Warning: This is My 299th post! Look Out!

What will I bring you for my 300? While you chew on that, take a look at a photo of me and Dolly, my mother in law's Palomino. I look funny, because my shirt blends in with the hitching post in the background, and because I am fat. *laughs* I wasn't posing for this picture. I was talking to Alice while she was playing with her RAZR phone. I didn't know she captured me!


That is her house in the background, and you can see some of Bruce's toys in the yard. They have three acres, quite a bit of it is in the back, toward where I am facing. The fence is finally up. I get to take care of Dolly while they are gone; she gets outs with grated carrot and raw egg now, twice a day, plus hay. She loves to dig through the hay for the good stuff, when she snorts it sounds more like a honk, and she doesn't like sugar cubes, apples or carrots, which is why we are grating them and mixing them into her oats. She isn't used to being alone because she spent the last few years with the same horses and she gets antsy and lonely.

Larry's been riding her and said she is a bit rough because her toes are too long. They farrier the neighbor uses will come out on the same schedule for her. I was a little scared of her at first, and I told her so, but she seems to like me now. She is very interested in Brandy and she likes to smell her head! Dolly is named after Alice's idol, Dolly Parton. Alice loves Dolly Parton and got to go to her concert last year. Alice said the people in the good seats didn't deserve them; they were not excited enough to be there, lol! She plans to take us all to Dollywood someday!


We are still planning to buy a new couch from Ikea, but we have more money than we thought we would, so we can get a better, bigger couch. The first one is a leather sofa that Chantz really likes. It only seats three, but we can save up some money and buy the matching loveseat later. The sofa costs about $700.


This sofa has a fabric cover that is removable and washable. It is in two pieces, a chaise and loveseat combined into oneand it has attached tables. I prefer this one, but can go either way. I think this one was around $750, or so. We like the leather for the durability factor, but the removable covers are a plus, too. We are undecided. I can't wait to take a trip to the Houston Ikea!

Candace tagged me for a book meme.
You do this:

1) Find the nearest book
2) Open to page 123
3) Type lines 6-8 of said book
4) Tag three others

So here goes:

"Set the bowl and mirror down and hold both of your hands, palms down, over (not touvhing) the bowl, about one inch above the water. Let the vibrations of your body come alive. Open your third eye chakra and..."

I had to cheat a bit because my book had a worksheet on page 123, so I used page 122. I am sure Candace will forgive me? I tag Retarded Rugrat, Jblue, and Diana Crabtree.
