Easy to learn and easy to get stuff made fast without a lot of work. Excellent for long trips!

Actually I met a man walking on the beach early one morning this summer. He was handsome, enough to smile at and…well…flirt shamelessly with. I noticed immediately that I was getting absolutely nowhere, I may as well have been a rock standing there. He asked if he could join me, said he was a tourist (we have trillion in Sandpoint in the summer) and we walked around the beach just chatting. He talked about wanting to have a baby, wishing that part of his life were fulfilled, and I talked about the joys and stresses of being a single mom, basically just sharing life stories. As it happens, he’s a very close friend of my Aunt’s in Utah…small, small world! I met him and his husband for lunch, and realized immediately that it is indeed true, all gay men are hot, hot, hot. I spent the day just hanging out with them, showing them around town, etc. Since that day, and since meeting them, I am seriously considering volunteering up my goods as a surrogate mother for the two of them. They’ve been together for 10 years, they’re both sucessful financially, live in a beautiful clean home, have a close extended family, and are both so sad about not having a child. They are a foster family, and have had various foster children, but (especially in Utah) have had each child reuinited with their birth families. Pro’s? Con’s? I’m leaning more and more towards doing it.

I saw an amazing episode of Oprah a while back, and it talked about how women in the middle East loved themselves and thought they were very beautiful, regardless of anyone else’s perception. It’s changed how I look at myself completely. I’m someone’s loving mother, someone’s beautiful child, and someone’s favorite big sister. I’ve been someone’s true love, first love and the cause of a first broken heart. 2 people and 5 animals rely on me for their basic life needs, I’ve taught children to read, puppies not to pee in the house and countless people how to sew/knit/garden etc. I’m a capable funny woman, and damnit, I do a lot if I sit down and write it out, say it out loud or just sit and think about it. I have a million stretch marks, have been a mother since the age of 18 and live paycheck to paycheck etc, etc, but when I sit down and think about everything I’ve gotten right, I smile to my beautiful self :)
