I'm in La-La Land

Thursday night was the night that I took Gabby to Obi-Wan's restaurant so they could meet each other. It was also the first night that I would be seeing him in his full Star Wars regalia. Gabby, Velma, Mi-Mi, and I got to the restaurant and were completely catered to. Obi-Wan and Gabby warmed right up to each other. He had her laughing, and my daughter was completely flirting with my boyfriend. Up to this point though she didn't know he was my boyfriend. Every character in the restaurant came by to say hello to Gabby and me. It was very nice (and the fried shrimp with lemon butter was DELICIOUS...thank you, baby!). The balloon lady wouldn't even let us tip her because Gabby was the daughter of Obi-Wan's girlfriend. It was so much fun. Even Mi-Mi who can be bored easily seemed to be having a blast. After we left, Obi-Wan said that everyone said really nice things about both Gabby and me.

On Saturday, Obi-Wan came over and went swimming with Gabby and me. It was unbelievable the way she just ran up and hugged him after she had only met him once. I'm feeling a little uneasy about it because it seems a little fast, but I am learning not to overanalyze so much.

Saturday night everyone went out to see Mr. Incredible's band play. Josh was supposed to go with us, but he got tired and bailed. Before that, though, Josh and I went and had dinner at THE restaurant so that Obi-Wan and Josh could meet. Everything seemed to go well. I'm sure Josh really wanted to make fun of Obi-Wan in his costume with his British accent, but he refrained and only said good things.

Sunday Obi-Wan and I went swimming with Gabby again. Mostly Gabby swam, I laid in the sun, and Obi-Wan laid in the shade (his Irish skin just can't take it) and read his book. We were out there for like 6 hours. Then we all ended up taking a nap together. Gabby found out this day that Obi-Wan is my boyfriend, and I'm still not sure how she's handling it. She seems a little jealous. It really may have been too fast, but she does really like him, so I don't know what's up.

Tomorrow I'm going tubing again. Tomorrow is also mine and Obi-Wan's one month anniversary. It seems like so much longer or shorter...I don't know! This has been the most awesome whirlwind I have ever experienced, and it just keeps getting better. I love him more and more everyday that I talk to him, see him, think about him....Gabby goes to her dad's again this weekend, so I have another 5 days of being able to wake up with Obi-Wan Kenobi. I can't wait. Puddles of drool, puffy eyes, beer breath, morning coughs, morning baby voices ... it all sounds glorious to me!!!

This picture was taken on the first night that I really hung out with the Cape Crusaders. It was the first night that I looked at J.C. (Obi-Wan) and said, "Hmmm, he's really cute, nice, and funny..." (I'd met him before). A couple of weeks later, and we started dating. J.C. is on the far left (before spiky, highlight hair and goatee), next is Mi-Mi, then my friend David from school, Little Matty, and in the corner behind me is Mr. Incredible.

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice. I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny. Tonight I will be out amongst all the other pa...
