Let's see if I can't actually keep posting in it for more than one week at a time, shall we? Anyway...I've no idea of what to write in here now, as I have no desire to complain about anything at the moment, or even talk about "my day". Well...I might as well just write about my week as I've nothing better to do. Well, Friday my cousin's AJ and Johnny came over (I haven't seen them in 5 years or so), then Heather and Ryan came over. We saw Austin Powers 3, which was pure comic genious. All in all, it was great...go see it...now. AJ likes Heather (or rather, thinks she's hot), and he kept getting mad at Ryan when he put his arm around me. Which was funny, although he was being kind of mean to Ryan...my wonderful cousin. Saturday, I took Heather's place at Amanda's birthday party, which was actually pretty fun. Heather, Amanda, and myself made pictures with those BloPen things, it was funny...as my picture looks demented. Amanda made one for me with a male and female with a heart in the middle, and in the heart wrote "Megan and Ryan Forever". Gee, don't I feel special? Everyone has been saying things like that...but oh well, it really isn't that big of a deal (can anyone guess why?...or something). Then, Heather spent the night, and left earlier today. This coming week, I'm helping Agnes out with another Pony Camp, and hopefully test out my new Dressage saddle. YES! I'm excited, so happy...and excited. I just really hope I get to ride Chance, as there are some new things I want to try out. I'm planning on CANTERING *eep*, and attempting extensions at the posting trot. We've never done extensions in any of my lessons, but I think I can manage it if I just concentrate on what I'm doing, and keep the beat of my posting to the rythm of the trot I want. Hence, slower posting, the horse has to match me, therefore lengthening his stride. Now, I've only to actually do this...should prove interesting. But, yes...that's all for now...I'm off to do...something else.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3670249-79568775?l=blackabyss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3670249/posts/default/79568775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3670249/posts/default/79568775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackabyss.blogspot.com/2002_07_28_archive.html#79568775' title=''/><author><name>Meg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13727062097387577626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
