I just got off the phone with the ex, Traveling Man, and we polished up a plan that we've not clued the young one in on yet. He's going to California the day before Halloween and will be there for two weeks. He wanted Mini-me to fly out and join him, but with the post9-11 anti-terrorist stuff, it's apparently a huge hassle for a minor to fly ( Read more... )

I need to make the time to update in here this weekend. I have a number of things that must get done before the job transition on Monday, and LJ is on the list. Yes, there IS an actual list.

Busy, busy, busy...!

I also think ya gotta love Dan Savage.

"Love is great, love is grand, but love ain't chemotherapy"

I swear that man is my hero.

Ya gotta love Andy Rooney!!!

This is for all you women 40 years and over.... and for those who are
turning 40, and for those who are scared of moving into their 40's ...
AND for guys who are scared of girls over 40!!!! ... This was written by
Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.

I just found Mike-the-Marine on Classmates.com.  I got an email from a guy I knew in high school, and on a whim, I plugged Mike's name into their search engine.  He popped right up.  Apparently he's in Florida.  I actually stopped breathing for a few seconds, then dashed off an email.  If I'd given myself time to think about it, I'd have completely ( Read more... )

I saw G- for the first time in about two weeks last night.  I'm working on a "project " with one of his co-workers and needed to pick up some paperwork from the bar.  and my mother is in town (the visit went fine, but I wanted a few minutes to myself).  I stayed long enough for A beer, and to get caught up with J- regarding the project.  I went to ( Read more... )

I'm tired of the drama with Greg.

I'm tired of the manipulation.

I'm tired of his constant need for reassurance.

I'm tired of his leaping to incorrect conclusions.

I'm tired of genuinely liking him for about 10 minutes in any given week, and being kind of impatient with him the rest of the time.

I'm tired of dating someone I don't trust.

And thank god it's Friday!  I've barely seen Mini-me this week - and it's my fault, not hers.  She's a little miffed about it and I can't blame her.

Last weekend, I essentially ran away from home.  As an odd choice of destinations, I ended up spending the weekend at my ex's house, near Mz R's.  We had talked about going camping, but Mini-me wanted ( Read more... )

The latest:  Mz D- called this afternoon to ask if I could give her and her DBF (now DF?  Someday DH?) a ride, as their vehicle had stalled and was not running at all.  I agreed to get one of them, as my back seat is still a bit glassy from the storm, and went to find them.  I fetched Mz D- and brought her back to her house so she could get her car ( Read more... )
