RN, my wanna be boyfriend just called. He wants to take me to mexico this weekend. He gets back from Maui on Thursday, we'd leave on Friday, come home sunday, then he leaves on Monday for France. RN, want to see him and would love to go down to Mexico for a few days with him, but don't know if I am ready for that type of relationship...yet. RN, every time I talk to him I fall even harder, he smart, successful and cute as a bug in a rug. Plus he makes me laugh harder than anyone I have ever known (my son excluded of course)

Right Now: I have to teach DD german so I can buy her that book to read to avoid that akward "where do babies come from" moment. RN: Zmom, how come he travels so much? Is it work. A relationship where one is gone all of the time would be really difficult.

rn, i hate to even post this..but, here i go. zachy, i've known so many girlfriends who have meet such a great guy. (well, not lately, since my friends and i have been out of the dating scene). however, the only reason i am posting this is because 99% of the most wonderful guys they met...always seemed to have to travel for work. for weeks at a time. yet, they still have time to share with you. they seem to be very rich. every single friend (one was even engaged and left los angeles to live with him in texas)...was burnt. seriously, i hope this is truly a wonderful man who you have so fortunately have found. however, (and i know this is easy to say), i would check this guy out. i don't say this because a man has done this to me. i've just known so many friends who this has happened too. i swear....you have to be extra careful w/a person who travels so much. i know you are an intelligent woman, so you already know this. however, sometimes an idiot can really fool you. i know this has happened to people i know. thank god, it hasn't happened to me. however, maybe it's just because i've always played it safe with guys...so, who knows maybe the guy was legit) zachy, are you 100% sure about this guy's career (i'm sure you would know if he's married or not)?

eta: zach, please know i only posted because i know (well, from your posts) what an intelligent, loving, woman/mother you are. i just want you to be so careful because i don't want you to get hurt. you deserve a beautiful relationship. so, i'm just saying...be careful. i'm not saying you don't know enough to know the right guy. i know you do...just want you to be happy and never be hurt again.

Rn, after dh, #1 brother & sil & me & dh took Mother out to eat, I got a little surprise. Even though I have no children, my sil gave me a present...a picture of her 2 grown daughters, with my great nephew and great niece in the respective Mother's laps. Picture was taken in a botanical garden and it's such a great picture framed very professionally. My sil somewhat understands the trials and tribulations I have with my own Mother (since Mom is her Mother-in-law!) and realizes that some of us without children do feel a bit left out on Mother's Day. Hope all of you Mothers had a great day and realize how blessed you are.

RN, I have to share my mother's day card from my youngest. My youngest loves to send cards and also sent cards to my mother )her only living grandmother and her favorite aunt. She takes care to find a card that say exactly what she means...so I know that this card is heartfelt and conveys her thoughts. It says: "Having you for a mom means... Laughter is a natural part of all our get-togethers A caring heart is available 24 hours a day. A little advice and encouragement are simply a phone call away. Love is a given. Respect is two way street. Hugs come in unlimited quantities. Having you for a mom is one of the best things in life." She made me cry! (Which is a family joke. When the girls do something really special for me...they always say..."This is going to make you cry!")

RN, Abby & Escapee, he doesn't travel for work. He's pretty much retired at 42. I was invited to come along with him to France, but I declined. He just bought property in Maui, has property in Mexico and is thinking of buying some in France. As I said earlier, he's smart and successful.

zachy, sorry i don't mean to offend you. however, why do you know he is smart and successful? how do you know he bought all this property? because he told you? great, he invited you to go...do you think maybe he knew you wouldn't accept? so, he retired at 42. i'm sure you've been to his retirement home that he lives in close to you. do you know if he owns that property? does he rent it? zachy, ask him to take you to the properties he has visited in maui, mexico and france. tell him you will take the time off work. she what he says. he'll say okay. fine. make it a priority to visit one of his propertie if you want. again, maybe i'm a suspicious ...but, you need to be careful...this guy doesn't sound honest to me at all. also, even though i asked you about it...it really doesn't matter at all if this guy is what you say (meaning doing well in his job and rich). if, he is the great person you say he is, makes you laugh (then that, obviously is more important than rich). so, making you laugh is so very important. zachy, how much do you really know about this guy? his past? do you know anything FOR SURE about his past except for he has told you? at this point, zachy, the guy may be rich...but what about his present life? how did he get rich? by buying property? is that how he was able to retire at 42? hell, if that's the case, why doesn't he offer you to rent one of his properties? eta: my girlfriends were also "invited" on trips. i realize it is different for you, so, it doesn't apply to you. however, one guy invited J too...but, he knew she couldn't take vacation at certain times. again, sorry, this guy sounds too much like my friends "great guy". so, just posting to you for that reason. not making you wrong...just i care about you. i guess you have experienced idiots before and know better. so, sorry, again, if you think i'm posting here because i think i am an expert on relationships. yikes, no way, no how...i make same mistakes every day...so i would never say that.

Right now it is after 4am here and I'm making my 4th attempt at watching this past week's CSI. I haven't followed it at all.....again! That means right now I need to rewind my tape and start over for the fifth time. After that, I give up......right then.

RN, i hope he doesn't move into your house, mamie! RN, i get my gold crown cemented today. i hope it's more comfortable than the temp; although this one has only gotten uncomfortable the last few days. tonight i might go play bingo--making sure i record grey's anatomy, of course! wow, what a cliffhanger last night! i am alone at the north house with kendall and the two indoor cats. at least i don't get too lonely with the pets around and kendall would bark like a maniac if someone approached the house. i feel safer than i did during the long winter nights, where it was pitchdark by 4:30 or so and the nights lasted forever! dh is at the south house. the contractor and termite inspector come today. please keep your fingers crossed that the cracked joist isn't major and that the termite guy doesn't find any evidence of those little boogers. what i love about being up here is that when we went to town (redding, about 35 miles west of us) it was 102 degrees in redding and 82 up here. i could never have moved to redding itself; i'd have stayed down south where it's that hot! we don't even have a/c up here, although some people do. i am comfortable as long as we are under 90 degrees and ceiling fans turned on early and drapes drawn early in the day keep the house pretty cool.

Right now, Tater, I had a really fabulous time! I continued to be a little nervous because I find him so attractive. We had fun, though. We went to Outback and then Barnes and Noble. Talked forever. He seems to be a good guy. And he kisses well, too!

RN I just mowed the back yard. It looked so bad that I could not stand it any longer. Dinner is in the microwave and should be done by the time DH gets home from work. Then I can have enough time to eat before going to work.
