After searching the internet for information about the actor able to cast such a spell, she discovered Gerard Butler. Her life, and that of her family, hasn\u2019t been the same since. With Gerry as a common bond, becozy has an expanding world of cyber and real friends.\u00a0 Her family has greeted her new found \u2018hobby\u2019 with enthusiasm and her new friends with a warm welcome. Happily, her husband and two (now adult) children share her admiration of Gerry. Her family knows and understands all Gerry references in their correct context. Mention 3AM, camels, or yellow towels, for example and you\u2019ll get a knowing nod! Over ten years later, as much time as possible each day is spent in the care and nurturing of her Addiction.

She was smitten with the Phantom from the moment his face appeared in the mirror, falling in love during the Music of the Night. After searching the internet for information about the actor able to cast such a spell, she discovered Gerard Butler. Her life, and that of her family, hasn\u2019t been the same since. With Gerry as a common bond, becozy has an expanding world of cyber and real friends.\u00a0 Her family has greeted her new found \u2018hobby\u2019 with enthusiasm and her new friends with a warm welcome. Happily, her husband and two (now adult) children share her admiration of Gerry. Her family knows and understands all Gerry references in their correct context. Mention 3AM, camels, or yellow towels, for example and you\u2019ll get a knowing nod! Over ten years later, as much time as possible each day is spent in the care and nurturing of her Addiction. It is a delicate balancing act to fulfill her duties as wife and mom and her duties as a GAL, but one she is determined to master.","sameAs":["http:\/\/gbgals.com\/content"],"jobTitle":"Administrator","url":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/author\/barb\/"}]}},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gerardbutlergals.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
