to feel better. I had my first lesson in a loong time last week, and it was good for me, but I felt it later!

I hope that everyone has a very merry new year!

Glad to hear from you and all in all, it sounds like you’re just happy as a clam :~)

Well hey there stranger! Glad to hear that Santa Claus was good to you and that you and your beau are doing well. Also glad to hear that you’re feeling better. I was real worried about you there for a while. Getting back on the ponies will be good for your mental health too. If I go too long without riding I begin to get pretty cranky.
