Step away from the keyboard and get yourself outside today!!
It is going to be 61 degrees today where I am in the northeast and I just decided I am not going to waste it inside on the computer.
I am going to shower, get my nails done and then head over to our local boardwalk for some sunshine! I really need that and it is so therapeutic to me. I am a sun/beach girl and I now have spring fever!
Go take a walk, do some yardwork, something to go outside and breath some fresh air.
I think we all need it right now!!!
Have an awesome day!

I'm going sailing later with some neighbors. But I will still be thinking about everyone here.

I think after church I will go rollerblading with my boys. Haven't been since last summer. I hope I remember how, and I also hope I don't crash.
At 31 year old woman with road rash is not too attractive. I wonder if that would be considered an LB? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I know, I am bad.
Thanks for the reminder post about sunshine. It is shining here, too, and it is theraputic for me, as well.
Amy

Ugh... green with envy.... working all day here... would rather be golfing.
Believer...and others??? Could you look at CV55's thread and give her some support/insight. I've seen many of your posts, and you seem to cut through to the point and give "on the mark" advice".
She could use some help.
**this is not an attempt to threadjack** sorry if it seems that way! SD

Hi all -
I did go out to get some air but didn't end up getting my nails done because my nail shop now closes on Sundays and I didn't know. Oh well. Tomorrow at lunch time then.
I was sitting on a bench in a local park (it ended up being too chilly for the beach) just opening my new book on breast cancer when my cell phone went off with a text message. It said "It's a boy! ***** Jr!". I was crushed. I got up and went to my car and cried so hard. Someone we know who has my cell phone number text messages me every once in a while with something nasty. I think I have it narrowed down to a few people, but I can't just walk up to someone and blame them. All 3 are police officers.
I've received the following text messages recently (since my husbacd kicked me out):
1. *****'s (WH) girlfriend is pregnant and it isn't ****** (OW). Tell your divorce lawyer to check at the *** (local strip club).
2. ***** (WH) has been cheating on you since before you guys got married. Ask **** and ******. They know. (2 guys that were in our wedding).
3. How did ******'s (OW)[censored] taste?
4. Ask ***** (WH)about the night he was at the ****** hotel with ******(OW). I bet he will deny it.
I forget the couple of other ones received on my old cell phone.
I went to my husband's work a few weeks ago with spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and we ate in the department kitchen. A guy whom I suspect may be behind these text messages saw us together and tried to talk to us nicely. He is the uncle of the OW's fiance (they ALL work together). He hates my husband and my husband can't stand him. I don't care for him anymore myself because of how he is trying to hurt my husband's career any way he can over all of this (and this hypocrite is seeing a married woman for years!). Anyway, a week or so later I get a text message that said "I can't believe you took him back". That makes me believe it may be this guy because he saw us together getting along fabulously having dinner together like we used to. I just don't know.
Anyway, I've also suspected my own brother in these shenanigans because he hates my husband for work related stuff before the affair was discovered and then over the affair. I told my brother not to make me choose between him and my husband because I will always choose my husband no matter what. My brother doesn't understand because at 33, he still hasn't had any kind of long term relationship with a woman. Plus, on D-Day, my brother wants to finally act like a concerned brother when he wouldn't talk to me for 4 months before that because my husband couldn't change his days off. He thought because his brother in law was his supervisor, he would get his way. He then called me and mother f***** my husband up and down trying to upset me (he did) and get to my husband that way. It didn't work.
So, my therapeutic day was pretty much ruined. The OW isn't due until the summer and I guess the word is out on the sex of the baby.
I did contact Verizon and spoke to their security/fraud/harassment/legal department and they told me since there is no return telephone number on my text messages, someone is probably sending them from the internet and they cannot be tracked unless someone types in their return number. I've had this phone number since 1998 and everyone has it, I don't want to give it up. My husband and I figured it would die down and it has, but today really punched me in the gut.
I did try to go see the Passion movie, but the showing I was hoping to get into was sold out. I've never seen the movie theater so crowded in my life! Mel sure is making a mint with this one!
So, here I am in my dark bedroom on the computer like I said I didn't want to do today. It is dinner time so I guess I'll throw a Lean Cuisine French Bread Pizza in the microwave and catch up on some posts from earlier. By the way, the stresses of seperation and the loss of love is quite the diet! At 5'6", I am now at 122 pounds and loving it! I hope I can get down to 113 again. That is my goal. I was always very tiny but the last 4 years I steadily gained weight. After dinner I think I am going to hit the gym for an hour on the elliptical with my new book and then some weights.
Thanks for listening and have a nice night!
