Had a good day!  Seems like I laughed all day.

I worked thru lunch to order to make it to the ring when mere was giving a leadline lesson.  I was working and my computer froze, spluttered and died.  Our sys admin goes “I fixed this yesterday and it took like 3 hours!”  LOL  Score!  I went and rode.

Cook is pasture mates with Elvis now and seems to be calmed by him.  Duly is a young gelding that has also been added to the mix.  Makes things easier when Elvis is being ridden so Cook won’t be pacing the pasture.

Pat: “Aw.  Does Cookie like Duly”?

Crystal:  “Not really.  She pretends he doesn’t exist but if he came over to her and made her acknowledge him, she would prolly kick his arse”

So anyway, I won’t bore any faithful blog readers (all 3 of u …  not including my mom who has stopped reading this, apparently I’m boring to even the woman who gave birth to me) with a play by play of what we did.

Cook was awesome.  She has the best canter.  We were gonna jump around but we only went over a couple.   I was just having fun cantering around, circling around Mere’s lesson and Pat in the ring.  Cook is ultra-sensitive… she responds on a DIME.  the bestest ever.

I went back to work and my computer was still locked but it came back up.  :-)  Perhaps it should freeze every Fri afternoon when it’s 67 out.

nothing much tonight.  Went to BB for my sis’s b-day present.  Her birthday party/sleepover/zillion kids running around is this weekend.   I’m tired so I turned in at 845pm

**im an extremely early riser … posting this now since I’m up at 530am.  Upton knows this cause in the summer we have to negotiate riding times.  I want to ride at like some “un-Godly” hour like 8am and College student Upton shoots for like 11am.  Usually we meet somewhere in the middle after I repeatedly call her to wake up.
