here are some of my favorite sayings from wild horsefeathers!
here is one little girl who would rather...
be showing than shopping
clean a stall than her own room
whisper to horses than talk to boys
be trotting than texting
tack up a pony than play with dolls
i'd rather be a barn bum than a couch potato
i'd rather ride like the wind than go with the flow
i'd rather saddle up than settle down
And the topper...
if at first you don't succeed...
DO IT LIKE YOUR TRAINER TOLD YOU!!

here's the next chapter to the novel!!!:)
chapter 3
on thanksgiving day, as the whole family was seated around the dining room table of the Colorado farmhouse, with both table leaves out as far as they could go, Stardust's mom and dad prayed over the meal and relatives. Stardust, bored as usual during a prayer, busied herself with recounting all family present at the table. first, her siblings. Ursa, age 25, Ryan, age 22, Nova, age 18, Andy, age 16, me(Stardust), age 15, corona, age 11, Moonbeam and Moondance, age 8, Leo, 6 1/2, Luna, 5, and Stella, who is 2. Ursa is married to Mike, Ryan is married to Shayla, and Nova is engaged to Peter. Granny and Poppa, Mom's parents, and aunt Cathy and aunt Bryn are here. Dad's family, including Nonna, Oppa, aunt Allie, uncle Dylan, aunt Callie, uncle Joe (aunts Allie & Callie are twins), uncle George, not to mention Adelaide, Desi, Devlin, Cal, Alex, and Ellie, the cousins. Stardust sighed inwardly. isn't she done praying yet? she looked at their friends, the Hookers and Rivers, and counted Mr. and Mrs. Hooker, Loraynne, 16, Peyton, 12, Lulu and Jojo, 8, Mr. and Mrs. River, Lynne, 17, Misty, 14, and Chase, age 10. finally, Mom was done praying. Stardust said amen with everyone else, then dug into her mashed potatoes.
later that day, Nova took Corona and both pairs of twins to get ice cream for the pumpkin pie. Shayla decided to go with them. Stardust made a face. when Nova turned towards her, she smiled and quickly shook her head. Nova shrugged and walked away as Stardust breathed a sigh of relief. Andy, Stardust's brother, saw her sigh and walked over. "look Dusty, I know you don't like Shayla, but it's been 4 years since Ryan met her. why don't you act nicer to her?"
"you don't like her either." Stardust mumbled. "Dusty-" Leo interrupted him with a "hey, look at me!" as he rode in on uncle Dylan's shoulders. everyone smiled. Leo giggled. Stella burbled. Stardust picked up the baby and turned on the football game.

ok here's chapter 2!!!
chapter 2
the copier hummed as it scanned the pages. it rolled out a clean sheet of crisp, white, printer paper, then started vibrating as the ink block moved back and forth across the new page. stardustglanced around nervously to make sure that no one was within hearing range. after the machine finished, Stardust crept up to her room to begin studying.
several hours later, Stardust woke with a start. she blinked slowly as she raised her head.then she heard what had woken her so suddenly. her eldest sister, Ursa, and her sister's husband were in the entryway right below stardust's room, talking to her parents. stardust shoved the answer key to friday's math test in the back of her binder and tore out of her room. she ran downstairs and tackled mike in a bear hug. out of the corner of her eye, stardust noticed 2-year-old luna and 4-year-old stella looking at them curiously. ursa had been 21 when stella was born and 23 when luna was born. now, at 25, ursa was married and had 2 kids, penny and kyle, with another on the way. stardust jumped up to answer the door.
(end of chapter)
