7 Things About Me:

1. I would totally wear my paddock boots to work if I weren't worried my coworkers would complain about the aroma wafting off of them. ;)

2. I much prefer riding outside than in the indoor ring (and I imagine Kieran does, too).

3. I really want some cow-print-patterned stuff to wear in a show some day. I mean, you've seen my horse, right? How awesome would we look if I wore a hat like this in a Western class at some local show?

4. I got my cat at a horse auction. Go figure.

5. I could pretty much live off cold cereal. Breakfast, lunch, dinner? Doesn't matter to me, bring it on!

6. I'm not a fan of cooking, but I do like to bake so the folks at the local renaissance festival call me "the girl with the cookies" because I bring them to share so often.

7. I like Maryland, but I really really really want to move. Some internal meter is saying, "hey! You've been here too long! Time to move!"
