A Horse Is a Horse

My best friend used to have a horse, but she had to put it down because it had a disease that was incurable. That was sooo hard for her, and for me. I mean, she loved this horse. And after that she didn't ride for a long, long time. It was so sad because she'd all but grown up with that horse. But now she's riding at one of the stables around here, so I'm thinking for Christmas I'm going to get her some horse riding apparel. Not sure what I'll get, but I do want to get her something besides a gift card, you know? I think she'll really appreciate that. At least I hope she will. Either that, or golf stuff since she just picked that up not too long ago. Hmm. Decisions, decisions...

Warning...Cuteness Overload!

Oh no, I'm having cute baby stuff overload! I just looked at the baby shower registry I mentioned in my last post...and I don't know what to get! I was convinced I'd get Winnie the Pooh stuff, but then I saw this other stuff by Gund that I may not be able to resist. Lord help me if I ever get pregnant, because I will want it ALL and will probably have to take a second mortgage out on my house (which I have yet to buy, mind you). Seriously, it's insane how much cute stuff is out there, that you almost forget the necessities! Okay, maybe not...but I can see how easy it is to get wrapped up in all the hats, blankets, footies, etc. (no pun intended). I'll have to reign in my spending for the baby shower that's coming up, that's for sure!

Pooh Bear!

My manager (also a good friend of mine) is having a baby in December, so we're throwing her a baby shower here at work at the end of this month. She and her hubby registered at Target, and because it's their first baby, they have a TON of stuff they want. One of the things is a baby sling, which I have to admit is pretty cool. And they have Winnie the Pooh stuff out the wazoo! I loooooved Pooh as a kid, so you can bet my gift will have Pooh bear on it (that's if people don't beat me to it!). They're having a girl too, and there is soooooo much cute girl stuff out there that I'll have a hard time sticking to one gift, I think. Anyway, I am so happy for them. They'll make awesome parents.
