Loving the Bad Man

I intended to get up by seven, slept in until 9. When I did finally manage to roll out of bed, I made a BIG bowl of blueberry, flaxseed oatmeal and coffee and have spent the last hour catching up on Scottee's blogs. Also while half watching, half listening to this really crappy movie on Netflix. Sometimes, I like to find crappy lovey dovey, religious, unrealistic movies about women and relationships and I like to pretend it is like Lifetime.

Back to the blogs, I have missed not reading them. I dog sat all last week, before that I went home for a few days and the last several I have been working doubles. Blah.

Kim is in Washington with April, Dustin and the babies. Kim says Quinten has turned into quite the little milk spitting up fountain. Gross.

I need to go do laundry and get boxes to start packing this place up.  Definitely making a donation box and a trash box. I want to grab meat out for Nico tonight. I hope we have time to cook. I am in the mood for that mans cooking.

Juan Bell and Carlos were having a man-to-man, heart-to-heart talk the other morning about Carlos's GF and her lack of wanting to combine households. She has a little girl and went through a bad divorce a little while ago. Carlos said it would never get to the point where he would kick her out. However, that is what she is concerned with, if something happens, she doesn't want to be out on the street with a little girl.

He was talking about how she should take a risk. Juan Bell said hey there is your problem you are calling it a risk to be with you. The definition of risk, a situation involving exposure to danger.
Juan said she needs to take a chance. Chance, the possibility that something will happen, often personified or treated as a positive agency. Juan says risk involves danger where as chance involves an adventure. She has already been in a situation that was risky, she won't want  that again. Juan said maybe Carlos should give her a little more time.

Love Juan, he is around 50 years old and a good guy. He is such a positive person. I loved hearing this talk, made me miss dad and my uncles, how they used to man talk for hours, laugh, raise their voices, talk over one another, give advice, get really serious and silent, then go back to more laughing.

This made me think quite a bit about my own future with a certain someone. I am unsure what it will bring, but I think I would be ok with chancing it.

Going to end this with some tunes.
