Cake is good.

Ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, however, beats all.

Mmm....Dairy Spleen....

But there IS one thing that beats our their ice cream cake:
Tillamook ice cream coated in caramel Bailey's. Ambrosia for the gods, I tell you.

I just like me some plain chocolate chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate syrup on top topped with chocolate whipped cream & with chocolate sprinkles on top. Who says I have a chocolate addiction?

But now I'm hungry and i have no clue what I want to eat. I hate cooking breakfast foods and I'm getting tired of Peanut Butter & Jelly sammiches. Might have roast biff sammich instead. For dinner I'm making a turkey loaf! Yummy! Anyone want a slice?

I miss my horsie.... is it Sunday yet? I have a big competition and I'm excited and kinda nervous...

[AFPheonix]

Gah. I have a pinto show 2 weekends from now and I'm having a hard time getting up to the trainer's barn where my mare is because I'm dragging my BIL everywhere I go and his allergies are terrible.
At least when I go to the family farm to work on the 2 year old colts he can go to the farmhouse to stay out of the dust. Sucks to be him when the farmer d00d gets that field baled and brought over, though, cuz he gets to help me put it up.

I've never had turkey roll.... Not a big chocolate fan though...

Horsies... I can deal with that

Ride a cock horse to banbury cross...

[IDrinkaRum]

to see a fine lady upon a white horse
with bells on her fingers
and bells on her toes
she shall have music wherever she goes!


That's one of my favorite childhood poems. Plus, back in the late 1970's I used to live outside of Banbury & my sister was born at the hospital in Banbury.

Cool. That was one of mine, too; mostly for the mention of horses. I was horse mad as a kid. XD

A cock horse is an extra horse used to help a team of horses or a single horse pull a cart up a hill.

[IDrinkaRum]

LNS - I never knew what a cock horse was. Thanks for the info! Now that I have learned something new for the day, I can go to bed happy.

Now, I have to make up my mind about what I'm going to clean tomorrow: Dining room or living room?

I didn't know this, either. Yay! I learned something new, too!

I can't stop thinking of horsies... I have three weeks off from competing... which is good 'cause a mental reprieve is in order...but it's so much fun, I think I'll be really excited when it starts up again!

The one hunter circuit I rode in, my horsie and I are Reserve Champion! Yay!

Back to dressage...and keeping fingers crossed for dressage awards... and then back to more hunters at the end of August!

Rum- you should clean the living room. That's a good place to sit down and enjoy the results of your work when you're done!

I have a three day show coming up next weekend with my mare. It's my first show of the season. I'm lazy, I know. Actually, someone came out to look at her for purchase this weekend. It would have been kind of funny to sell her now. I guess I could have taken one of the training horses in instead to use the stall....

And the 2 year old I'm training is so gosh darn cute. He's learning how to sidepass. He's gonna be a darn good loper, too. Already pretty balanced and slow-legged.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Glad to be of service. XD The cock horse was led to the bottom of the hill after helping, and was paid for by the town. Banbury probably had a steep hill that needed a cock horse, hence the rhyme.

I used to ride a horse that had been trained to pace; I used to make him do it on purpose whenever we had to ride without stirrups or bareback cuz it was so much more comfortable than regular trotting. XD

[IDrinkaRum]

I've never had a horsie. I have ridden ponies when I was younger at like petting zoos and stuff. And I love to ride the Carousel at whatever park I'm at. But no horsie riding for me.

Ah well .... I have to eat breakfast & then get dressed & then go to K-Mart for birthday party supplies.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I never had one either... my meanypants parents always refused to buy me one for Christmas! *shakes fist* XD
