Neighbors, Scottland and More TMI
While dinner was simmering last night I stepped out into my backyard with a glass of wine to enjoy the amazing weather we've been having. I heard a quiet "Hello.." and turned to find the male half of my neighbors was enjoying HIS backyard as well. We're only separated by a 3.5' wrotiron fence so it was pretty simple to wander over and chit-chat for a little while. The thing is, I'm not really sure how to take my neighbors. First off my neighbor looks like this guy I used to date. So much so that I swear they are twins separated at birth. Despite this I always manage to be a picture of decorum whenever we run into each other in the backyard or while both leaving the house. He's an extremely intelligent and eclectic man who's fun to talk to, and I think we could probably be friends, BUT whenever his girlfriend is around he clams up. It's the WIERDEST thing. We'll be standing there, talking and/or joking and suddenly he'll perk up and go... I think D's (his girlfriend) awake or her car will pull up out front and that's the end of the conversation. But, last night, while we were talking his girlfriend came the back door and announced, "N is home you two better break it up!" I think my jaw dropped to the floor. All I could think was... WTF!? It kind of pissed me off really, insinuating that I was involved in something I was trying to keep from my honey. In retrospect I realized that I probably DO run off every time N shows up, just because I would rather be talking to him then anyone else in the world. But her little snide remark STILL pisses me off.

In other news (don't I always have other news?) The Dr's visit was GREAT! My blood pressure was an amazing 110 over 70. I had one moment of panic when the Dr said "Sorry my hands are cold" and I thought OMG is she reading my blog? But then I realized that she probably just said that to everyone. Probably my only complaint was that she was a talker. Excuse me, but I REALLY don't want to talk about my JOB or think about the folks at work while I'm laying there with my `soul' bared. Really! All is good though! I've got my lovely pink pills back! Of course I can't start taking them until my period starts - I don't think I've EVER looked so forward to my monthly! Finally, we can have a `spontaneous' relationship again!

OH! And Scotland (and our wedding) may not be a distant dream. I actually looked at plane tickets the other night and for the time we're looking at going I could get tickets and a rental car for two weeks for $2000! That's tax, insurance and EVERYTHING! I might actually be getting married this year after all. Which is a good thing because I'm SO tired of people asking me "When are you going to get married again?" I have NO idea why the fact that we've been engaged since January 1st 2003 bothers people so much. Is it the fact that we're happy? Are they afraid that we'll spoil it for every other engaged couple? Are they waiting to get married so we can just get started being MISERABLE already!? (After all arn't all married couples miserable?) Weird!
