And Harry is obsessed it seems, too. Claiming that he wants to know about my personal life out of "curiosity." But I like answering Harry's questions, because his ignorance and mistaken assumptions are seemingly boundless.
1. Harry said he thought I made up our wedding plans "on the spot."
My answer: No, Harry, if you recall, when we first announced our engagement, we talked about getting married in Scotland. We were going to plan for this summer, but we want family to attend, and with Joe in New Zealand, we decided to wait til next summer. We've been looking at castles for a long time. And we have matching leather bracelets with the coordinates within Scotland--the place we have always planned to marry.
2. My daughter was urged to take probation. Her bond is set to $0. She could get out on probation if she wanted to. She had the choice of 4 months in jail or 8 months of probation. Probation is set up to fail in Florida--ask anyone who has experienced it. That she made it as long as she did (almost three years) is a miracle in itself, because just about EVERYTHING is a violation of probation. Thinking your probation officer meeting was Friday instead of Monday and showing up on Friday instead of Monday? Instant arrest. Five mph over the speed limit? Instant arrest. Out walking your dog when the probation officer shows up at your door unannounced? Could be instant arrest. So, yes, she chose jail in lieu of probation. Probation is more stressful than jail, according to her. And yes, Rooster, she was clean and not using (Rooster is another obsessed person who gets everything wrong).
3. I haven't had "substantial time off." I work for a very good practice. I started to accrue paid time off the day I started. I have taken 24 hours of vacation to visit my daughter for graduation. That's it. Naples is a seasonal city. During the winter season, we are slammed. During the summer months, it's slower. Doctors are starting to take their vacations, and without them in the office, there's no one to x-ray, so I usually get my hours helping the marketing woman, doing other computer things. or helping restock. No mystery there. Sorry.
4. You go against what Forrest says in the Moby Dickens video when you say not finding the tc on a trip is a "failure." Watch it--he says you win every time you go search. I don't look at my search trips as "search trips." The only trip I went strictly to search was when I went to MT with Jamie. All the others were combined with vacation. I look at every "search" trip as an adventure, and like I've said a million times before, I don't care if I come home without monetary treasure, because the memories are an even better treasure. Even when I thought I had my 100% solve, I wasn't "humiliated," nor did I feel like I failed. Nearly everyone in this chase thinks they've been 100% at one time or another, and they have all come home empty handed, too. However, I haven't spent thousands and thousands of dollars going on hundreds of trips. I'm not obsessed with finding it. If I find it, I find it. If I don't, I don't.
Here's my almost 50 year old self enjoying some swimming yesterday because we didn't have patients in the afternoon (No PS, no filters, no makeup, btw):
And one with a filter, just for the heck of it. After all, most celebrities wouldn't dare post any picture without some manipulation or enhancement, so what rule says I have to post un-enhanced photos (like the one above) all the time?
Looking good Mindy! Davis is really losing it over there, he can't sleep now posting at all hours of the night.
