Which of these will prove the most difficult?

1. Waiting for Drac's appt?

2. Trying to keep from asking Drac a million questions After his appt?

3. Waiting for my appt Fri to hear what Steve has to say about Drac?

4. Finding Mimi some Charlie colonge?

HMMM.

well apparently #4 was easy....

So I'd have to say #2 and #3 will be equally impossible for all of us. with #1 a close 2nd.


I'm already drumming fingers and biting nails....there goes the manicure!

Whatever happened to just plain old garden-variety CHARLIE without all of those different colored versions??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

What's a GODDESS to do? So much decision-making required these days! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Too much decision making is right!


The things we do to maintain our Goddess auras!

I worked late. Drac called, he was still at work, too. This is the 3rd or 4th week in a row he called on HIS night to see if I was home, going home or out.

Itold him I was still at work. He asked if was going out. I said no. He said he might be a while yet at work.

I told him I'd call when I was leaving and we'd see where we each were.

Big surprise, I finished up what I was working on and left to get the kids. Called Drac & got vm. He KNEW I would go ahead and leave to get the kids.

Does he think I will be available like this FOREVER? ApparentIy he does!

I picked up the kids and took them out to eat, as I had nothing planned for dinner and it was getting too late to cook. Drac called as we were eating salad

He got here shortly after we did. We were outside. He did not even shut off his car. Came up on the deck where I was sitting. Kept his distance and kept trying to to look at me too much.

(Note cute Goddess short outfit!)

I told him it's late, you should all just stay here. He laughed it off

I worked my way over to sit in the chair next to him. We just talked about work stuff.

He mentioned a co-worker and says 'he really likes me. Well, he's not a real bright guy'

I said 'well, I would agree he isn't too bright, but I would NOT use that as an example of why he's not'

So,,he could not wait to get outta here. Made sure to keep his distance to avoid any contact.

So, I am just sitting here on the deck, enjoying the nice evening, and thinking it is only 16 hrs til his appt!

I sent him the call in instructions along with the links to complete a couple of questionaires beforehand. I hope he did them. I decided not to ask about it. He said he'd do the appt, so I have to trust he will.

I just know I am really close to the 'something's gotta give' point. Am praying for continued patience!

You already have the patience of a saint...or...angel?

Just wanted you to know, Farrah, that I'm not ignoring you, and I don't NOT care. It's just hard for me...I can't explain it. I just hope you don't hold it against me.

You are so incredible. You are in my prayers.

Oh, Bugs, I'm really glad you understand. I've felt badly for a long time, like I just dumped you. It just got hard...you are doing so beautifully.

I'm just cheering from the stands, not the sidelines.

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!

SIS, we all understand, no need...I have my bad days too when I feel like I can't support someone else...for whatever reason...

Sometimes those days turn into weeks...

I think BUGS can agree that is one of the great things about being here...no one from my POV is judgemental, we're all undestanding and supportive...whether it's a dark day or a bright and shiny one...

it will be okay! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We are NOT ALONE!

T minus 4.5 hours!

Drac called this am, but I missed the call. Called back

He said he just wanted to let me know he took the kids direct to the sitter,,,said he waited as long as he could so that I could sleep in. ?!?(Courtesy, wow?!)

He sounded friendly and happy. He even asked my advise about an issue at work today! I gave him my input, and said 'but it sounded like you were already thinking that. You are right!'

So, am going to TRY to stay busy!!

Praying God opens Drac's heart and mind!
