WELL.....
It appears I'm back. I know, I know, I could just be teasing you, but I've been thinking about you dear old diary so much that it seems silly not to write.
I spent the day with RDG on Friday and it was wondermous. I took forever to get ready, because as I explained to Red, when you have a newborn, you have to start getting ready to leave 3 hours in advance if you want to make it on time. Even then, things come up. So, I was late. But, she sure did look cute and smell cute when I arrived.
We went to eat lunch at Old Town Ale House. It was our second choice, b/c I wanted Hattie's Hat..but, they were closed for remodeling or something..although, I'm not entirely sure they are open for lunch during the week. Despite it being our second choice, my soup and salad were quite good.
From there, we ventured to Cupcake Royale in order to satisfy my sweet tooth. YUM.
It was so nice to gossip and ramble on about our goings on over the months that I've been hibernating with my baby bear. I am so proud of my smart little flower and the fact that she is going to be working the job she wants at a fabulous location. I'm mostly glad she found the job she deserves and is staying here and not going away!
During our discussion, she asked me about my new position at the hospital (Mental Health Specialist) and what all I'd be doing..and it was right about then I got to demonstrate. There was a lady that came up to our table and sort of lovingly glanced at Anna. Then she did it again from on top of RDG�s shoulder. I pegged her right away for someone with issues with social boundaries, but anyone could have done that. She was literally on top of Red. So, as she�s hovering, she starts ooing and ahhing over Anna, which I appreciate, but it is interrupting the good gossip..ya know? Then, it leads to a manic rambling of how I need to thank God for being lucky enough to have a baby (which I do, by the way) and even when she is SO annoying that I should just hug her even tighter because not everyone is (again) lucky enough to get pregnant and it�s not enough that she got diagnosed with this disease (of which she never disclosed, thank goodness), but they also had to remove all of her reproductive organs..and on and on. Until finally, after much smiling, listening and nodding understandingly, I dismissed her by saying, �Okay..well, I sure am sorry and you have a good day, all right?� And, as soon as she walked away, I said, �well, flower..there you have it�that is what I do.�
Ah cha cha.
And, flower�I was sad too.
