Is Wedding-PTSD a thing? Because every time I receive an email like this, there’s a flash and all of a sudden it’s 2011 and I’m under my desk in the fetal position as my phone continues to buzz with new emails from my mother.
Yes. Yes it is.
The good news is, while it never goes away, it does fade with time… Gmail filters that rid your inbox of everything with the word bridal in them help. a lot.

Colorado Names ‘Shelter Dogs’ as Official State Pet
(via jenver)
This is the greatest story I’ve read all day…
But my favorite part is this:
The bill was originally proposed by a group of Colorado school children in an effort to teach them about the state legislative system.

ugh
you know those days where you feel like you cant answer anything right and everyone has an issue with everything you are doing and its all stressful and you feel like its not even worth trying because ugh but you have to keep trying because life is that way and you feel like you cant breathe and your heart feels like its all racy and you feel like you are forgetting something and are going to disappoint yet another person today?
Yeah. thats what today feels like…
hello life? it's me Chrissy: on changing personalities
I am loud and opinionated and outgoing and generally a talker.
In my younger years (read: high school and into college) I was pretty argumentative and outspoken and generally gave no fucks about telling people what I thought. I never thought before I spoke, thought I was always right, and was…
GPOYM… I’m sure i’m still exhausting at times but, my goodness, what i must have been like in my 20s…
I actually remember the day i changed… the moment, even.
I was working at a job that required that we be involved in community activities for networking purposes. To that end, i joined a local women’s business group and even sat on the board of said group. Mind you, i would have NEVER joined this group if not for the firm requirement to do so…
One day, a couple of the partners called another girl and I in to talk to us about our non-working time, specifically the time we were devoting to our community activities… and i sat there and listened to what they had to say and just kept my mouth shut. My friend argued with them about it, but i said nothing. This was so far from my usual behaviour that it scared the crap out of them - they were SURE i was quitting… but that couldnt have been further from the truth…
When someone finally came to me and asked me about it, my response was simple… ’Its fine. its their firm - they can decide to make whatever rules they want. I just decide if i work here or not…’
People took that as a threat, which was funny, because i didn’t mean it that way at all… I just, in that moment, realized that sometimes its not worth arguing. its just worth listening and then deciding if you can deal with the situation or not. If you cant, you walk away. No need for arguments or drama - just a simple decision to be in control of your own life and circumstances…
Just in case you didn’t think fitness trackers were motivating, I just walked laps in my apt to cross 17k steps… #fitbitflex

ok, so when does my key arrive????
I’ve already planned my first trip - lunchtime ride from my office to No 7 sub. which, conveniently, has a citibike rack right near it too… (yes, i can walk there - and have - but between the walking time + the waiting time, i end up having no time to eat!)
also, this means i need a bike helmet to keep at work…
I went to a icelandic horse event this other day and took a few pictures and videos. Here. Have some damn delicious horses in tölt, pace and canter.
my sport is the best sport <3333
i need to go to iceland next.
Years of horse showing makes me look at these gifs and think one, and only one, thing… These dudes are all way too big for these ponies…The icelandic horses have very strong backs and can carry 90 kg if not more. Although they are the size of a pony, they are called horses because of their strength. :)
OH - I didn’t mean that the guys were hurting the ponies! but i grew up riding & showing English (hunters & equitation) in the US… and in that environment, this wouldn’t have flown.
I had to (did not want to…) sell my 14.1 hand pony when i was 12 (and probably about 5’6”) and get a 16 hand horse because i was too big on the pony for it to look appropriate in equitation classes… I suspect these guys are taller than I was at that time, so in my brain, using my frame of reference, they’re too big… That’s all I meant…
