Day 25 - Someone Who Fascinates You and Why

UGH - another question that makes me have to think of something to say.  I have tried to think about all the people I know that fascinate me - and there are quite a few.  Ted is definitely a fascinating individual.  I have three kids, all individuals, who all intrigue me like crazy.  I have a mother who I absolutely adore and admire.  There are lots of other people in my life that I find interesting and fascinating.

I think I'll take a different tact though and talk about someone I admire and find absolutely fascinating.  This may be odd and I am not really sure how to go about it.  This is someone I have gotten to know a little better over the last couple of years and wish that other people knew her like I did.  Maybe they would appreciate her more.  She is freaking smart and knows her stuff.  I wish I had a fraction of the knowledge that she does. But, she doesn't use that knowledge to make you feel stupid if you are wrong - but, knowing her as I do, I know exactly when she is telling me that I have my facts wrong.  She is highly under estimated by those who should know her true value.  She is crazy fun and funny.  She truly cares about the people in her care.

Even though there may be a couple of times that she has made me a bit crazy, I wish people who work for her, with her and above her understood what a great asset she is.  She deserves to be treated alot better than she is - thanks for believing in me Roxann!!

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
