It’s too late to turn back now…

If you read the title and get the song reference, you're my kind of people. And if you went back and reread it and got it, you now know what this blog is about. If you're still clueless, it's totally fine, you'll catch on. Like every good comedian, this joke is about to come full circle. And as the title suggests, it's totally too late to turn back now...

I believe, I believe, I believe Katie is falling in love! We get you Eades! Tell us all the things!!!
Sigh...it's true. I went to bed a normal Katie and woke up slightly smitten and concerned I was falling in love. That's right, I'm slightly concerned. I haven't even taking this man for a test drive yet. Is he a manual or an automatic? I can drive both, I'm just sayin' I don't even know yet and I'm falling head over heels for him. This is not normal. It can't be real. I'm probably just lonely....fuck, dammit, no I'm not! I freaking love my freedom right now. I'm having a blast building my business after work, and meeting amazing new people along the way. And yet here I am holding space on my calendar and scheduling fun with friends around seeing him... I've cancelled all dates to see this man. Shit, this is getting real. My half introverted side is very confused as to why we aren't unwinding at home alone over wine and falling asleep on the couch by 9pm. But the extroverted side of Tuna is like let's goooooo!!! 

Enough about that, Katie tell us who this dude is so we can be prepared to cut his dick off if he hurts you.
Haha thanks guys. I do appreciate you all having my back and cursing the day all the douche bags with dumb names were born on my behalf. But enough about them. Umm...I know I always come up with funny names for dudes I've dated, but since I was accidentally dating this one for awhile, I sorta skipped that step...which is soo not like me. And as I sit here typing this, racking my brain for a witty name to give the man that is a better looking version of the ex-husband, all that comes to mind is (gulp) husband 2.0. (Insert crying laughing emoji, worried face emoji, monkey covering eyes emoji here).

Whoa...Eades! It IS too late to turn back now. Are we doing another wedding? And will I have to buy a gift again...?
Haha all good questions. But calm down over there! And pump the brakes already. Nobody is walking down the damn aisle and getting the government involved in their relationship right now. Or possibly ever....idk. Am I really getting married again? Ever since the gays started doing it, it really lost its exclusivity. (Easy snowflakes, this is a funny joke and I'm clearly deflecting at answering this question with this joke, so just enjoy it already. It's not like I said the Blacks and Whites can marry now as my reason...). I certainly don't need a wedding, or gifts for that matter. But am I having kids? Because this changes things. Fuck. Kids. Marriage. What is happening to independent Eades right now?! An Eades divided against itself cannot stand! Eades is gettin' worried! Eades is gettin’ concerned. Eades is getting all her needs met and her bucket is so full right now and she would love to be a mom some day.... (Insert worried face emoji here). Help!

Awww Eadesssss! He sounds great! Tell us more.
Ummm...well, you know all those quirky things about me that you find absolutely adorable? And all the fun things you love about me? I would name them all, but lets be real, the list is pretty, pretty, pretty long. And of course the jokes are really the best part of being friends with me. That and the random adventures we will have together. You get my weird. He gets my weird. What I love about him the most is that he isn't afraid to be 100% himself all the time. I thought he was weird when I first met him, because he is. He also thought I was weird...which is odd...But also

Okay, TV time out from this story for a moment, I don't remember being weird. Which means I was being my normal self...which is arguably a little weird. Okay, yup that tracks. Had to verbally processes that one for a minute. Moving on. 

Okay, so he thought I was weird when he first met me, that checks out. He then got to know me and thought I was just quirky, yup been told that by several guys I dated briefly, that tracks. And what he loves about me most is that I'm just always 100% myself. He thinks I'm adorable, how could you not. And we both make each other laugh. A lot. And I'm 10/10 not comfortable with any of this. 

What?! Why?! Katie...what's wrong with him.
Ugh....dammit. There's always something. And while I'm very aware that what I'm about to say will probably cause you to burst out laughing and point your finger back at me, I'm going to spill the tea anyway (are the kids still saying that?)....he doesn't prioritize his health (insert kettle calling the pot black here). I already know what you're thinking, neither do you Eades. And it's true! And dammit, I'm grasping at straws here people! There has to be something wrong, because I make terrible dating choices. And I am 10/10 uncomfortable with this, because I've been completely myself, and totally vulnerable (most of the time), and dammit I think it's too late to turn back now...
