Master Bedroom Before & After

Wow.....is it ever cold outside today! I think it's -17 regular temp. and -36 wind chill. Holy moly cold. I don't feel so bad with the cold this time, the last time we had such cold temps I worried the entire weekend about Danny getting too cold because I don't have a blanket for him. Well, I bought him a blanket so now he should be nice and toasty warm the rest of the winter. It fits him perfectly and he didn't have a problem at all with putting it on. I feel much better knowing he's nice and cozy warm now. :) If I ever remember to bring the camera out I will take some pictures of him in his blanket!

Well the quitting smoking thing didn't work too well, I ended up not quitting! I am however, planning to have another go at it. Only problem is that every time I tell myself I really want to quit I end up wanting to smoke even more. I really feel that I do want to quit, I know it's totally bad for my health and my kids health, I know it stinks, burns my fingers (sometimes) burns my clothes (sometimes) gets in my eyes and burns, gives me ash tray breath, makes my clothes smell terrible, hurts my throat and lungs and so on and so on! So why is it everytime I get it into my head that I really want to quit then pick a date, then when that date comes along I end up not quitting? If any one has any advice I'm all ears! Thanks in advance!

I'm gonna do it....

I've decided to quit smoking cigarettes for good. I've chosen my start date to be tomorrow. I'm going to do it 'cold turkey' so I know it will be very difficult, but I believe I'm ready. Smoking has just become nasty to me and I know it will be good for my health. My wonderful friend Lori is going to be my mentor and support. (Her and gum!) Thanks Lori! :o)

I will update on my progress. Wish me luck!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It's been a long time!

Hi all, I haven't blogged in a long time now. I am still around just very busy lately! Danny is still doing wonderful. He was a little spunky and acting like a knucklehead last week when the weather turned cold all of a sudden. I had a new ferrier out and I thought he was going to break her in half. She's a smaller built woman and he was just kicking and dancing around like a crazy horse. I had never seen him like that before. It really wasn't anything dangerous, he was just pulling away from her and kept moving around a lot and jumping up and even biting, little brat, yep he bit me. No blood or broken bones though so it was ok. He did get a yelling at from me though, he knows better then to do that. He's such a good horse and such a lover that it's hard to stay mad at him at all. It's nice having this cooler fall weather but it sure does put some piss -n- vinager in the horses. :o)

Well that's it for now! I have a lesson tonight so if anything exciting happens I will let ya know!

Oh yeah, the kids are doing fine too! LOL
