I am covered in horsehair and dust....

And it is WONDERFUL!!!!

Okay, now I can finally tell ya's...it's official.

We own another horse. He'll be here by midnight, I believe. We're leaving to go get him in a little bit. It is kinda odd to do this so late, but the lady we're getting him from and the guy who is trailering him here for us both had time around 10:00pm to do it, so...whatever works.
Eric (mostly) and I just got done putting his stall together, getting it bedded and all the buckets and the hay rack filled and ready.
He's an Appaloosa, starting to lose his sight a bit, about 15 or so years old, about 15.2 or 16 hands high and gorgeous. He's got a great attitude and personality and....I can hardly believe any of it.

The coincidences are astounding with this horse. First off, he's an App gelding who happens to be visually impaired. My first horse (not pony) was an App gelding and my last horse was an App who was visually impaired. His current mommy and I have the same first name. The guy who is bringing him here for us is named ANDY!!! Even his name is a pisser...Now, it's a known fact that I think snow is evil and should be outlawed, right? Well, his name is Snowstorm and he's called Snow for short. Now, I'm either gonna call him Storm or just think up something completely different, liiiike 'Stunningly gorgeous hunka horse' or something....ooohhhh...how 'bout "Hitman"? Or, Beautiful Roan Exciting Thing...then I can call him Bret, for acronym (as opposed to 'for short')...lol. Hell...it'll come to me.

In the meantime, I'm beginning to wonder who I've turned into...a car that's legal and runs AND this wonderful horse, all in less than a week. This kinda stuff doesn't happen to me. Much. And, the idea that I'm probably gonna get run over by a bus now, hasn't even crossed my mind. Much. (lol)

AND, Jason found the one Glamour Shot photo I really wanted to find so I can put it on here. It's a newer picture, lighter and lots closer up. He said it's in the mail, so when it gets here, it'll join the others and be sent to visit Paul so he can do 'that thing he does' and then I can post 'em.

Okay...question. If you can sing Albert's song that's being rehearsed toward the beginning of 'Birdcage', have ya maybe seen it a few too many times? How about if you can scream with him each time he does it?
Cause I can. I hear that dumb song even when the movie isn't on. I'll be hearing this melody in my head, start humming it and finally catch myself singing the few lyrics he actually gets through. I'm starting to worry me.
I do find it oddly comforting though, that the movies I'm memorizing dialouge from have changed from movies like 'Billy Jack' and 'The Godfather' to 'Birdcage' and 'Clueless'. Not that I've forgotten any of the lines from the old ones, but at least these are less violent and shit. Right? *crickets(laughing out loud)*

Aaanyway...I've gotta get ready to get going, so...
Peace.
P.S. For the millionth time today...
THANK YOU, GOD!!!!!!
