Regularly
I shouldn’t call this book “weekly” since I’ve been bad about writing in it weekly. I should rename it “every few months.” Here are some updates. Jayson got an unexpected promotion at work due ...
Crystal
So I’ve made a friend out here finally. It took a long time. Of course, I’ve never been very good at making friends. Rachel has said about me that I’m an enigma because I’m super friendly pers...
Like that
So we’re married in the temple now. It’s not a huge change to anything since we were already married, but it felt good to have a church wedding and be sealed. The process includes us getting ou...
No photos
So we’re getting married in the temple next month. Rachel was a little miffed with me when I told her she wouldn’t be able to attend because only certain people are allowed in the temple. I hadn...
B drama
Jayson got LA Rams tickets for last Sunday through his company and he invited Guy to go with him. Well, he invited me first, but I declined. I wouldn’t have enjoyed myself and we would have had...
A few things
Several things to update about. Jayson and I are getting married in the temple in February. We’ve already been married so this is just a secondary ceremony to do it in the temple. I feel like t...
Visit
Jayson is traveling for work and will be gone for 10 days. He gets home finally on Wednesday and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m counting the hours. I don’t mind a little time to myself ...
Two confessions
Jayson and I don’t use profanity. It’s a relatively new thing for us. I used to be extremely profane. I admit it. I was one of those Boston girls that punctuated everything I said with swear ...
New
I finally found a new urologist here. It’s hard finding new doctors after moving to a completely different place. And since most people who see urologists tend to be men, and men who are going ...
Dressing
Rachel asked me if I would be her date to a work event next Friday night because her husband isn’t available. I have no idea why Guy can’t make it since he’s unemployed and never seems to have m...
Fat
A pair of shorts I bought in April doesn’t fit me anymore. It’s my own fault, of course, because as much as I’ve complained about my weight gain over the last year or so, I’ve done nothing to tr...
There and back
I spent last weekend in Oxnard and Santa Barbara, and I think the next time I go out there it will be to stay. I flew into LAX and Rachel picked me up because Jayson was working. It was nice to...
Moving
A lot has happened and I’ve been so awful about writing here lately. I really want to get back into writing weekly. I’m kind of upset with myself that I’ve failed at that. Many weeks ago now, J...
Lampshade
About a month ago, my mother contacted me and asked if I was interested in buying the house from her. The house we live in is hers. It’s a huge three-story with a big yard in a nice part of Bos...
Better
Rachel came to visit for a few days this week and I really had forgotten how much I miss her. I cried in the airport when I picked her up. Completely unexpected tears that just happened spontan...
Strong
I’ve fallen behind with updates here and I feel like there are several things bouncing around in my brain that I want to share. About two weeks ago, a strange man knocked on our door and served M...
Helpful
I think I gave Megan some helpful advice today. She seemed receptive to it, and that made me happy. She has been talking about getting a job. As she points out, she has plenty of money (I have...
Weird
Very mixed feelings about having Megan around. She’s a very different person than Rachel. I missed Rachel so much when she left, but in many ways having Megan here is better. Rachel and I used...
Brown
I wrote an entry last week about Christmas with my mom and dad and somehow lost it before I could save it. I was a little heartbroken because I’d put some thought into it, writing about how much...
Megan update
This is the email that Megan send out to the whole family nearly two weeks ago now: “I just wanted to let everyone know that Lauren and I have decided to separate. This is not the end for us, and...
Just east of Tampa
So we got to my moms’ place earlier today. It’s been a busy day so far already and it’s still early. The flight was fine, except for the whole thing with having a baby on my lap and two young ...
The decision
I’ve been talking with my therapist a lot ab out masturbation. I get the impression that regular healthy masturbation is her normal suggestion for people that visit her with sexual problems like...
Easy
I hate sleeping alone every night. I’m not going to complain that Jayson has a job and that he can support a family of five without me working. I think that’s great. I just really wish he was ...
More fighting
I asked Rachel if she would talk to mom and Cheryl about my concerns for Thanksgiving, and she pretty much said no. She said if nudity was so OK for me just 18 months ago that I happily had a nu...
The conflict
So my moms invited us all to their place for a big family Thanksgiving. We haven’t all been together like that since my wedding and I know it’s been a while and it sounds like a good idea. But h...
