but who ARE you?

thanks to kazzy_cee for the 2025 questions! 

1/1 The first day of the new year – do you have anything special to look forward to this coming year?

there are a lot of special things to look forward to in 2025! horse time, dressage shows (i hope), a trip to canadia, and paying off debt. 

1/2 Day two of the new year - have you eaten all the goodies you bought for the Christmas/holiday festivities yet?

we had more or less cleared out all the goodies from the house by 12/26 — by 1/2, we had replenished with healthy choices. 

1/3 The Danish/American comedian and pianist, Victor Borge was born on this day in 1909. Are you familiar with his comedy style?

victor borge was a favorite of mine when i used to download old radio shows. very talented and funny fellow. :) 

and more from maju01 by way of a website i'll link at another time. 

1/1 When was the last time you tried something new?

on the 21st we did a solstice celebration — first time doing something that elemental. 

1/2 Who do you sometimes compare yourself to?

hrm. right now i'd say i compare myself most to other ladies in my wl group — am i doing as well as they are and, if not, what are they doing that can help me? i guess when i compare myself to anyone else and find myself lacking, i try to figure out how to REASONABLY better myself. 

1/3 What’s the most sensible thing you’ve ever heard someone say?

"watch their feet." — my friend teresa. :) basically, watch what people do instead of what they say. 

she is also the one who would say "god don't like ugly" which always made me happy with the wisdom of those words.

* so misty is NOT coming home tomorrow like i had hoped. SADNESS. the trainer is flying out super early tomorrow morning and will be gone for a week. next weekend she's flying out again, so we'd have to do friday...but kid's getting her wisdom teeth extracted on tuesday, so i'm a little uncomfortable leaving her alone for the day. as of right now, we'll be picking her up on the 19th....let's just hope spring comes by then. (ha. ha ha ha.)

while i'm disappointed, she's still getting trained by fancy dressage riders, so why complain about that?
