So my animals got me again today. They have been
giving me so much enjoyment and warm fuzzies lately! So to begin with my
mare was just the cutest thing this morning. Ok, cute to me, I know not
everybody would think a horse lying down is the cutest thing ever. I do
though. I don't know how she manages to do it, but she just looks so damn
cute when she's lying down. Also what struck me was the fact that she was
lying down right across from my window (her pasture is right across the road
from our house). She does this type of stuff a lot; she'll stand or lie
near that part of her pasture, right across from the house a lot of
times. She doesn't lack for attention or anything else, so it's not
because she's lacking anything. I just find that so neat, and every time
she's there and I come out of the house to go to my car or check the mailbox or
whatever she perks right up, faces towards me, gives me a little nicker and
usually suckers me into coming across the road to give her a pet, or a
treat. I love having that freedom to just have her right across the road
from me. It will feel so weird when I get to move from here NOT to have
her right outside my front door basically. I'll have to actually travel
to see her; I won't be able to just look outside. Kind of a scary
thought, but not all that bad really. It's not like I'm the first or only
person that has to do this certainly.
Then my dog got to me too. She just is quite in her element today.
She is in such a serious mood today, I believe. She looks beautiful
though. Her eyes were all wide and bright and her ears perked just
perfectly. She just has the most beautiful face and today she was
certainly showing it off. I was making a howling noise at her from the
house and she just turns around from what she was doing and looks at me with
that serious, beautiful face. It was just so awesome to get to see
that.
On to other news, I feel today is an accomplished day. I made it to my WW
meeting, weather wasn't too hideous and I didn't have anything driving wise to
worry about. I've come home and the dishes are already done, I quoted my
husband's truck for insurance ($48 a month, not bad!), I’ve updated the
shopping lists (since I’ve been picking things up here and there), I’m thawing
stuff for dinner in a night or two and I've got a few other things to do but
I'm on good track as I'm caffeine infused now. I figured something out
coffee wise ... I don't really care for French Vanilla coffee. Like,
adding FV creamer is good ... but the grounds that are already flavored, not so
hot. I am absolutely in love with hazelnut though! It's such good
stuff! I am zoomin' now though, but hey, at least I'm being productive
and getting things done!
Of course I’m also now sitting here bawling like a buffoon
because I’m watching One Life To Live, and while I know its fiction, it still
is an emotional episode. They’re
portraying the funeral of an infant who lived for only a brief time and died
due to some disorder with the blood.
It’s just so damn sad, and I guess it’s also easier for that stuff to
get to me because well, a.) It’s a baby, who wouldn’t feel at least a little
stirring on that type of topic and b.) I’ve been having such issues lately with
my own personal losses that occurred around this time of year. However, I have no intentions of trying to
keep a stiff upper lip. I’m home alone,
and it never hurts to have a good cry because I’ve realized I’m not just crying
because of what’s on the TV, I’m crying because of my losses and it never hurts
to have a good cry from time to time, in my experience. I’ve found it a lot better for me that when I
get to feeling so low and missing those who aren’t with me, then its fine to
have a good cry because afterwards I feel much better and I don’t wallow in it
so much.
Now for the show n tell section ... here's some pics I took earlier today, just
hafta share 'em, can't resist! Oh and in case these won't work, I'll post the links too, which yes, I did test them before I posted.
Go here if this one doesn't work.
Isn't she just soooo cute? No? What the hell do you know anyway?! Lol.
And here for this one.
Awww, she's just waking up and yawning. I LOVE her eye in this pic too, you can see the shape of it and everything so well. Weird observation, I know, but that's me.
And then here for this last one.
I can just hear her saying 'OMG, Moooom! I haven't even brushed my hair yet! Gaawwwd!' Lol.
