natal day update

Fun celebrations of natal days this weekend.  Saturday night we ate out with friends to celebrate the Texan's birthday.  Yes...his bday is the day before mine.  Makes me realize all the astrological, zoodiacal stuff is pure whooey.  The Texan and I are BOTH Libras??  There's no end to the joke "I wasn't born yesterday, you know.  Why....yes I was!"  That phrase is the Texan's fave.

My Sunday natal day started with a surprise gift......a KINDLE!  The Texan really outdid himself this year.  Wow.  I'm gobsmacked.  What a great present.

Then to church.  Lunch with Grandma at the retirement center.  Took a little stroll with the Sprouts around the retirement home pond.  We were marvelling at the CRR-AY-ZEE leaping, chirping frogs.  As we walked around the pond, the frogs would let out a loud chirp just before they plunged into the water.  It amused me to no end, those chirping frogs.  Tallyho.....plop!  I'd never seen anything like it.

Then home, where the wiener dog had a nice birthday surprise for me.

All together now......AWWWWWWW.  A very thoughtful wiener-dog moment.  She breathlessly informed me she had a Chuckie Cheese pizza party planned for me and the Texan.  She was a little bummed when I told her the Sprouts were taking us to Saltgrass for dinner and they don't accept dachshunds at Saltgrass.  She looks stricken, doesn't she?  Don't worry...a rousing game of tennis ball and she had forgotten all about it!

Some things I know on my birthday:

1.  I am blessed

2.  My Sprouts are great.

3.  I need to make a sling for my face.  Why has my face gotten so lazy?  I always find it hanging around my jawline.

4.  Doxies are huge party-planners.

5.  I'm hanging black muslin over my mirror.

6.  I want to get better.

7.  Thank you God, for hormones.

8.  I want people to see less of me and more of Him.

9.  The Texan can still surprise me.

10.  Yup.  I'm blessed

Leaping frog love to all this week.
