Guilty confessions
| January 9, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I let my bird, Conner, sleep with me the other night. I didn’t turn in a scholarship application this year because I was too tired and wanted to go to bed at 8pm. I didn’t write down the rather big spoonful of icecream I had in the myfittnesspal diary the other night I’m secretly proud […] more

Can you tell that I’m going through my different subject blocks and catching my readers up on those things in vet school that I think are cool are think you might want to know?

Another RnT!

On the second day of Christmas….
| December 19, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
….my true love gave to me! 4 broken bones, 3 cracked ribs, 2 bucking fits, and a new home for Faaaarrrrllleeeyyyyyy. Just kidding. In a rare moment of lucidity I decided the better plan was to turn out and then lunge the horse I haven’t ridden in 4 (6?) weeks and ride tomorrow. So instead, […] more
