Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I'm finally getting a second to breathe, literally, I have been sick all week, damn stuffy head!   Haha!

We had several family gatherings this week, as all my family couldn't attend just one.  Richard met a lot of my extended family, which was lots of fun.  I caught myself several times, just standing ( Read more... )

So, yesterday didn't happen, lunch today isn't going to happen, and joining Richard's family for Thanksgiving on Friday, isn't going to happen.  I can honestly say I'm sad about this.  I didn't think I would be this sad.  I know things are complicated, I know that things are moving quickly, I know that there are legal issues, and promises made, and ( Read more... )

So, we had it all planned... I was going to meet Richard's son, Tristan, over lunch Tuesday (tomorrow).  For weeks I've been thinking about meeting Tristan, I've even dreamed about it several times, but I never wanted to push it.  I know it's complicated, but it was killing me, I was excited to meet him.  And about  a week ago, I finally blurted ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's already been over a month since our first date! Boy did I fall fast! It's the little things... he drives all the way to my house just to give me a kiss goodnight, he closes the door when grinding coffee so he doesn't wake me, he leaves me a card on top of the toaster in the morning, he buys me cereal to have at his house, the ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I booked my flight. Some how Alex had convinced me that it would be "just for fun." No strings attached, no one is getting their hopes up, and no one gives the other one a hard time. Who was I kidding? I new it would be hard, but I didn't think it would be that hard. And I was PMSing, which added to the ( Read more... )

Today, was the first time, in all sincerity, that I called him my boyfriend. It felt nice.

I can finally tell you all about him. It's been so complicated, it's ridiculous. I don't even know where to begin. We work together (at the zoo). From day one, I enjoyed his company, so much energy, so friendly, and so thoughtful. But, we worked ( Read more... )

So Katie, Stephanie and I get all dressed up last night to go to.... Moondoggies?!  What the hell happened?  Oh, well.  Fortunately, the DIsco Pimps were there (Stephanie's new favoritie band, she wants them at her birthday party)!  Yes, that is sarcasm in my voice, the Disco Pimps are not my new favorite band.  But, good times were still had, ( Read more... )

Ps. Did I tell you... he bought me flowers.

So this weekend, I drove up to Santa Maria for my god son's 2nd birthday.  I had a great time, I sure do miss my (second) family.  Noah is growing so fast and he is so smart, it's ridiculous.   A lot of the things he is doing is at a 4 year old's level.  I love that kid ( Read more... )
