Things Are Looking Up

My lesson is scheduled for tomorrow. My mother wants to take me shopping next week for a new helmet and a new pair of riding pants (we're going to see how the lesson goes first). My old jodhpurs from when I was about 10 actually still fit, but I had to throw them out when the zipper broke. That, and they were bought in Scotland, where warmth is a good thing, not Arizona, where oppressive heat is an omnipresent thing 9 months a year. I still have a pair of jodhpur boots that fit, and a pair of regular riding boots that fit. I think I'll be wearing the jodhpur boots tomorrow with jeans.

My boyfriend, who was laid off 3 months ago when his job got outsourced to India, starts his new job next week, so I don't have to worry about spending the money on lessons (as much). He is also planning on getting me four lessons for my birthday, not just one. Now I just need to see if I like the instructor, and I have a month's worth of weekly lessons before I need to pay.

Did I mention that the Google Ads on the right hand side of the page are part of the Subsidize-Tam's-Riding-Lessons-Plan? Click on things that sound interesting (and they are content driven, so should all be horsie related), and eventually Google sends me a little money. At least, that's the theory.
