Yup, yup, for sure.
I don't know how I got it into my head that he was expected not to grieve. He can do that snivelly stuff on his own dime.

Regarding the pie - see if you can make one (canned pumpkin pie filling and a frozen crust makes it EASY). The smell will waft everywhere.

Yes, you can get a can of pumpkin pie filling, and a frozen pie crust. Even I can do that. Just don't forget to take the piece of paper out of the frozen pie crust before pouring in the filling, like I did once. blush (Never bake before coffee!)

Have it be just finished baking, or maybe still baking, when he shows up.

ETA: Don't use the oil at the same time as the pie. Wait until after the pie smell has died down, or save the oil for another night, is my advice.

The P oil can be found all over - health food places, smoke shops, etc. It costs about 7 dollars here in California, but the good thing is that it will last around 10 years. Just put some on your fingers, and shake hands with hubby, and it is guaranteed to follow him for the next 2 days.

I've heard about the pumpkin pie and spice thing and men. Try that. I like the pie mix where you add eggs and evaporated milk - it tastes much better to me. Or you COULD use the real pumpkin - you just boil the insides.

Be careful with the patchouli oil, it is very strong, a little goes a loooong way. Start with very little, better safe than overwhelming! faint

You could also serve watermelon early on in the day. flirt

Quote
Watermelon is a natural aphrodisiac.

How Does it Work?
Watermelon contains an ingredient called citrulline. Citrulline reacts with enzymes to trigger the body's release of a chemical called arginine. The result of increased arginine levels is relaxed blood vessels, scientists at Texas A&M say the effect is similar to Viagra.

While citrulline is found in all parts of the watermelon, the rind is 60 percent richer in the ingredient. And even higher doses are found in yellow-fleshed watermelons.

Before you decide to nix the melon at the company picnic this summer, realize that watermelon doesn't work exactly like Viagra. It isn't organ specific like the prescription drug is. But watermelon is a tasty and refreshing way to invigorate circulation without any drug side effects.

And be sure to always open the door with your NON-dominant hand. It aligns your spine and puts your body and mind in harmony with your heart.

Okay, so I made that up. It just went so well with the patchouli oil and all the other aphrodisiac advice. I had nothing to offer, so I pulled it out of my... well, I made it up.

Slut red.

Does it for the Wookie every time.

Men!

I have a recipe for pickled watermelon rind somewhere. Wonder if the pickling would kill the ooh-la-la enzymes?

Seems to be the only way to eat the rind, huh? Otherwise, BLECH!

You forgot the scented candles. If you fit a candelabra with shoulder straps, you can take them with you wherever you go.

Oh great.

Now I have a visual of TTL running down the road, naked, painted red, candles (and hair!) aflame, reeking of patchouli oil smoke, leaving broken pumpkin pies scattered in her wake.

It's quite exciting, but does it fill an EN?

I don't I've laughed that hard in a while, I guess it's Halloween so I guess it won't hurt if I do, right?? LOL

Okay, so I talk to H for an hour this morning on the phone. WE had some financial stuff to go over with the mortgage as were in a re-structuring thing with attorneys.

So I just happen to notice this morning that his new address is on my credit report, so i call him and say hey we need to finish filling out the forms so they can get started but I noticed your address is on my credit report. I say the attorneys want to know everything, is that apartment in your name, he says yes! I wanted to go off and LB his a$$ all over the place, I started to feel myself be over come with rage! I sweetly say, ok wow, I thought you moved in with her and the apartment is in her name. He says I know you don't like to talk about this stuff, and I say no i don't, he says but my credit was better but all our names are on the lease, she had her credit ran too. WTF WTF WTF!!! Ok sorry ranting on the floor! mad grumble skeptical rant2

I did however freeze my credit the day he left so no credit can be extended in my name and I did tell him that too.

I then explain to him that anything he does financially right now effects me because we are fully married and he says I know, I'll see if I can go to the leasing office tomorrow and see if I can remove my name. I say yes I would like that as soon as possible. I say we need accurate information when filling out everything, how are we going to deal with 2 bank accounts. I say I have no idea of what you make, I just know you put money in.
So i get a little bit of a better picture, he says I pay a portion for my rent and my food and that's it. Guess that's why he always eats ramen and does all his own laundry. Sounds like they live completely divided.
So I guess she is paying for her half and her son. He says we will just tell them I rent out a place for a few days a week when I work in San Diego, which he does a day or 2 a week. Ya know funny thing is a week ago when I was telling how hard it is for DS10 he says well can't you tell him that I just stay down here for work? I say no I can't hes old enough to know and most fathers are home every night.

I was good, I remained calm, did not commit any love busters, and we quickly moved through that and into another conversation.

{{Breath}} He will be here later for pumpkin carving.

Over all I'm feeling closer to having my head and heart in sync for Plan B. I am refusing to allow my self to feel bad over him spending the holidays alone as he has no problem having me share him during the holidays.

I personally think a lot of the reason he is staying is he feels responsible for her. Now I'm going to revise my conditions being sure to add removal of name from lease if he doesn't do that in the next few days.

Surely I'll be really attractive then, kiss I'll answer the door with my left hand with and in my right hand pumpkin pie and watermelon. Mounted on my head will be the candelabra of scented Patchouli oil candles did forget anything? faint
