Retail therapy for the horsey set

Is it time to go yet? I wanna ride.

However, because it's been raining, I also need to get to the Evil Empire this evening to pick up mud boots. The muck boots (neoprene type) I have make me just miserable and I hate them, so I am getting a new set of plain rubber boots. I really ought to get the plain black and green kind for $18.


But ... DOTS! I love dots! My inner three-year-old is throwing a fit about wanting DOTS. :) But they're six dollars more.



The killer in all of this is that I technically have the money to buy Rev a light turnout, which she needs. But if I do that, I'll have $20 to put in the gas tank of my Dodge Ram 1500. Which won't get me far. So I had better be responsible and squash my inner horse-indulger-and-worrier: Rev is NOT out there freezing to death. She is a HORSE, and horses have winter coats. She can wait until the 14th for a light blanket. YES SHE CAN, self. It's far better to have the gas to get to work to earn the money for a blanket and to get myself out to the barn to put a warm wool cooler on her before I groom her so her little self can be warm. ;)


EDITED TO ADD: Ah, screw it. I'm getting the dots. The little teehee! I'll get every time I wear them is worth six dollars.

  1. Whee!! Dots. Did you buy online or in person?

  2. In person. It's on my way home, and I wanted instant gratification. I also wanted some sweatshirts, but they didn't have the ones I wanted in the price range and weight I wanted. So I got a flu shot instead.

  5. I'm in town more than I'm not.... at least until December. Coincidentally I'm not available next weekend, but the following week (after Tuesday) I'm free...
