“Sara! The fence is right there! What do I do?” cried out Maggie in absolute panic.
Sweaty and sticky, now her legs were covered with damp, itchy, coarse horse hair. The smell of dry dusty hay, damp earth, green grass, and sticky sweat, flooded her nostrils. She leaned in clutching the coarse, dark, mane [...]

Saturdays
Current mood: chill
Category: Life
Can you remember a time when you woke at five thirty am to be ready for the US News and Farm Report? It wasn’t at all that you were interested in the dropping price of pork bellies. It was more about the rush you felt knowing that you’d soon be hearing that [...]

She rode to the elevator to the top trembling the whole way. On many floors she wanted to scream, “Let me off!” but she didn’t. She pressed her back against the wall furthest from the door as possible. It wasn’t because of over crowding at all, but instead she was fairly certain that unless [...]

She asked me.
“Not always a laugh a minute it seems.”
I smiled slowly, sadly
And shrugged a shoulder
And I watched her and replied,
“Where’s your big dreams?
Seems to me we’re both a little jaded.

“But whoever would have guessed
It could be so rough.”

Simple and plain
I keep hearing just tell the story
Keep it simple, make it plain
Don’t add ruffles, don’t add any laces
Just a stripped down model, Plain Jane

Let them choose for themselves
You don’t need to embellish
There’s no need to make it [...]

You say things I know are meant just to hurt me

Grand preparations and rigmarole
All was well til I flushed the toilet bowl
It was quite blue and foamy somewhat like the east coast
I’m still cleaning bubbles [...]
