The stable and my foot

Today's been kinda sucky. First, my phone alarm went off at 8 like I'd set it to, then I tried waking Daddy up at around 8:45 so he could take me to the stable. It was only after I got out of bed that I realized how much more my foot hurts today than it did yesterday. It's much worse today. Yesterday, I could put weight on it only if I was standing, but I couldn't walk right on it. Today, I can't even stand on it. It hurts SO bad I want to cry. No shit. And, of course, no one gives a flying fuck. I don't know if they think I'm kidding or what, but I'm damn sure not even joking about it.

So, when I got to the stable, I had to go out in the pasture and get Gypsy. I brought her out and my ankle kept hurting, so I was limping while I walked her through the stable. I let her graze as I went to get her tack. The poor baby had a runny nose again. Talk about ew. lol. So, after I got her all tacked up, I mounted her and walked her towards the jumps. Of course, since she's so old, I can't jump her, but I can dream, right? Anyways, I rode for about an hour before my foot got the best of me and made me stop riding. That really pissed me off. Rain can't get me off a horses back, but my damned foot can. >_<

It's still hurting SO bad. I had to do dishes a few minutes ago, and I wanted to just stop, come to my room, and cry because of the pain. I'm not even kidding. Talk about "ow."

The day after Christmas

Today was a pretty good day, I guess. I woke up at around 8:30, then I didn't want to get up, so I just went back to sleep until about 12:20. Then, I got up, and first thing Daddy said to me was "Ashley, get some shoes on and go out back and start hauling wood." I was like WTF. Haha. He cut down about three trees and cut them up into sections because we do need firewood for the New Years party, which should be a BLAST, as always. Maybe this year it will be even more fun because one of the guys is bringing a camper. xD

I was really hoping that Josh would call me today, but he hasn't. What a dick. >_< We just brought the ferrets in from outside. They had so much fun. It was great playing with them.

Christmas presents

It's 10:25A.M. We're going to be leaving for Roy's house here in about thirty minutes, if not less, so I'll need to make this fast. I just wanted to do this before I forgot and got lazy later when I end up remembering. :]

 Anyways, I got a new digital camera, BREAKING BENJAMIN'S NEW CD(I am in LOVE with BB), Sims 3, a couple Paint-By-Numbers, Rock Band 2, a runner (a rug), which I put by my bed, a couple books, an Aeropostale shirt, a new computer chair, a new drawing book, Something, Something, Something Darkside (the Family Guy version of Star Wars), and some horse thing to go up on my wall. I'm excited. :D

The stable

Things at the stable are going great. I'm going to be a member here shortly, and I'm so excited. That means I'll be able to get horses out whenever I want without having to worry about a damn thing. :D

The picture is Max, a Saddlebred, I believe. I've never ridden him, but I would absolutely treasure the opportunity, if I ever came across it. I apparently have yet to prove my true riding ability to the owner of Max. I ride his dam, Gypsy, every Sunday when I go to the stable. Unfortunately, Max is a bit of a hothead, so things would probably get irritating for me when Max would happen to decide he didn't want to listen anymore.

I'm really going to work on getting on Max. He's a great horse, but he's a bit shy. I'm sure he'll get over that once he gets to know me. He can be a real sweetheart, though.

New riding opportunity

SO. Robby has this friend, Joni. Joni has three horses or so (I may be corrected at a later time, but I need to go to her place to see). She's a really, really nice woman. She's got two Quarter Horses and a Paint.Those are the only ones I know of for a fact right now. ANYWAYS.
I may be going to her place this coming weekend so she can see me ride and how I handle her horses. I'm really, really excited for a new riding opportunity. It'd make my weekends so much more enjoyable.

Believe me, riding on Sundays is nice, it really is, but ONLY on Sunday? Pft. Please. I only get to be at the stable for three or four hours. That's not enough riding for me. About ten hours at least is good enough. And preferably, ten hours a day would work wonderfully for me. :]

Christmas at last. And I'm somewhat happy.

Well, it's 1:22 in the morning. Christmas morning, that is.I'm happy that it's finally here. And guess what? Josh still hasn't called me. Not since last Thursday, anyways. I'm starting to re-think our relationship again. I'm not that happy anymore.... I just wish he'd see that and take charge of the situation and at least pretend that he gives a flying fuck about how I feel about it... I don't know if he's really trying or not, but I'd highly appreciate if he could at least call me and tell me "Merry Christmas, baby. I love you." Those six simple words would make me so happy. But no. Ugh!

Daddy home, net back.

Well, now that Daddy is home, I've gotten my net back. Thank God. I've waited about three weeks for his slow ass to tell me how to get it back, but he never did, so I had to wait until he came home for Christmas to get him to do it. Oh, well. It's done now, and I'm happy. He even brought the PS3 this time, so we can get some Rock Band 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on. I'm excited. :D 

He even brought his ferrets, Zim (the new one) and Gir. I'm excited to have them both here. They're both a hassle, but they're so damn adorable, that makes up for it.

In the picture, the one looking at the camera is Zim. The one sleeping is Gir. Awww. :D

This one

I can't really say how ATC was, seeing as how I only went in to let Scott know I was there. After I made my appearance, I returned to the bus, where I decided to go ahead and do my SAQs for History, which are due tomorrow. So I sat on the bus the whole time until someone from the school called the bus driver and told her to get all of us on the bus because they were going to be loading buses early today because of the bad weather, and the potential tornado and whatnot, and they wanted all buses off the road by 4.
So, we went back to school and I stood around for about ten to twenty minutes before the buses finally got there, then I went and got on and called Daddy and asked how the weather is (since he's in South Carolina, I wanted to see how the weather's doing up there) and he said it was raining. Wow. Heh.


I have my ring ceremony next Thursday at 7. I can't wait to finally get my ring. :] I hope it's as pretty as I'm imagining. At the ceremony, we have to dress up. So I'd rather slit my throat than be seen in public with a damn dress, but Mama wants me to go, and I have to wear the dress.


Daddy said that I can hang out with Josh on New Years. :D Unfortunately, though, I also have a curfew, which I'm working on getting him to reconsider. The curfew right now is 2, but I think he should just let me stay the night in Statesboro with Josh because no one wants to be driving around at 2 in the morning on NEW YEARS to take their girlfriend home. Ugh.
