Why couldn't I just settle for being beautiful....

Did I really NEED to be smart too?!!? I am headed of to take my Constitutional Law exam in 3 hours and I must say that I more stressed out about this open-everything test than I was about my closed-book, memorize everything verbatim Evidence exam. Oh well, I prayed to get into law school. It pays the cost to be the boss!!! Pray for me and wish me luck!!!

No, I am an equestriENNE!

I have been a bad, bad blogger and deserve a definite time out. The problem is that I don't have time for time out or blogging, but I have been making time to keep my stress levels low by keeping up with horseback riding. I LOVE horses! My love affair started when I was a little girl visiting my uncle's ranch in Montana. Ever since then, I just sink deeper and deeper in love. There is nothing like going for a ride at a good past trot with my hair flowing in the wind.

Since relocating for law school, I have found an awesome place to ride and have been browsing for new horse related goodies *tsk tsk* to add to my collection! Of course, first on my list is a monogrammed helmet cover! I love this one :

My big guy can match his mama with this matching monogrammed halter!

I looooove the ribbon on this saddlepad... and it is only $22!!!

This is a lovely show saddlepad:

And of course something for me! Isn't this pearl bit necklace cute?

Horses = Love!

Tata for now friends!!

so... ummm... yeah.... shopping?

I have absolutely NO idea what to blog about today!!! My mind is stuck on shopping! I am home this weekend visiting my parents and I am so happy to be here not just to see them, but because we have the best shopping places ever!!! I love my hometown!!! I keep trying to convince Biff to look for a patent attorney job here because I could never imagine leaving!!! Anywho, I am thinking of all the places I want to go shopping before I leave on Sunday, but I leave you with this fabulous preppy site!!! http://www.2preppygirls.com/

Apartment Dwellers!

Oh yeah! I found a great apartment idea website that I wanted to share! Check it out: www.apartmenttherapy.com

I hate apartment shopping!!!!!

Usually I enjoy looking for a new apartment, but since I have moved to small town , nowhere I CANNOT find a decent apartment! Apartments here are so expensive and poorly managed! It is awful! Currently I live in a large luxury complex, which isn't luxury at all. It is just better than everything else! I also live in a two bedroom apt., but next year I have to move to a one bedroom because I will be living alone. I am happy to be living alone, but not happy spending nearly $1000 on a one bedroom apartment by staying where I am now. While this is expected in larger cities, it is NOT acceptable in a small town!!! I don't get it!! I know this is a college town, but geez, the population is less than 100,000 and it drops down to half during the summer months!

Unfortunately, I think that I will continue to fork over the cash to stay at this complex. I have been looking around and everywhere else is disgusting or poorly taken care of! SIGH!!! At least here I have my own washer and dryer, dishwasher, huge rooms, balcony (that I can actually put furniture on), internet, cable, pool, etc. So it is a great place to live and I guess I gotta pay the cost.... I am excited about upgrading some of my furniture and work on my storage solutions! I was at target the other day and I found plastic shoeboxes at 5pk for $4.00!!! That is a great price!!! I have been wanting to put all of my shoes in plastic shoeboxes forever. I love my shoes and I don't buy cheap shoes, so I take very good care of them and always keep them in the boxes. As you can imagine, pulling cardboard shoeboxes in and out can cause the boxes to fall apart over time. But nevermore!!! I have a fabulously organized closet (at least as far as my shoes are concerned!!!) My plan is to get a closet that looks like this.

I have way more stuff than this and I don't know how I am going to pull this off, but I am an organization freak! I love things to be organized and have its own space. So my shoeboxes are like Christmas!!!! I will post pics of my awesome closet when I finally figure this out!!!

There is a wedding in the future!!!

But NOT mine... sigh... One of my best girlfriends is getting married!!!! Her fiance called me this morning and asked me what kind of ring she wanted, purchased it today and proposed to her tonight! I am so very excited for her!!! However, Biff and I have been talking about marriage, but just recently he told me that it would be at least 2 years before we get engaged... and I don't want to rush him but it is a little discouraging. Especially since just 2 months ago I told him that if Aforementioned Friend gets engaged before me that I was gonna be really mad at him. And here we are. Of course I am not upset with him and I didn't expect them to be getting engaged so soon, but it makes me a lilttle impatient. Patience is not one of my strong points. I try to be patient, but oh, it is so hard for me. I know that waiting patiently is the best, but I fear that the oncoming wedding plans of someone so close to me will make me restless.

On a side note, one of my other best friends is moving to Cali tomoro! I will miss her so!
