• Dear Xanga

  I am long over due for a blog. 

  I have tons of photos, alas, xanga is no longer as photo friendly as it once was. 

  Adventures have been afoot on a regular basis.

  My room mate, David, has turned into my boy friend. 

  That sounds a bit convienent and cozy but he is the finest boy friend in all the land.

  I believe I blogged about our times together as roomies here before. The romance was an unexpected and delightful turn. I adore him.

  We take mini road trips as often as work permits. He is from Alaska (and Wyoming), so California is a huge new play ground for him and an excuse to be tour guide for me. We have been to the snow (Truckee and Tahoe) twice, over to the coast twice. We are planning many other trips. He likes to get out and about as much as I do.

  Our little Wonder Dog, Lola, goes with us where ever we go. She is a travel monster!

  Our newest adventure is redecorating our place. Making it ours. Do you have any clue how long it has been since I have been in an Ours and a We?

  Seriously!

  It takes some special guy to make that safe and ok. He is that guy.

  He is way younger than I. We definitely scar people for life when we do any kind of PDA (public displays of affection). The most ridiculous things come out of people’s faces when they meet us. Usually from men my age. To make matters worse he looks very young besides being very young. He is thirty three to my fifty. And he looks twenty. This would be an issue if I did not love him so much. What do you do?

  The last boyfriend I had was fifteen years older then I and we never got the kind of remarks that David and I get. I am getting more ok with it daily, but it is still kind of funny.

  So, this weekend we have been moving furniture and re-decorating. We love to cook together. He bought me a fuschia hand mixer for Valentines day. How sexy is that? This guy takes my breath away. It has been a thousand years since a man has done this for me. And I feel safe enough to type about this. He is a decent and darling guy.

  Ok, off of boyfriend planet for a moment…

  Old friends have been coming out of the woodwork recently. Is it the planets? I have also been feeling the letting go and safety (safety – a huge topic in my heart at the moment) of fresh starts. My daughter (I am hearing from the other g’ma and baby daddy on how tough she can be) and my mom’s Trust situation (awful, my brother is taking me to court) is a letting go deal (you cannot beat a dead horse, as awful as that sounds), and a couple of long time friends that had disappointed me in a hurtful way are in the forgiven seat.

  The year is early yet. We will see where all of this takes me.

  I am happy. I hope you are happy too.
