Changes

Today, after we finished eating our lunch, I told Ted I had something to say to him.  So he asked me what I wanted.  I said, "hold on, I have to be hugging you first".

I pulled him into an embrace and held him close.  I whispered into his ear, "I was really worried about us spending so much time together, but now I'm so happy we do."

You see, Ted started a new job about two and a half months ago.  He now works from home.  That means he is home ALL THE TIME.  I work every other week, so I am home ALOT.   Meaning, this was going to be a lot of together time.  Him just feet away, in his dungeonous home office, while I was just a few feet away, spending my time in the upper level of our home.  And the days I do work, I'm home at 11:30 in the morning and spend a few hours before going back to work.  So - here we are together again.

I am not going to lie.  I thought it was going to be a very difficult transition.  I wasn't sure that Ted and I spending that much time together was a good idea.  I thought we would get a little irritable with each other.

From day one, I've loved spending the time with him.  He goes down to his little dungeon office.  And he is busy from that moment.  He'll come up around noon, we'll have lunch together.  And we do that pretty much every day - because we are together.  The only time we really don't do lunch together, will be because I have lunch plans with a friend.  Otherwise, it's the two of us.

So, my fears were unfounded.  The two of us are good together.  And more time this weekend.....annual honeymoon is in the plans.

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
