I'm embarrassed that some of my favorite blogs have 20 posts waiting on me to read. My Baby/EDA folder stands at 194 entries. At 200, it'll stop adding them.
I really don't want to miss any news and will try to buckle down later today. I am so sorry to have not kept up or commented. Thank you if you commented here nonetheless.
Also on the slate for today - birds and bees. They'll do the videos at school for 5th graders in a week. I watched them Friday in the school library on my own. I have been woefully shy about having an informed son, which is really contrary to my world view and I am embarrassed. I'll try to make up for it today. The school's videos and slides really concentrated on the effects of puberty, what happens with fertilization, and the types of STDs there are. The latter just curled my toes, as all viral ones were linked together and associated with things like death. Ugh.
None talked about what sex is or specifically how that damn sperm is deposited in order to meet that damn egg. I just shake my head thinking how easy the union sounds and how scared all girls (in particular) are of their own fertility. Funny how that plays out for some of us. Or, actually, not so funny.
I got an interesting email from a local woman I'd emailed maybe two months ago. She'd seen my ad much like the Indian woman did, but she was in the process of moving, seemed quite busy, so we lost touch. Imagine my surprise to get her email today saying she'd met this Indian woman (although she wasn't her type), discussed this online source, and then my name came up. Jeez, it is a small world. Apparently the Indian woman did not disclose the reason she thought she and I were so incompatible, so this woman contacted me for another go around.
It is plum amazing. I guess one or the other of them put up an ad there. I had only done the one ad, got maybe 6-8 people who responded, but only had two people I'd go out with. These two people. Eerie, huh?
I haven't decided whether or not to pursue it. The Indian woman scared me too much. I appreciate her not blabbing my personal business, but I kind of feel like she's setting me up. Yeah, I'm paranoid.
At present, I don't want to consider myself to be in an exclusive relationship with Lyd. I have this capacity (good or bad) to compartmentalize feelings and not want or demand more out of a person than I am able to accept. I have that sort of relationship with Richard as well. I love him, but I don't have to possess him. Of course, Lyd does not think in these terms.
Let me get to sleep and recharge for a big day.

I think as long as you're honest with people about what kind of relationship you want, then you are at liberty to date others. That is a long distance between you and Lyd and it would be hard to have a committed relationship depending on how often you were able to visit each other.
Yeah, honesty is the best policy. And sleep works wonders...
It's amazing how much better I feel simply after stringing together a few DECENT NIGHT'S SLEEP...
But I had two more words for the Wii vs XBox debate: GUITAR HERO!
(got it for Z's XBox - I know there is a Wii version, but supposedly a little more technically difficult to play?)
Anyway, it is BIG FUN, I had to go out & buy a 2nd guitar so we could play TOGETHER...
Eh, you didn't miss much from my blog, but I hope you get plenty of rest and get to recharge. It's the best.
Cricket, would you like to play Saturday Scavenger Hunt? Tara has tagged you to pick a word. Want to play? Pleeeeeaaassee?
