Fancy isn't everything there girl. You are quite attractive in that pic. I can see why Alaska like it.

 

[TAH]

OK, I have to share this pic, just because I think it is hilarious that Alaska really likes it... it is just a regular pic... I did put on a bit of war paint.... but it isn't that fancy.View attachment 43577

Love your hair! And you are beautiful.

I ASSUME you meant to sell your favorite girls??
Glad Rico is healing well, did you find anything that Wiley would have snagged on??
Do you have somewhat of an "entertainment" plan for when Mr. Alaska is visiting?

Thanks!

I did mean to sell my girls. I have attorney fees to cover.

About Wiley, I have looked around, but unless she was doing some really crazy acrobatics (quite possible as she is crazy) she should not have caught on anything sharp enough to tear her skin like that. Some of the fencing for the dog yard is a little on the shady side, but she would likely have caught her legs/abdomen/chest if she was standing or jumping on it.... ????? and the laundry room has washer/dryer, table and 5 gallon buckets with food storage, some baskets and buckets waiting be sorted or dealt with, nothing really sharp though.

We do have plans for when Alaska is here. We are meeting with some family and he is taking me on our date. The plan is to go on the Winchester Mystery house tour. I worked there when I was 16 straight out of highschool. It will be fun to go back. I plan on taking him by by my grandmas old house, where I grew up, and if we have time, I would like to stroll down Lincoln Avenue, a short street that has a bunch of shops and little restaurants, also in my childhood neighborhood, since we will be in the area. And I need coffee.... there is a Starbucks right on that corner. I called mom and messaged all my brothers and my boys. They are all planning on making it to brunch at moms to meet him.

So last night I ended up crying for a bit. I think the grief of losing Bianca and Tantara finally caught up with me, on top of sadness at saying goodbye to my girls, stress over the attorney fees, my hip being painful, and the final straw was a stupid puppy peeing on the floor after I just took her out potty and she had half hour to go outside! I am tired, physically and emotionally. I do have an appointment on Tuesday for my hip, I broke it years ago and it doesnt usually bother me, but I slipped and jarred it a few weeks ago and the last few days the pain has been enough to distract me.

OK gotta go... chores are calling.

Um, just which grades did you skip??
Hope there isn't anything serious with your hip.

Brunch with the family at Mom's huh? I figured you were going to stage them around Starbucks so they could check him out without too much pressure Nothing like meeting the family by immersion. Sounds like what DW referred to as "the relative tour". That would be when we flew to the west coast before we got married and she got (had) to meet Dad and Stepmom in Oregon, Aunt in S.F., a bunch more relatives in So. Cal..

I skipped 11th grade. I hated high school so I doubled down and took extra classes.

He is the one that wants me to meet his mom (i am nervous about that, I had in-laws before and they didn't like me) and he wanted to meet my family... not sure he realized that just parents, closest siblings and 3 of my kids meant quite so many people.... and we are skipping grandma's, step siblings and other extended family..... but i am excited to meet him, and introduce him to everyone. The distance thing makes slower intros much more difficult.

Sure does!

Your old in-laws didn't deserve you And you SURE didn't deserve them

Thanks!

So I sold or accepted deposits on most of the boers that I have offered. I still have a couple left, but that relieves some of the stress of the attorney fees. Andy decided to jump out of the pen 2 days in a row. no biggie, he is a lover and pretty easy, so I just put him back...but then he insisted on getting into the nigerian pen. The neighbors sheep is in heat and has been screaming at him, getting him riled up, so I think that was his motivation.... But Janie is in the back and I already did one C section to save her, cant do another, she is retired. So I threw Andy in Macs pen (a 6 foot tall dog run), pulled Mac out cause he is a nubian buck., no match for Andy (who was really riled up and pretty upset at me, so being really badly behaved by this point).... tied Mac to the outside of the juniors pen, moved Cherry and the juniors back in with the Mama boers and put Mac in that pen.... I have sores on my hand from all of that and I was frustrated enough to add Andy to my sales page.... but I love my baby buffalo and I will cry if he sells.

I also offered up a pair of my lavender sebastopol geese, they are going home on thursday.

offered a few laying hens.... possible interest on them

I took apart the dinning room table that I hated from the start... boobs didnt fit comfortable enough to eat meals at it because the difference between the chair and tabletop.... anyways, it didnt sell and the ex didnt want to take it when he left so I disassembled it and put the top on the giant dog crate that Rico has been using. I want to add some fabric curtains to hide the rest of the crate and look nicer.... cant wait til its done!

Only 3 and a half days till ALASKA gets here!!!I'm sooo excited!!!

Sooooo.....
Alaska showed up a day early and surprised me at work! When he walked in, I was just coming around the corner from the office, I couldn't see him clearly but my coworkers all seemed to recognize him at the same moment that I realized who he was. I took the side door out to the lobby and walked straight into his arms. For me, time stood still....I felt like I was in a dream. Later, everyone confirmed that the lobby did in fact go silent, coworkers were distracted, they all know who he is and recognized him, and the customers all turned to watch since their service paused for a few minutes. I did hear one say they weren't sure what they were seeing... but then the Dr mentioned that this was a big moment for me ....

We did a quick tour of the hospital, intro to everyone there and then I clocked out and ran home to start my weekend with McSteamy! While I was driving out of the parking lot, one of the Sanchas ran out and stopped me to tell me that he is HOT! Uhhh YEAH!!! I know!!!! But it is nice that they agree with me!

Since he showed up a day early, the house was messier than it should have been, I had plans to vacuum and clean the kitchen Friday morning, but he ended up sweeping and vacuuming for me. ( I hate the vacuum, so brownie points for that one. )

We met the inlaws and had our first real date. The Winchester Mystery house was a nice tour, and we did the extended tour that includes some rooms not on the original tour. He is a gentleman and treated me really well the whole weekend. I could totally get used to this! We had dinner at an Irish pub in Santana Row. It was busy and reminded me of when I lived there. He has mesmerizing eyes that are mostly blue with a gold band around the iris. In pics they appear brown, but in person, they are mostly blue. SIGH!!! I could look at them all day long!....
At one point this weekend I had a headache and was rubbing my head, only to burst a tiny bloodblister and have blood gushing all down my face.... pretty normal shenanigans around here, but they are representative of any normal day here in my everyday life.

We are very compatible and I think I may have found my one and only one!!!!

So you are moving to Alaska, dang, it's cold up there. But at least you will have someone to keep you warm. It's great that you had a good weekend... vacuuming and sweeping, WOW !!! He's a keeper for sure. Now what?

Are you selling all your Boer's? I love that white kid, very sharp looking.
