I Don't Make This Sh*T Up People

-
So a serious case of strep throat laid me low most of last week and into the weekend. In my boredom, and in light of the upcoming cease to my grounding, I reopened my account on Ok Cupid. I find it to be a much less skanky version of PoF.  The goal was to entertain myself during my confinement and boy did it turn entertaining.

Emails start arriving.  In my languishing state I look through them laughing and passing on funny tidbits to my boss.  An interesting prospect arrives. Cute, mid 40s, lawyer, foodie/wine guy, smart, knows how to spell (or use spell check), only apparent negative is he lives about an hour away from me.  I opted to exchange a few messages.  All very interesting and promising.

Then I actually read his profile and not only does he own a law firm, he's a magician on the side.  Yes I said magician.  But he only does it for fun and mostly it's big shows, like he's seriously a semi-famous illusionist.  Today at work after chortling over that with my boss we Googled him wondering if he was telling the truth. It's true. And want to hear one better, after reading his magician website, turns out he suffered a serious injury a few years ago and he's in a wheelchair now. 

Yes indeed. Miranda found a lawyer/magician/paraplegic.  Only me folks, only me.

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.

The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same - sometimes - The Return of Sawyer Part 2

 So yeah Sawyer and I finally got our practically healthy grown up relationship. I realize how much of an oxymoron that sounds but if you read any of the old blog where he and I were “dating” we were so immature and ridiculous then.  The first night he came over we just hung out for a while and of course he laid one of his trademark knee melting kisses on me right away.   The chemistry between us has always been incredible, definitely unmatched with anyone I’ve been with in my history. We sat on the couch for a while and just talked.   Caught up on the years and how life had been and all that stuff.   He suggested we grab some takeout so we went out and he held the door open for me in his giant ass truck and helped me get it.   As I was sitting in his truck waiting for him to get in, it was totally surreal.   We drove down the road and he started laughing and said exactly what I was thinking – how weird it was after all these years and all history to be out in public together.   We
