sunday is love's initial

who took this picture of me?

* that stubborn 10 lbs is now a stubborn 8 lbs. i MAY actually be able to Meet That Big Goal(tm) by the first of march. o.O i'll have to keep doing what i'm doing now for the rest of the month, but it's definitely doable. i think. 

the big issue will be the 14th and 15th. kid and i are in minnyapples and doing the asian market where there will be korean potato and cheese corn "dogs," japanese milk bread, and red bean paste buns....plus 800 other things that are just as tasty and just as thwarting. 

can i wire my mouth shut for those two days? put a grazing muzzle on? something? or am i going to have to rely on stupid will power alone? argh. lol

* it's so cold here that doing anything with the horses is problematic. i don't want them to feel abandoned, so i layer up (snow bibs! gloves! trapper hat! boots!) and trudge through the snow to visit and just hangout for as long as i can — which isn't very long right now due to frozen fingers. ugh. 

today misty and i had a nice chat about her favorite scratchy places, she gave me horse hugs, and she played with the zipper on my coat....pulling it up and down, up and down. mister warned me NOT to let her do that the other day, and it's probably not something i want to encourage, but dang it if it isn't the cutest thing ever.
