Maybe I should be in piecing part 6?

Oh, you guys are exactly right. If there was ever a more F'd up show in the world, I don't know what it is. And some women LOVE it. What's that say about our world?

Everything is going the same here. Weekends great, weekdays, she's different.

We've had a great time so far this weekend. Went on a little tour of Amish country yesterday. She's talking about the future, etc, there's lots of body contact, I had my hand on her leg in the car quite a bit and she even would move her hand there and kind of hold my hand. Golly did that feel good.

At one point we were sitting in our favorite winery/gift shop having a glass of wine and W started talking about EGF's upcoming wedding and all the stuff she's having to go through to get married in the Catholic Church because her BF is Catholic and she's not. I just sat and listened. W said something about the BF's parents possibly not knowing about one of EGF's two marriages. I said "If I was his dad, I would be concerned" and W kind of got snippy with me. I said "I'm not trying to be mean, but if I was his dad I would be concerned. She's 26, has been married and divorced twice, the last marriage only ended a year ago and now she's engaged to my son?" W said "you're just trying to be mean". I said "no I'm not, can you honestly tell me that if OUR son came home at 26 and said he was going to marry a woman he's only dated for one year that is also 26 and has been married and divorced twice already, and our son has a great job and makes a lot of money that you wouldn't be concerned?" W said "she's not like that". I said, "she might not be, but she's still pretty young and obviously has not made some very good decisions so far, so I would be concerned".

So then W went into how F'd up EGF's family is, dad is a drug addict, mom is an alcoholic, step dad used to slap EGF around and I just listened. It was everything I could do to not throw out about a thousand truth darts there, but I didn't. EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES. Guess that's why W and EGF get along so well. They can sit around and tell each other that none of what they've done in life is their fault and they have no responsibility for what they've done.

But it didn't change her mood for the day. We left there, headed home and went to dinner at the little restaurant down the hill from us. W crashed on the couch fairly early and ended up sleeping there for the night. That's ok with me. It was a really good day and I don't know if it means I'm detaching more and more or what, but I just don't know if I really would be all that upset if we didn't make it in the end. Of course, it doesn't help that I just watched "Leaving Sarah Marshall". If you've never seen it, make a point to. Kind of makes me feel like I'd be better off on my own.

Talk to everyone later.
