and told her we’re having a garage sale when I am there to visit next month. She’s the Queen PackRat.. and well I have to minimize my 3 stored trunks down to one if not a smaller trunk*L* And while I’m at it, I need to get rid of an amazing amount of childhood toys and the such, that somehow keeps surfacing as my parents move things about on their back porch. I also have an extensive beanie baby and barbie doll collection. Most of them are going to be sold hopefully in that sale.. at least the beanie babies.. the rest of it.. I will mark in bags and sell on EBAY. That way, I’ll get rid of a bunch of crap.. and make a bit of cash as well.. well I hope more than a bit of cash*L* But mostly get rid of a bunch of crap.

She told me today, actually she was sorting out something in her room the other day.. and found.. some of my clothes.. a couple of button up shirts, my good show shirts.. most of it I had been wondering where the hell it was*L* I have all the collars and pins for my show shirts, my britches and show jacket here.. but no shirts*L* Also, this blue shirt I could have sworn moved with me.. maybe it did and somehow got left behind on one of the trips.. but I have been looking for it.. and was confuzzled about where it ran off too.. Now I know.. and I cannot wait to reclaim it.. There were a few other clothing items, that I couldn’t remember off the top of my head.

Flame is coming to Canada.. at the end of July and I have to get all of his things ready. Most of it, I surmise will be thrown out. Broken grooming equipment, old gone off supplies.. things I don’t use anymore for one reason or another.. I have a large trunk, and everything has to fit in there outside of the two saddles. I need to get another saddle bag as well.. to fit my dressage saddle.. I don’t want it to get scuffed. I also need to look into some sort of saddle “cover” to use on it while it’s stored in my locker at the new barn. I hate cleaning tack.. it’s the equivalent of dishes to me in the horse world.. so wiping it down after using it and throwing a cover on it.. will be a half decent way to keep it mostly clean. Specially the seat.. I get filthy enough when I go to the stable, I don’t need to be wiping the saddle clean with my ass everytime I mount up.

Also, while I am in the States.. if I don’t find something here.. I have to get a “church formal” bridesmaid dress. My dear Sarah is getting married, and I am standing for her during the ceremony. Unfortunately, most of the dresses here in Ottawa are all out “prom” dresses or spring dresses.. and NOTHING in the colours she has chosen. There is still St. Laurent, Bayshore and Place D’Orleans to hit. I know Sears and The Bay will have most of the same dresses, but I might get lucky and something be different. Same thing with Fairweather.. they ALWAYS have a crazy amount of fancy dresses at the St. Laurent store. Maybe that is what I should do right now-lol- go dress shopping.. I’m bored stupid. More later then I suppose, I’m off to find me something either lavender, baby blue or lightgreen.. in something formal.. but not promish*L*
