well today i went to the barn to work. i was suppposed to end work at 12:30, but i didn't have a lesson until after i was done cleaning the stalls, emptying and filling the water buckets and barrels and sweeping the halls because someone was coming to look at one of my most favorite horses, Rembrant, who is GORGEOUS! so the barn had to be presentable, which it always is. today during my lesson i worked on what i had to do for my test when i go to the show thats on the 28th. i cannot wait. so instead of getting done at 12:20 i ended up getting done at 3:00. now my feet hurt. between the cost of the entrance fee and everthing i have to pay for, the total comes up to about 75 dollars, and thats pretty cheap considering that i'm splitting the fees with another girl. so if i used a different horse, i wouldv'e had to pay probably 150.00. so i have to use the money that i get from babysitting for it... which is fine by me. yesterday we went school shopping at Filene's. EVERTHING was on sale. i ended up getting nine shirts, two pairs of pants and one skirt. after that i went over kays house and went swimming. it was pretty fun cuz we watched the Spongebob Squarepants Movie. i like my new clothes. i also can't wait for the 24th. we leaving to take Zach to college in NY. it will be a lot of fun.
