Ready...set...BLOG!!!

I'm thinking this whole blog endeavor is very much overdue. I thought about starting one when Kristen started one, oh, positively ages ago, and...um, didn't. Then, I seriously considered setting one up when Debbie made one, but, er, I didn't. And then I found out (months ago) that Kirsten, Heather, and Jessica all have blogs, and decided I very much had to start one of my own, but I...ah, got sidetracked, and didn't.

But Look! I am here! I have Crossed the Line! I am part of the Blogger crowd! Right?

Right.

So. News. Um. Well. Weeeelllll........

I won a saddle last weekend! Not that anyone is particularly interested in that, except it was a very expensive saddle, which, upon resale, gave (will give) me the funds to buy my own car! Now that is exciting! No more borrowing my dad's grungy old Explorer. No more squabbling with my mother over the nifty new Outback. No more staring in dismay at the only other vehicle at my disposal - the huge, horrible, no good, very bad Ford F350 with oversized tires and no friggin' turning radius. No more! For I shall soon have a car of my own!!!

Naturally, a saddle won't buy a very expensive car no matter how fine the leather grain is - but there is something satisfactory in being able to say, "I can buy my own car, with my own money, and I don't have to rely on anyone to get it."
