Raise Your Glass

So my Mom desperately wants Joel and I to have a baby. It doesn't matter how many times I tell her that we're not quite ready yet. She drops hints at every opportunity. She even expressed disapproval when I got my contraceptive implant a few months ago! Call me old school but I feel that this isn't normal. She's forever harping on about how Joel and I would make great parents. And I hope that we will. When the time is right. And I'm not sure that this is that time. Sure, if it were to happen then I'd embrace that, but we're definitely not aiming to become pregnant any time soon. Besides, Missa is a whole sixteen months older than me. If anyone's having a baby then it should be her.

In other news, Dad wrote me. We've been writing back and forth occasionally. I haven't mentioned that Mom's seeing someone, and I don't plan to. I feel that it's up to her to decide whether she wants him to know that or not.

Missa, Serena, Joel and I met Alex's kids - well, adult and teenager - for the first time last week. His son, Ollie, is 26 and works in construction. A real gentleman. He lives in Calabasas with his girlfriend and has awesome taste in music! Alex's daughter, Kaitlin, is 16. She lives with her Mom during the week and spends weekends with her Dad, and also has great taste in music. She's definitely a little shy but super sweet. I can't wait to get to know them both.

Life is pretty sweet right now.
