Many just watch...

Don't cop out! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Affording to go is my biggest hurdle. Plus I need to start doing some serious running well in advance. But that's always been on my long list of things I want to do. I have other assorted items still unchecked, such as diving in the Cave of Sleeping Sharks, driving a tank, etc.

Isla Mujeres.

Get a good guide.

It is Mexico, ya know...

Lots of rip-offs!

Flights to Pamplona are running about $825 right now. Charge it!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

And don't worry about running distance, work on your sprint!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I've been to Isla Mujeres and love it there. Garrafon (sp?) Reef is spectacular.

My credit cards can't even handle that. We'll see what they look like in July.

And I guess being a mother to small children definitely qualifies me as a sprinter.

I'm not familiar with your entire situation...

How many kids?

Spill the good stuff! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I have two awesome kids. My baby girl will be one this week and my son will be seven next month. They're very cute. DS is asleep right now and I'm hoping that baby girl goes to sleep soon so we can sneak up the hill for a couple of sledding runs.

Who is "we?"

And you're going to abandon your children for a sled run? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> j/k

What is snow? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I was going to ask the same question and why do you have to sneak. Can't dd and ds go too? Me too, me too. Haven't seen snow in quite a while. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" />

What is snow? Where are you people at? Snow is that white stuff outside my window that is piled up about 1 1/2'!

Hey MIF? Are you joining us or just sledding through? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Robby's the mayor, Jelly is queen and if you want to play you have to name three non A idiot things you have done and get a job!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Happy boxing day idjits! I'm from Wisconsin and I've been told some 'nucks consider us honorary Canadians.

GC

Yep, I plan on abandoning the kids for a few. Our way cool neighbors in the duplex will keep an ear open for them. We is H and I. Trying to get creative on the RC for the critically broke. Plus I was bummed out last year because I couldn't go sledding due to pregnancy.

Ya'll are invited. I'll make hot chocolate for afterwards!

gray - Where I'm from, we consider ya'll cheeseheads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> But that doesn't stop me from being a Packer fan.

I don't know exactly what spawned it, but I can envision John out there with a JATO unit strapped onto a sled.

Hey, idjuts.

Had a nice evening with IB's brother and wife. One nephew came, too. He is out in the hot tub now with IB. It was fun to be with them. They'll be here tomorrow, too, so my SIL can go with me on the great RETURN expedition. It just figures. I am not the one who didn't get things that fit = but I am the one who returns them. I have no idea what I did with all the sales slips. I know I put them somewhere ---
This job should not be given to an idiot. I lose everything.

Well, gotta go for tonight. Thanks, all, for the hugs.

BTW - I have tried to distance myself from his antics, but I just keep coming back to fret over it again. I really think what I have been doing (exposure, etc.) is working. The pressure is on and driving them further apart, I think. They are finding it almost impossible to be together any more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I think his grumpiness is often a result of his realizations that he can't keep things as they were. He's going to have to give her up, I think. Every now and then (like tonight) I see a glimmer of the old IB. That makes it worth it to keep going. If I weren't keeping track of his comings and goings, I wouldn't know if I was effective, would I? I feel I must spy some more longer, so when it ends I will know it ended. How else will I be sure? Also, his trip to town today was clearly just a quick errand thing to two stores and then straight back home. If he talked to her at all, it had to be only a voice mail message, because he wasn't there long enough to actually talk to her. (Their conversations range from 15 min. to 2 hours.)

Oh, well, must go now and get towels out for nephew. Busy day tomorrow - exchanging, visiting, and packing to leave on the 28th for trip to Biloxi and the casinos!! My wishes for the next 5 days:

1. Let him not see her or talk to her tomorrow. One day at a time, Sweet Jesus....

2. Let us laugh and have a good time in Biloxi.

3. Let him see us as we used to be - playful and full of fun and a happy married couple.

4. Oh, and let us not lose TOO much money <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Starz, here's hoping.

NOW, we get a summer. Hot and fine today - first time in about 2 months.

Robby, you must have missed my post about baby bear playing with the wrapping paper. They all love that more than the presents.

Jen

BTW hi to John and MIF?.

GC, you let me kill your journal thread. I know I'm a world renowned thread killer but that one always seemed to keep going - until I got hold of it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Jen

Three posts in a row but I keep thinking of stuff I want to say.

John and MIF did you read Idiotville for a while before you decided to drop in? I'm always interested in who the lurkers are.

Jen

Didn't mean to ignore you Kiwi!!

Baby Bear loved the paper.

Even ate a bit! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Really tore into his presents and then tossed them aside to play with the wrapping paper!

Love that kid!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Sledding was fun, but the snow was a bit sticky so we couldn't reach warp speed. We did scare the snot out of our neighbors by throwing snowballs at their bedroom window. We also had a snowball fight. Our snow night was definitely a success. Too bad we couldn't have a few dozen bulls and sharks chase us down the slopes to make it more thrilling. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Nobody from here showed up. Didn't you guys get my invitation?

You forgot to send a mapquest! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Glad you had fun...

Sounds cold!!

Cold here too...

Only 63 tomorrow!!

Brrr! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
