Day 4: My Night

Day 04 - A picture of your night.

Achilles got neutered today. He is supposed to stay quiet and not lick the incision. So far he is FULL of energy and licking like crazy, hence the cone head. He was still able to lick w/ just that one cone though, so we got him a larger, bigger one...he's no wearing both of them so that he can't lick & so it won't come off.
He's not a happy puppy.

Day 3: Cast from Favorite Show

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.
Well now that's just too easy. My favorite show is Sex & The City. I have the pink box set and both movies. I watch the series almost continuously...once I finish it, I just start it again. I seriously can't get enough. I quote the show often and know most episodes word for word. :)

Day 2: Closest to for the Longest

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for awhile.

(Yes this is an old photo but I love it. It was obviously from my wedding, in which Cara was my MOH...it was also her birthday.)
This is easy. Cara has been my bestie since 6th grade. I don't know what I'd do without her in my life. I first met Cara, 15 years ago, at Heberle Stables where she frequently (EVERY Saturday) would tack up Jasper, go into the ring to get on, then realize she didn't have her helmet on. This would result in her asking me to hold Jasper while she went to get it. And so a wonderful, lifelong, friendship was born. :)
Cara and I have the kind of friendship where we don't have to see/talk to each other every day, in fact we can go MONTHS without speaking (we're both very busy), then get together and it's like no time has passed at all.
She's currently living in San Antonio while her husband (they just got married last week while they were home on leave and I couldn't be happier for them) is stationed there. I miss her every day and cannot wait for them to be home next year.

Happy 15th Birthday

to my sweet sweet boy. Today you should be turning 15. Today you should be outside enjoying the sunshine. Today I should be making you a nice warm bran mash for dinner with apples and carrots. Today I feel as though there is a dark cloud hovering over my head despite the sun shining in the windows. I think about you every day. I miss you every day. Somehow today it manages to hurt just a little bit more.

Day 1: 15 Facts

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.

1. I have a pretty serious addiction to coffee...not really the caffeine, but the taste.
2. I tend to like animals more than people.
3. I live for live music...especially country.
4. I have the ability to burp like no other (I asked C to give me a fact about myself, this is the 1st thing he said)
5. I enjoy baking & am learning to bake "outside the box"
6. I prefer to drive...I tell people it's because I get carsick, but really I just get really nervous when others drive me
7. I have been riding horses for longer than I haven't been riding horses.
8. I am a dreamer.
9. I am honest to a fault. I am me, all of the time. I don't fake "it" for anyone.
10. I sing really loud in the car when I'm all alone...because of this I tend to bring a bottle of water with me anytime I'll be in the car for more than 20 minutes.
11. I love the beach...and boats.
12. When eating a Reese's Peanut Butter cup I eat the chocolate around the outside first, then the chocolate on the top & bottom, then the peanut butter.
13. I love food. I will eat to taste something, not just because I'm hungry. This makes dieting VERY difficult.
14. I am a recovering pessimist...most days.
15. I miss my horse every day...and think about him every day...multiple times a day.
