Flustered

-
My bff is here as I mentioned before and I'm on a man hiatus, which is actually really nice. I'm enjoying less drama at the moment, but I've got to either start shopping at another market or stop sleeping with men in this town. Last night I went to our local market for some last minute things for Chloe's bday  party today and who should I see in line? Owen...OMG...I started acting like I was 16! He caught my eye as I looked up (he must have been watching me), he kind of waved and smiled THAT smile, so I did the same...instantly I thought 'OH FUCK...we're in public...I shouldn't wave, but he waved.' Then I moved onto 'OMG my kid is here!'. Then I looked at him again and he's totally watching us in line!  My worlds collided and it was WEIRD. My bff was behind me oblivious to my flustered self and as soon as we left I told her that HE was in there and to watch the door b/c she could see him come out. He did and totally walked right past us, meanwhile I'm seriously acting like I'm 16...I could hardly breathe...I hate being a stupid girl. He found it hilarious. He sent me a cute text right after about how cute Chloe is and how much he's missing me at the moment...and I fessed up to him that he'd sent me into a tailspin. He thought I was just flustered from shopping with a kid, um I wish. I'm just really not used to seeing him out...it's only happened once (aside from the beaches where he works) in the 18 months we've been seeing each other...but now we live MUCH closer.

PS Bad news today...I'd actually gotten another job in town since the gallery thing isn't seeming to pan out and they emailed me to tell me that due to an emergency situation, my position is no longer available and the owner will be covering what would have been my shifts. Rats...but good for Miranda's visit because now I only have to work 1 day while she's here (if my current employer lets me stay!).

    HAHAHAHA! Just imagine all the times I've run into Sawyer and his family before and after I moved out. It was literally every fucking week at the hell that is WalMart. Seriously! I feel your "flusteration!"

    The very first time it happened right after we made out the first time, I literally thought I was going to stroke out on the floor at WalMart. I broke into a sweat and got all pale. Duckie said he thought I was about to pass out and wanted to know what was wrong. LMFAO!

    That WOULD be awkward. I've been mostly lucky, I almost NEVER run into exes here in town, but there is this married girl I fooled around with a little bit last year that I'm constantly terrified I'll run into. Not because she'd be the type to say anything (I hope), but because it would be so WEIRD.

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'
