Christmas, Fitness, and New Year's Resolutions

Hello everyone! I hope that you all had a great Christmas, and got everything you wanted.

Christmas for me was great. The highlights were a headstall, a kindle, a reading pillow, some hiking boots, and a bunch of horse books. Including William Fox-Pitts autobiography, which is pretty amazing (I am reading it now).

I have been working on my fitness lately, especially as Christmas feasts approach. My family is celebrating on Sunday, so that is why I haven't had my share of a feast yet... :)

I have quite a few new year's resolutions to live up to for 2014. Maintaining a better routine, practicing more piano, studying more, becoming a better rider, etc. It's going to be a busy year for me!

Well, that's all for today folks. Goodnight.

Christmas break, Riding, and more Christmas

Hey everyone. I hope you are all doing well.

Today marks the beginning of my Christmas break. Finals week is finally over, and I am eager to catch up on some sleep, cleaning, blogging, reading, writing, and horseback riding (mostly sleep though). I do plan to study and workout throughout break, though, so I'll be busy most of the time.

Horseback riding is going well. I rode Apollo and another arab Wednesday. I am really, really proud of Apollo's accomplishments on that one ride alone. I rode him at a walk to the end of the driveway and back, and even walked through a huge puddle of water. Not to mention, the entire driveway was covered in snow and ice, and he was absolutely fantastic. He is going to be an amazing horse.

I have yet to do any Christmas shopping. In fact-I don't plan on doing any. I am a sucker for homemade gifts because 1.) I am cheap and trying to save money as it is and 2.) I enjoy making them, and I think that they mean a lot more if they don't come in plastic.

That's all for today folks. I have a piano lesson tomorrow, so I need to get to sleep now.

Finals, The Carolina's, and Snow Rides

Hey everyone. Meghan here.

It's that time of the year again... Finals. Yup, it's finals week for me (and I think a lot of other people).  Ugh. Since this is my first final ever (I was homeschooled before public school and this is my first year), I am absolutely freaking out. I have been studying for at least 3-4 hours a day, mainly in history, math, and science. I really hope I get a good score. In fact-it's not even an option in this household.

I have decided that I want to move to North or South Carolina when I am older, after I finish Medical School. I have always envied people who live there, and I love the weather in North Carolina. So I'll probably move to North Carolina, trusting that nothing stops me.

Yesterday, I had the first snow ride of the winter. I love riding in the snow, and there is nothing quite like walking in a fresh pasture of snow. *happy sigh* Oh, winter, how I love you so. :)

That's all for today, folks.

Babysitting, Medical School, and Bunnies

Hello everyone.

Today I had to babysit my younger siblings, while my parents went Christmas shopping. I absolutely love having the house to myself, or at least semi to myself. So I thought I would get some things done today... Haha, that's a funny joke Meghan. I've been blogging almost all day. Yeah, I'm unproductive (at least I did my homework and some surveys to earn money)...

As some of you may know, my dream in life is to attend medical school, and become a doctor of some sort. Right now, I want to be an ER physician. I have been studying my butt off to get good grades, but the real party starts next year, when I'm in high school. Anyways, thought I would throw that out there because I love talking about my future.

Bunnies; you gotta love them. In fact, I'm holding one right now. Her name is Paris, and she is a 5 month old lion head. She is black, brown, and white, and is overall a drop dead gorgeous bun. I wish I could show her, but lion heads are not a recognized breed, so I probably can't. I really want to get involved in 4-h next year, with possibly horses and calves, and maybe my bun. If I can't do horses and/or calves, then I will try to show my bunny.

That's all for today, folks.

Clogged ears, snow storms, and bake sales

Hey everyone. I hope you are all having a fantastic winter so far, because I certainly am.

Except for when I woke up this morning, and my right ear was clogged. It doesn't hurt, it just feels weird...

I also woke up to even more snow this morning! I didn't go riding yesterday, like I was supposed to, because of the snow in our driveway. Times like this call for a jacked up truck. ;P

I have decided to host a Christmas bake sale this month, up until Christmas, to raise some money for a horse. I have been having these bake sales for about 3 years now, specifically to raise money for my very own horse, since my parents refuse to put any money in for it. Well, that's okay, because I think if I work for every single penny of it, then I'll appreciate it more. All I can do is save, save, and save some more for the day that I will have my own horse.

That's all folks, I might post later.

Snow days, finals, and soup

Hey everyone. I hope you are all well. It snowed overnight here, and is snowing right now! I love snow. :)

It's a snow day, so no school. Last night I made myself a huge to-do list, which is coming along nicely. I'm taking a break, though, to post on all my blogs (that was on my list too).

Things are going well here in this small town. Finals are in less than two weeks, and I am kind of nervous... I haven't received a study guide yet, so I hope I get them by next Monday. I am a nerd if you haven't noticed yet.

Well, that's all for today folks. I'm off to eat some soup and bake some cookies.
