Divorced ? Yes...uumm not really...

Why do I get so defensive when someone who knows I am single asks if I am divorced ?  I found myself lying when this question was asked to me a couple days ago.  After I said "yes", I caved and finally admitted I had never been married and felt this horrible need to explain myself.  Being 43 and never married puts me in the category of "Something must be wrong with her".  Well folks NOTHING is wrong with me !!  I am actually the most emotionally healthiest I have ever been in my life !! With no baggage.  I am content and have a great job and can support myself and my youngest (adult) child who still lives at home (yes, I know, I know !!).  YES, I said child.  I have had a child out of wedlock.  Yikes !! Right ?? Oh get over it !!  I have had a couple long term relationships and even engaged twice.  And my fair share of short term !  

I just have not found my husband........yet !! And I know he is out there cause I am a total catch  :)

A night of good food, friendship and music....

Saturday night ending up being like a little piece of heaven.  Being in excellent company we embarked on a fantastic discreet restaurant that specialized in small plates (tapas) named "Bite" in Incline Village.  What a freaking good dinner and the drinks were perfect.  The bartender made these drinks like they were a piece of art.  Risotto balls, Spinach and goat cheese salad, Ahi sliders and grilled fish silver dollar tacos topped off with wine, Arrogant Bastard Ale and a killer tequila drink that knocked my socks off....literally !!!  Then off to the Crystal Bay Club to see an awesome musician...Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express.  OK, so I have to say it kinda was a bummer that hardly anyone showed up, BUT on the other hand it was TOTALLY awesome at the same time.  They rocked for 2 1/2 hours.  It was so much fun.  We really should have stayed for the after party but we did not get home until 2:00 a.m.  Next time, the after party will be for sure !!  These nights out are so very well deserved and needed !!

Recovery in the world of brain injury...

Pa is recovering really well.  Had first doctor's appointment with the brain doctor that performed 4 craniotomy's and soon to be 5th in July.  The recovery has been uplifting, eye opening and at times...humorous !!  That darn  helmet he has to wear is so cute.  And what is the best part is that he does not care !!  He will go to any store or restaurant with that helmet on and not be embarrassed...that is until someone starts staring.  But that is ok !!  I stopped by one Sunday to start dinner for my mom and he was sitting in his chair eating potato chips and cheese dip...taking a knife and spreading the cheese dip onto each chip and he did not remember if he had lunch or not. Aaah  the innocence that has actually come back.  Kinda ironic !

Uncle.....

My ex called me tonight because our daughter still won't pick up the phone when he calls her.  She just feels at the end of her rope with him and I can't say I blame her !!  So I pick up the slack my kissing his ass so he will be  back off for a week or so and then the excuses (on my part) start all over.  Sooo because of  my "ass kissing" he is just so damn grateful that I am his best friend and he wants to "give it a go" .... again !!   OK, so I laughed out loud.  I did not mean to hurt anyone, but COME ON !!  I very cautiously told him that we are so much better as friends.  blah blah blah...as the vomit comes up the back of my throat....
