Somebody Better Shoot Me With A Tranquilizer

-
So it's less than 48 hours until Miranda and I arrive in the paradise known as Hawaii for our weeklong visit with Jules!!! And it's safe to say I have officially gone off the reservation and into Hawaii la la land....

Let me give you a brief breakdown of my activities/thoughts over the past five days:
1. Talk about Hawaii to everyone I possibly can, including store clerks, co-workers, friends, frienemies, family members, etc.
2. Obsessively check the weather radar over NC, IL, CA and HI
3. Try on summer clothes, pack, upack, re-pack, obsess over packing, try on more clothes
4. Resist the urge to shop for new clothes for Hawaii
5. Sext with Popeye...who lives in Hawaii
6. Look at Google Street View of Jules' house
7. Run to Wal-Mart at 11:30pm to buy 3oz containers for all of my toiletries
8. Constantly check Hawaii time and then discuss with Miranda what we would be doing if we were there
9. Sell gold jewelry to the pawn shop to earn extra spending money for Hawaii
10. Ask Miranda when we're going back to Hawaii before our first trip even begins
11. Spend my last dime on tanning bed visits and pedicures
12. Ponder the option of taking off work tomorrow and just going to the airport a day early
13. Consider my options for selling my house
14. Searching the Hawaii job boards

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Basically, I'm checked out. If it doesn't have to do with Hawaii, I'm not interested. Wednesday hurry up and get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How exciting! My husband went there a few years back with a swim team he was apart of... I didn't get to go. he brought me back quilting squares of bright fabric and some shells he found on the beach.

    I hope to go some day! Hope to see some pics on your blog!

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'
