Hey Charlotte,

Thanks for stopping by my thread. I try to keep up with yours, but I haven't had much time to get on here lately. Anyway, looks like you are in Plan B, so hang in there. I also felt a great relief at first, then after a couple of weeks became depressed again, then went back to being OK, then depressed again. Well, you get the drift. Now I'm doing really well.

As it turns out, my Wh did not file for D, but I'll post about it on my thread.

Keep moving to Plan Charlotte....

Thank you, Chai!!!

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to more roller coaster but not much choice in that I guess. I'll just hang on to the rail and close my eyes until I'm on the upslope again!!

Right now, still good...hoping to hang on to that for a while, still.

I'm going to stay around positive people, I talked to one at length the other night and WOW! I don't know if I've ever met someone so positive in my life!!! It was great!

But it seems that since I emptied the ballast of the pus-ridden secret in my craw when I talked to OWH and gave him the evidence...fantastic things started happening to me.

Life just did a 180...I guess because I got control back and thanks in no small part to everyone at MB!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Hi KaylaAndy!

Thank you! That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that!!

I have something in mind already!!

Hi mopey!!!!!

I was thinking about maybe a Doberman barking for the ringtone. Of course it absolutely MUST be a Doberman and I don't know if I can find a Dobie ringtone but I'll try!!!

Chewbacca, LOL!

We had to keep a friend's dog a few years ago, she was a husky and of course that's where Lucas got the sound effect for Chewbacca. So, it was funny for a while, but you can only take so much!!

They moved here from Illinois and the poor dog had to learn to live in the Texas heat!!

I have an IC but I haven't seen him since a couple of weeks before the temp hearing. There was too much going on. He still has my SAA book too!

I'll probably call him after the holidays. I should talk to him about my new problem that has nothing to do with Mr. Gray.

After riding out the holidays, I'm going to get a tour set up for culinary school so I can check it out. My Doberman wants to get Mr. Gray's wages garnished so there will be more money for school so he'll do his best to do so. My dad & stepmom offered to help, too, and my sis will help with loans, grants and such. (she's pursuing her Master's Degree in music so she's an expert at loans & grants!) So it's all good.

And I'm feeling the tug of getting my pilot's license. At that party the other night there were a lot of planes cruising overhead. We weren't that far from the airport I'm planning on going to for the lessons. It's pretty close to my Doberman, too, and the station where my mom works, also. All in that general area.

So, yeah, I'm gonna do it!!

Maybe I'll get some Christmas money to get the ball rolling!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

See you in the skies!!!!!!

LOL!!

I'm so goofy!! I paid the water bill late. Came home tonight and the water is off!

And I need a shower!!!

Oh, I'm LMAO so hard!!!!

Oh well, at least I have some spring water that I bought the other day so I can make my tea!!

Charlotte,

I've been off in lala land for a while so I was jsut checking in and it sounds like you're doing a great job on your plan B.

You have a great mental outlook and you're really being positive in tough times.

Great admiration for your strength and courage to deal with the situation.

It certainly sounds like things are getting better for you!

LOL, 411!!

That's funny! I just sent you an email!!!!

Thank you, 411, I'm hangin' in there! I got some Christmas money today, I may end up using that for my first flying lesson!!!

YAY!!!!

WooHoo!!!!!!

The water is BACK on!!

Man, they are quick! I was there less than an hour ago to pay the extra fee!

YAY!!

Now I can cook! Take a shower! Wash dishes!! Whee!

Have a nice day, Everybody!!!!

charlotte, i forgot to pay my water bill a couple of months ago and it was off for a day.

I can't tell you how many times I tried to turn on the faucet, forgetting that there was no water. Apparently I wash my hands a lot!

Hi maggie!!

Yeah, me too!! That's what was bugging me the most!! Handwashing! That, and I couldn't wash my face this a.m. either.

I'm really surprised it was so fast. I was expecting maybe it would be back on before 5pm. When I drove over, she said before noon, but NO promises!!

Well, wow! Unexpected and totally cool!!

Hey, All of You Wonderful People!!!!!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful, fantasmagorical holiday!!!

I'm hangin' in okay so far. If I don't think too much, I'm good. So I start playing nice movies if I start thinking too much about my Doberman's Dinner/Mr. Gray.

I've been trying to be careful because I'm really starting to have feelings of anger and disgust when I think about him. I know I need to purge these feeling so I've been doing a lot of creating and making pretty things instead of dwelling.

I made a bunch of Christmas cards and it was so FUN!! I may make more and more and enough for next year. Provided I have enough materials!!

I haven't done much shopping. I think I'm going to make a few more things like maybe some candles and other goodies that I can create in a jiffy.

String a few necklaces, maybe.

Finish some other jewelry projects that have been gathering dust.

So, yeah, it's all good!!!

If I show up here on Christmas Eve or Day whining and crying, please bring out the 2x4's!!!

But I don't think I will.

I may be in with a rant or two, though. But maybe not even that. We'll see!!!

Later on, Ya'll!!! Love ya'!!!!!!

Hi ya Charlotte!

That would be just too funny if you could get a doberman's bark for your ringtone.....lol....

And I didn't know about Chewbacca's voice coming from a Husky. I learned something new. Thanks! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



I think this is one of the most loving things you could do for yourself right now. It helps so much to sort out all the emotional crapola you're going through. I remember when my H left me and all the thoughts I had rolling around in my head...... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And I didn't have MB! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />





Awesome! When there's a will, there's a way. I so hope you go for it. I've been wanting to learn how to make sushi myself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />





That would be fun! My H and I have talked about that as well. Sounds like you have some exciting things to think about...... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />





That's cuz you're gonna come pick us girls up and take us somewhere fun, right? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Charlotte....is there anything you CAN'T do?....lol.....

Mr. Gray is a fool. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nope. LOL!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



I heartily agree!!!!

Thanks mopey!!!

Hi mopey!

Yeah, Lucas had a Husky...I can't remember her name at the moment, though. She was his inspiration for that. Awwwwwwwwww!

I'll probably call my IC after the holidays. The last time I saw him it was kinda strange. I was all hopped up and excited from exposing the affair and he almost seemed afraid of me. Maybe it was just me? But I got that vibe from him.

Yeah, it's about time to go to culinary school. I've been thinking about it for years but couldn't think of a way I could do it and still have time for life and marriage, etc.

Well, now there's a school not too far from here that offers night and day classes, but the night classes cause the course to be twice as long. I'll likely take these because I'm still helping to take care of my grandma.

And flying? Oh yeah!! I've been thinking about that for a long while, too. After I started finally looking into it about how to get started, I started having thyroid problems and there was just no way I could do it then.

I figured, well, I guess that's it then. I did't know how long the problems were going to go on and I sure couldn't fly a plane while I was having problems with passing out!!

Now I'm all good and regulated by the meds. No more extreme water retention or fainting.

Yes, EVERYONE is invited!!!! We'll cram as many as we can on the plane, LOL!!! Heck, my Doberman can even come along is he wants to.

My dentist is a pilot, I'm going to see if he has a few minutes to chat when I go in next time. He wanted to take Jonesy flying once but Jonesy was too chicken.

Anyway....have a great holiday!!!!!

Jonesy and I were at the mall (?) with DS25, DIL, DGS and I think DS21 and DD were there, too.

He walked off to go somewhere and I was wondering what happened to him. So I went to look.

I found him leaning in the window of a car and it was Slag! Yes, the car was parked in the mall. I think it was OWH's car, too.

I grabbed Mr. Gray (obviously he was NOT Jonesy, as I first believed) and I said, "How could you lie to me AGAIN?! How could you?!" "Get away from here and go back over there with DS25 and the others!"

He left and I turned to Slag. I grabbed her by the lapels and started shouting at her and shaking her. Calling her names. I said, "Nevermind ME! How could you do this to OWH?! Have you SEEN him lately?! He's going to end up in the hospital BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!! You lousy...(insert profanity here.)"

Then I threw her back in the seat. Then I picked up the car and threw it down the stairs. Then I left.

Cut to home, Mr. Gray is full of excuses and apologies. I said, NO MORE. I was ready to throw him out. I walked out to go for a walk.

Then all of a sudden my stepmom was running up to me trying to tell me things and I said, "I KNOW what he's doing. Remember, I told you about MB." So she said, "well, I guess I'm in this with you for the long haul, too."

That's about where the dream ended.

Dang! I was having such a SWEEEEEEET dream when I fell asleep! And then I had that freaky one not long before I woke up.

Anyway, I just wanted to get the dream out. Now I can forget it and get on with the day. Thanks for listening! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

C22

Wow, you picked up the CAR and threw it down the stairs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Remind me not to ever mske YOU mad!!! LMAO!!

Merry Christmas to you hon. Pick up a glass of eggnog instead...

Smartie

Hi smartie!!!

Thank you! Will that be the "good" eggnog or the other one? LOL!

Yeah, I'm like, "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!!" Then I turn green and the rest is history!!!

Have a great holiday!!!!

Well, I decided to drop in tonight with the screwy dream report from last night.

Dang! And I was having SUCH a good dream prior to the screwy one!!!

I'm not telling about the other...but in the screwy dream, this time Mr. Gray was at our home, but it was a different home.

He was saying he wanted to do whatever he could to save our marriage.

Well, who shows up? Slag. So he's talking to her. And I lit into her like lighter fluid to a match. I let her have it!!

I threw her skanky butt OUT!! Mr. Gray wasn't very happy about it, but oh well!

In other news:

Mr. Gray is trying to get my attention through the bank account again. He apparently bought something online and charged the shipping to our joint account, which he is not supposed to do.

Now I have to call my Doberman AGAIN! Not that anything can be done immediately, but asap after the Christmas break.

He also neglected to remove the car insurance from the account. Which he was supposed to do.

I talked to Mr. Gray's XW for nearly 5 hours tonight. No, the subject didn't revolve around him. Sure, he came up, but we talked about a billion other things.

She is worried about DIL, too, as am I. DIL is SO angry at Mr. Gray we are worried about what might happen on Christmas when DIL, DGS and DS25 have to see him at FIL's.

I don't know how much I want to tell her to calm down since Gray deserves all the verbal lashings he can get. I think I'll just let her handle it the best way she can.

If she slams the heck out of him...well, so be it.

She already knows I don't need to hear about what he said and did because I don't give a hoot. So I don't need any Gray reports.

I will be kind of curious about what happens, but I'm not even going to ask her about it afterwards. It just doesn't matter to me. He deserves everything he has coming to him.

And if he is so stupid (Stupid is as stupid does-Forrest Gump always loved to say) as to continue along his deadly path, he will be alone because I'm not going down that path with anyone.

So there's the report. I'm going to try and sleep a while now...have some baking catch-up to do later in the a.m.!!!

How's it going Charlotte?
