My first award!

Aunt Krissy gave me this award!  Thanks Aunt Krissy!  I’ve never won a blog award before!

So, the rules of the Scrap award say you need to list 10 honest things about yourself.  Here goes!

1. More often than not, I’m a procrastinator.   I usually wait until the last minute to do something then, under stress, jam out a quality product or job.  Don’t know why.  It’s just how I am.  For instance, I’m procrastinating on today’s Training Blog.  It’ll be up today, but not until later.  I know!  Shoulda already had it wrote!  Oh, and I received this award several days ago but didn’t blog about it until now.  It’s still taking me time to write this.

2. I can be a bit of a control freak.  There are days when other people’s driving just wigs me out, because, well, I’m not in control.  And it’s usually when going at a good clip with traffic around.  This can translate over to horses too.  I don’t like not feeling in control so I often chicken out and choose not to canter.

3. I am not a big fan of having my curtains closed.  Must come from the long Alaskan winters, but I prefer letting the sunshine in.  So, don’t be peeping in my bedroom window unless you’re looking for a show!  lol

4. I have developed a love for quality shoes later in life than most women.  Anne Klein, Ariat,Steve Madden to name a few!  However, I rarely get the chance to wear them.  That’ll be changing soon with my Ariats anyways.  The heels, not so much.  But I still love them!

5. Most of my horsey stuff has come off of ebay.  I’m known to be a smart and savvy shopper there, often comparing prices with those in town.  CP calls me “auctionbot1227″ because of this.  However, I always appreciate a good deal and love that I can find blankets for a fraction of in town costs.

6. I can’t stand to have my picture taken.  Honestly, it’s not because I’d rather be behind the camera, but because I never resemble the image of myself that I see in my head.  Yes, I suffer from some low-level body image dysmorphia or whatever it’s called.

7. Whenever I don’t have any money to spend, I find like a gazillion things to buy.  But when I do have money to spend, I can’t make up my mind or I decide against whatever it was I thought I couldn’t live without.  For instance, I just got a $32 paypal refund for something.  I want to spend it, but can’t figure out what I want to spend it on.

8. I’m really having a hard time coming up with 10 things.  After all, I’m pretty open here already.

9. I stopped writing this blog to spend my $32.  I chose a couple wall mountable saddle racks for the new place.  I’m tired of waiting for CP to be around with my truck so I can get a couple eye bolts, some hooks and a 4″x4″ so I can make some cheap ones.  Honestly, when it’s all said and done, the racks I just bought probably cost as much as if I got the supplies to make the cheap, wooden ones.

10. Can I be done now?  I’m kinda out of things to say for now.  Since this is a cop-out, I’ll answer the next 3 honest questions left in the comment section by the first 3 commenters.  To clarify, that’s one question each.
