Hola all.
Well, guess who got all her wisdom teeth plus another one cut out yesterday?
If you guessed me then DING DING DING we have a winner!
My face hurts, its swollen and bruised, and Im very tired. For everyone who tells you getting your wisdom teeth cut out-they lie. They lie alot. The procedure itself doesnt hurt because your knocked out but the aftermath is god awful. And the ice cream doesnt help lol. In fact it makes you feel sick.
But, onto more positive thoughts.
I got elected Secretary of my Collegiate level Equestrian team! YAY ME!
I rode Candy at the last practice on Thursday. Shes a green and slightly temperamental palomino who everyone else fears but, we did GREAT together. I think Im meant for green horses hahaha.
My mom started talkin to me about possibly getting an English horse to board at the barn....that would be freaking awesome. Id probably die of a heart attack actually. Which wouldnt be so awesome because then what would the point of owning my own Hunter Jumper be?
Ugh my teeth hurt
And Im sleepy again.
I wanted to type and now I dont.
Ill just talk to you guys later.
Byeeeeeeeeeez

Cant stop, wont stop, nu uh nu uh...
Its 10:23pm in the wonderful land of Missouri.
Im yawning every 2.5 seconds and yet I cant sleep.
Today was so god-awfully slow its like it sucked all my energy that I cant even force myself to fall asleep. So my last resort is to blog.
I've got a lot on my mind lately. I've been escaping to the barn I ride at frequently to hug a pony every now and then, it makes it a lot easier for me to push all my worries to the back of my mind. I've fallen in love with this handsome gelding there named Choco. Hes a flea bitten gray with a DF brand and two scars where he had sarcoma tumors removed. Hes a tad green but, willing. And I love the way his ears perk up when he hears my voice.
Of course, we can't forget about my uber favorite mare there, Carmel. I havent been able to ride her in months because she surprised us with a foal. Apparently she was bred before my barn bought her but, boy is that baby cute. And Carmy makes a good mum. Shes out of riding for a while now but, I cant wait until shes back. If I had all the money in the world Id buy that mare.
And Choco too :D
So what am I trying to put off in my mind you ask?
Its complicated.
Im stuck. No matter how hard I try, my goals always seem out of reach. Im living in the shadow of everyone else's foot steps and Im struggling to find my own light. Its not easy when your not the best rider, or the prettiest girl in class, or the best girlfriend either.
Ive been a rather shitty girlfriend these past couple of weeks I guess but, shhhh- Dont tell my ginger I admitted that.
I dont mean to take it out on him but, Im so stressed out about the future that every little thing bothers me. I need to stop worrying so much but, I cant help it. Thats just my nature. Im so anxious, I live in fear of everything that I cant predict with a strong hand.
Unless Im with the horses though.
And being away from Dottie and Archer sucks.
I love riding all the horses at Fox Run, dont get me wrong but, I get to missing my babies. I dont feel like its fair to them that Im not around as much as I should be. Stupid college. Stupid money. If board wasnt so high, theyd be up here in a heartbeat. Ive thought about it seriously lately but, I cant ride Dottie english, shes NOT built for that. So whats the point in boarding her at the English barn then? And I cant afford board. No way that is happening any time soon.
Apartments suck. No ponies allowed here.
The first thing Im going to do when I go home Sunday is take Dottie baby out for a good long ride and give them both baths. That should do them some good. Work keeps me from going home and enjoying all of my 3 day weekend but, since I dont work Mondays and its labor day I actually get a 2 day weekend whereas with school, I only get Sundays to myself.
Schools been stressing me out too. I cant seem to keep my head above water anymore. Ive been so spazzy with school, Im already losing focus. Ugh. I just want summer back.
On the plus side, the start of this term means the Redhawks Equestrian Team is all back together again. I love that. These girls are like family, they never let me down. I cant wait for our first competitions, the first two weekends in October. I have a lot of training to prepare but, I want to come home with a ribbon. I have too. To prove it to myself and to everyone else.
I know I get stressed but, Im not giving up. This is my life and Ive got to do what I want with it. Or die trying.....

And then....Brittney inspired me to blog again
Well what do you know! Never thought Id see the likes of blogspot again....I go through these phases you see, most of which involved blogging, not blogging, blogging, not blogging. After the last not blogging event, I thought Id cut the ties but......I guess I was wrong.
You see theres something I love about writing. Even if it is pointless venting that only 2 or 3 people will read. Maybe its the English major in me, maybe Im vain, maybe Im really hungry and desire to go get a pickle right....NOW!
Well, sorry, ADD kicked in there.
Maybe I just hope that one day I will be remembered for something more than just being a high school English teacher.
Im sitting in my stuffily hot apartment right now with my best friend since 7th grade/room mate, listening to her NOT yell at the TV because Skip Shoe-mannnanner-whats his butt of the Cardinals is pitching. (That was last nights entertainment, that and a very laugh-worthy Craigslist ad but, we wont get into that). All my homework is done and Im just, here. Bored. To. Death.
And with boredom comes one of my least favorite past times, thinking.
Thinking often leads to things I dont enjoy doing like, worrying for instance. I do that alot. Almost too much. In reality, most of my day is consumed by worry.
BUT NOT TODAY.
KONICHEWA BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I did NOT walk into the wrong classroom, I did NOT stub my toe on the bed first thing as I woke up, and I did NOT forget to do my homework. Its a beautiful day, not too hot, and I dont have to work! LIFE IS GRAND!
This is a list of the grand things in my life right now:
1. Every morning I wake to my room mate singing to me some verse of a ever so popular Broadway musical.
2. My classes are.....enjoyable. GASP. Who knew that was possible???
3. I have a wonderful, near 2 year relationship that keeps me sane most of the time.
4. My two beautiful ponies, Archer and Dottie, are healthy, happy, and fat...Archer more than Dottie.
5. I can eat all the frozen food I want here without my mother saying, Meagan-eat your vegetables!
6. Im surrounded by Hello Kitty, who doesnt love that.
7. Im entertained constantly by my room mate and her canary-giggles, random seizures when the Cardinals are on TV, and her monsterous urges for chocolate.
8. I have a GREAT job.
9. Where I get a GREAT paycheck.
10. And I have AMAZING co-workers.
Theres much more I could list but....I wont bore you.
If you are still reading then, congratulations, you suck. You have no life. You are lower on the totem pole than I AM at this point.
JUST KIDDING ;)
Well, Im going to get off here and go jump in on my room mates facebook video chat convo with another good friend of mine.
When she reads this, she will break out into canary-laughter.
Life is good :D

My hair is in LOVE!!!
Sorry for my abscence, life has been CRAZY! I keep up with my youtube a lot better cause its easier to turn on a camera throughout my day than too sit down and actually type this out. But, I have an AMAZING product I wanna share with you guys.
If you watch my Youtube, then you saw me mention this in my Random Thursday Beauty Haul. I went to TJ Maxx yesterday and found this really appealing shampoo and conditioner on sale for 2$ A PIECE! I could not let that pass by so I bought it and was a slight bit skeptical but, after using it last night I can honestly say I LOVE THIS.
This is the entire product line. I personally use Scottish Suite Ale in the shampoo and SCottish Pot Ale in the conditioner.
One thing I will toss out there, it made my hair SO SILKY SMOOTH that it wouldnt curl. So if you have naturally curly hair and dont plan on blowing it out straight or if you want to curl your hair, probably not the best choice.
If you are like me I like to use a different shampoo everyday so, this is great for the days I know I am going to blow my hair out straight.
My hair smelled AMAZING. Very fresh and nature-y and it was EXTREMELY shiney. Like I have literally never had my hair look so gorgeous. Even after sleeping on it and waking up this morning, my hair was soft and beautiful.
I am not sure why it is at TJ Maxx. I am still finding it in some online stores so, I am almost thinking that it may not be carried in retail stores anymore and thats why. Which will break my heart because I do love it but, at these deals, I will just go back to TJ Maxx and try something else new!
Thanks for the patience!

Back to my roots, literally!!!
Hi guys! So I finally got a break and thought that a blog would be nice :D
So as you all know, I dyed my hair back dark. My profile picture has officially changed so you can see what I look like now. Its not dark actually but, it matches the color of my roots so that makes it too dark for me. Well not too dark, I actually love it. I miss my white hair but, the dark is nice too.
Its not just my hair color thats changed. Im embracing my natural texture. I have naturally wavy/ semi curly hair and all my life I have been straightening it to fit in with the "straight silky hair fad". But, since all my college classes are at 8AM I dont wanna wake up at the crack of dawn to shower and blow my hair out straight (if I sleep on my hair straight it gets all kinky and unmanageable). So, I decided I was going to shower at night and let my hair do its own thing. Amazingly enough, it looked semi cute and was really simple to style. So, I decided to search for a product that would enhance my curls.
I found this...
Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Gel.
I love this product. I probably WOULDNT love it as much if I used it after a shower in the morning. It does get a bit crunchy but, I sleep on my hair which brushes the hair out and makes it really soft and sweet. I shower at night, apply the gel and scrunch my curls, let my hair air dry for 2 hours (i dont recommend sleeping on it wet), and go to bed.
I think its time to embrace natural curls and stop torturing our hair. After a week straight of this I finally blow dried my hair out straight and it was so soft, healthy, and I could even tell it had grown longer!!!
Try this out if you have curly hair and want it to look great :D
