Burning the Candle at Both Ends

-

Monday coming back from the beach, I was planning my week out in my head and because I was in vacation mode, I totally didn’t think about anything that I had actually planned to do. 

So my dream Monday thoughts were, “Oh I’m going to have three nights of just coming home, one night of bartending, then Coach will hopefully be home and I’ll have a nice relaxing weekend.”

Fast forward to reality and this is what Miranda’s week has been like.

Monday – Home from beach, furious cleaning, and then taking care of Coach with his back injury.
Tuesday – Work (Gross), Gym, taking care of Coach
Wednesday – Gym, Work (Still Gross), Wine Wednesday dinner with the girls, sex with Coach (Yah!)
Thursday – Work (Absolutely disgusting), bartending at work concert, home falling asleep to avoid Coach who’s hopped up on prednisone and grouchy
Friday – Gym, Work (I mean really does the madness ever end), helping Gwyn get ready for the Hawaii yard sale, movie with previously grouchy Coach who seems to be coming down from the roid rage.
Saturday – Hawaii yard sale with Gwyn and one of my favorite girls, lunch with girls, Gym, home for approximately 2 hours, then cookout with friends, and night out on town with other friends.
Sunday – A serious coma is planned at the pool and a visit to the gym if I’m not completely comatose.

Shew!  It’s been a while since I’ve had a week like this and I can feel it!  Outside of sleeping, I bet I haven’t been home and awake for more than 2 hours any given day this week!  On the upside last night when I was bartending I made almost $90 in tips.  When it comes to old men, Miranda is one hot commodity.  I wore my cowboy hat (see the HNT from a couple weeks ago) a few weeks ago it made them literally insane. 

I miss going home to my quiet apartment!  I’ve enjoyed the extra (non-roid rage) time I’ve had with Coach this week but I’m admittedly yearning for a little alone time at home.  Guess I’ll just have to hold out for Sunday night when he goes back to DC.

It makes me laugh to think that I ran like this all of last summer and fall and I couldn’t hardly stay at home ever.  Gwyn actually lectured me and forced me to learn to spend time at home lol.  My how things have changed…

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 th...

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...
