	arrived! Mar 31, 2008
Well, here I am in TEXAS of all godforsaken places lol..it's been a long road, but I made it. For anyone who cares to know, it's been fine so far. Arrived so so late Thursday, actually 12 am friday at the airport..straight to IHOP for food! Home for a stiff drink and sleep. On Saturday, I started roaming the neighborhood in the car, so cute, I wanted to go it alone but the 19 year old boy wouldn't hear of it so insisted I take him along. I agreed as long as he didn't help me too much and I promised R that I would call if really lost. I found R's brother's house and we all had a nice visit. Then I found Walmart, the Public Library nearby, Target, Pizza Hut JH!!, and did a couple of family errands like putting gas in the SUV. I felt very accomplished lol..But that night R asked me to make his favorite Italian dinner, Chicken Cacitore and spagetti. I made a salad and some spinach and man you had to see them eat! The 2 year old grandson ate so much we thought he would burst at the seams. S concluded that she would be in charge of laundry if I were in charge of food. R is a great cook in his own right so we will share kitchen duty. We revised the household laundry schedule and will tackle sleeping schedules tomorrow. Not looking forward to that one but it will be fine. Later that night, R, S and I got in to a serious discussion. I let her know as gently as I could that I feel she suffocates R and pays so much attention to him that T and I feel we have no choice but to take a step back. R wasn't pleased that I took that stand but then he made a point of including T in the talk and seemed to understand better. I do this odd thing you see, I leave the room when S gets all touchy feely like rubbing his temples, feet or back while I'm talking to him lol..I know I'm new at this but golly gee, not on my night sister! I really think the Henrickson's living arrangements are the best way to go, even if dinner is all en masse, after dinner hours ~ separate so the night doesn't just mean sex. Yanno? lol That will be the change to come the slowest but I have a feeling that as I settle in, everything will become easier. Thank goodness. Anyway my dear friends, R and I are doing the grocery shopping tomorrow! Weeeeeeeee! I look forward to it and to having an inpact on their eating habits. I look forward to my life here, I have faith in my husband I'll write more after a few days, right now just know that I'm safe and sound and home.

	polylady, I understand what you mean about maybe being lonely in a house by yourself, but trust me on this lol, there is no way to be lonely here. There are 10 of us all together and no fence etc. However, I am going to add here that I'm getting used to the living arrangement. It gets better each day. I think living alone for almost 2 years I got used to more privacy than most, but all things pass eventually right? take care and watch for new blog soon


	Figuring out time can be tough. Our family doesn't schedule sex at all, but alone time and talking occasionally we do. I gotta disagree with you on living arrangements,though. Having space is important, but I think I would be terribly lonely by myself in my own house.


	a new handle hmm, ok makes sense, I'll think about it. I'm not actually fully up for air and when the shipment of my things arrives later this week, I expect to be back under water for several days at least lol... The surprise was more than one. 1) a real Italian Vegetable garden all planted and growing. 2)A pretty flower garden 3) A desk in R's office just for ME. T & S have moved their things out of there and into a different room. 4) We met several years ago on an online game called Sims Online, at a pool table to be precise. We got close and our characters married on the game. We ran a pretty successful business there together. While I was packing R returned to the game, made a character for him and one for me and built a store for us to run, complete with a wall plaque above a pool table saying something like, this is where it all began etc etc it sounds silly I know but it was very sweet and romantic of him to remember


	LISM, First, you may need to change your "handle", "Dorothy, you aren't in Long Island anymore." LOL I am glad to hear you are there and sorta settled in or at least starting to. I really did not expect you to have time to come up for air so soon. Keep us posted on how you are. Withay


	Good stuff, L. I think you're doing fine. I have a very good feeling about you & S. I think there may be some sparks, but I think everything will even out eventually. Now, unless it's too personal, you tell us about the surprise!
