Interesting People - - - #6

I have made a friend. A soul sister for life. I am so excited by this connection. She is one of the most interesting and lovely people I have ever met and I hope we have a long and enduring friendship. She is simply amazing!! I 100% adore her and if she'll have me, I'll be her friend forever. We connected back in October, but, she and I still feel a crazy, awesome connection.

She is one of the most endearing and genuine people I know. She puts everyone in front of herself. She is a supervisor of a 911 center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She has worked there for 21 years. She is loved by her staff. She recently had a career disappointment when she wasn't chosen to be the Assistant Director.

She and I just spent about two hours talking about her opportunities and drinking margaritas - some of the best margaritas I've ever had by the way.

Have I told you she is an amazing person??

Besides working in a 911 center, she started her own publishing company. Who can do that?? I can't even fathom how someone just starts their own publishing company! Not only did she start her own company - but, she has made it successful and she has two books that are going to be made into movies. Impressive - right!!! She has literally changed her entire life since I saw her last time - a mere two months ago. She has had some very intense downs over the last two months and some even more amazing ups. I don't want to go into them all, but, I am just amazed by her.

She will be doing some reflecting and some planning over the next month - and she'll make some hard decisions. One things for sure, I am proud to be her friend and I am so excited to know someone as amazing as her. Soul sister - just know that I am here for you!!

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
