I was trained as a synthetic organic chemist, so I know how to make all kinds of different chemicals. I've actually been paid to [legally] make crack cocaine. Long story.

How are you today, SL? Any big plans for the weekend?

Thank you so much for your input on my thread, along with the other Killer Bees. Last week and this week have been a bit rough, but today is good for me. I don't know why exactly, it's just a good day and I'm ready to face the weekend without DDs.

Someone was telling Strivin on her thread to take advantage of her weekend without the kids and make the most of a bad sitch. That's my plan, too. No one benefits by my sitting at home crying my eyes out and wishing for things to be different.

I am a woman, not just a mother and wife. I'm important, too. First, I have to be important enough to myself....so pampering and stuff for ME is on the agenda this weekend.

Tell me what you are doing for YOU this weekend.

Hmmm, let's see, well Sunday night I'm gettin' my hairs did! I was thinking about hanging out with some friends Saturday, but I'm unsure.

I have my son all weekends now, pretty much, so I don't have any free time, just about 6 hours each day. I'll probably watch a movie or two and get some yard work done, if the weather permits. I ordered a new book "The Starter Wife" because it looks funny, so if that comes, I'll delve into that.

I have to admit, I miss some things about having a partner. I love to play racquetball, but found it difficult to find a partner since my WH left, and dropped my membership (I couldn't do the times for a structured league). I love racquet sports in general, but, alas, it takes two.

I may do some dancing (I was a dancer when I was younger, mostly jazz, modern, a little ballet). I feel attuned with myself, when I dance.

I really hadn't thought too much about it.

I haven't stayed home crying my eyes out for some time now. I am in a pretty good place. Happy, even.

I'd love to be your partner for racquetball! Might be tough, though with the distance problem. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's one thing that is nice about my DDs ages. They are old enough and coordinated enough to play alot of things with me and be half way decent at it (better, most of the time)

Today I'm writing the letter to cancel my gym membership. I used to go to Curves every day at lunch with my little sister. Can't afford it any more. I'll just have to do more with DDs at home.

Glad you're happy, SL, you really deserve it. Must be why you are able to help others so much right now, I tend to neglect my friends a little bit here when things get difficult for me. I always wish everyone the best, though, even if I don't feel like I have much to contribute at times.

LifeTime TV is starting a new series called that. It looks VERY, VERY good (and funny). Lots of good actors. May cause some triggers though because it's about men leaving their wives for bimbos.

princessmeggy, I deal with so many triggers, I'd rather deal with them while feeling my favorite emotion, "laughter through tears" (Steel Magnolias--Dolly Parton's line)

If I could get through the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy when my WH was deep in his A's while living at home, I can get through a funny book about rebounding from such a terrible attack as that of getting DUMPED by your WH.

I made the suggestion and I bet the tissue companies do benefit when we do that.

Asking for my advise is like asking for R.F. Scott's help to get to the South Pole.

When I hear of hairy people, I think of my dad, when he was about 220lbs at 5'7", floating in the lake at my Aunt's house at Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs ARK. He looked like an otter. I half expected him to start cleaning himself or something.

OR

One of my old coworkers, very hairy, who allowed his wife to use the product NADS on his neck hair. He had a neck filled with HUGE red bumps...It was fricken hilarious. When I saw him, I would say, 'Try our NADS'.
