Adding:

I LOVE cukes! We always had fresh ones from the garden when I was growing up. And now, sometimes.

I will forever see them in a different light and be afraid to eat them!!!

Thanks, Bellevue! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Welllllll.....I had him going there for a while! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Evening Charlotte! Well, just be your sweet, normal, Plan-A godddess self and show him what he's going to be missing if/when you go to Plan-B!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think this is great... it tells me that he's missing you...

Semper Fi,

RIF

Hi RIF!!!!

Me TOO!!! I can't believe it! I am so EXCITED!! I know I shouldn't get TOO excited but I gotta enjoy this for awhile!!!!

WOW!!! Just....WOW!!!!!

I'm gonna have good dreams tonight!!

We'll see if I get to talk to him later. He told me he crashes early. LOL!! (I'd asked him if he'd ever gotten a chance to see the comet.)

Why IS that? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I know, I know.....but I can hope!!

Happy to hear this Charlotte is sounds like great news. Just remember to stay cool calm and collected. He's developing chinks in the armor but you need to get a complete breakthrough.

Hey Charlotte!

Never lose hope... there's always hope! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Semper Fi,

RIF

Yay charlotte! So glad you got to IM with Jonesy!

Hey Charlotte - Just checking in with you to see how your IM session went this evening...

Semper Fi,

RIF

Hi RIF!!

Well, I had him on his toes!! I was talking to DIL at the same time and when he answered or I asked him something or whatever...I'd jump over and tell her...

Awwww, he's not gonna respond!!!

He tried to get a little belligerent, just a little...but I didn't let that bother me.

The end came when I asked him if he was busy later. He asked me why. I repeated his question back to him.

Then I told him...maybe I would like to hear your voice, what about that?

He didn't say much after that. He said he had to go install a pc, and had to sign out. So I said goodbye.

I really wasn't expecting to get to talk to him at all. I didn't expect the wink to get a reaction out of him, that's for sure!!!

And the IM back and forth was REALLY a surprise, too. I thought it would be taboo...since it was THEIR thing... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Like IM with me would be cheating on her, or something.

Anyway, I got him a little while later. I sent him a text that said, "AHA! Caught ya'!!! Aaaahhhh, technology!"

He didn't respond but I wasn't expecting him to. He never called either but I wasn't really surprised. Get my goat!!! That's the ticket!!

Not this goat!! This goat stays in the pen!!!!!

DIL kept my spirits up pretty good. I was ROTFLMAO a LOT!!

And she HATES Slag SO much! There's no way in heck that she would EVER let Slag near DGS!!!

Gotta love it!!!

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm really not going to like going into B now that he's communicating with me.

But I must do it.

He'll probably p*ss me off before Saturday anyway. I don't know.

I want to see the letter in his hand so if I didn't give it to him I'd have to drive over there and deliver it. I wouldn't want to send it in the mail.

So, I don't know.

I have a headache and might try to sleep soon. Gotta help Mom take G'ma to the dentist in the a.m.!!!!

Thanks maggie!!!!

Me too!!! I'm still in shock!!!!

Chinks in the armor! Yay! Chinks in the armor!!!

(Charlotte dances around living room with glee!)

Hey Charlotte! I hope you're getting some sleep... my Texas Watch says that it's 0354 in the morning...

Rest assured that he's thinking about you... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That's why its so important for you to be in control and up-beat when you talk/IM/e-mail with him... leave a good lasting impression before you go to Plan-B!

Semper Fi,

RIF

Hey Charlotte - Just checking in with you before I fly out later this morning... Hope you're doing well...

Semper Fi,

RIF

Hi RIF!!

Thanks for checking in.

I had a bad dip in the coaster earlier. I was doing pretty good and then I went to the grocery store.

It started there. Mr. Gray was still in IM at that point. I checked on my phone before I left the store. He had hung around for a while in gmail earlier, too.

Well, by the time I got home and logged in on the pc, he had logged out. But that's not what bothered me.

I was at my g'ma's today, we had to take her to the dentist and it was my day today anyway so I was away from home for a while.

When I walked in I could tell how different the scent is here. The essence of Jonesy has really started to disappear. There was no Jonesy essence at all.

He's been gone too long and his pheremones have evaporated and they're just gone!

So that made me feel worse.

DIL has been cheering me up in IM, though. She's watching some movies I brought over and we're talking about them in IM as she watches.

It's kinda fun to watch a movie that way! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've also been reading all of the great info that's been brought out today on recoveries and Plan B.

I feel even more strongly now about it. I was having some niggling doubts but not anymore.

I'll still be a wreck though, I'm sure after I give him the letter and watch him drive away. From a place he can't see me watching from of course!!

You're flying out already?

Hey Charlotte - the flight from my FOB to my HQ was cancelled so I'll have to try again tomorrow...

My Texas watch says that it's 0423 so I hope you're getting some good sleep!

Sorry about your down day today... it WILL get better!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Semper Fi,

RIF

You won't be alone though, Charlotte. We'll all be right there with you.

Because it will end all the drama you've been in, you will feel a loss, an emptiness, but it doesn't last, and life gets much, much better from there on out. It really does.

Hey all (((char)))....you know I am so proud of ya for holdin up like you have been. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> sorry I haven't been around much DS picked up the virus/cold thingy the rest of the family has had so we have been at home.
But he's excited about X-mas I managed to get some shopping done for him......got his fosters stuff with bloo and cheese. did you shop for DGS yet?

Hi SIHW!!

Good to see ya'!!

Hope DS is doing better. No fun being sick!! I've been lucky enough over the last few years to avoid getting the flu or much of a cold but I had a host of other problems with the thyroid instead!!!

I haven't decided what to get DGS yet. The possibilities are endless!

I think I'll get him a live-in babysitter for DIL, he's been keeping her really busy lately.

There. That's two presents in one! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
