Show on Tuesday in Ft. Lauderdale

We've got a show in Ft. Lauderdale in Tuesday at the Culture Room. Pretty cool venue. Can't wait to rock it out!!!

By the way, this is Olivia's old room which is now the junk room... Single tear for Olivia. I do still miss her... :(

About to go over to Tonya's and go lay out for a bit! Supposed to be about 82 today and sunny so a perfect day to catch some rays and not get too hot doing it! WOOT! 

Another Manic Monday from Hell!!!

Holy freaking shit!!! A hell of a lot of stuff has gone down since the post on Monday... I mean, really, what the hell!

Everything was going fine. I had my bikini on and was pulling up to Tonya's Condo. I went around to the side and saw Tonya there waiting for me! It was kinda funny, I on purpose ignored her and ran right up to Ozzy and picked him up and started to play with him! Tonya complimented me on my suit which was actually one that I guess Bree had before I became her... So weird saying and thinking about that... 

It's a super nice, private beach and I had brought a few things in my bag with me.... a frisbee, paddleball... sunscreen... As soon as Ozzy saw the frisbee, he jumped out of my arms and tried to get it. Tonya got it and threw it up to Ozzy and he actually caught it...I was worried he'd leave teeth marks, but he hadn't. This disc is new. I had just bought them a few days before from Amazon.com. It's an Ultra-Star, the disc that USA Ultimate uses in their tournaments!

I joked with Tonya and said, "Go long! You can still catch, right? Now that you're a... girl..." I giggled a bit and threw it to her. She caught it and threw it back.

"Yeah I can still catch." Ozzy was running back and forth chasing after the frisbee as we played. I told her that me and Luke played Ultimate when we were younger and I really love playing and that I don't know how I'd be able to play now in a league now that I'm a girl and slower and not in that great of shape. "You'd probably do great! Hey, do you think you are going to ever introduce him, Luke, to the rest of us or do you think that would be too much to handle."

"He's met Olivia.... I told him about her. I can introduce him to you if you want. He's probably gonna instantly be in love with you. As guys, we always had the same taste in girls.. and that hasn't seemed to changed now that I'm a girl... He actually really likes blondes... so, be ready..." 

"Hey, would not be the first time I have been hit on by a guy and I would love to meet him sometime. It's always nice to meet someone who understands us." She then said, I hope jokingly... "Besides I am the only one of us who's had sex with men. I for sure prefer woman, though." She then gave me a peck on the lips.

"Well then! I'm not sharing you with him. Don't even think about it, Blondie!!!," I said with a chuckle!

"I won't. I only want girls now anyway. Lets go swimming." With that, she takes off into the water! We both body surfed for bout the next 15 or 20 minutes until we both felt completely waterlogged and headed up to play some paddleball.

I saw what looked like a person standing at the gate to her apartment complex. Looked like he or she had a camera. Nice lens. Probably at least a 200mm Canon pro lens. I hope they're not shooting us again. "There's a really nice wave coming in! Let's catch this one and then head up to the beach."

*When we rode the wave in, Tonya looks for Ozzy and sees him standing at the gate barking at a guy who looks like he is watching us. "Ozzy, come here boy." Ozzy looks at her and ran back.

"Yep. Definitely a camera. Be right back..." I went up to him and it was a different guy from last time. I told him that this was a private beach and we really didn't appreciate him taking pictures of us. He says that he'll leave as he brings another camera up and takes a pic of me at close range. Well!!! I didn't like that at all. I reached down and got some sand that was wet from me dripping and threw it at his camera. "Don't worry. It's won't ruin it to much. Those 1D MKIIIs have pretty good weather striping. Now, please leave or we'll call the cops... or let the weiner dog loose on you!!!"

Tonya came up to the gate holding Ozzy who was growling at the man "Look at this mean beast and these teeth!!! You better leave us alone, I've trained him to go for the balls!"

"He's leaving... Let's go play some paddleball. I'll draw the court!" I take a few minutes to draw out the court and then we're ready to play. "Ok. I'm gonna serve first! You ready?"

"Yeah lets get this game going"

"Ok! Game on!" I served and we play a little. "Ya know, most girls you see on the beach are horrible at this. I guess it helps that we were guys and did sports stuff. I know as Brendan, I played this game all the time with my dad and brothers... and sometimes with my mom and sister!" 

"At least your memories have some meaning. Mine are no use since they are all of my life in growing up in LA but in my new reality I never grew up there."

"Hmm.. yeah. I'm sure Bree, before I was her, played this. Seems like a McAdams family sport to play on the beach. We always did when I was Brendan. It's getting really hot out here... Wanna go get a drink and sit under the umbrella?"

Ozzy comes running over to me. "Aww! Looks like Ozzy wants you to carry him."

"Such a cute, sweet little dog." I rubbed noses with him as I bent down to pick him up. "Hey Ozzy you want to play. Go get a toy." Ozzy looked at me and grabs part of my top in his mouth and jumped out of my hands pulling my top with him and ran happily with it to Tonya. She took it in her hands, and waved it at me, mockingly... I covered myself up. 

"Hey look what I got know. If you want it come get it." She ran towards the water.

"Hey! Give that back! Give it back! When I get you, you're gonna be sorry!!!" I ran at her yelling and laughing and chased her in the water!

"Come on if you want it you will have to try harder." She held the top above her head. I finally made my way out to she was and jumped on her and she fall back into the water. We were both underwater and I'm tryed to get the top and when we both come back up, it was no longer in her hand... 

"Hey! Where did my top go? You didn't let it go did you? I never got it." I looked behind me and Ozzy is swimming behind me holding the top in his mouth. "Damn! Ozzy has it! He's so fast for a little dog! Get him! You two are quite the little top stealing tag team, aren't you?"

"Sorry... I forgot to tell you he likes to chew on bras and bikini tops. Ozzy come to mommy." Ozzy looked at Tonya and all of a sudden a big wave hit him. "Ozzy!!!" She yelled with a concern look on her face not seeing him anymore. A few seconds later, his head pops up right next to me.

"Got him! But, no top. He must have dropped it when the wave hit him. Oh well! Ozzy will have to be my top when we get out of the deep water! Ok Tauntaun, we can either go lay out a little more, me topless of course, or we can go up to your room and change. I would suggest just borrowing one of your tops but your tops are, kinda... big... Personally, I've gotten enough sun already!"

"Ok. Lets head back to the apartment." As we get near the gate, we hear some clicking sounds from a camera...

"Good God!!! It's that damn photographer. Good thing I'm still holding Ozzy up over my boobs or he would have some nice shots." He notices that we saw him and ran off to a van parked a few yards from the gate of the private beach. "Can you see his license plate number? Looks like some sort of a news van or a communications company van..."

"No but I can do something better. I don't know how he keeps getting in hear but he won't be getting out." She, I guessed, called the the guard running the entrance the apartment complex. "I love living in gated community. I told the guard running the gate I would give him two hundred dollars if he would not let him out and keep him there till we get to the gate."

"Uh oh! Dude better watch out! The evil Tauntaun is on the loose! Hey wait, I'm still topless... I'm just gonna go over here behind this bush and put on my bra and tanktop. There may be more photographers out here..."

"I can give you a minute to put n your clothing." She called for Ozzy who came and hopped in her arms.

"Ok! All done... woops. Top on backwards. Ok, fixed it. Does this look ok? Bikini bottom with tanktop and bra?"

"Yeah it looks ok." We walked over to the entrance of the apartment complex and saw the man who was taking the pictures arguing with the security guard.

"What are your plans, Tauntaun? I mean, I have my .380 in my bag here. I could.. umm.. shoot him in the kneecaps maybe..." I kinda laughed.

"I like that idea but that might be a little much. I'm not going to hurt him unless he makes me but he owes you an apology for taking pictures of you topless and us an explanation of why he is watching us. We can do a little good cop bad cop."

"I know why he took pics of my topless!!! You took my top and ran off with it!!!" I look mad at you then smile... "But, yeah, I'll be the good cop."

The guy saw us coming and looked a little nervous. He ran towards the fence and started to climb it. I grabbed him and pulled him off before he could get over. "Hello again! I think we have some unfinished business from earlier. First I want you to apologize to my friend here and you better be sincere about it. Then, you are going to tell us why you have been taking pictures of us. If you do everything correctly, you will walk out of hear instead of taking an ambulance."

"Ok. ok. Everyone settle down. I'm sure there's a good explanation for all of this. Let's just let the man talk..."

MAN: (in a broken eastern european accent) "I take pictures for company. Company like pictures of beautiful women. I see you two and take pics. I already emailed pics into company. Will be printed tomorrow..."

"Well I guess that means we are not going to hurt you even though I want to punch you as hard as I can. You are on private property and have taken pictures of us and are going to publish them without our permission. We will just sue you for everything you got and the company you work for. Do you have anything to say about that." It is apparent she's holding herself back from beating this guy up and trying to stay in control.

"She's not one to be messed with, I kid you not. I'll be on the look out for these pics. It might be best to try and convince your publisher to not put them out. Now leave and never come back. Anything else you wanna say Taunta... Tonya?"

"Two things, first I want to know how you got in here and second, if I don't hear an apology from him to you, I am going to break his camera over his head."

"Don't break it. We'll get this douchebag. Let's just do it in a way that can't get us in trouble." He kinda smiled at me a little... I walked up to him and lunged at him and he almost falls back. We heard the gate guard guy kinda laugh...

"I still want answers. How did you get into this place and I want to know what is the name of the company you work for. Once you tell me this, I will let you leave. I don't think you want us to involve the cops."

"Ya know Tonya, if these pics reflect either of us in a negative light, Carolyn will probably have him killed!" I said laughing!

"I get in by saying I work for cable repair company and only wish I got to see more of you two when I took the pictures. Would have made more money if you two both naked." The guys laughed at us. We walked away from him. 

"Let him go we will find out who he works for later. If I look at his smug face any longer, I'll kill him. Are you done with him Bree?"

"Well yes. In my mind I was cutting his balls off, but, yes, I'm finished with him here, in the 'real' world!"

"Ok you can leave but understand this - if I ever see you here again, or following us, or if I ever see you taking a picture of us, I promise you will not like what will happen next." The guy slowly backed away and then got into his van and left.

"I'm going to be so sunburned! Damn that guy. Maybe the sunscreen is still working a little bit that we put on earlier..."

"Lets head to my place. If those pictures make us look bad and Carolyn does make him disappear, I will make sure his death will be by having balls cut off just for you."

"Thanks!!! And then, we can we put them in to a Mason Jar filled with Formaldehyde?"

Then we went back to her place took a shower and chilled out for a while... 

So... that all happened Monday. Tuesday I worked a little over half a day at the office and then spent the rest of the day in the studio. Got back to my place at like 2:45am. I was so tired. Crashed immediatly.

Today, I slept in, took a shower and then went to the studio around Noon. I told the guys that I had to get home at a reasonable hour today and once I laid down a few more lead racks, I left there around 9:15pm. Came here and made a late dinner and then started writing this. Tonya's coming over here tonight!!! So... I better finish up quick. She'll be here any minute! I just changed into something sexy as well. Wanna see???

She's gonna flip when I come to the door like this!

Anyway, that's the last couple days. Hopefully I'll get that "sleep" I mentioned earlier but I highly doubt it!!!

Laters!!!

Tonya's All Better!!!

Well, Tonya went to the doctor today and got a clean bill of health!!! So, we're about to go celebrate by going to the beach and lay out and swim. I've been laying out as much as I can because I want to get some semblance of a tan before summer is over. I've even sneaked up to the roof of the studio a few times and laid out when I wasn't recording or helping produce the album. I'm about to head over there now! Can't wait to see her. I haven't been over there in a few days...

Speaking of recording... 8 tracks nearly finished!!! We're got 11 on the docket so we're almost back on schedule. John has been a workhorse. He's even been staying after hours to lay down some tracks. I'll have to admit. I'm pretty proud of him and his effort!!! I've been laying down lead tracks and I'm pretty happy with my parts so far as well. Some are the same as ones from rehearsal and from live shows and some are new parts. About half are new. Things sound a little different and I hear different things when ion the studio environment with headphones on and all. Different nuances and dynamics together can change a lot about what parts I play over certain chords. So, that makes it fun!!! I love coming up with parts. Just got back to Tauntaun's place about 45 minutes ago. Got to the studio around 10am this morning... Did a half day.

------------------------------

It's kinda crazy, and I know I've mentioned this before, but it's so amazing that I get to spend so much time with Tonya! She's so freaking hot and as a guy, I had absolutely no chance in hell with a girl like her!!! No, we live together and stuff!!! ;) Wow! I can't wait to see her in her bikini on the beach! She's the the definition of beach-babe or a bronze goddess!!! So hottttttt!

Anyway, I need to calm down... Getting heated up over here... Down nipples, down!!! Hee hee!

Here's a pic of my tan/bikini lines!!! See, this pale-skinned girl is getting some sun! I love it. I took this after I got out of the shower this morning before I went to the studio...

Check out those lines! Am I gettin' too chubby???

I better get my bikini on... Cute pink one!!!

Laters!

A Little Better Each Day!!!

I had a great day driving and going to the beach Thursday. It was good to get up to Ft. Lauderdale and away from everything here. I just found me a spot on a pubic beach, got out my chair and a towel and sat/lay there in the sun for a little while. So nice and calm and peaceful... After that, I packed up everything and did some shopping at some of the little stores there that are right up near the beach. Some of the little family owned stores. I love those! you can really find some great little treasures there sometimes!

This is the life!

I'm actually about to go out and shop some. I can't live in this house anymore with certain things still here. I need a new couch and new bedroom suit... Every-time I'm in the den and see that couch or I'm in my room and see my bed... I've been sleeping in the kitchen on an inflatable mattress for a few days now... So, that being said, I've not been sleeping so well.

I look kinda rough and still feel kinda dirty, but I think it's time to go out and face Miami... Can't keep myself from my favorite city forever!

Think I should go out with the 'stach? Will it help make me invisible to "certain" people?
I found it in my sock drawer. I sometimes still find little relics from my life as Brendan...
Still can't believe what all's happened. So crazy!

Laters!

Time to Celebrate the 4th!

Mom wanted everyone there early to hang and play games! They always try to make it fun, which it usually is! If it's one thing the McAdams are all about, it's fun involving games and competition! As soon as we got there, I saw dad in the garage and me and O went to chat. He was already going through the fireworks and I'll have to say that it was the most that he's ever bought!

"Dad! What in the world! Did you buy out a whole stand or something!?!?"

"Well hey there Bree! And how are you miss Olivia?"

"Doing good dad!"

"Me too Mr. McAdams!"

"I bought all these so we can compete with the Russels next door and win this time! I figured that we could all shoot. I think Thomas is coming sometime today to stay a few days. You up for some good ole firework neighbor competition, Olivia?"

"You bet! I love shooting fireworks!"

"Good to hear! Well, these are now all sorted and I have to go back in and help the Mrs. get dinner going and get the grill cleaned and ready. See you girls around!" He walked by me and gave me a kiss just as Luke walked in the garage.

"I bet he never did that to you as Brendan... Hey there.. Olivia!"

"Nope! He sure didn't!"

"Hey Luke. What's up?"

"Not much. What are you two about to do?"

"Swim, maybe. Is the floating goal in the water yet this year?"

"I just put it in! When Tommy gets here we can play some 2 - 2 but until then we can just swim or play 21..."

"Sounds like fun! We'll go change!"

"Yep. Let's go change!"

"See ya in tha pool!"

We went up to my old room and changed and ended up playing a little "purple nurple" on my old bed. With that game, I don't think there's ever a winner. All parties involved end up with sore, red, painful nipples. Fun though... kinda! ;)

We got in the pool, which was surprisingly warm, and started horsing around. Olivia just wanted to swim for the time being so me and Luke played some 1-1 on the floating goal. He won, dammit. He's so much taller than me now! Not too bad though... 15-10... Played one more game... worse... 15-8... We swam a little more and then O wanted to go lay out for a little while. Luke said he would too so we all dried off and headed for some lounge chairs.

Muh legs getting some Florida sunshine!!!

Thomas got there finally, pullin up in his new Defender 90. He came straight over to me, picked me up and threw me in the pool! I was kicking and screaming but he's just too big and strong for me to do anything about it!

He did a hulk pose and then Luke said, "You're sooooo strong Tommy! She weighs like what, a buck 15? Why don't you try to do that to me?"

"Ok! I will!" He walked over and Luke got up and they started to try to throw each other in the pool. Neither one seemed to have the upper hand from my vantage point dog-paddling in the deep-end. They were getting real close to the edge but no one was in yet. Olivia quitely got up and walked over to them. They didn't even see her. She just easily pushed them both in at the same time!!!

Everyone there cheered for her! "I win!" She then took a bow and then did a cannon ball into the deep-end right near me.

"Great job! Well done!"

"Thanks!"

"We played some 2-2 after that. Me and Luke against Olivia and Thomas. It was the closest game ever in McAdams history. We played to 15 and you had to win by two. The final score was... 28-26 in favor of... ME AND LUKE!!! Woo hoo!!! Olivia really surprised me with how good she was! You go girl! Right after the game ended, mom yelled out that it was time to eat.

The food was incredible! Salad with 3 different kinda of homemade dressing, grilled corn on the cob, french fries, burgers, steak, hotdogs and homemade ice cream and a Lemon Meringue pie for dessert! So glad I went to the gym this morning! Now, I'm gonna have to go 5 times tomorrow to work off all this food!

We finished eating and then chatted until we heard something next door... the Russels had shot the first preliminary firework signaling the start of the 2013 McAdams/Russel Fireworks WAR!!! It was on!!!

We got set up fast. We all knew what to do. Battle stations were manned/wo-manned... Mortars were loaded! Rockets set up! Mom had the huge Roman Candles ready. Ready for the first round or Shock & Awe!!! 3... 2... 1... UNLEASH THE MADNESS!!!

We set it off and totally blew away the Russels this year! They never knew what hit them! Here's a pic of the grand finale!

So! As you can see. We really do it up well! The Russels ran out this year about the time we got ready for the finale. They came over and admitted defeat and then we all hung out for a little while.

David made his way over but mostly just hung out with Luke. We did talk, but I could tell he was being a little weird. I wonder if he's seen the pics in the magazine yet... He probably has.

Anyway, we were about to head in. The "kids" always watch Independence Day after fireworks on the big screen ini the den. McAdams and Russels alike! Even David stayed this year. He does sometimes but lately he hasn't.  I love that movie!!!

After the movie, it was time to go. Me and Olivia packed up our things, said our goodbyes and headed out. Dad stopped me and said that mom and him were going to take a vacation and to check up on the place while they were gone. They were leaving Monday night. I told them I would and we were off...

On the way home, as we were pulling in the driveway, I "popped" the question...

"So, Olivia, I was thinking..."

"Don't hurt yourself Breely!" She giggled.

"Ha ha... very funny. Why don't you just sell your apartment and move in? Most of your stuff is already here and you are here like 90% of the time. Just move in already! I'd really like that!"

"I've been thinking about that too, Bree. I just don't know. That's a big step... My old life was at that apartment. I don't know if I wanna give it up yet. Let me think about it and I'll get back to you. Ok?"

"Ok... Yeah, just let me know when you're ready. I'm so tired... Can't wait to get some sleep."

"Me either but I gotta finish this program I've been working on... I might be up all night... You go on to bed and I'll join you when I can."

As we stepped in the door, she headed for the kitchen and her computer and I headed to my bed. That didn't go as I thought it would.

I just woke up and found O asleep on the kitchen table. Woke her a little and told her I was gonna go out and get a few groceries and things. She said ok and moped to the bed... I'm feeling a little down as I write this last part and remember that conversation from last night... :(

Oh well... off to the store with maybe a few tears in my eyes. One good thing is that I'm off today but looks like that will be sucked into the crappiness of the day.

Bye.

Easy, Breezy, Thursday... And a Call from Carolyn...

Straight chilled out today after I woke up! I really didn't do anything! Perfect day outside so I went for a little 2 mile run around 3. Should have put sunscreen on... Then laid out a bit after that. Kinda got sunburned on my back and shoulders. Fell asleep laying on my belly and that combined with the jog earlier equalled disaster... I just knew it was gonna be bad. Could already feel the pain starting. That ended around 4:30. Besides that, this pale-skinned girl is getting a tan if is kills her!!!

Got a call from Carolyn. She wanted to meet up with me on the pier to talk about some stuff. Sounded good to me. I haven't talked to her in a long time. I might try something on this visit...

I really wish I wouldn't have lost that contract that Tonya gave me from her. I really should have looked over it by now. Damn! I'm sure she'll ask about it.

Oh well. Scatterbrained Bree strikes again. Gotta take a shower and get to the pier. Supposed to be there around 8pm. Shower killer me! 

Ouch! Pic after my shower... Can I just go topless to the pier!?!?!?
I'm not wearing a bra that's for damn sure!

Wish me luck on my talk!

I'm out!

Just had a little fun!

So, I got some groceries after I woke Olivia up. We made a little list and I headed out. I got everything and more and as I was putting everything in the hatch, this guy in a new white SS Camaro drove by slowly and just stared at me. I turned a looked and then turned back to the groceries. He looked like a creep! I wish I could only attract nice people. But then again, where's the fun in that?

He kept on driving and then stopped and said, "Hey there, cutie! Need a hand with those bags."

I didn't even turn around when he said that. "Nope. I got it. Thanks anyway... dude."

"Suit yourself sweetie!" He revved up his engine and drove off, squealing his tires a little. So uncool and juvenile! I saw him just drive around the parking lot over and over as I finished up and drove off. I pulled out onto the main road and I saw "Camaro boy" pull out behind me.

It was a two lane road and he pulled up next to me at the stop light and rolled his window down. OMG! Come on dude. He honked his horn. I think I may just oblige this dickhead. I rolled my window down and looked his way. "May I help you?"

"I was just wondering why you don't like hot guys in hot cars? I mean, come on babe! Let's go park somewhere and hang. You look like you got it going on! I'd like in on some of that!"

"Well, for the most part, I like hot girls in hotter cars."

"Damn! That's a shame..."

"Not really. So, what ya got there, 1SS, like around maybe 400 HP... maybe like 350 pounds of torque?"

"Damn girl! That's so hot hearing you say that. Hell if I know though. Just got this thing two days ago."

"Perfect! So, you have a stock SS Camaro that you really don't know yet?"

"Know?"

"Yes idiot. You obviously don't know your car yet if you've had it only two days. You're like a little baby learning to crawl. It's cute when it's an actual baby... kinda sad in your case. Trying to pick up girls in a car you just bought and know nothing about, really lame... Oh yeah, the light's about to change... Enjoy the back of my car! Zoom Zoom!"

"Bitch! You think you can beat me in that little piece..." 

Yeah! I did beat him. I have this thing at a little over 320 HP now. Maybe like 315 ft lb of torque. Last checked, 0-60 in like 5 seconds. So yeah, he put up a good fight but I still kicked his ass and put a little sand in his face! That was fun! Now had he known his car and it been maybe a 2SS, hmm... I might not have been victorious. But, my stage 2 mod is 95% complete. So, next, stage 3... if I can ever find the time!!!

Stopped by... "Burger King" and got a chicken sandwich meal. Ate most of my fries before got home. Came in and computer was gone and so was O. I decided to eat half of the sandwich and then go lay out! I really wanna get a good tan on this body! About 1/3 of the way there! 

My ass isn't featured enough on here!!! So, here it is!

That's a good looking ass... I think anyway!

Super sunny day! Should be great for tanning!

Bye!

More from Wednesday.

I debated so badly going down and talking to Tiffany today at work. Such a boring day. It dragged on and on... My mind raced almost the whole day. My PB&J sandwich got smashed under a few books... It was a horrible day. I just pretty much stayed in my office the whole time. Only left one time to use the bathroom.

I got home and is it me or has a cleaning fairy been coming around here lately. Damn! The food I had last night is gone from the coffee table and the dishes are already loaded. Wow! Has Olivia hired someone or been doing this herself? She's out back tanning. Damn she's hot! I might join her for a bit!!!

Sorry this is so short! Opportunity knocks though!

Laters!

I Think I'll Take a Little Dip...

Got to my parent's house and no one was home. No prob, I still have a key! Stepped in the house and called Mom. She said that they had gone to the store for a bit and to make myself at home. Well, duh, that's what I plan to do. She said they'd be home in like 15 minutes so I headed up the stairs to my old room and sat down on the bed and just looked around. I really have no memory of this room. 

I know what kinda stuff went on in here when I was Brendan but not a single memory as Bree. This is so bizarre... I checked in some of the drawers and most of the stuff had been cleaned out. They are used as mainly storage now and this room is used as a guest room. I opened the huge closet and did see a few pairs of shoes in there. Mostly dressy shoes and a pair of black high heels... I was tempted. I'll have to admit, I've done a little cross dressing in the past, but not in high heels. This should be interesting... I slipped off my Cons and my socks and put them on my feet. They weren't too terribly high, maybe 2.5" and I stood up and braced myself against the wall, just in case. I took a step and then two.. three.. four.. then I was walking around the room, with no problem at all. Wow!!! Muscle memory or something had to have taken over. I did a little jog and did fine. Unbelievable!!! I ran back over to the closet and remembered something. As Brendan, I had stashed something in here. I hit the closet light and crawled to the back corner and the carpet was still loose. I pulled it up and saw the the floorboards were still movable and pulled the two short boards up. There it was - my lockbox. I had a few things in there that I wanted to keep hidden... like some dirty magazines and stuff... I remembered the code 3*48*7. I flipped the top open and there they were. My 4 favorite playboys ever from when I was like in Jr. High... WOW!!! I grabbed all four of them and as soon as I got them out of the box, they transformed into what looked like a girls diary... I dropped it immediately - I was totally freaked out. There was a little lock on it and I didn't see the key. Bummer. Right about then, I heard mom opening the door and yell, "Bree, where are ya?" It startled me a little and I threw the diary back in the box and it turned back into the playboys right before my eyes... What tha!!! I placed the boards back down and pulled the carpet back and got up and went back to the room as Mom was coming in.

"Hey," I said. "I'm loooking for a swimsuit. I was thinking about going to the beach for a bit. You haven't seen one of mine around here anywhere ha ya?"
"No. The last time Jenny was here she left a black one. It's here somewhere. Want me to find it?"
"Sure. That'd be great. Hey, I was wondering, is all my stuff still in the pool house?"
"Yeah, your dad and Luke were just talking about loading it up and getting it to you soon."
"Cool! I really need some of that stuff right about now."

She came over and gave me a hug.

"All my babies have grown up. You're a very beautiful woman now. I just want you to know that I'm proud of you!"
"Thanks, Mom," I said trying not to tear up. "I have a question for you... What's your best memory of me?"
"Well, that'd have to be when you got that job of yours. You were the youngest person to get hired on. It's really the memory of how excited you were. They had given you this huge project. You totally blew everyones mind with your design. They gave you the job very soon after that, like first semester in your senior year. I can tell you my worst memory..."
"Please do tell..."
"When you came home with that first tattoo!"
"Sorry... You should have just said I could get one... Then I probably wouldn't have... not right then anyway..." 

(Wow... I wonder which one it was. As Brendan, the first one I got was on the back of my right arm. I don't have one there now.) We laughed and hugged again.

"I see you found a pair of your old heels?'
"Yep, forgot about these (literally, sorta). I'm gonna take them with me..."
"And you should... Ok, I'm gonna go try to find the swimsuit... Be right back!"

I headed down the stairs, heels still on!?!?!? Wow forgot I was wearing them. Freaky!!! Headed back upstairs and threw them in my old room. Mom found the  the swim suit and suggested that I just stay here and go lay out by the pool. Well, I agreed. I could swim if I wanted here too and it was an awesome pool! She said that she knows how I like to "tan" and that dad wouldn't be home for maybe an hour.

I gave her a puzzled look and she said, "Umm... topless..."
"Oh, yeah. Ha. Of course..." 

I went out to the pool house with the swimsuit and saw all of my old stuff piled a mile high in boxes. There'll be time for that later, I wanna get in that pool I thought to myself... I went into the poolhouse bathroom and took off my clothes... There I was in the poolhouse, naked and a girl. I looked at myself in the mirror for a few minutes, just in awe of my new self, mt new "shell." I started to cry right there.I needed a good cry. So much going on right now. I sat on the closed toilet and ctied for maybe 10 minutes strait, just thinking about everything. Sometimes the crying was out of joy, sometimes out of fear or scared of the unknown. For whatever the reasons, it felt good to do it - just letting all my bottled up emotions from my recent girl past and my distant guy past go freely. I'm sure i was a mess and looked in the mirror and my make-up was everywhere. I washed my face with some hand soap and slipped on the swimsuit. It felt like bar and panties but as slicker and cooler on my skin. I posed a little bit and rubbed/ran my hands over my body. I grabbed some lotion out of the closet and did another take of my body oin the mirror - sexy, I though as I made my way to the pool. I knew the water might be a little chilly but I dove in anyway. Nipples were at full attention when I surfaced! I went under again and played with them for as long as I could hold my breath... a few times. So fun!!!

I swam for a little while then pulled out a chair and sat down to work on my tan for a bit. I got the suntan lotion and rubbed it on my body. I removed my top, hey, it's what mom said I did and it's just her here, and put some on my front side. That felt good too! I laid down on my belly and gave myself a wedge, put some lotion down there too, and got settled in just to remember something. I got my phone and set it for 30 minutes and took this pic. Thirty minutes is how long Jenny used to stay out here and our coloring is about the same... hopefully I won't get toasted.

Wow! Dat ass!!! I'm quite lucky!

30 minutes on the back and thirty on the front. I will admit though, I did put my top back on for the front. Not ready to do that just yet. Dad could be home at any moment... Timer went off as I had just fallen asleep... I got up and jumped back in the pool to cool off! I thought it would be a good idea to get out of the sun. I used 50 sunblock, but this Miami sun can scorch you in a hurry!!! 

I went to the pool house and got my clothes and a towel and dried off and wrapped the towel around my waist and headed back in the house. Dad was home and he and mom were eating a sandwich and watching TV. She asked if I wanted one and I said I did and went back upstairs to change back into my clothes. I came back down and mom had made me a turkey sandwich, come chips and a glass of tea. What an awesome mom! I ate and then chatted for a while. Dad asked about my week and although it's been crazy, I told him it had been pretty good. We all hugged, said goodbyes then I left. I so wanted to take that journal home but was freaked out by the magic still at work there. Maybe I'd come back again tomorrow after work and go through some of my old stuff and then take it home with some other stuff I find. If that metal box had limited the magical powers, I wondered if my safe at home had done the same... one reason to get on home. 

I got home and just chilled out. Watched some tv and snacked a bit. I guess I should start being careful about what I eat, really... Has my belly gotten bigger in a week? lol! Maybe one more post to come tonight. 

About to go crack the safe!
