Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - - - #27

This has been kind of a rough weekend.  I've not felt well.  Halloween party on Saturday was fun, but, that was when I started to not feel great.  While I was gone a couple of weeks ago, when I left, KayeLynn had a horrible virus that made it so she had to quit her first job and is now relying on her second job.  By the end of the week, Ted had it.  It reacted differently on both of them - but, now I've got it.  I'm going to say again, because this feels just like the same thing I had twice back in July.

Yesterday, Ted wanted to go to Idaho to see his daughter - because we didn't know when we could get back there.  She lives in Glenn's Ferry with her boyfriend and two boys.  She moved there shortly after the newest kiddo, Cash William, was born back in April.  Glenn's Ferry is one of those little towns that you forget exist.  There are no McDonalds.  There are no Subways.  There is literally no fast food in the area.  They have a small community swimming pool (that we went to last time we were there), but most people would rather go swim for free at the swimming hole or in the river.  You see, the Snake River is their backyard.  It literally winds it's way behind the house and down the hill from the house they live in.  It's absolutely beautiful.  It's a four hour drive both ways - and yesterday because of a diversion to Wells, Nevada to pick up something Ted forgot last week while there, it was over five coming back.

Adam, Dee's boyfriend, has a nephew.  Not really sure what his status is, but, he's there quite a bit.  He and Gabriel, my grandson, were born one month apart, so they are extremely close.  When we were leaving to go have lunch, Mason wasn't supposed to go.  But, Ted and I talked and Mason came along.

When we got to the restaurant, Mason was extremely enamored with me.  He wanted to sit by me.  He wanted to be next to me.  He wanted to chat with me.  This was one of our conversations:

Me - as Mason raised my arm, pulled himself up close and tight and hugged into me:  "Mason are you starved for affection or something?"
Mason:  "Nope, I'm full of affection".

Guess it's all a matter of perspective.

HMMMMMMMMM......

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
