I spent the evening with my dear, dear friends Erin and Pete. The first part of the evening was filled with eating a delicious dinner of hamburgers done on their backyard grill. When the sun went down, we went to a nearby school and watched fireworks. When the fireworks were over we entertained ourselves by lighting Morning Glory sparklers and twirling them around in the backyard. Pete got out one of his old bottle rockets and launched it. The darn thing flew right over the house and landed in the street. I never played with firecrackers when I was young so this was my first experience with a bottle rocket. My mother always maintained that firecrackers were too dangerous and that we’d blow our fingers off. Well, last night as I twirled a Morning Glory sparker, one of the sparks landed right where my left eye and nose meet. It is just a little burn, hardly noticeable, but when it happened, I flashed back to the Louis Braille report I wrote in 3rd grade. How lucky am I that it didn’t hit my eye? It’s hard enough getting dates now, can you imagine how hard it would be with a Captain Hook eye patch? Although, one thing I have noticed is men do seem to like damaged women. The other day I said to Lisa that a successful pickup line might be, “Hi, I’m currently knocked up, have a child from a previous relationship, and am on a low dose of Xanax.”

Hi Donna, nice to see your page again. I just got back to CA from PA- I was in Erie. Nice town but horrible weather, wet and cold. in CA, it’s 100 degrees F in the shade! Props to Cocoa!
100 DEGREES!!! WOW! You must live in the inland empire or somewhere around there. This weekend was nice and cool, even cold at night! Ohh, I live in Orange County….Joy.
Yep, we had a 28 lb tabby we got when he was 7 we kept him till he was 14 then he ran away. We had managed to trim him down to a slim and trim 20 lbs. Anyways I’m glad to see the cat doing well.

I don’t know if men like damaged women. For me it was always a good rule of thumb that these people had more than enough drama in their lives and you didn’t need it in your life. I was more than happy to meet a pretty and somewhat normal person (*aren’t we all somewhat normal, just in case you ask, Wendy is hearing impaired, she wears hearing aids*) . It does take a little extra work when she takes her hearing aids out. But other than that she’s normal. Like I said, just wait, you will meet the “One” and then everything will change and the past will be a dull memory. Good luck on the trip
