Now that I'm pregnant, "preggo or preggers". I actually had to tell someone here at work to stop calling me "preggers". I HATE those words so much!!!

I just finished Beneath the Marble Sun by John Shors. Really good historical fiction about India.

Next up is The Distant Hours by Kate Morton. I've read her other two books are really enjoyed...

That was really sweet - she sounds like an amazing person.

My MIL passed away about 4 years ago. Well, she would have been my MIL - she passed away before we got married.

I had never gotten...

Another vote for the Honda. My brother drove his Accord to 250k, my husband had a Civic that went to over 200 before he had to do anything besides regular maintenance.

At my company, we've...

We play - I got the Europe version for Christmas last year. I love it - for just the two of us or with a small group. I didn't know you could play online...

- Survive pregnancy and childbirth ;)
- Find time to ride again with a newborn - get the horsie and me back into good enough shape that we can canter around a 3' course again.
- Get back to my...

The book "Superfoods" really changed how I eat. I try to eat as many "superfoods" as possible and eliminate as much processed food as I can. I like that it isn't really a diet - just a healthier...

Cute! I think he'll make someone a very nice little hunter. He looks like he has a great attitude. And quit putting yourself down!! I think you give him a really good, confident ride and do a...

Roommates were not for me - I LOVED living alone. I did it though college and for a bit after, then finally got my own small apartment.

I was worried I'd be lonely, but I found myself doing so...

To the person who suggested Carin Terriers, I would second that. My aunt and uncle have a 9 year old male and just adopted a 3 year old female. They both have super temperaments, are very...

I actually won a Kindle at my husband's Christmas party a few weeks ago. I'm giving it a try, but I don't think I'll switch.

I love using the library and like you, I love browsing the book store...

- Super fat, shiny horses are a picture of health
- Arabs = hot
- That all hay in a round bales is moldy and bad

And I second pretty much everything else mentioned.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your lovely boy.

I've had 2 thoroughbreds with those huge TB shoulders - especially my current one who has been a nightmare to fit! I think a saddle fitter is a great idea, but here is some that worked for me.
...

I would also go the route of finding a used Natural. As far as the seat wearing out, I've seen 15+ year old Beval saddles that still look great. And you can always get the seat replaced or repaired...

I think restaurant gift certificates are always appreciated. I did a wine of the month club once which went over well. Sometimes you can overhear or see something they need - like I got my trainer...

My mom never used one for me. I held her hand and walked nicely or sat in a stroller. But when my wild little brother was born she said she had to use one. The kid could get himself out of a...

Just wow...

Agreed. My gray stayed that pretty dappled color for about a year and a half. Now he's 14, fleabitten and covered in melanomas. Love him just the same... but it is something to consider.

Do...

I don't think newborns are cute at all. Whenever someone emails a picture of their just born babies still half covered in gunk, I just think it is gross. I think they stay kind of scary until a few...

Something like this Amerigo might be nice. I've sat in an Amerigo and was pretty impressed:

I've heard mixed reviews on Ovation saddles, but they...

I've heard that as well - something about the saddle distributing your weight evenly and that doesn't happen bareback. But, IMO I don't think you will cause your horse any problems riding bareback...

Never. My horse would look at me like I'm crazy. I don't think he's been lunged in over 5 years. But he's pretty mellow and partially retired and on turnout 24/7.

In his younger years, we had...

This might be a good place to start:

The Stamford is definitely one of Beval's lower end saddles. However, in that price range I think it is one of the best saddles you can get. I think it is a better overall saddle than an HDR or...
