yesterday was my birthday...
i'm not big on birthdays...it's not that i don't enjoy them...or for that matter appreciate the extra attention (let's face it...who doesn't?)...
i just tend to not go crazy on my birthday...
so yesterday was a quiet nice day..
mary started off my day...by setting up the table with this small birthday cake accompanied by colorful cookies...and my favorite flowers...(sunflowers)

i am a person of habit...and usually for breakfast...i have a frozen waffle...
so when i went to eat my waffle...mary said..
why not just eat the cookies...it's the same sugar content...
it made sense to me..
so i had a cookie and milk...i chose the pig...
for those of you who know me.....
you can understand my choice...

so here's the thing about my birthday...
it turns out...i am 52 this year...
the reason i say...it turns out i'm 52 is...
for the better part of the last year..
for some reason...i've been telling people..
i'm 52...
why i got stuck on 52 ...i'll never know
you'd think i could get stuck of 35...or at my age..even 45...
but i'm stuck on 52...

anyway...i started out my second year of 52..with a pink pig cookie and a glass of milk...
which ....like i said..
if you know me...
makes so much sense...

lori mckenna...i know you...

"..well, no other woman's gonna feel beneath
the skin that you are in
no other woman's gonna read your mind
or be sorry for your sins,
i know you...i know you.

i know what you look like just before you cry
i know how to make you sick
and i know how to make you die
the only thing i could never do
is let you say goodbye,
cause i know you...i know you...."
