I got your little package today in the mail... and I am looking forward to my reading, especially with THE lunch being tomorrow.... (think of me and how many shades of red I may turn tomorrow afternoon)... and with Joey's comments today to LOL at, and with the stress I had at work today, well... I'm looking forward to the reading...
I did not see a couple of pages though and was hoping you could scan those and email them to me... pages 402 and 403 are missing... would you mind? :)
Thanks again for thinking of both Joey and I... I was surprised with the extra pages you included... had I told you when the other's birthday was?
*hugs*

Well, I need some psychic help.

So let's think about this.....
I'm sure that you trust Blake's judgement, right? And perhaps he sees something that you don't. What about Brooke? Does she feel the same way?
But on the other hand, perhaps he IS just being very protective of you. I'm sure he doesn't think that things were wonderful before Ken moved out, so maybe he wants to just save you from the heartache.
The girls still don't know about my sweetie, beyond he's my friend. We bumped into him about 5 times this weekend for one reason or another and after he left my house the last time, Gracie was waving goodbye and said, "He's a very nice man, isn't he? He really likes us!" I almost fell over. What a weird thing for an 8 year old to say!! I think they know.
Or maybe Blake just thinks he's weird because he's the polar opposite of his father AND Ken!!!!
~calla~ mom to rosie and gracie
Brooke is fine... and I thought Blake was fine.

Hmmm... that's a toughie... has Blake been this way at all about any other men since you've divorced or is this a new thing? I mean, he could just be looking out for you, which is sweet on some levels... I guess I would try to do something that brings them together again... but give it a week or so, just so Blake has some time... and see if those feelings are still there...
I wish I had more advice for ya but you know, I'm still trying to figure out a five year old's mind... let alone a 17 year old :)

Well... just wanted to let you know that Gwen was up to her old tricks today... so I had tried to re-book lunch for the four of us for the end of this week, last week when Gwen was out of the office... but B's calendar was fully booked--he told me he was gonna open it up, but when I looked this morning, it was even more booked (as in all week, every day, all day)... then I got busy, oh, you know, doing my job and... then I get an IM from Gwen about how I should be the one to invite B to lunch this time... so I go into the above about how I had tried and she just laughs because apparently B had then kept his word and opened up his calendar...
So, at one point it is decided that I'm "scared" which is why I'm not taking action... scared, maybe, but shy is a much better word for it... but there is a part of me that doesn't want to make our work relationship weird (sorry Karen, I know its Blakes Word of the Day, but I couldn't think of another :) ) as we are working closely on a couple of things right now...
I grew up in a don't ask, don't tell family... (in many ways, actually)... My Mom's family doesn't really talk emotions... they're stoic... and no one outside of the family gets this, though my cousin and I talk about it all the time... I'm not one to talk about a lot of things, let alone talk about some other things at ALL... I mean, that's just private...
So, today's little message from Gwen included the phrase, so are you so scared that when I lay him out for you, you're not going to pounce? Pounce? I don't know that I've ever considered myself a pouncer...
but there's a part of me that was embarrassed by just this thought... and somewhat more concerned about this yet to be scheduled lunch...
