Came and Gone

That’s Daisy up there… she is one of the three puppies that were born a few weeks ago at the barn I ride at. Now all three of them are gone, all to good homes. I must say I definitely like having puppies out there more than I like them moving away.
I’ve been busy lately, mostly riding and going to horse shows taking photos. Now that the last week and days have arrived before school starts back up, I’m much busier than ever. I’ve been going out to the barn to help out and ride frequently and I’ve been thinking about things I need to pack in order to go back to school. The last three weekends have involved traveling, locally and not-so-locally, for horse show photography and now I’m in that stage where I want my head to just melt out ooze at night.
Because of said desire, I’ve been watching True Blood – a show that a friend and friends of a friend have suggested and have been addicted to it. It’s bad… but at least it’s better than Twilight. I’ve also purchased three Decemberists CDs which I’ve been listening to today with great pleasure.
So as you see, the artistic progression has slowed down a little bit, but I’m still alive, still doing, and still thinking, and creating (in its own way, really). Hope that you few readers out there are having as lovely a time as I am!

Yes, I bought myself a Garmin nüvi 205 today. I will be driving a lot in the next few months (a trip down to Maryland on Tuesday, off to Cleveland and Georgia in August, and probably across Georgia and to Florida during school) so I thought it would offer some serious help.
Although I am a firm believer in bringing maps and written directions along with me… someone telling me where to turn and such is a lot safer than glancing at map instructions frequently behind the wheel.
This and the fact that I could personalize it with The Black Pearl as my vehicle and with an Aussie guy giving me directions, I’m pretty happy. Hopefully, though, I won’t get distracted by the Australian accent telling me where to go, haha. And when I get tired of Aussies, I can always switch the Italiano.
Also, I managed to fix a website (steerhomestead.com) that I’ve been having problems with from the very beginning. I agreed to help my horse trainer build a website for his barn and once I got my own space and bandwidth, I figured the rest wouldn’t be so hard. Well… somehow I managed to spend almost a month getting the website to show up under its own domain name because silly, stupid things kept happening. Nevertheless, it’s up and running now, thank god… and all I have to worry about is editing text and adding photos. HAPPY DAYS!
