Goddess thing for the day.
Spent 3 hours in a spa pool and ate belgium chocolates.

AWESOME!!!

I will spend the day at work, a spa pool sounds like a better place. Oh well, I will do that another day. Yesterday was kayaking for me, tonight it is house cleaning and tomorrow I'm going to my aerobics class. Keep busy and happy is my motto nowadays.

Goddesses watch their wallets

Something for goddesses to watch!

Today, I am driving my children and one of their friends to church camp. 80 miles on the interstate and then I turn off and go another 30 or more. About 100 miles from here, the interstate is closed in both directions. Don't think this is gonna be fun. There are two alternate routes. Both of them are 2 lane roads winding through lots of little towns w/ stop lights and stop signs.

After I get them up there, I have to turn around and come home.

I don't like this plan.

See it as an ADVENTURE!!

I LOVE ADVENTURES!!

I have returned. Left town at 10 and got back at 7. Stopped for about an hour to eat and take a detour. Visited at the camp for about 2 hrs. The rest of the time was driving. It was more like 150 miles each way. Wasn't bad. Very pleasant up on the mountain compared to the sweltering blanket of soggy air we had here when we left.

You see there..A NICE ADVENTURE!!

I found some $5 "SHADES" today at Walmart with itty bitty Rhinestones on the corners of the frame...lost the HISTORIC PINK SHADES many moons ago..... that helped to LAUNCH the AFFAIR-SURVIVING GODDESS MODE.....

It was a nice adventure.....took another teenager up there. He will be a senior at the school my son will attend in the fall. It never hurts for a freshman to know a senior. My daughter met him when they were in 7th grade together. He is Chinese. Very interesting, indeed.

BTW, congrats on the sunglasses. As for me, I always get the polarized ones. Really helps on cloudyish days. Reduces the glare.

Hi Cinderella, I sure have missed you. It seems like we haven't talk for a few days.

How are you?

I'm ok. Have been busy. My children were both home last week but gone this one.

I was sitting here this morning thinking I'm just sort of 'adviced' out. Lately, there hasn't been a lot I've felt compelled to say to anyone - unless it was to take a 4x6" to them. (No 2x4" is big enough.) I even put two people on 'ignore' last week because I thought they were, for one reason or another, idiots unwilling or incapable of listening. In all the years I've been here, I've only put one other person on ignore.

My blood pressure is higher than it should be and I haven't been taking the best care of myself. You know how mama's are when finances aren't the greatest.

So, this morning, I was thinking about what I am doing still hanging around this place. My marriage didn't recover but I did. It's been years since I went through the separation and divorce. What need is this place filling for me? How could I better use my time?

Those are the things on my mind.

Good morning ladies,

Cinderella, how's about sticking to the threads like this one, or a Plan B type thread? There are ladies here who could greatly benefit from your previous experience AND your experiences today.

I don't post much anymore for myself. I do help where I can. Sometimes, the board overwhelms me, so I don't post much on those days, as I know I wouldn't be much help.

There are a couple of newbies that I am keeping up with. I know exactly where they are right now; the FEELINGS rush back when I read their threads. The FEAR is palpable. I wish I could be there, next to them, literally pushing them forth. I see them wilting when they need to come from a place of power; the power to propel their situations in a positive direction for themselves.

One thing that I have always been grateful for was my willingness, without provocation, to seek legal counsel and protect my son as best I could. I see newly betrayed having a hard time with this one, because they don't fully grasp what is at stake. UGH. It's painful stuff.

Anyway, Oh, yeah, the FINANCES. Oy, unfortunately, I 'get' that, too. It's tough, with the price of everything going up up up.

Hope you stick around a bit, cinderella, even if it is only to tell jokes

THE GODDESS THREAD would not be the same without you, Cinders...

I agree with Mimi!
Just lay low and take it easy for awhile. I did see your blast to someone the other day and scratched my head. Not like you.
I think you need to take five and just hang out on the fun threads! Like this one and the Fem Hyg one!! Don't leave us!! I don't post much but read all the time. I love all the jokes and stories you link to.

Some people are just so stupid or such gas bags that I can't help it.

Maybe it's the ADD talking. Maybe it's the live experience. Maybe it's the messes in my own life.

Hmmm, maybe I should go find the blast job and edit it. I do blast once in a while. But, I think I've only done that a handful of times in all my years here.

Because you are a part of my life that is good, pure and healing and I care alot about you and what happens in your life.

We, specifically need you. I need you to teach me how to heal, keep moving forward and believe that I will survive this.

And because I need you to teach me so I can help others as a way of thanking you and so many others who stayed her for me.

{{{{{{{{{{{CINDERS}}}}}}}}}}}

Hey cinders - we could talk about 'old skool' video games

Other than that...I hope to be as happy as I've seen you on here. It's a real inspiration

Ok, I'll hang around.

Right now, I wanna go to bed. Two consecutive nights w/out much sleep will do that to you. Tomorrow is shaping up to be busy, too.

Hello GOODESSES,

....MULAN came to mind...

Anyone here know how she is doing?

Thanks.

Any one know anything about the Myrtle Beach, So Carolina area? I need beach vacation badly......

All I know is that it is very popular, especially around spring break.

But it's summer and probably just as nice.
