cook some finger foods, watch a movie with my sons, dog and Cat. Fiancee is out on the road and won't be back till Friday... if the roads hold out.
My usual thing for New Years eve, is to light a candle, have a glass of wine, and think about what happened the previous year, think of loved ones, passed away and still here, and think of somethings I should improve on. (No I do not make New Year resolutions.)
My mother is a good candidate for the cancer surgery and we did everything we could to make sure she had as great a Christmas as she could handle. For once she let me make the meal. Brian has been the rock for me to lean on, while everyone was leaning on me.
Hopefully my aunt from Ireland will get here to help out and take some of work/house/children/cooking/cleaning load off my hands.
Boxing Day my parents will be married 53 yrs. Can anyone imagine being married for that long? My mother is a great role model on how to make a marriage work.
Yes it's true. Especially if one of both of the people have children.
My fiancee and I spend time with both our families, and because our parents are older and need us to help them, some of the time my fiancee and I spend together is when we are with his or my parents.
My mother is battling a serious illness at the moment, and my fiancee and I have been over there a lot.
My sons live with me, so he does have to interact with them.
I am not sure if it's true for younger people with no kids and parents that are not seniors, and/or dealing with illness's.
In my case, both of us, I feel were dating each others families as well.
Standing at the bus stop, cars stopped in traffic and their exhaust blowing in your face....
Sitting in a car, with a smoker with windows closed, does not take much to pollute... one cigarette lit in my house has it stinking for days. JMO...1 can cause pollution, but it's not as noticable as 10.
I am so grateful Eyes said that.... I avoid the bag/purse section ... it's too tempting and I might want to try another bag to see if it will be better than the one I'm using.
So far there are only 2 of us bag ladies eyes.... will any others step forward
Extra lean Hamburger meat, simmered in diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper, chili, fresh mushrooms, yellow, red, and orange peppers. Penne pasta to be added in after the smell makes us even more hungry.
Great stuff to eat in this kind of weather. Multi-grain buns from Costco,....... YUM ! Raw Veggies on the side.
Thanks Everyone. Now you know why I have not been on line much.
I am a very content happy woman. My kids like him and that really helps.
His name is Brian, and some one suggested we meet. I said OK but via emails first. (Wanted to see all the red flags first ... and then not meet him.) As hard as I looked, there were no red flags. (example, controlling, views on women, controlling, or negative.)
We met, and things just took off from there. After Brian's mother met me, she phoned everyone, and told them about us. According to his family, they finally understood why Brian was happier and there was something different. His family think my boys are great and include them in every family function they have.
I found someone that has patience and that is something I need. He makes me laugh. To top it off, he likes to cook.
He may not be prince charming, or a knight in shining armor, but he just right for me.
This confirmed bachelor and I took a trip in his semi up to Whitehorse. The truck had a break down in the middle of no where. If you want to test a relationship, a week, in that small space and come out still smiling, talking and enjoying each others company, you have a good idea of how things will go.
Oh, and add in the dog, Brian loves dogs, so my dog came a long for the trip.
What is even funnier is, we were both on some of the same date sites and were never set up as a match.
