According to Patsy Clairmont, "Normal is just a setting on your dryer." For me, it's a comfort zone of where I live. Wednesday was a much better day, emotionally, and the evening went great. I am truly blessed to have such a great man enter my life.
We went to eat @ a small cafe in Celebration. It was good comfort food and as it was starting to get cold with the impending rain, it really hit the spot. I, of course, lean toward healthy food (meatloaf, mashed potatoes, squash medley and Caesar salad). Bob was down a pint in his daily "grease" quota, so he had fish and chips, also quite good because I HAD to taste it.
I don't know why the men in my life seem to gravitate to unhealthy food groups. Bob's not much on sweets and he also likes salads, but he really has the grease thing going on. My and my son Tom's appetite for all foods is actually an anomaly in my immediate family. Edward, Charles and the girls are very picky eaters. Bret is kind of "eclectic" in his taste. Julie will eat a lot of different things with a primary penchant for Chinese. This makes things very interesting when we get together for meal times.
Personalities are also varied in my group. Some are high maintenance; some not so much. It is always fun with the girls, but the guys are all leaders of some sort and there just really needs to be some followers at times. I look forward to all the impending holidays.
Celebrations can be a myrid of emotions. I'm already getting "suggestions" for the reception and that is supposed to be low key. I'm sure if it wouldn't be too obvious, I could even get ideas for how to spend the rest of my life. That certainly has been known to happen in my circles. Ah. Every day is a challenge and reward. That's what makes each day interesting in my world.
