So I'm in my second week of solitude. Kevin comes back next Tuesday morning. It's been pretty good, actually. The first 2 days were weird but since I've eased back into the groove of single living. I've hosted several huge keggers and the house is basically trashed, but it's been fun.
Last Friday I met a friend in person who I'd only spoken to on the Internet. She's from Oklahoma and her family was visiting Disneyland, so we met up for a soda at Downtown Disney. I was so clever, telling her that I'd meet her by the "A" in front of Disney's California Adventure. There are giant letters that spell out California and it's a convenient meeting place.
It wasn't until I was a few yards away that I remembered that "California" has two "A"s.
Not one of my brighter moments. But we hooked up anyway. It was really fun.
No other big plans. Friday was wine tasting (of course the GPS mapping system in the Prius lead me astray because it took me through Palos Verdes and PV has all of these windy streets that are blocked off in places with barriers so you can't go straight through, and the car doesn't know that). It was stupid--I just should have trusted my instincts and gone the way I recognized. Oh well, lesson learned.
This coming Saturday is a wine tasting at my parent's to celebrate the birthdays--Dad's is the 3rd and Brad's is the 2nd. Should be fun for that. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to bring the pups. I don't know that I can load both of them into the car by myself, but they love going to "Grandma and Grandpa's". So we'll see.
On the adoption front, I mailed off our request for our marriage certificates yesterday. Good times.
