Dang, you got some sleuthing skills!

Very interesting. I am glad you are being cautious because who knows sometimes? Have you googled him extensively to determine that he is a real person and what he has told you is true? I was able to figure out DH's full name pretty quickly that way and then to confirm via property records that he did own homes where he said he did. I also cross-checked pictures on Linked-in to his dating site picture and checked that he showed as previously employed at a couple of companies he mentioned (As CFO he had been listed on their sites at one point). And some of those white pages type sources showed him as associated with his kids. I did have at least a couple of fakers send notes on the dating site but I googled everyone once I got enough info to confirm (or not) that they were real. One guy said he was a Diamond Merchant to which I replied that I had buried treasure in the backyard. His profile disappeared a minute later.

If your marriage can survive this remodel you are in great shape! I would be incredibly stressed out.

205.1 Crap-o-licious eating comes home to roost! LOL! It's all good. The uptick is expected and deserved.

I woke up super cranky. No big surprise. I need to do a little mental house cleaning. A nice long flight tomorrow will be helpful for that. I am amused that I now look forward to long flights. I find them restful. That probably speaks to my busy life.

My new J Crew shorts came yesterday. Really nice quality and at 58% off I can't complain! Also super duper nice to be able to order a "normal" size and find the fit to be fantastic!

Shot day yesterday.

Not much else going on.

Happy wedding, Paula ! Anne, glad you are still married ! I get the paint quality thing! Liz, Mike looks great (you too) on FB photo. CC, when do you leave for Michigan ? DD & Peps... hang in there ! Almost at the finish line ! Diane, no spring peas !? The horror! Like Anne, I'm trying to catch up on posts.

Interesting update in my potential relationship. After I was triggered and believed I was being set up for being catfished...I blocked all communication. I really thought I had found something wonderful. Four days after we "met" he was offered a design contract in South Africa, requiring him to be there a little less than a month. When he had an arduous customs experience and two of his six pieces of luggage were stolen, my first thought was... "Here it comes, he's going to ask for money !", and I shut down communication. We had been in contact by email and had not yet met or talked on the phone. After four days, someone called me while I was in my car, and the list of recent calls was on the screen, and there were four blocked calls from him, one each day. I thought maybe I had jumped the gun. Sent an email and told him I would unblock my phone for 24 hours and a virtual call was what I needed, in order to take care of myself. (I needed to see his eyes, verify that he looked like his pictures, and establish what his voice sounds like.) He gladly did it, and understood my motivation/request. We'll continue to communicate while he's away, before we can meet in person.
