Transitions

Living in Seattle in Lake City puts me 50 miles round trip from Devon and Annie and the kids. This requires going through my car faster than it has for a long time. BUT I do like my new apt. I am used to going to Joe's baseball games and Dev's too. I am used to being 5 minutes away instead of 25 miles one way. I don't like that part.

I do like that spring is finally here I think. I can go out some days with no jacket of any kind.

I am also having to get used to living on far less money than I am used to. I will have to make some money somehow. Will list my big clothes on eBay today. The listing fee is only .15 cents today.

New Place, New life

I am in my new apartment, still getting settled. It is small but I do like it. My new Temperapedic bed is awsome and I am getting it all organized so I can have company and enjoy it. There will be no pics since I cannot locate my digital camera. I am thinking it must be in my car since it did not turn up today when Devon was here carting off boxes to my storage unit or to my car to give away.

I am glad I am pretty much settled before Max comes. I am ready now for him to come. I know Annie is ready so now his grandma is ready too. Come on Max!

I have seen and said "hi" to many people here but have not yet really met anyone. I did sign up for the group's trip to the Tulip thing for April 28th. However I told them that if my grandson was not here by then I would not be able to go. He is officially due on the 29th so that would be cutting it close. If I go I will meet many people. I have seen so many who look really really really old and I say to myself I am not that old or at least I don't look that old. I know some here are very old, as in 80's and 90's but I have seen some who are young looking as I am too. People have to be 55 and disabled or 62 to live here so there are all ages here.

Bachelor Dilema

So who woulda thunk the Bachelor would end up as it did? I guess the real question is why it hasn't happened before. It makes you wonder how many other Bachelors and Bachelorettes have regretted their decision by the time they go to the After the Final Rose filming and don't say anything about it, just let it go and break up with the person months later. They all seem to break up in a matter of months. It seems real life is not having dates in helicopters or yachts or going to New Zealand. It seems when these couples get into the real world of just hanging out together the reality of who they really are and how they actually relate to each other on a daily basis shows them to be incompatible. It makes it seem truly miraculous that any couple ever makes it together.

Good luck to Jason and Molly!

Aniston says no Villans

I found this fromi Jennifer Aniston about her marriage to Brad Pitt that ended four years ago:

Jennifer Aniston can’t seem to escape questions about her marriage to Brad Pitt. It’s been almost four years since Aniston and Pitt split, and the actress continues to set the record straight on her past marriage.
“No matter what I say, things will always be taken out of context and misinterpreted, will always be turned around to make it seem as though I won’t let something go, or that I just keep talking about it over and over,” Aniston said, prefacing her comments about her 2005 split with Pitt, during a new interview in the April issue of Elle UK.
“I don’t owe anybody anything. I don’t owe anybody my side of the story. There are no sides!” Aniston explained. “There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story. It’s just not the case.”

I thought it was interesting because so many keep her divorce alive, taking sides between J Aniston and B Pitt or worse yet Angelina Jolie. I say let them all move forward, which they seem to be doing, in spite of all the Celeb mags trying to keep this non-war alive.

The Bachelor Finale

Friday night it snowed here again. One last snow. I hope. It is still on the ground but is supposed to warm up to 72 or so by Thursday. This is good since I am leaving Sunday for Seattle. Right now it is very cold. Did you think Seattle had up-and-down weather? Kansas City is a good contender.

I am so excited to see the Bachelor tonight. I am sure it will be Melissa whom he proposes to. I cannot see Molly with him at all. I guess the excitement is to see the Deanna wrench they are going to throw into the works and how that all goes down. I think that is a really bad nasty they are doing to sweet Jason. I think they are doing it for ratings, not for him. Obviously.
