Is your Horse IDed?
| April 5, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m in a surprisingly good mood, even though every time I look at the title of this post, I see “Has your Horse Died?” *shudder* My to-do list falls into 2 categories: A. Was put on the list an hour ago and is already done. B. Was put on the list 3 years ago and […] more
Cat Poems
| April 4, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m not sure who the author is of these oh so cute cat Haikus but I thought everyone (including myself could use a break from the Farley lameness drama). These Haikus pair nicely with my “Dear Mr. Kitty” letter post of a few days back. Sent to my Mom from Rick C. You never feed […] more
Minx’s anniversary is tomorrow….
| April 3, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
….and I’m trying to decide a suitable way of paying my respects. Options: A: Sob at inoppertune times so that everyone around you views you as a maniac until you make up some suitable excuse (my contacts…..cutting onions…..) B: Light a candle and read Walter Farley’s “The Black Stallion’s Filly” (for whom she was named)…..and […] more

Yep, a little perspective never hurt. In the realm of things (still assuming this is hocks. Won’t it be “funny” if after all these posts about hocks, it ends up being something else? Like, *shudder* stifle problems? Bad Melinda! think positive!) this is fairly minor. Two weeks after I purchased Farley, she bowed her tendon […] more
Friday’s OCD post
| April 2, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Less OCD, more contemplative. I promise I’m really glad I have a couple of days to think this over. Yes, I wish I knew RIGHT now what’s wrong, but at least it’s giving me time to think and decide and evaluate the “why” behind my decision. First an update on Farley. Yesterday she […] more
This is NOT an OCD post
| April 1, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
In an effort to NOT continue posting a gazillion OCD posts today, I thought I would share my favorite recipie for “OCD times” (such as this). Last night I made my secret comfort food and watched Torchwood season 2 in (almost) its entirety. Drinking copious amount of alcohol, by myself, in an OCD state of […] more
Part 3 of Melinda OCDing
| April 1, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I SWEAR this is my last word on this subject (today). Just did a quick search of the ridecamp archives and I’m alternating between panic and hope and have settled on “neutral” (assuming the issue is hocks…). First of all, it looks like a LOT of horses (arabs doing endurance) are being diagnosised with […] more
