Part 3

He stomped over to Destiny's stall and threw his gloves on the chair. "Okay Luc, you want to throw words, then why don't we talk about the real reason you missed that auction?"
"I don't know what you are talking about"
"I'm talking about how you never came home that night, and how by the time you got home wanting to go the the auction it was already half over. I'm talking about how its your own dang fault you missed that horse because you even had the edge over everyone else knowing he was 3rd in line at the auction, so don't go blaming a genuinely nice woman for being in the right place at the right time and blame yourself for your own irresponsible actions!"
Lucy stood there staring at her brother, watching the light dancing in his eyes.
"Oh before I forget, I also know that you were with Garrett that night. Why didn't you tell me you had a thing for him?"
"Dammit Sean, don't you dare scare off anther one of my boyfriends. I really like him and I don't want you butting in!" Lucy whined. Sean frowned and turned to look at Destiny. She was a 12 yr old dark bay mare. She had excellent size and confirmation. Her and Dreamcatcher could make some outstanding foals. Especially since his weaknesses were her strengths. He couldn't wait until tomorrow to be able to get so close to her, but not be able to kiss her would be difficult. If only someday her weakness could be him. He would pray for that day.
The next morning Lucy grabbed Sean's arm as he was leaving. "I'm sorry I've been such a brat lately, do you think I could go with you and propose a truce to her?" she asked.
"I think that would make me proud to be your brother"
"Uh oh, I knew this was too good to be true, why would he be bringing his sister?" I asked myself as I watched them walking over. Dreamcatcher stuck his head out of the stall and nickered softly as Sean and Lucy walked up. Sean walked over to him and scratched his nose while Lucy came over to me.
"What, you have to start your morning by insulting me?" I snarled to her
"I deserve that. I came over her because I want to tell you how sorry I am for the way I have been behaving. I just am very disappointed for missing out on him. But I am glad he got such a kind and competent owner." Lucy said softly.
I eyed her suspiciously, not knowing how to handle this turn of events.
"And if it would make you feel better, I will withdraw from the obstacle class since Destiny and I won it last year." Lucy volunteered.
"Oh I see, look I don't need your "kindness". Dreamcatcher and I are perfectly capable of winning that class whether you're there or not." I snapped.
"See I told you we wouldn't get along. I don't know why I let you talk me into coming over here!" Lucy yelled at Sean.
"Well I don't know why you bothered! Its obvious we will never be friends." I yelled back.
"Now wait a damn minute! I didn't talk you into anything Lucy, and for another if you two would quit being so so stubborn and mule- headed you would see that you are a lot alike.!" Sean sat down in a chair, exasperated, as he watched Tess and Lucy stalk off in different directions. You could see the steam coming from their ears.
"Yep, they are definitely gonna be the best of friends" Garrett said sarcastically as he walked up to Sean.
"What are you doing here so early?" Sean asked
"Well I wanted to let you know that I am going to ask Lucy to marry me, and I wanted to get your blessing first." He replied.

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Ever wonder why someone came up with the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I have lost count the number of times I have been asked that question. Its interesting that as kids we dreamed big and believed in our dreams. I don't think I have ever heard someone answer that question saying I want to work in a call center. I had big plans and dreams when I was a kid, then reality of the working world struck. Then the dreams came back when I was in college earning my oh so important associates degree. I was so sure that would take me far. Even now when I think about what I want to be, I have a never ending well of ideas and plans but nothing ever takes shape. Instead I go to work hoping to make ends meet each payday and wishing I didn't dislike my job as much as I do. Oh well, I must be patient because in the end I know it will work out beyond my wildest dreams. Although some mornings I get up wishing I had taken the safe route and gotten my teac...

Part 2

It wasn't fair, why did Lucy have to have such a gorgeous brother. He was about 5'9" with jet black hair and eyes the color of chocolate. He had the kind of body that just begged to be looked at, and that wrangler butt was an entity all its own. How was he going to show Lucy and her that they could be good for each other? It wasn't Tess's fault Lucy had woke up late and missed the auction, but Lucy could hold a serious grudge when she convinced herself that she had been wronged. Instead of being mad at Tess for getting a horse of a lifetime, she should be glad that he is still within her circle. She should become friends with Tess, after all they seem to be a lot alike. They both turn heads, Lucy with her black hair and green eyes, and Tess with her red hair and striking sky blue eyes. Not to mention they are both a couple of spitfires, more then an average man can handle. His momma was the same way though, so his daddy raised him to know how to handle wo...

Why?

I sometimes wonder why God created fat people. I have struggled with my weight all my life and know of lots of people that have too. What advantages are there to it? You have to pay more money for bigger clothes that are harder to find and don't necessarily look like what everyone else is wearing. You can't sit comfortably in movie theaters, amusement rides(some rides you can't even get on), airplanes, etc, etc. Probably the most annoying thing about it is the teenagers and young people that feel it is their job to point out how gross you are compared to the general public and they do it in a loud obnoxious way so as to draw attention to themselves. Most days I can feel pretty good about myself when I look in the mirror. I can say I am kind, good hearted, intelligent, funny, and do anything for those I love. But somedays I sit and daydream of the things I could accomplish if only I were thin. I don't even have to be super thin like the models....I would be happ...
