I am feeling much better. I cooked an excellant dinner, sang to myself "I will survive", and hit the vino. Of course I did cook my boys Texas toast upside down, but what the HE**? The dinner was still good. Ok, who recommended that song and who sang it? I'm planning on blasting it on a daily basis.

Another positive! Now that H has extra Wellbutrin in his system, and came home and chugged 2 large glasses of wine, he is far less gloomy. Wow, drugs and alcohol, the key to a wonderful recovery from withdrawal. He is so pleasant. Almost like he actually likes being around me.

OK, I'm almost done with my vino. H wants to mall walk. Just like two old foggies. Heh, I'd walk outside, but he has become very wimpy. My feeling at the moment, which could be the wine talking, is if this man dumps me he will be dumpping one hell of a woman. I need to keep telling myself that. He can have the needy, selfish, drop to her knees in remorse (Yeh right!) OW. Go for it baby! I will still have my integrity.

OH, this was good. An employee of H's, who is a good friend of OW's, worked with me a few weeks ago. She saw H today and told him how great I looked. She said it several times. I am hoping she passes that along to the "B". Have to love the A weight loss diet!

OK, I will stop babbling! You all are the greatest! No kidding. I would be constantly in hell if it weren't for all of you. If H and I split up can I come visit you. ML, I've never been to Texas. Now I get to walk half crocked. Great! CV

Ok ladies, I'm back from our exciting mall walk. Let's see OW do something more exciting than THAT with my H! I have to admit I felt like sleeping on a bench after a half hour because of the vino, but I made it another 15 minutes.

After the walk I told H I wanted to buy a CD. 3isacrowd, if your listening, you inspired me the other day by mentioning Gloria Gainer's "I Will Survive." Being that I grew up with great rock and roll I picked out the least offensive of the disco cd's, and got myself that song. I plan on blasting it every day. H couldn't understand why I was buying a disco album. I decided he doesn't need to know.

Our walk was very pleasant. No mention of OW, the A, H's horrible withdrawal, blah, blah, blah. Frankly, I had this little smirk on my face that H kept asking me about. I think it has to do with tonight I really don't give a SH** what he does. I had a revelation today about this MB program. If you follow all the steps and it works, it's great. However, if you follow all the steps and it doesn't work it's still great. Because at that point you're sooooo sick of the WS you can't wait until they're gone. What do you all think?

Mom, you freaked me out with the Dad post. I thought maybe I was motivating your H to chill out by getting drunk. Hope the enjoyment you get from your vino makes up for the lobster face.

wanting him back, hopefully the vino has made you not want him back so much, at least for tonight. It's worked wonders for me.

ML, don't mock me out too much about the texas toast. Being the italian momma that I am, what do we know about texas toast?

Well, thank God with the help of H's drugs and my vino I found my lost humor again. It may be gone tomorrow, but it is here tonight. Thanks for joining in my fun! CV

Scrambled eggs for supper? yegads! [I suppose i shouldn't talk, my DH had to make himself microwave hotdogs - teach him to criticize my cooking! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> ]

Well, I wonder if CV55 and ontheedge are still out drunken mall walking like a pair of old fogies? He is probably sitting on the mall bench sulking while she shops every store like a good woman should! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

It's my my Italian, Irish, (whatever mixture is on H's side), children that eat the texas toast. I provided the linguini with clam sauce.

ML, why would you think H wouldn't be in one piece? Just because I wanted to plan B his butt out the door earlier today? Actually I'm 100%Sicilian, so every now and then my heritage gets the best of me, like today. I don't think I could ever maintain a Plan A if H starts seeing the witch again. I think we'd be in Plan B pretty fast.

W H B, 2 classes at the gym! You have to be looking good woman!
