Angus dressed up as Angus Young, and I swear he took on Angus’ soul the way he played the electric guitar. The dude’s got skills! And Wiley rocked singing the first two songs with the not-so-subtle titles.
My guests have re-booked for next year after the MacDougalls’ mini-concert because I think they expect another Aussie barbie next year. I may have to book them not to disappoint the guests. They raised the bar.
I have attached photos and videos of how this afternoon went down.
I am sitting cross-legged on my bed with Bronwyn Bear, who, by the way, says hello. Barry said it was okay for his woman to look after me a little longer, but he gets to have sleepovers twice a week. Angus calls them conjugal visits.
I missed Alice and Teagan. Your sisters are such kind and thoughtful humans.
Gwen misses you, and I admit I have a growing fondness for you that stretches to other feelings.
Please stay safe wherever you are. I don’t doubt you got called onto the job because you are good at what you do.
I know we hardly know each other, but why does it feel like our souls know more than we do?
Too forward?
Do I know your favorite flower?
Your favorite ice cream?
Your favorite color?
Your favorite song? More importantly, your favorite 70s/80s song?
Your favorite movie?
Confession time.
I think about you from time to time a lot.
*coughImissyoucough*
It is as simple and as complicated as those three words.
I wasn’t looking for you, Tucker Royal. Our paths crossed, and then you wouldn’t let go. You were determined to spend time with me and get to know me. You played dirty, introducing me to your sisters. You fed me, sangria’d me, and Sweet-Aliced me. You speed-dated me over twenty-four hours, revealing more and more of Tucker Royal.
I didn’t want to like you more than friendship status because that can raise its head like a viper and hurt, but you now know the pain I carry—my dark secret.
I spoke with Gwen over rum and raisin about her telling you. She was only looking out for me.
We will need to talk about it, you and me. I know what you wrote, but it is significant for any relationship—for a future with a man.
I didn’t want to miss you, but it seems I have no control over that emotion.
But here I am in that place of limbo.
So now all I need you to do is stay safe, so all the effort you’ve put into getting into my heart and panties doesn’t come back to bite me.
I will be here when you are ready to return, and we can work on all the elephant-in-the-room complicated.
I have twelve furry children, the Mighty MacDougalls, a growing sisterhood, and the Fainting Goat Ranch to nurture. And you have responsibilities with your family, work, friends, and a mysterious side to your life I don’t yet fully understand. So there is a river of complicated to cross.
I am rambling on. It might have to do with the high I am still riding from the fantastic day I have had and the five shots I drank with our friends as they helped me make toasts to the beautiful memories of my family.
Life is sweet.
Who knew I would have so many new friends in such a short time because a guy I hardly knew wanted me to see past his cocky alter-ego? He risked letting me see underneath all that cocky.
