A New Member of My Family - - -






Welcome Drew Rustie Rolfe!!

Thursday morning, I got a call from my son. Now, it's no secret that my baby boy is extremely special to me; he's got a huge hunk of my heart!! Anyway, when he called me Thursday he asked me if I was sitting down - to which I said I wasn't (it's not a good sign when someone asks you that and I really was sitting down, but I was kind of frightened). Then he told me to sit down. He then proceeded to tell me that he had asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said YES (why anyone would consider saying no is completely beyond me). He had given her the ring that he had bought for her to signify the special event. After congratulating him for just a second, I went into mom mode and started lecturing him about stuff I had already said to him, over and over and over and over and over before. That was not a very nice thing for me to do, because I had kind of stolen his happy thunder and I really feel kind of horrible about that. His sister kind of slapped me around a bit to let me know that I did a very dumb thing - because I should have just been down right happy for them and I am very happy for them. These two are scary, disgusting, crazy in love - and I love to see my baby boy so very happy.

There are no real formal plans at this point (that I am aware of), they are trying to do a little planning. However, I want my son to know that he has found a beautiful young woman to spend his life with and I can't wait to see what they make of their lives. I also want Rustie to know that she is marrying the most awesome man in the world; he is the most sensitive, strong, caring, loving, funny, silly, crazy, smart, amazing, proud, considerate, teasing, sweet, happy guy there is. However, she also needs to know he can be cranky, annoying, ornery and depressed at times and that makes him no fun to be around (but, ya just have to deal with it to get the great qualities described before that).

I love you both and I'm so happy you are letting me share this special and happy time of your lives.

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
