Sorry Tatts, as much easier that would have made my life, I just don't roll that way. Believe me, I have given it a good thought and can't see a shred of gayness in me, as often as I have been called it.

It's been five days. I cannot stop talking to this woman I just met. It's effortless and it's wonderful. Here's hoping it goes on and on.

50 years of UTexas research shows spanking has many of the same outcomes as abuse, to similar degree, and all detrimental. So basically it does the opposite of intention. Pretty interesting stuff.

IT'S A TRAP!

It was a delicious and delightful lunch date. Another type of get-together will soon occur. Very happy.

Aliens was released 30 years ago.

And so, my partner bought me the Aliens Anniversary Lootcrate.

I got the recent Mass Effect special edition lootcrate and it was pretty awesome so I'm pretty excited to see what the Aliens one comes with.

I've also spent the day playing 'facehugger' and 'chestburster' with my son.

I also brought our black ninja-cat, Kalam, inside to act as a xenomorph for my son and I to locate and destroy (by 'destroy' I mean throw a teatowel over him).

I also taught my son to say 'Stay frosty' and 'Game over, man. Game over!'

I plan on watching 'Aliens' with and without the commentary later tonight.

I was going to make chestburster cupcakes but Ripley and I ate all the cookie dough I was planning to model the chestbursters out of.

The only downside is that my son won't let me be Ripley. :) So I keep switching between being Hicks and Vasquez.

That might make us a little bit Southern since I have always wanted you to be my daddy.

Had a very interesting chat with a fellow recreational pharmaceutical abuser today. He pointed out that seeing as how I'm single with no family I should look into a sober living house outside the borders of the US.

VERY intriguing thought.

And my freedom is pretty much assured. All the paperwork is in, an affidavit is signed by both my ex and I saying the court date is not necessary since all documentation is agreed upon with nothing outstanding, and my ex took the mandatory parenting-after-divorce class (which allowed me to get the kids an extra night :) ).

I think this is it. I am done unofficially, with the official documentation sometime mid next month. SUCH A RELIEF! I am finally free.

Works for me.


---
There are two playgrounds at our local shopping centre. One is inside and one is outside. I prefer taking Rip to the outdoor one as there tends to be more dads there with their kids than the one inside. (As a general rule, I try to avoid other mothers in order to avoid 'mothers'. You know, those 'holier than thou' types who make jokes about their 'useless' husbands and make casual judgements about other parents/children, and whose child/ren are perfect little prodigies etc).

There were two dads and I there and somehow we started talking about the television shows our kids like to watch. Then we started to discuss milestones.

Dad 1 - 'T goes to one of those Montessori schools. I think it's a bunch of shite but my wife is into all those 'advance child' programs. She used to play Mozart to T before he was even born. But he still eats dirt and insists on wearing his nappies on his head. I think he gets it from me.'

Dad 2 - 'L keeps insisting that green is pink. Pink is still pink but so is green. My wife thinks it means she is coloured blind. I explained how there's no colourblindness on either side of our family and that green/pink blindness isn't a thing but she's making us get her tested. I asked L to short some coloured blocks and she separated the green from the pink. I asked her why she called the green block pink and she said she didn't like the way green tasted in her mouth so she made it pink.'

Me - 'I've been trying to teach Ripley to count to three but he always counts '1,2,6,7,8,9,10,11,12'. Which makes no sense to me since his counting books only go up to 10.'

Dad 2 - 'Our kids are awesome.'

Dad 1 & Me - 'Yep.'

This is going to be our first long weekend (ie three day weekend) in about seven years where Matador doesn't have to work one of the days. Posted Image

Once we get the usual weekend stuff sorted tomorrow, we will have two and a bit days of unscheduled bliss.

Is the draft held on a single day? Do they televise it? *has no idea about NFL*
