Another year older

Well, it's my birthday day (as well as my husbands). I know that is quite unusual and haven't really met anyone else that has the same birthday as their spouse. Oh well, we really don't do a whole lot to celebrate. We went to the movies as a family last night and saw "Alvin and the Chipmunks". I *loved* the Chipmunks when I was a little girl and remember getting their Christmas album and playing it over and over during the Holidays. So, this took me back to my childhood.

I don't think that I will be one to grow old gracefully. I remember when my mother was 36 (she had children young) and now I am there. I used to think that age was old and now I realize it's not really *that* old:-). I don't feel old, but I'm definitely noticing some changes in my skin that I don't like one bit! I guess the good thing about getting older is growing wiser and watching my children grow up.

I wanted to write about my baby, Angel. I wanted to just do a post on her (my dog), but figured I would add her to this post. She is the best dog in the world! I was listening to Animal Planet explain that dogs lower people's stress level and can lengthen your life. I know that's true of our little Angel. She is a Yorkshire terrier (I think the best breed that exists). She is all of 4 1/2 lbs. but doesn't know her size. She tries to play with an 80 lb. German Sheperd next door. It cracks me up. She never fails to give us unconditional love every day. Her picture (above) shows her almost asleep. I will probably write much more about her. I would love to breed her one day and wanted to show her in the ring, but life has been too crazy. Well, I'm off for now to do some school work.
