This morning DD and I both woke up kinda late (7:30AM). I got a text from W around 8AM: "Good morning-what time do you want me to pick up DD?"

I thought it was a slight change in her tone to say good morning. Normally she just gets to the point. I replied back "Hi, can you be here by 9AM? I have to leave at 9:15AM".

She replied back "yeah, I'll be there by 8:45AM or so".

Then I rushed to get DD to brush her teeth, get dressed and then get myself ready before STBXW showed up. When she got here she was pleasant like she always is. It's hard to look at her and not give her a hug but I usually don't look at her too much. Anyway, DD saw her and hugged my leg saying 'I want to stay with daddy' kinda playfully. Aww that felt nice. I turned to W and said 'no, she missed you'. I gave DD lots of hugs and told her I'd pick her up from school on Mon. She still kept saying playfully she didn't want to go with mommy...so STBXW said 'ok I'm leaving then'. Of course that's not what DD wanted so she said 'mommy, for real?'. I told her 'no but you should go so you can play with your friend there'. She said 'I want to stay at my own house'. I looked at W and jokingly said 'I guess we'll need three separate houses then'. Anyway, DD finally left and I got ready for my bike ride with my friend.

Got to ride for a while, this time mostly on bike trails around the Newport bay. Saw a few cute girls running. At one point my friend joked 'Hey I got some napkins if you want to wipe the drool off your face'. Not that I was drooling or even looking that hard but there were several cute girls out today. It's weird that even when I see an attractive girl I like her but when I picture myself with her it's hard. I always think...jeez all my quirkiness, oddities etc how will she even accept me or know me like my STBXW did.

Anyway, we went to a famous taco place off Pacific Coast Highway called Chronic Tacos. Had a big lunch and just got home around 2pm. I've got a lot of stuff to do so we'll see how I can get it all done:
