Pygmy goat?

This is good, Kelly. I also think more choice leads to more angsting about each choice. I'm a hell of a lot happier and more personally fulfilled than my just-missed-the-feminist-movement mother was at the age I am now and at the life stage I am in now, but she never spent the time wondering about the right thing to do that I do and have done. Or she did, but at the same time I was--me in my 20s and her in her 40s-50s.

I was going to write my thoughts on how to change your thinking so you can enjoy whatever you do to fulflmillent, but in fact what i really want is a horse, or a grown pony

I always tell my husband that if I had a herd of weiner dogs, I'd never want for anything else the rest of my life. For whatever reason he's not buying it. But a mini giraffe would be totally kick ass, I think I could talk him into that one.

Shetlands are cranky and bite. You don't want a Shetland. How 'bout a nice mini giraffe?

This is silly.

"Some men want to be highly-paid executives, and some men want to be poets -- despite the well-known reduced financial rewards! Just goes to show you -- you can't figure those crazy men out. Maybe they don't know WHAT they want. They are impossible to please!"

Oh...but we want [to play the] ponies, too...
