Yep, 53 years old today. Taking the day off to be with my horse, Laela. I moved her home from a nightmarish boarding situation about 3 weeks ago and her entire personality has changed. She is so content munching on her heavenly fields of grass. And when my car pulls up into the driveway, she whinnies her welcome to let me know I am the most loved human on the planet (at least by a horse).  So I woke up thinking wouldn't it be lovely if Kim could come over today and we could play with Laela together - or I could "rent" a pasture pony so we could trail ride together. And we would marvel at the miracle of being able (still) to hoist ourselves up into the saddle and onto our horse's backs without killing them. Kim, you told me you used to ride, right? And we'd have a nice healthy ceasar salad for lunch and talk about life and how different it all is now from 6 years ago. Six years!!! So Happy Birthday to me! And, Karen, I know you above all else will appreciate this: I am on my 5th day without M&M's!! It's a miracle. Really! And I'm 158 this a.m., down from 165. Remember how easy it used to be to lose 10 lbs. when we were morbidly obese??? Now, I'm scratching and clawing for every nano-pound - but feeling better every day. Love you guys. Have a super day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REENIE!!!!! i hope you had a wonderful day.
when you talked about how your horse welcomes you home with a whinney it made me smile. Our animal familes love us no matter what. they think the world of us and when we get a greeting like that its genuine without anything in their minds but O mommnies home! maybe a when do we eat thing too but hey even our animals are ruled by their tummys.
the other night I was sitting on the floor playing tug of war with my tiny dog who thinks she a german sherperd the cats were watching us with that look on their faces that only cats and do paulie was laughing and making farting noises along with whispering i love you's. i was laughing so hard! then i stopped looked around and said to them all  I love our litte family!
And Im going to remind myself of that when the dog forgets to let me know she needs to go outside, when the cats leave me a hair ball and when the birds get seeds and feathers (lets not forget the other animal fur) all over the house.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN REENIE heres to another great year.
