Rugbug- have you seen him jump? It's magical. I swear you just hold you breath the whole taime as he leaps so gracefully. I'd say as a pair Invasor and Soto are near perfect in their man/horse communication. I can't imagine being that perfectly in sync for a jump you can see them anticipate the jump mentally at the same time, then muscles bunch at the same moment, and then they just sort of glide over...don't you just wish it was you? I always do:)

And in a moment of pure joy for myself. i just changed the wav file on my signal program. Mal as he wakes up from Saffron's kiss " Is it Christmas" in that befuddled voice. *giggles*

Thank you m'dear Tristan - I can't take full credit for the banner though - it was Josh06 who made it and Nico provided the Eureka flags and details for it... If any of you know the story of the Eureka Stockade and the uprising on Bakers Hill at Ballarat in the 1850s you'd know show appropriate it is that we go with the flag to represent the Aussie Browncoats...

Oh MsG!! I can't believe you have a big horse who thinks he's a lap dog!!! That is so wonderful - a bit like me I think - I am a grown up who thinks she's a kid!! and thank you for the HUGS!! I need them 'coz my computer is not playing fair tonight!! (& thanks for the candle!!)

MSG: I've only seen a bit of what Invasor and Soto can do, but I'm in awe. That whole team is incredible and watching them do classical dressage is inspiring and watching them to haute ecole is jaw dropping.

(Heh...I just found a picture of me for some work event on my 'puter. I have short hair in it...think I'll go post it.... back soon).

Hey, I forgot to tell y'all some good news on my part. I actually have a date set up for this coming Saturday! It was kind of weird...I've known her for awhile (Drama dept. at the University) and she also just recently broke up with her fiance of 3.5 years. All of us were friends, but never really got to 'know' each other beyond basic info. We ran into each other through myspace, got to chatting, and discovered we have a lot in common...so the next step is the date part. I have not gone on an official date since the beginning of college! I'm a bit nervous, but really looking forward to Saturday.
Vitals on her...she's 25 (I know I said I was looking for someone older, but she, unlike the ex, is a mature 25), graduated in 2005 with a degree in Drama. 4'11" tall, dark hair, beautiful eyes, bright smile, intelligent and incredibly witty. She is also not really a social butterfly, and enjoys staying home (like me).

So, imponderable-ers, I place myself in your hands. Advice? Comments? Pokes?

Tristan- Some advice from far away Maryland, from someone you've never met before...

Enjoy your date. Have fun. Enjoy someone's company. See a movie. Have dinner.

However...

You are in serious "rebound potential" mode. Coming out of a relationship where you weren't getting what you need you could latch onto the first person who treats you kindly.

*Take it from me. I know of which I speak.*

Just take it casually, and you'll do great. Just two friends going out.

Good Luck, Tristan!

EDIT: Oh, yeah. The poke.

Well, at 4'11", you could always rest your beer on her head.

Advice....hmm... nope got none for ya bub. Been a while since I was in the dating pool.

But you should be careful not to make Mags too jealous!

Grats though on getting back out into the world. It is kinda hard to do after being married (or so I have been told) So at least you did not give up!

Tristan- fabulous...so where are you going on the date. I reccomend someting fairly casual and relaxed...maybe live theater...or if you have access to it, dinner theater is so much fun to laugh at. We have a comedy dinner theater here and it rocks...of course we have 3 equity theaters and 17 others in our city alone..strangely Utah's a real theater, ballet, opera kind of place...go figure.Anyway, do a nice dinner at a casual restaurant and then live theater or some such ...just don't do the movie thing, because that is just too cliched.

By the way, perfect second date is pack a midnight picnic and go somewhere with running water. Bring a cd player with some nice jazz or classical, or even better irish music and sit and talk, but you restrict the talking to childhood memories...best/worst teacher, first crush, learning to drive, favorite family memory, worst thanksgiving ever etc..Takes the pressure off of the must make important conversation and allows you to learn a lot about each other in a fun way

Mavourneen, thank you for that. We have both talked about the rebound thing as we both have that potential problem. That's why we will be taking it slow, one date at a time. I do appreciate you bringing that up, though.
As for the poke...yeah, that was a good one! Funny thing is that she enjoys beer, too!

KelKhil, Magda will always be my ain true love, and she knows it!

MSG, so far we have decided on dinner. We do not have any live theatre in this town, beyond the college. It really sucks, too, as that would have been perfect as we're both Drama geeks. Arrggh. If there are more dates, we may have to do that. Thanks!
I do like the idea for the second date. We have a nice speedbump of a mountain close by with nice trails and gorgeous views, even at night. Thank you again.

Hey I'd bet you have a high school...there is very little more fun than going to a high school production and reliving the silliness of high school drama..that's always an option:) As for the picnic. I like it because it's peaceful and fun and helps build the "couple" bubble around you. Gives you in jokes and such. Plus it's low cost and low maintainence. Kind of a nice get to know you without people and distractions...but still safe and silly.

Hey that's a great ponder...What would be your idea of a good Casual date???

Hey Tristan... she's too short, too young and too... too... local!

Nah seriously - I know I'm your first and foremost so enjoy!! I'm excited for you too and I am glad you're feeling appreciated again! (though you know you are!!) I told you that you wouldn't be single for long...

Kelkhil - thank you for thinking of my heart sweet one!

MsG - thank you for the messages - you reminded me that I didn't mention the kindred spirits I have here at FFF.net
