I make my own boundaries…you make yours! I have no idea what my limit is as far as plastic surgery is concerned. Let’s just say this, if my fathers genetics don’t play a huge role in my process of aging then I will be on the chopping block by the age of 40!  For the first time in my life, I am seeing some things in the mirror that I’m not exactly happy with.  I am a big believer that stress will put more miles on you than anything and Lord only knows I have endured my fair share of that recently.  

Now, keep in mind I am well aware that some of my stress is self inflicted.  So I am very much about living drama-free for the next…well, the rest of my life. With an exception of this incident I typically receive Botox every 6-9 months.  I like to wait for full range of motion to return before I paralyze myself again. Perhaps I will have an IV drip in my later years but for now I do it when I’m in the mood. That may be once a year or may be less. It may be more.   

Watching Hadley’s date — sure,  I would go out of town for a date! In fact I have.  Now, I made sure that I had proper sleeping arrangements… by that I mean The 4 Seasons, Peninsula, Ritz, St. Regis and also –sleeping arrangements alone! Just because you fly me to see you doesn’t mean I will be asking you to join me in bed. Like Granny says, “why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?” 

Everyone’s been asking about Bubbles. And here’s the thing — in the midst of my separation, one of our agreements was that I would not take our family pets. We had 2 dogs and I knew that as much as I loved them – my stepson would, of course, be devastated. So I would “housesit” for my ex when he was vacationing. Yes, I know it sounds a little strange, but hey, whatever works. Well, after fulfilling a 2 week long duty of “housesitting,” I was terribly sad when I left them. In hindsight, it was a whole bundle of emotions, leaving what was once my home, missing my family, etc. (FYI, probably not healthy to go emerse yourself in your old life when you are trying to move forward).

When I finally made my departure, I was a bumbling mess! I knew right then and there that I needed to get myself another Yorkie. So I called the breeder that was responsible for Thistle, my first, to see if she had a baby for me. Indeed, it was my lucky day. Not only did she have a dog but she had Thistles’ neice. Without even a pic I hopped in my car and away I went! The rest is history. 

Bubbles will soon be three and I cannot tell you how much love I have for that little girl.  She’s got quite the persinality and I just love it.  Shes infectious!  Everybody loves her, especially Jeff. (its kinda funny to see Bubbles prancing along side him)  Honestly, there are times when think Jeff may love her even more than I do!  

Although she’s not your typical 3 pounder. She loves her walks, plays fetch, chews on bones and yes, is obsessed with Becky.  Let me give you a brief explanation of Becky — when I was unpacking I came across a Yorkshire terrier stuffed animal that mom had given my stepson at some point.  He had given it to me because he thought that would help me when I missed our “family” dogs. I know, that’s just plain sweet! So I thought it would be a fun little toy for Bubbie to play with. Well, little did I know that she would take such a liking to her.  It was love at first sight.             

As for her humping, I say, “hump on, Bubbie!” Come on, if it works for her - then who am I to judge? I do limit her time with Becky. She has become a bit obsessive recently and I just find it obnoxious. So Bubbles and Becky have conjugal visits. For 1 hour per day she is free to hump til her little heart’s content. Otherwise it’s the daily duties of sleeping, eating, chewing on bones, and barking.  I just can’t bear to separate the two permanently! 

You can even check her out on Facebook. Her name is Bubbles Lynne Frey.

I loved the fact that Julie was ready and willing to go on her date!  Julie loves a witty guy and I knew that she was going to find Cody fun and intriguing. So yes, I was very excited for their date and just estatic when I heard how well it went.  Can’t wait to see what happens in episode 7!!
