I’m going to try to keep up on this blog and update it at least once a month. Goals, right?
So, I re-joined my former gym. The advantage is that my company pays a stipend towards it so basically I’m getting the membership 1/2 off. I know this is so, new year typical – join a gym, lose weight, etc. But, why the hell not? I say if you want to do it then do it. Don’t let anyone hold you back. Fortunately, even when I travel I can hit the gym because it’s nationwide.
Everything has been pretty chill since we got back from the beach in December. We had some friends over for dinner NYE and then that day we went over to other friends for their peas and greens lunch. Charlie went out of town to see the kids and help the youngest work on the house. Their baby shower is this coming weekend so I’m going to drive down on Friday and stay the weekend. It should be a blowout as the oldest is coming with our daughter-in-law and their son (our other grandchild who just turned 1)
Busy times for sure. I think this year I just want to get into my work, working out and pursuing and maintaining authentic friendships. That’s the goals.
Lanie writes a weekly, bi-weekly, sometimes daily blog called "Lanie in the City". The blog used to focus on Lanie’s sexual escapades (or lack thereof), dating fiascos and her life with her close friends as well as musings about the relationships and friendships between lesbians in Atlanta, Georgia but NOW the focus has changed to her daily work and fun life with her wife Charlie.
Lanie was notoriously led by her emotions [still is] She sought a partner that is on even ground with her as well as a door key, bathroom (minus flowery soaps and Winnie the Poo shower curtains) and cabinet space from Mz. Right who is now Charlie. She obsessed over the (many) rejections of her book, “Blue Ice" and decided to say, “F-that” and self published it on Kindle. It is available for download for $1.99 here:
http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Ice-Dylan-Curtis-ebook/dp/B00BJ3PF7A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383920444&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+ice+dylan+curtis
Lanie still overbooks her schedule. She still falls back on self-deprecation as a form of humor and now that Lanie is in a relationship she still hasn’t forgotten her good friends. She continues to forge new friendships through blogging and daily life.
Lanie enjoys beer (particularly Sweetwater 420), playing pool and paddle boarding. Lanie sees herself as a tough girl, however, appears to not be able to even hurt a fly.
Lanie is a resident of Atlanta and lives just inside the “fruit loop.” She lives in a four bedroom, two-bath house with her now wife and two beloved dogs, Sadie & Bailey and a three-legged cat named Theodore Roosevelt. In the past, she has often had difficulties with girlfriends living with her but her and Charlie function successfully under one roof save for the many times Bailey has eaten shoes and that incident with the burnt [dog] bones.
Despite having a sometimes very bitchy demanding sister, step mother (who passed in 2017), father and rednecky uncles, aunts and cousins -Lanie doesn’t feel that she has much family and is not close to them. She rarely visits however, she did take Charlie and dogs home to meet the family initially and it was somewhat successful [except for having to eat endless amounts of cheese and bread at her sisters because she had just discovered fondue].
Lanie continues to thrive with her writing and relationship with Charlie.She's currently in cybersecurity school and contemplating graduate school after graduation in the Spring of 2020.

Well…I’m still working in my Christmas post, if that’s any indicator. And I haven’t re-joined any gyms…but the big double-nickel is coming in a couple weeks, so maybe I should see if any AARP/Silver Sneaker discounts kick in. 🤓
