Shortly after Ava was born, we celebrated Avery’s birthday. I must admit…for an old dude, he looks good. I wish he’d put some clothes on sometime though!
Actually, we celebrated all of our birthdays in the same week! So, there was Avery’s birthday, and the next day it was Ava’s birthday.
Then there was Joy’s birthday–I still think she’s too grown and too sexy!
A few days later it was my birthday–yes, of course I’m putting extra pictures of myself! Narrator privilege, thanks.
Living with my sister’s family has been a challenge for me. We all know I’m not a fan of children, so we know how difficult that part is. But the Delgado’s are soo…soo perfect! I mean, these people do everything together. It reminds me a lot of our family when we were kids. Just being honest, I think I’m a little jealous. I love Joy and Avery together. Although he’s an old man, I couldn’t have found a better man for her. And Joy has developed such a motherly way about her. She helps Ava with her homework, just like mom did, and they spend a lot of time together. She even cooks from time to time although I am the cook in the house.
You see this?! She ALWAYS has to sit next to me! Always! One morning, when her parents were still asleep, she came and joined me for breakfast, and I took the opportunity….
“Look here, little girl, let’s get one thing straight…I do not like you around me.”
“You’re soo funny uncle Donnie.”
Oh, she’s thinks I’m funny? She’ll see how “funny” I am when she goes in the playroom! Sorry, folks. I know you thought I was reformed…but I’m not!
Anyway, back to Joy and Avery. I watch them…very closely. You know what I love about them? True, their marriage is still pretty young, but what I love about them is that their love is REAL! They were best friends before they got married, and they are still best friends. He was her personal trainer before they got married, and he’s still training her. That’s comforting to me because I know now that he didn’t have an agenda when they met because he hasn’t changed at all. And with her, I now know that she was really going to the gym for herself and not to be the object of some dude’s affections because she hasn’t changed either. That is really something!
I wanted what they had. I don’t really care about having children, but I feel pressured by the Pruett Legacy. I’m really glad Joy is still around because she is going to have to help me!
Anyway, I felt it was time that I seriously started looking for a lady. I wasn’t interested in any ladies from the neighborhood. They all have their own families and legacies to deal with. I wanted someone new who would have a fresh perspective. And they typically have a lot more money than the neighbors do. Hey! Maybe I’ll make a new rule for all following legacies to follow. Yes, that’s it. I will make a formal proclamation to be passed down from generation to generation. Anyway, I went to the library, but there was no one there. Then I thought that I would go to the next town seeing as how it’s not far. I went to the Rattlesnake Juice Bar and met Mabel Maier. Va va VOOM!
I loved her. I don’t really know why, but I had never been so flirty in all my life! She’s lazy just like me, and she’s a foodie too, so I know we would make a great pair. Now, if only I could stop being so corny and carry on a real conversation with her….
Finally able to pop back. 🙂 Donovan is quite the character! I wonder how this new relationship will be. I love that he’s big. It shows how lazy he is. 😀
Welcome back! He was the laziest of the laziest lol. He wouldn’t even was dishes hardly.
Hallelujers! Back to normal length(?) And a woohoo! for Donnie keeping it real and finding a woman.
Yeah…I’m not gonna tell you how many words that one was, but I went back and read it a few months ago, and I was like WHOA!! This is THE longest chapter of the entire legacy! lol
Yeah, I was thinking that it could have been broken into 3 chapters but it great no matter what.
Yeah, it probably could. I wasn’t very organized back then.
I understand, I didn’t get organized until recently. I just started writing outline while I play. So far I’m not feeling the burn which was the problem last time. I couldn’t remember a lot of stuff from something I played over a month ago.
If the truth be told…I’m not very organized now lol. I just have a good memory. I just watch for kodak moments and snap a bunch of pictures. I have pieces of ideas for what could be done with them. When I edit the pictures, and I get a good look at them, then it comes together more. Then I start typing and stuff happens that I can’t explain LOL. I’m not patient enough to wait longer than a few days to write chapters.
Oh snap I think Donnie found his girl!
🙂
Love the VaVaVaVoom!!! Awww Donovan being all flirty I love that.
I also love him seeing his sister happy and with genuine love.
Not loving crushing Ava’s dollhouse *again*!! Meanie!!
Lol he hasn’t changed!
I really like seeing Donovan’s thoughts about the other three members of his family shift and change with time. Age really does mature you…he was still so judgemental last time about Avery and his sister! It’s nice to see him come to respect and even admire what they have.
Hoping for good things with Mabel! 🙂
He definitely has matured, but he’s still the same guy lol.
Can’t shake off old habits completely! 😛
