So... What can you two tell me about Sam Campbell? Just out of curiosity.

Still, you should check Chicago out, it's incredible. Your baby bro's dad's parter's daughter and all that. No, Mark's the one out of that embryonic deal that needs watching.

I'll check it out. I love going to the shows. Still say Footloose was my favorite with Stewart. LOL! Gen's got her hands full.

I think us lot are in the double-digits of how many times we've seen Footloose. It never gets old. Dirty Dancing is amazing, though. Kyan makes you want to come in your panties. I hear Mark's more than one healthy handful... and considering he's an identical twin...

I think my kiddo talked about Justin for a month after that. He still talks about him sometimes. Holy shit, that sounds... Well, very Dirty Dancing-esque. Wait... OMG. Well, I guess I can't complain about that. Nor would I want to.

There's another little kiddo at the hospital who thinks Justin is a god. Beau was telling me about him. Oh, it is and I had to see it preggo. You sound reserved though.

That's the cutest thing ever. And Justin's so good with them. I know he goes to visit the Rainbow Room whenever he can. OMG, so the hormones were raging? I am a little, but it's not because of Sam. It's because of... Well, my ex and everything. I haven't been on date in ages, and I like Sam a lot. I don't want to screw anything up. There's still this... I don't know, this weird twinge of fear. Not even really fear of Sam so much as fear that my ex will somehow know what's happening and hurt me or the boys because of it. I know he won't. He can't. It's irrational. But it fucks with me just the same.

I think he understands pain. Pain is a language you can only speak if you've felt it. The more you've felt it, the better you speak it. Yes, they were raging. I nearly climbed up on stage and pushed Baby off so he would hump me instead. Thank fuck for Clitty. I understand the fear, and it's natural. But if you really feel ready to try dating again, you need to gift yourself with remembering Sam isn't your ex. Or you won't know how to truly open up to him.

[independenceday]

I can definitely understand that. I think it's why support groups can be such a good thing... to be reminded that you're not the only one and speak to people who get it. LMAO! I can almost see you doing that, too. Clitty's a hell of a friend to have, that's for sure. Sam's about the farthest thing from my ex that I can think of. I want to give him a real and fair chance.

[americanskin]

I know they can, but Justin doesn't do well in group therapy because he's not guaranteed privacy of what he reveals there. I'd probably have scared Kyan away, poor kid. You should be honest with him about your ex, so he knows what your past is.
