I Said No!

-
OMG - For the first time ever I said "No" to Sawyer! He wanted to get together Friday morning and I hesitated saying yes. Mostly because I have a date with FJB on Thursday night and I'm hoping he'll stay, not for sex - still holding out on that - but just cause it's nice to spend time with him. Also because Leo has this thing as school Friday morning and I don't know about getting all freaky with my ex-neighbor and then busting up in the school. I do have some limits LOL!

So anyways, I told him I couldn't. No explanations, no apology. His response was a frowny face. Then he pressed for details about what I'd be doing and I stonewalled him for a while and then said the thing about Leo's school. He offered to come earlier that morning but I still said no!

I can't believe it. I never ever say no to him. I've never turned him down before! It shall be interesting to see how he reacts...

    Be prepared for him to start turning on the charm big time, that's always been my experience after telling a guy no - then again, it's never been a married guy so that could change his reaction a little I suppose.

    I am soooooo proud of you! And also think it says something that you like FJB enought to turn down Sawyer :)

Online Dating Duds

-
 After the Return of Sawyer debacle I went back to online dating and discovered a string of totally unsuitable and unappetizing guys but they gave me some good laughs. There was a friend of Peabody’s who remembered meeting me but I didn’t remember meeting him.   He was super conservative and a Trump lover but I went out with him out of spite just hoping it would get back around to Peabody.   We had a very unremarkable date in the small town I live in – again hoping someone would see me and get back to Peabody (I’m nothing if not a little petty).   We talked and he gave me a sob story about having a legit crazy ex-wife and wanted a lot of details about Peabody.   Gossip travels fast in this small town I suppose.   We kissed a little at the end of the night and it wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t anything to want to take your pants off about.   Then there was the vet, as in veterinarian, who was so old fashioned he didn’t have a cell phone – at least that’s what he told me.   But he als

Five months later

Here we are amost five months later. Jules is happily married and coping with Russell leaving the island. Gywn is bursting with pregnancy - shes having a boy! -and counting down the days till her hubby comes home. And Miranda, well Miranda is...happy. As strange of an emotion as she can imagine, Miranda is happy. Peabody has pulled out all the stops and completely committed himself to her. It's about damn time lol. Maybe fairy tales can cone true after all? Fate has taught Miranda to be cautious but she can't help feeling cautiously optimistic at the moment.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

-
It's another day in the neighborhood, won't you please be my neighbor? Ok, I date myself but I loved Mr. Rogers. So my new hood is rolling along nicely...I came home today to my new dog greeting me at my car, kids on my porch, and Gavin getting up to get me a glass of wine as I walked into the door. Then, the man did homework with my daughter. Homework is my least favorite time of the day and he totally rocked it. It was hilarious listening to him with her, but super cute too. I'll say it again...it doesn't suck to be me right now. I had to give Gavin some tough love tonight though and admittedly he took it better than expected. He continues to whine about what a horrible gf the gf is...I finally laid it out. I told him that I thought 99.9% of his current problems could in fact be traced back to her, that she's a toxic human being, etc, etc. (He did kind of ask...) I explained that I can actually remove myself and say this in an objective manner (hence why I'
