The weekend was fun and the concert was hot but a blast. On Friday night my youngest had a sleepover so I took my oldest out to dinner, then the dr. came over after for a bit. Saturday my oldest had a soccer game in the morning and then I took her and my youngest over to a friends house to spend the night. The Dr. and I got downtown around 1:30 then hit up a couple of local breweries, got tipsy and almost passed out in the hotel room before the concert. We rallied though, had dinner at the sports bar in the hotel and made it over to the concert around 8:30. The timing was actually really perfect as the Pumpkins went on around 9:30 so we were not out baking in the sun. The concert was awesome however once we got back to the hotel we were so hot, and tired we just passed out. Sunday morning we woke up, went and had brunch and then went home. Yesterday afternoon we went out on the boat and the Dr. came out with her son so I took him out on the Jetski and he was smiling ear to ear. Back to work today and I am kid free so I am looking forward to some down time. I will see the dr. on Tuesday night and then not until Friday.

Not much has changed with us as things are really boring. There is no drama, we haven't fought yet, but I don't feel like I am doing things or giving in on things that would cause resentment to build up that would make us fight. Truthfully the only thing that is kind of annoying is her son just in the way he acts. Outside of school and Cub Scouts he really hasn't made any friends to have play dates with so all he knows is getting his own way. When he doesn't get his way or someone doesn't go along with what he wants to do he can't handle it and gets upset.

I am starting to see different sides of her as well especially recently due to some job stuff she is dealing with and how she handles. She is very frugal, not emotional, she is not one of those peppy, cheerleader types, that is a chatty Cathy, social life of the party.. She is very matter of fact, very clinical, very honest and that has caused some unhappiness at her practice with some of the people that work for her. Her attitude is I am the Dr. and if you don't like get the F out because I am not changing, it's my practice. I have had to give her some things to think about, obviously she asked for my opinion but while true it might not be the best way to handle your team.

So I guess some of the newness is wearing off, I will meet her sister this weekend, her mom next month along with her xh. She has still not met my parents but that probably won't happen until the holidays. I had a friend ask me yday if the R was serious, asked me if I loved her, if we had plans to move in with each other, and followed up with (Like your XW), then asked if I was attracted to her. It kind of torqued me a little bit because I felt like they were comparing and contrasting. I do love the Dr. but I don't love her like my XW. That love was naïve and innocent. I don't think I will ever love that way again or at least not for a long time. Yes I am attracted but it's not a slow and subtle attraction not this OMFG I am speechless sort of thing. The Dr. is a sweet, kind, and caring person who is very attractive but I am way more attracted to her inside, who she is as a person, than I am her outward physical appearance.

I guess that's it not much else is going on in the world of J9.
